Take and hold

Set Up

Determine Player 1 using the universal scenario rules.  Start by placing 3 objective markers along the centreline of the table as shown.  Then proceed by setting up the terrain using the universal method (Saga Book of Battles p8), however no terrain may be placed or moved within S of an objective marker.

Deployment

Each player deploys their units entirely within L their own table edge.  Player 1 deploys half their units, including their Warlord.  Player 2 then deploys all of their units.  Finally, Player 1 deploys their remaining units.

Beginning the game

Player 1 starts the game.  Before the first turn Player 2 rolls 3 Saga dice and places them on their battleboard.

During the Game

From turn 2 onwards, both players immediately score bonus point(s) for completing the following:

• 1 point: winning a melee with at least one model from their unit within S of an objective marker before step 6 (removing casualties) of the melee

• 2 points: for each objective marker they control at the end of their opponents turn

End of the Game

After each player has played 5 turns the game ends.

To determine victory, each player calculates the massacre points scored throughout the game, and adds any bonus points obtained from the objective markers.  This becomes their total number of VPs.  If a player scores at least 12 VPs, and 3 or more than their opponent, they are the winner otherwise it is a draw.
