Set Up

Determine Player 1 using the universal scenario rules.  Then proceed with setting up the terrain using the universal method (Saga Book of Battles p8).

Deployment

Each player deploys their units entirely within S and L of their own table edge.  Player 1 deploys half their units.  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

A frozen wind whips around the battlefield.  After deployment but before the first turn, all units except for Hearthguard and Heros suffer a fatigue.

End of the Game

After each player has played 5 turns roll a die.  On a 4+ each player has a final turn otherwise the game ends.

To determine victory, each player calculates their massacre points scored throughout the game.  This becomes their total number of VPs.  If a player scores 3 or more VPs more than their opponent, they are the winner otherwise it is a draw.
