Round 1: Present Claim

Light the Beacons (Objective Scenario) P74

For this scenario, you will need objective markers that can be replaced with Markers from Each player to see who is currently holding them.

you may wish to decide which player is lighting the beacons (as a warning) and which is trying to keep them from burning. 

Before rolling off to choose sides, place one Objective Marker in the exact centre of the board and then the players take it in turns placing Objective Markers until both players have each placed three Objective Markers. Roll off to see who places the first Objective.

At the end of their turn, each player can choose to claim (a present) any Objective Markers which they control. Mark the Objective Marker with a suitable token for the player that has claimed it.

Objective Markers claimed by a player remain under that player’s control, even if no scoring units are within 3”, until claimed by an enemy unit.

Victory Points are awarded at the end of the game as follows:

•  1 Victory Point for each claimed Objective Marker.

Round 4: Everybody's Fool

This scenario use 10 buff counters (each player has one 2, two 1's and two 0's) and an Objective Marker

The Objective Marker is placed in the exact centre of the board (or as close to it along the centre line as possible).

After rolling off to choose sides, roll off to see who places the first Bluff Counter. The players take it in turns to place one Bluff Counter of their choice (marked side down) fully on their opponent's half of the board, following the same placement restrictions as Objective Markers.

At the end of the game, all bluff Counters are flipped to reveal their value. Bluff counters are treated as Objective Markers from this point on.

Victory Points at end of game

• 1 Victory Point for each Bluff Counter marked with a 1 that you control

• 2 Victory Points for each Bluff Counter marked with a  2 that you control

• Bluff Counter marked with a 0 are not worth any VP.

Round 4: Barren or Fertile lands

This scenario use 10 buff counters (each player has one 2, two 1's and two 0's)

After rolling off to choose sides, roll off to see who places the first Bluff Counter. The players take it in turns to place one Bluff Counter of their choice (marked side down) fully on their opponent's half of the board, following the same placement restrictions as Objective Markers.

The Bluff Counters are treated as Loot Counters.

When a Player Picks up a Bluff Loot Counter, the value of it is then revealed to both players.

Victory Points are awarded at the end of the game as follows:

• 1 Victory Point for each Bluff Counter marked with a 1 that you hold

• 2 Victory Points for each Bluff Counter marked with a 2 that you hold

• Bluff Counter marked with a 0 are not worth any VP.

Round 5: Squared Away

Before rolling off for sides, roll off to pick one of the six 12" by 12" areas along the centre line that will score 2 VP.

The middle 12" (6" from each side of the centre line scores)

At the end of the game, divide the board into six 1'x1' squares straddling the centre line (6" from each side of the centre line).

Add up the total Unit Strength of each player's units within a rectangle.  If a unit is straddling the line between two rectangles, it is considered to be in whichever square is covered by more than 50% of its base.  If there is no clear majority, the unit is not in either zone.

The player who has the highest Unit Strength in each square controls it.

Victory Points are awarded at the end of the game as follows:

• 2 Victory Points if you hold the 2VP Square

• 1 Victory Point for each other square you hold.
