The Campaign and Event System.

1. Roll for location, terrain type, and events.
2. Roll for primary mission, roll for secondary objectives
3. Roll for secondary objectives marker types and place on the table.
4. FIGHT THE GAME!
5. At the end of the game, note down the consequences of victory and defeat and the
location of the battle.
6. To generate the next game go to 1, then roll for mission type (i.e. battle, standard
e.t.c. see rolling for scenarios) for the next in the series. This will allow you to write
up your army list using the correct force organisation chart without rolling the mission
to be played. The winner of the previous game is considered to be the attacker if
appropriate, unless a counter attack is generated. The attacker rolls up the scenario to
be played and any special events. Remember to apply consequences of victory and
defeat from the previous game. For a campaign scoring system and winning and
losing details, see The War generator.

Rolling for scenarios.

Roll D6 to see which type of mission is to be fought (standard, battle e.t.c.) and
another to select the column to be used. If this is done after a battle it will enable you
to know before hand which organisation chart to use and who will be the attacker in
the next game. It is recommended that you do not roll up the mission however. Wait
until after you have written your army lists. Roll a D6 to select the scenario. The
winner of the previous battle is the attacker if appropriate, unless a counter-attack is
generated.
New scenarios.
The Armageddon mission is a seek/destroy gamma game, both sides use the sustained
attack rule and the its personal baby (see War generator) special rules!
The assassins mission is in WD 301; if you dont have this issue it is a seek/destroy
gamma game in which enemy H.Q. units are worth double V.Ps.
Cleanse + is a normal cleanse mission but with an additional objective marker, placed
36" out from the short table edge and 12" in from the centre line of the table in one of
the unoccupied table quarters. If you have a scoring unit within 6" and there are no
enemy within 12" you gain an additional table quarter (in other words, there are 5
table quarters!).
Escape is in WD 306; if you dont have this issue, use the set up from seek and
destroy. One of the defenders H.Q. units must be nominated to make the escape. It
must be placed in the deployment zone 56 inches from a model or piece of terrain that
represents safety. This could be a teleporter or flyer perhaps. If the H.Q. unit reaches
safety, the defender wins, if not, well you knowThe scenario uses deep strike and
infiltrate.

Scenario tables.

Roll to see which type of battle is to be fought (battle, standard e.t.c.) then roll to see
which column to use. This will indicate whether a counter attack has occurred (a C
indicates a counter attack), then roll for the scenario. Note that some missions occur
outside their normal organisation charts here. Use the correct ones from the rulebook.

Sabotage *1.
For sabotage missions roll 1d3 on the secondary objective markers table to see what
the target is. If you destroy the target, the penalty is inflicted on your enemy, or you
gain the bonus in the following game.
Secure/control and Hold at all costs*2.
For secure/control missions roll 1d3+3 on the secondary objective markers table to
find out what you are after. If you capture the loot, you receive the bonus or inflict the
penalty in the following game.
Rescue *3.
For rescue missions, roll on the following table to determine what is to be recovered.
The objective is an individual or device that will produce the effect rolled up on the
table. If you successfully rescue it, the bonus is received in the following game.

To be rescued. Effect.
1. A saboteur. Sabotage.
2. A saboteur. Booby trap.
3. A spy. Intelligence.
4. Fifth columnists. Delayed.
5. Fifth columnists. Comm-net break.
6. A valuable item. War gear.

Counter Attacks.
Any scenarios annotated with a C are counter attack missions. Normally the player
who won the previous battle rolls for the new scenario and is considered the attacker.
However in this case the defender has turned the tables and launched an attack of their
own. The former defender is now the attacker in the scenario generated. The former
attacker loses one of his victory benefits as he is outmanoeuvred by his foe.
Special.
A player rolling up a special result may choose which scenario to play from the
appropriate column (veto rule still applies), one of the special missions from the rule-
book, kill team, or a scenario from elsewhere. They may also choose the location.

Secondary Objectives.

Its not as simple as that, children! Both attacker and defender may have more up their
power armoured sleeves than you would think! It is possible that while the attacker is
obstensively attacking a strongpoint, he may also be attempting a breakout to force
elements into enemy territory. Likewise, a defender may wish to defend the aforesaid
4
Strong point but has insufficient resources to do so. Roll 1d6, on a result of a 1 only
roll once on the table, the result being the same for attacker and defender. I.e. a 1
followed by a 4 = occupy for both adversaries and both parties will be aware of their
opponents secondary mission. If a 1 is not rolled, both players roll on the table in
secret; this will lead to much second- guessing, bluff and various subterfuges! A
defender launching a sabotage mission must inform his opponent that he is attempting
this, as he is attempting to deny materiel from the attacker.

Set up, force organisation charts and deployment zones are all determined by the
mission being played (i.e. not the secondary objective). So, for e.g. an attacker may be
patrolling into enemy territory, but he must also destroy that fuel dump, while the
patrolling defender attempts to cleanse the area! Some of the above are normal
scenarios; the others are dealt with below. To determine areas to be cleansed, divide
the table into quarters normally. Should the secondary objective be the same as the
primary mission, add 1 to the roll for a new result in all cases except sabotage. In this
case, the secondary objective marker is also to be destroyed.
This system will require you to make up objective markers appropriate to the
secondary objectives rolled. These are high ground, fuel dump, ammo dump,
observation post and important location. Always place two objective markers, the
type of which is determined on the secondary objective markers table, one for the
defender, one for the attacker, even if they are irrelevant (they are only relevant in
occupy, recovery and sabotage). Place the counters separately 3d6 inches in a random
direction from the centre of the table. If the defenders primary goal is to leave the
table, his secondary objective is ignored but the attackers is not.










5
Secondary objective markers table.

You must attempt to take and mine high ground so it cannot be occupied and used
as an observation post, hidden manoeuvres bonus.
1
Deny the enemy the fuel dump, inflict lack of resources. 2
Diversionary action (see sabotage on how to achieve this). You may choose which
marker to place. Enemy forces will be diverted to contain a fictitious threat. Inflict
delayed.
3
Raid the ammo dump, blaze away. 4
Important information to be recovered from observation post, intelligence. 5
Important location, a morale boost is needed, rousing speech. 6

Tyranids and Necrons are immune to results 2 and 6. Replace 2 with booby trap and 6
with blaze away (see bonuses and penalties).
A note objective on markers.
The markers may or may not be relevant. Most of the secondary objectives are
invisible in that you will have to try to work out the intentions of the enemy
yourself. The markers represent the location of positions or objects that the enemy
may regard as important.
An example.
In a patrol mission, the defender rolls sabotage / disrupt as his secondary objective
and diversionary action on the markers table. This means that by sabotaging his
objective marker, he creates a diversion that delays an enemy unit in the following
game. If the marker was a fuel dump, however, by sabotaging it he would inflict lack
of resources instead. So, the markers can be clues, but are not always to be trusted!

Secondary objectives.

Assassinate.
The enemy commander is a dangerous adversary, he / she / it must be eliminated.
Breakthrough.
You must force an opening in the enemy defensive line. To do this you must get 2
scoring units off your opponents table edge within 18" of the centre of his
deployment zone. If no deployment zone exists, or it does not touch a table edge re-
roll this result.
Cull.
A decisive blow must be landed. Reduce your enemy to below 50% strength.
Hold the Line.
They must not pass! To achieve this, there must be more friendly scoring units in your
deployment zone than enemy at the end of the game. If there is no deployment zone
re-roll this result.
Lightning Raid.
You must take the fight to the enemy! You must get 2 scoring units into the enemy
deployment zone at the end of the game.
Marshall your forces.
Reinforcements are required elsewhere. You must achieve your goals with minimal
losses. Do not sustain 50% casualties in points. Re-roll this if using sustained assault.


6
Occupy.
A piece of terrain, perhaps some high ground, or an objective such as a knocked out
vehicle, is important to your success, roll 1d6 on the markers table. You must have a
scoring unit closer than any enemy at the end of the game. Half of the results are
positive, i.e. if you occupy your objective you benefit from the bonus in the following
game. The negative ones are inflicted on you should you fail. High ground should be
placed in an elevated position as near the rolled location as possible.
Plant the flag.
In order to demonstrate our dominance, we will occupy the very heart of their
territory. You must have more scoring units within 12" of the nearest piece of cover at
the very centre of the defenders deployment zone than your opponent.
Rallying point.
The enemy attack has caught us off guard. Should it be necessary we will fight to the
last at the rallying point. You must have more scoring units within 12" of the nearest
piece of cover at the very centre of your deployment zone than your opponent.
Recovery.
Important equipment / genetic material has been stranded in no mans land, it must be
recovered. Roll 1d3+3 on the markers table to determine its nature. You must move
into contact with your objective marker (you may assault it) and stay in contact with it
through the enemies next turn. After that you are free to move away. If the unit
survives the game unbroken you have succeeded and benefit from the bonus.
Sabotage/disrupt.
Roll 1d3 on the markers table for the nature of the objective. You must move into
contact with your objective marker. For how to successfully destroy the objective, see
the sabotage mission. If you succeed, the negative effect is inflicted on the enemy or
you gain the bonus. When a defender rolls this in conjunction with a fuel / ammo
dump or high ground marker, he is attempting to deny the attacker access to his own
assets that have been compromised by the attack.
Trap!
The carefully laid trap is sprung! You must reduce the enemy to below 50% strength.
To help you achieve this, 2 of your troops squads, worth a maximum of 200 pnts each
gain the sustained attack special rule. Decide which units before deployment.

Designers Note.
The tables are arranged to allow you, at the end of a battle, to determine the type of
game to follow (standard, battle e.t.c.), who will be the attacker, but not necessarily
the mission to be played. This is useful in two ways. Firstly, it allows you to write up
army lists ahead of time knowing which force organisation chart to use. Secondly,
even though you may be aware of the type of game, the terrain type and any benefits
or penalties you may be subject to, you will not know the mission to be played. This
represents the fog of war quite neatly. Even though you have an idea of what is to
come, you can never be entirely sure... I would however recommend that you roll up
the endgame (if this is necessary) before writing your army lists. You know what has
to be done, go and do it.

Location.
This puts a name to the scene of the battle. This serves two purposes. One is colour.
After all, the breakout from the Yabelo Valley sounds far better than a plain old
breakout, doesnt it? Also, you should keep a record of locations and their associated
8
terrain type. If a subsequent battle takes place at the same location; use the same
terrain type.
The battlefield need not be identical but should follow the same theme. A player that
won a battle at a specific location that is revisited may reuse the bonus that terrain
type gives if any. Note that even if a player won a battle at a location; he isnt
necessarily in control of it. Therefore it is possible to either attack or defend there.
Terrain Type.
This is intended as a theme to arrange your terrain to. It is not a straightjacket. If you
dont have appropriate models re-roll or use a substitute. Also, just because you find
yourself in the Loten forest, it doesnt mean the entire table must be forested, just
more than usual. Likewise, copses of trees are fine on the Notek Plains. If you havent
got a modelled ammo dump, assume a building is chock full of lovely bombs to fire at
the hated foe! Special terrain is included to allow you to use your 200ft square
volcano or your 1 to 1 scale model of the Taj Mahal if you wish.
Events.
These are assorted events and unusual battlefield conditions that may arise. See the
appropriate tables for general and army, and descriptions for specific results.

Specific results on the table.

Bombed.
Bomb damage to 1D3 buildings (or sections of woods if none are available) has set
them on fire. They are now considered to be impassable terrain and block line of
sight. Anything forced to enter the area (a drifting skimmer perhaps or deep strikers)
will be destroyed. If this happens during night fight conditions, models within 6" of
the fires will be illuminated as if under a searchlight.
Harassed.
The attackers recon elements have been held up by enemy action. If the game uses
the infiltrators rule; each squad must roll 4+ or be forced to set up normally.
Hazard.
Leaking barrels, crates, pipes e.t.c. or possibly an entire river or building spew forth-
dangerous materials. There are 2+1D3 small areas of danger, the size of a small blast
marker, determined before choosing deployment zones. These should be placed 4D6"
in a random direction from the centre point of the table. Roll for each one. Another
option is to designate a terrain piece (the aforementioned river or perhaps that sinister
looking refinery) as the offending article. Be as neutral as possible in choosing. Any
model that comes within 6" of these objects takes a dangerous terrain test.
Mechanical.
One randomly chosen vehicle in the attackers force is beset with mechanical
problems. Roll a difficult terrain test for it every turn it moves. If the attacker has no
vehicles, then lucky him.
Night fight.
Fight the scenario rolled as usual but use the night fight rules as well.
Relics.
The battlefield is littered with the remnants of previous conflict. Place D6 sections of
razor wire, a D6 section of tank traps and 1D3 bunkers any where on the table, outside
the deployment zones. Do this before table edges are diced for (if appropriate). If you
have some spare vehicles; throw 1D3 of them on too. Did I say throw? NO DONT
DO THAT! Place them very gently. Each player should take turns placing terrain. If
fortifications or obstacles are to be in use, you may ignore this result.
9
Customising the tables.
The tables are there as guidelines and can be changed in any way you see fit. For e.g.
you may wish to play out your campaign over a smaller geographical area. To do this,
cut down on the number of locations (by repeating them in the table). Also, the place
names have been either made up or culled randomly from an atlas. If your wars take
place on a Vallhallan style ice world, you could substitute them for Russian sounding
ones.

Bonuses and penalties.

Bonuses and penalties may be accrued by succeeding or failing in the objectives, in
particular terrain types and through events. An attacker or defender may only take two
bonuses into a game. These may be selected after the mission and secondary
objectives are rolled for but before table edge roll or deployment. You must take all
penalties if you have them. In a counter attack mission, the former attacker loses one
bonus (from his entire supply) selected by his opponent. All bonuses and penalties,
except fortification, or otherwise stated, are available only in the game after the one in
which they were won. This applies even if they are unusable.

Bonuses and penalties, terrain type.

A win at a particular terrain type confers the following bonuses.

Road/bridge. Freedom of movement.
Crossroads. Captured infrastructure.
Ammo dump. Blaze away.
Fuel dump. Inflict lack of resources.
Forest. Hidden manoeuvres.

Other missions.
Various missions are printed in White Dwarf and elsewhere and you might like to add
them to the tables, or treat them as special missions (which can be chosen on a roll of
12
a 6 on the scenario table). If you wish to include them, remember to determine what
penalties and bonuses they will generate beforehand.

Definitions of bonuses.

Ah, you shall be rewarded.
The winner may, before deployment in the next battle, declare which of his troops
squads made the miraculous find. This squad will automatically succeed in one
morale or pinning test, determined after it is rolled.
A job well done.
1d3 troops squads may re-roll one morale or pinning test this battle.
Behind the lines.
Free roaming elements behind the enemy lines can disrupt their movements or
reinforce your army. Choose either inflict delayed or reinforcements.
Blaze away.
One randomly determined troops squad has raided the ammo cache. In the next game
only, they can operate without a care for ammo expenditure. This, in effect, allows
them to re-roll misses the first time they fire. Note that different armies may use
incompatible equipment, but for simplicities sake most will be able to utilize it in
some way even if Tyranids have to throw bolt guns at Marines.
Bluff.
Expert use of available terrain and subterfuge has enabled you to bluff your enemy.
One chosen elites squad may, after deployment, be removed from the table. It may
then be placed either in reserve (if that rule is in play), or replaced elsewhere in your
deployment zone more than 18" from any enemy. This may not be combined with any
other special deployment rule, such as infiltrate.
Booby trap!
An operative has succeeded in placing a booby trap at a tactically important location.
Place 3 numbered markers, the size of a small blast marker on the table, outside any
deployment zones. Write down which one is real, the others are decoys. See main
rulebook for details.
Capture.
Intelligence gained allows increased force to be applied to enemy weak points. If the
attacker wins he gains reinforcements. Individuals from alien armies (see definition,
later) may not be captured and ignore this.
Captured infrastructure.
The capture of strategic road junctions enables you to speed up your deployment. One
elites choice may, after deployment, but before the game starts, move up to 6", but
may not end this move within 18" of enemy models. This is not compatible with other
free moves, such as Tau Pathfinders.
Com-net break.
Enemy command codes and unit call signs have been appropriated/an inexplicable
failure of the hive mind has occurred. This has led to sabotage of/confusion within the
enemy command structure. One randomly determined troops choice must test against
pinning every move as they receive confusing orders (planted by the enemy) or weird
voices from the ether. Tyranid creatures in hive mind range must test vs. LD+2 (max
10) and if they fail they must act instinctively.
Darkness we bring.
You may choose to fight this battle in night fight conditions.

13
Deep strike.
One of your deep strike capable units may use this special rule even if the scenario
does not normally allow it.
Delayed.
Fifth columnists / Special Forces / lictors e.t.c. have been at work behind the enemy
lines. One randomly determined enemy vehicle (including transported troops), or
squad on table at the start of the game may be targeted. H.Q. and elites may not be
affected: they are far too determined to be waylaid. The squad / vehicle is removed
from play and may only return after a successful reserves roll is made. This event may
only occur if the enemy army has a deployment zone with a table edge.
Desecrators.
Before deployment, the defender should nominate one of his troop squads to be the
infamous desecrators. As soon as this unit is placed on the table (even if its in a
transport vehicle), the attacker must be informed of its identity. If it is destroyed, the
unit that inflicted the last wound will become avengers. See the bonus for the avenger
Disaster.
As a result of the incident, one randomly determined troops squad might have
suffered casualties. The squad takes 1D6 wounds, armour saves apply. If the unit was
in a transport vehicle it must take a difficult terrain test every time it moves or become
immobilised. If the unit takes 25% or more casualties, it will become delayed also.
Divine inspiration.
One upgraded character from the troops section of the army gains a 5+ invulnerable
save for this battle only. Note down which before deployment.
Fortification.
You have consolidated your gains carefully and are prepared for inevitable enemy
countermeasures. If, as an attacker, a counter attack is generated against you, you may
place D3 bunkers in your deployment zone. You may not do this if you are ambushed.
Freedom of movement.
The capture of territory allows heavy elements to be moved swiftly. One heavy
support selection may choose to deploy as an elites choice instead.
Fuel (lack of resources).
Control of the fuel dump has denied vital supplies to the enemy. One randomly
chosen enemy vehicle is dangerously low on fuel. It must take difficult terrain tests
every turn. Re-rolls, such as for dozer blades are of no use in this case.
Gargant.
An off table Gargant misfires and hits the table. The bom arrives after a successful
reserves roll, place the ordnance marker twelve inches out from the table edge at the
centre of the enemy deployment zone. It will then scatter 3D6". This however is a
one-shot weapon, str4 ap5 ordnance.
Heavy support.
Carefully marshalled artillery is available to pound the enemy position to soften them
up before you go in to finish them off. You may use the preliminary bombardment
rules against 1d3 troops choices and obstacles in this game. Note that this will alert
any sentries that may be on duty!
Hidden manoeuvres.
One chosen infiltrator capable squad has made use of the cover available to take up a
hidden position. In the following game, this squad may infiltrate even if this special
rule is not used. They may set up last, anywhere outside the enemy deployment zone,
more than 18" away from the enemy.

14
High ground.
Control of the ridge or other high ground has enabled you to set up observation posts
overlooking enemy positions. This advantage allows you to better site artillery and
other support. You may re-roll 1D6 dice in a preliminary bombardment if applicable.
Also, you may make lightning attacks that catch the enemy off guard. In this case, you
may add +1 to your who goes first roll.
Infiltrate.
One of your infiltrate capable units may use this special rule even if the scenario does
not normally allow it. They may set up last, anywhere on the table more than 18"
away from the enemy.
Intelligence.
Intelligence has come through identifying weak spots in the enemy line. You may add
+1 to your who goes first roll.
Its stopped again.
One randomly chosen vehicle (except da bosses wagon) must take difficult terrain
tests every time it moves.
Joy!
Should you win this battle you may commemorate your success with great ceremony
and rejoicing. This can take many forms but results in the creation of a holy or
despised object. This functions as a trophy (see below) except when in an assault, all
adversaries fighting over it become fearless.
Look to the banners.
The winner of this battle gains x2 reinforcements in the next.
Losses.
A stinging defeat has weakened your army. Your army points limit (but not your
opponents) is lowered for the next battle. Type 1 battles incur a 20 pnt penalty, type
2 -25 and type 3 -30. Some defeats are so costly; a multiple of this number will be
applied.
My underlings are failing me.
One randomly selected troops squad suffers from 1Ld.
Outmanoeuvre.
Recon elements have pushed aside enemy forces and scattered them. Their defensive
line is now disorganised. Taking advantage of this confusion, you are better able to
pick your ground in the following engagement. You may add +1 to your choose table
edge roll if applicable.
Patrol.
Aggressive patrolling has allowed you to push elements deeper into enemy territory.
After deployment, but before the battle begins, one of your troops or elite squads may
move up to 6" but may not come within 18" of the enemy.
Plastered!
One randomly selected nob in a troops choice squad gains +1D3 attacks when he
first charges instead of the normal +1.
Recon.
Information gained on enemy dispositions allows you to plan your attack thoroughly.
You may add +1 to your choose table edge roll if appropriate.
Recovery.
If the attacker wins, one randomly determined troops squad successfully locates and
recovers their dead comrades. In the next battle they become inspired and gain +1Ld
(up to max 10) and are never considered to be outnumbered in assault.

15
Reinforcements.
You have marshalled your forces in order to outnumber the enemy in the
forthcoming engagement. Your army points limit (but not your opponents) is raised
for the next battle. See losses for details.
Resupply.
The timely capture of stockpiles of equipment in the city enables you to make use of
the fortify bonus. Also, you may benefit from blaze away or inflict lack of
resources (fuel) on your foe.
Rousing speech.
A great success / inspiring act of bravery / quality genetic stock, adds impetus to your
efforts. 1D3 troop squads are at +1 LD (max of 10) for the next game.
Sabotaged!
One randomly determined enemy vehicle has been sabotaged. Every time it moves, it
must take a difficult terrain test (no re-rolls) or become immobilised. In the case of
Tyranids or Necrons 1d3 randomly chosen multiple wound creatures have been hit by
sniper fire. They begin the game at -1 wound.
Set back.
Some disaster has overcome your force (farce). Your commander may have a cold
and is performing poorly, the omens are dire or your termagants are made of bunny
rabbits. Whatever the case, 1D3 of your troops squads are at -1 LD in the next battle.
Slaughter the ignorant.
You may add +1 to your choose table edge roll if appropriate.
Speedsta!
All vehicles gain +1" to their movement as if they had a red paint job. Not cumulative
with the vehicle upgrade of the same name.
Tactical opportunity, ambush.
Our recon units / spies / orbital support, tell us of an enemy column about to push on
through this region. We will destroy them. The attacker may choose to ignore the
scenario rolled and fight an ambush mission instead.
Tactical opportunity, drop zone.
If we can just win this battle, we can force the foe from the best drop zone in the
region. The winner gets to re-roll one reserves roll in the next game that uses this rule.
The avenger.
Before deployment, the defender should nominate one of his troop squads to be the
infamous murderers / objects for the enemys hatred. See desecrators, above for rules.
However, in this case, the successful avengers gain the preferred enemy special rule
(hit all enemies except vehicles and monstrous creatures on a 3+) for the rest of the
battle.
Triumph.
If the attacker wins, he gains reinforcements. If he loses, he suffers losses. Alien
armies ignore this result.
Trophies.
Should you win this battle you will capture an item of enemy war gear. This may be a
librarians force rod, a hive tyrants head or whatever. This object is a vital
psychological tool. It may be carried by any independent character, upgraded squad
member, icon / standard-bearer or any multiple wound creatures. It gives no attack
bonuses but may change hands during battle in the same way as a sacred standard.
Whoever retains it at the end of the battle gains +1 campaign point. Tyranids do not
benefit from this; they dont care, though their enemies do.

16
Trouble and strife.
One randomly selected upgraded character (such as a vet sarge or nob) has been killed
before the battle. Begin with troops choices. If none are present, move on to fast
attack, heavy support, elites and then H.Q. Independent characters may not be
eliminated in this way.
Unexpected.
The enemy have launched an unexpected pincer movement to cut your lines of
supply. The winner of this game may inflict a delayed penalty on the foe.
War gear.
See trophies.
We adapt.
One chosen troops squad gains a 6+ cover save if it remains stationary.
We iz da best!
All troops choices count as having one more boy for all waagh and mob size tests.
We respond.
One chosen troops squad may re-roll morale tests.
