Unicon 2010 Scenario Pack

Unicon 2010
Scenario Pack
By Travis and Jeremy

This scenario pack explains in detail the scenarios that will be used in the 2010
Unicon tournament. The scenario pack is divided into two sections. The first section
deals with common scenario specific rules that will be in effect in this tournament.
The second section provides the four scenarios the will be used in the Conquest
tournament.
If you have any questions about these scenarios please contact the Tournament
Organiser (Travis) as soon as possible.

Common Scenario Specific Rules

Objective Markers
Each player must bring 2 objective markers to Conquest.
These object markers must be circular with a diameter of between 40-60mm.
We would recommend using Games Workshop cavalry or monster bases, but players
are welcome to create their own. The objective markers should be decorated in a way
the suits your army and will be included as part of the army for the purposes of
painting scores and best army voting.

Objective Marker Rules

 Objective markers count as impassable terrain. This means that models may
not move over the objective marker for any reason.
 Objective markers do not block a „models eye view‟ (see rulebook page 16).
Even if an objective marker is modelled is such a way that obscures the view
of one model to another, both models are assumed to be able to see each other.
 If a model chooses to shoot through an objective marker, the objective marker
will count as “in the way” of the target (see rulebook page 24).
 Objective markers are a new type of terrain. They may never be placed on any
other terrain types except hills.
 Objective markers must be set up no closer than 6” from any board edge.
 Objective markers may not be placed within 12” of another objective marker.
See the section below for the full method of placing objective markers.

Placing Objective Markers

Some scenarios require players to “place objective markers” before a game. This
happens after terrain has been set, but before either player has chosen a board edge or
deployed any models.
Objective markers are must be placed using the steps listed below. Note that 4th,
5 and 6th dot point in the objective marker rules (above) apply to placing objective
th

markers.
 Both players roll a six sided die (D6). The player with the highest die roll (re-
roll the dice if there is a tie) is called Player A. The Player with the lowest
dice roll is called Player B.

 Player A places one of their own objective markers on the board following the
usual restrictions (in the objective marker rules section)
 Player B places one of their own objective markers.
 Player A places Player B‟s final objective marker.
 Player B places Player A‟s final objective marker.
 Both players must check the all objectives are placed legally (not placed on
terrain except hill; no closer than 6” to a board edge; no closer than 12” to any
other objective).
 If there is not enough legal places to place objectives markers, players must
call the umpire to move the terrain in order to allow for legal placement.

This means that both players would have placed one of their own objective
markers, and one of their opponents.

Capturing Objective Markers

Some scenarios require players to capture objective markers. Here are the
rules for capturing objectives:
 To capture an objective marker you must have more models with their base
fully within 3” of the marker
 An objective marker is considered to be unclaimed if no models have their
base fully within 3” of the objective marker.
 Models that have a base larger than 3” (Mumakil, Dragons) can still capture an
objective by being in base contact with the objective marker.
 If a model loses combat within 3” of an objective marker, model must move
1” directly away from the objective marker. If the model cannot complete this
move, it will count as being trapped. Note that models on the winning side do
not have to move to create separation as this may move them away from the
objective.

Leaving the Board

 Models may not voluntarily leave the board unless it specifically says so in the
scenario.
 A model is considered to have left the board if they come into contact with the
opposing player‟s board edge as a part of their movement.
 Models that have left the board voluntarily are to be placed to one side so that
they can be used to calculate the results of the game.
 Models that have left the board do not count being killed. They are treated as
being alive at the end of the game, but may not return to the game for any
reason.
 A force is considered Broken when there is 50% or less of their models
remaining on the board. Be careful about how many models leave the board
voluntarily as this may force you to take courage tests for being Broken.

Leaders
Each player must nominate a leader for their army.
See Legions of Middle-Earth pages 4-5 for rules about nominating leaders.
Leaders must be chosen when a player submits an army list, not before each game.
Make sure that you tell your opponent who your hero is before a game, as this model
can have special rules depending on the scenario.

Primary and Secondary Objectives

In the following four scenarios, each player has a primary and a secondary
objective. To gain the maximum points in a scenario, a player must complete both
their objectives and stop their opponent achieving either.
There are 20 points available for each scenario. A player scores 7 points for
completing their primary objective and 7 points for preventing their opponent from
completing their primary objective. A player can also get 3 points for completing their
secondary objective and 3 points for preventing their opponent from completing their
secondary objective.

Scoring
Use the following chart to determine the number of points each player will earn
during the game:

Player 1 Player 2 Player 1 Player 2 Result

Scenario 1: Break Through

Description: Two scouting patrols have met in neutral ground. You must send a vital
message pass enemy lines while preserving as much of your own force as possible.

ask an umpire to „shuffle‟ the terrain on the table for them. This must be done before
any dice are rolled for starting positions.

Layout (Objective Markers): Objective markers will not be used in this scenario.

Starting Positions:
 Roll a die to see which player sets up first.
 The player with the highest roll picks any table edge and deploys their entire
force within 6” of the chosen table edge.
 The player with the lowest roll then deploys their entire force within 6” of the
table edge directly opposite the player that deployed first.

Primary Objective: Get more models off your opponent’s board edge than your
opponent.
 Players are trying to get their models off their opponent‟s board edge.
 Refer to the rules on leaving the board on page 2 of this scenario pack.
 To achieve this objective, a player must either have equal or more models
leave the table voluntarily than their opponent. Models can only leave via their
opponent‟s board edge.
 Leaders can as 3 models if they voluntarily leave the board.
 If neither player has models that have voluntarily left the board, then neither
player has achieved this objective.

Secondary Objective: Kill 50% or more of your opponent’s force.

 You will achieve this objective if 50% or more of your opponents force has
either been killed or has fled the battlefield due to a failed courage test.
 Models that have left the board voluntarily do not count as killed.

normal.

Primary and Secondary Objectives:

 After both players have chosen a table edge, but before the first turn, both
players secretly roll 2 dice (one dark die and one light die) and consult the
secret objective table below. These are your 2 objectives for the game.

Scenario 3: Raid at Dusk

Description: The objective is simple. Hit your opponent as hard as you can as
quickly as you can before it gets dark.
