This is phrased marc eloquent ly than our version. which

revolves around the words "balance schmalance". Perhaps
more importantly, it's true. Lots of t he Skirmish scenarios
that follow in this booklet arc evocative, illleresting, and
particularly hard to win. This isn't a mistake in the cre:uion

SPECIAL RULES
level One Wiz.anl. mounted on " warhorse (10 piS) This scenario uses the special rules detailed below:
fQg - Due to the swirling fog and limited visibility, all
The Trolls: Movement values should be counted as half (including
charging, running. shooting. etc.).
Dumb CreaHlre:; of Habh - The Trolls under the bridge
have become so practiced and cunning at wking out
wayfarers that when a Troll is within 6" of the bridge it is
allowed to take SlIIpidiry tests at double their normal
Leadership (all the way up to 8!). Familiarity and practice
m;lkes them smarter!
All Alone - Trolls are used to being all alone, and so may
ignore this rule. Who would be friends with a Troll?
nOllt 'Ibls - Again. Trolls will ignore all routing and fleeing
- such is their hunger. they will fight and claw to the cnd.
Sir DuClaw and the L1dy Genevievc arc both Immune to
Hauling. As long as onc of the characters remains alive, the
men-:tt·anns arc immune to routing. Note they still suffer
from Fl'ar and All A/ouc rules.
BATTLEFIELD Enchantress Spell - Lady Genevieve must randomly select

a road, a river cutting across the playing area, and a bridge
within 6" of the southern bO;lrd edge. See the map at
bottom right for layout.

OBJECTIVES
The goal of the Uretonnians is to get off the northern board
edge. They will claim victory if both Sir DuClaw and
Gene"ieve escape off the northern edge. the men'at-amls
arc expendable (a sad. but true story) .
The Trolls' objecth'e is easy: they arc particularly hungry
and want to put OUl of action as many of the humans as
possible, in order to later drag them down to their w;ltery
caves and feast on them. Trolls may claim victory if they
ha"e eaten at least o,'er half of the Bretonnian party'S tolal.
If both sides or neither meet viclOry conditions, the game
is a draw.

BUILDING LOG BRIDGES

.. The easiest way co give your bridges the look and
feel of real wood is co use real wood! Whittle the
ends of each stick using small CutS 10 keep it in sC"J.le.
Keep in mind the size of the axcs that would be used
on the trees these bridges are made of.

... Use some thin wire to bind the sticks together.

Wrap the wire around each stick as well as around
the complete bundle for stability. When you've
finished. tuck in the cnd and apply a drop of super
glue to secure the whole thing in place.

.. Once assembled, undercoat the completed

bridge with Citadel Colour Black Primer spray, then
drybrush the wood with progrcssively lighter coats
