Campaign Rules

Campaign is played on a map with defined Provinces.

Armies must be Battleforged.

Campaign has an agreed points limit for the army. Points limit is modified after each battle. While
units may chance from battle to battle, the points limit remains the same for the army from the end
of the previous battle. Armies gain and loose points along the following lines:

*Win a battle: +D6x10.

*Loose a battle: -D3x10.

*Tied battle: +D3x10.

Differences in Points Values

In the event of differences in points values, the player with the lesser value may take a Mercenary
Detachment of points value equal to the difference. Mercenary Detachments function as any
number of Troops of the hiring army’s faction, up to 2 HQ and up to 3 of any other unit type (except
Lords of War, which are banned for Mercenaries). Mercenaries have the following Special Rules:

*All units within a Mercenary Detachment have the Mercenary Faction Key Word. This Key Word
replaces all others on their Datasheet.

*Mercenaries cannot use any special rules or abilities that are not listed on their Datasheet.

*Mercenary units operate at -2 leadership unless the hiring army pays additional points equal to the
unit’s power rating.

Campaign Rounds
At the start of the campaign, each player rolls a die to determine with the highest acting first
(followed by the next highest and so forth). On their turn, the acting player chooses a location
adjacent to one of their own Provinces that is controlled by an opponent or in No Man’s Land (i.e.
not controlled by any player). At the end of the battle the acting player has control of the province if
they are the victor.

If neither the acting player nor the province’s owner won the battle, then the victor may attempt to
take control of the province as if it were No Man’s Land. If no victorious player controls the province
at the end of the round, the province becomes No Man’s Land.

No Man’s Land

At the end of the battle, a player may attempt to take control of any provinces in No Man’s Land
adjacent to their own so long as it is not also adjacent to an opposing player. To do so the player
must roll a die, gaining the province on a 6+. The player may add +1 to the roll if they won the battle
this game, and +1 if they fought a battle at or adjacent to this province.

Experience

At the end of the round, apply experience to each unit based on their performance in the battle.
Kill Team Espionage
Each round, the player whose turn it is next may engage in espionage. Follow the Kill Team rules (all
Kill Team missions are played at 250 points) and rolling to choose which mission is played. The player

Kill Team Experience

Kill Team members gain experience as normal (with each model counting as a unit). This experience

the model is killed on a mission, the new recruit carries none of the previous members experience
but the team is otherwise unaffected.
