Battle for Stones River 2013: Scenario Four
“God-Emperor? Calling him a god was how all this mess started.”
The Battlefield
Use deployment map: Dawn of War (page 119) and setup any player owned fortifications. Players cannot move terrain to make room for fortifications. Prior to deployment of forces, roll for Warlord Traits and Psychic Powers accordingly.
Special Deployment: Players spilt their army into two even groups, leaving out infiltrators and units held in reserve Players roll off. The winner may choose to deploy 1st or 2nd. The players alternate deploying their two groups and then deploy infiltrators. The player deploying 1st also takes 1st turn unless the opposing player can steal the initiative.
After deployment, players place a single objective inside their opponent’s side of the river that must be more than 6” from the river’s edge. The player who deployed first deploys their objective first.
