2015 storm primer missions

Primer Mission Guidelines

Every mission has a total of 10 possible Battle Points that can be

earned.

Battle points are earned from a Primary worth 4 Battle Points, a

Secondary worth 3 Battle Points and three Bonus Points each worth

1 Battle Point.

If you do not have a Lord of War and your opponent does, then you

gain a +1 to Seize the Initiative.

Every 3 Hull points removed from a Lord of War Super Heavy and

every 3 wounds removed from a Lord of War Gargantuan Creature

provide 1 extra VP to the Secondary.

Any VPs earned via special rules and warlord traits apply only to the

Secondary.

Whichever player has the most Battle Points wins their game. Equal

Battle points is a draw.

If you are placing a Fortification and terrain becomes an issue you

may remove one piece of terrain that is wholly within your side of

the table in order to place your Fortification. If that does not solve

the issue then ask an impartial judge or work out a reasonable

solution with your opponent.

Fortifications may not be placed in an abusive manner (e.g. cannot

be placed over objectives, or in a way which makes it impossible to

reach parts of the table).

Mysterious objectives, Night Fighting, Reserves and Random Game

Length are in use in all missions

LVO/BAO Veterans: There are missions that are identical to LVO

2015 and some which are not. Please read carefully and do not

assume the mission is the same as LVO.

Any feedback on the missions, typos and clarifications that are

needed is appreciated!

Note: The actual missions used at the event are subject to change.

Order of Operations

1. Adjust and define terrain with your opponent. There should be a

roughly symmetrical distribution of terrain on the table.

2. If applicable, determine the corners being used for Vanguard Strike,

either by agreement or a roll off between opponents.

3. If the mission calls for pre-deployment objective placement than do

so now following mission instructions. Roll-off if needed to

determine who places first.

4. Generate Psychic powers and other codex specific pre-deployment

determinations (Gifts, allocation of characters, etc).

5. Roll-off for deployment zones.

6. If the mission calls for mid-deployment objective placement then do

so now following mission instructions. Start with the player who

won the roll-off to pick sides.

7. Roll for Warlord traits if applicable. The Tactical Traits are not

available in these missions. If your opponent has a Super Heavy or

Gargantuan LoW then you may roll on the Escalation Warlord table.

8. Roll for Night Fighting

9. Roll for first turn. The player that wins the roll can choose to go first

or second. The player going first then deploys first and goes first

unless the other player seizes the initiative.

a. If you do not have a Lord of War and your opponent does,

then you gain a +1 to Seize the Initiative.

10. Play the game.

11. Game ends based on Random Length Rules.

12. Determine who wins the Primary and who wins the Secondary and

tally up bonus points.

13. Victory is determined based on the Battle Points earned.
