Scenario Pack #1

Scenario Packs add new ways to play the Chronicles of Blood war game. This pack contains two
scenarios, Black Vein River and Woodland Skirmish. Please make sure you read the scenarios carefully.

Black Vein River

In the north of Arax lies the blood-stained waters of the
Black Vein River. Flowing from a large lake within the
Greatwood to the shores of the Sea of Thunder, the
Black Vein River has seen many battles take place on
its banks. It is an important strategic area for both
invading armies and the more civilized realms. The
river is wide and crossings are few. Therefore, when an
army invades, controlling the crossings is vitally
important.
Setup
Begin setting up the battlefield as normal, on a 120cm
by 120cm square table. Place terrain as you see fit,
with the only requirement being that a river must run
from one side of the battlefield to the other. There must
also be three crossings on the river (the crossings may
be either bridges or shallower areas of the river). The
crossings should be placed at least 20cm apart.
The armies deploy as normal, one on one side of the
river and one on the other.
battle. Therefore, when an enemy regiment activates
and moves, roll a d6. On a 1-4, the regiment moves
towards the closest river crossing. On a 5-6, the
regiment moves towards the closest enemy.
If one of your regiments is within charge distance of an
enemy regiment, do not roll; instead the enemy
regiment automatically moves towards it.
Moving across the river is done at half Speed, unless
the regiment uses a crossing, in which case the Speed
of the regiment is unaffected.
A regiment that fights a battle while standing in the
river (except on a crossing) suffers a -2 penalty to their
Fight stat.
Winning the Game
At the end of five turns each, add up Victory Points as
normal for regiments that have been removed from the
battlefield.

In addition, each army earns an additional 5 Victory

Playing the Scenario
There are a few minor adjustments to playing the game
that need to be taken into account for this scenario.
Firstly, the river crossings are important objectives and
controlling these will go a long way to winning the
Points for each river crossing they control. An army
controls a river crossing if they have more regiments
within 10cm of a crossing than the enemy do. If there
are an equal amount of regiments, add up the points
value of these regiments, with the highest total
counting as controlling the crossing.

Greatwood, home of the elven people. the Skirmish rule if you do this.

Forests provide strategic resources for armies, the wood

being useful for creating engines of war and siege
equipment. Many battles are therefore fought over
woodland areas, especially in the Greatwood; many
armies invade the elven homeland, though they are
met with great resistance.
Battles that take place in these wooded areas are
fought rather differently, for the trees and undergrowth
prevent regiments from forming up properly.
Playing the Scenario
This game takes place over 8 turns instead of 5.
Because the entire battlefield is considered to be
woodland, regiments move at half pace unless they
were given the Skirmish special rule, in which case
they move at normal Speed.
In addition, the Archery rule is affected by the woods.
