Battle for Stones River 2014 Scenario Six

The Battlefield

Use deployment map: Hammer and Anvil (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.  Players roll off.  The winner may choose to deploy 1st or 2nd.  Player deploying 1st deploys their entire force except infiltrators and those units held in reserve.  The player deploying 1st also takes 1st turn unless the opposing player can steal the initiative.

Victory Conditions

This scenario is won by completing the following objectives.  Players earn points for each objective.  These points are called Battle Points.  These are the totals that are placed on player score sheets.

Objectives

Secondary (5 Battle Points) Hold the bridge… the player that holds the bridge at the end of the game with the majority of a scoring unit without an enemy unit contesting, earns the objective.
