Scenario - Stagecoach Ambush

Terrain​

  • The table should be divided into two halves by a road, at least 6" wide.

Deployment​

  • No warband may set up along the table edge where the stagecoach begins.
  • Four warbands present:
    • The first two deploy within 12" of the corners furthest from the stagecoach's starting edge.
    • The remaining two deploy along the table edges parallel to the road, no closer than 12" to an enemy.

Special Rules​

  • The stagecoach and its guards start the game on the road, no more than 6" from the table edge.
  • There are two guardsmen per attacking warband.
  • The stagecoach retinue takes its turn after the last player warband.
  • Each turn, the stagecoach moves 7" forward along the road, unless blocked.
  • Guardsmen:
    • Stay with the coach.
    • Charge any warriors blocking the road.
    • Prioritize the closest target, but try to spread attacks among all enemies in the way.
