During battle over critical data for Siege of Terran in Golarion III intel was revealed leading to Feudal World of Britannica containing relics from the Old Night. Desperate for every advantage, loyalists assemble a strike force to evacuate the critical assets from the academic city of Yorkspire with traitors in hot pursuit. Combat ensues in the streets and orbital plates in mad scramble for ancient artefacts.

Loput eventpackista :)

Before the game:

1.Determine Zone Mortalis Terrain.

2. Designate ceilings: a. Roll a d3-1: this is the number of areas on the table that have either no ceiling or a ceiling high enough to allow the use of jump packs and similar wargear. Players should agree on which areas of the table are like this. Note: It is possible that no areas are high enough.

3. Designate access points: Players decide on 2 areas on each side of the table (4 sides and 8 access points in total) as access points. An access point can be marked with a marker, or it can be some suitable entryway.

4. Place objectives: Roll off; the player rolling highest places the first objective (mission 1).

5. Strategic advantage: Roll off; the player scoring highest gets the strategic advantage and must take the first turn unless the other player succeeds in first strike (bullet point 10).
Traitors get +1 to this roll in mission 1.
Traitors automatically get the strategic advantage in game 3 and will be the attacker.

6. Choose deployment zone: the player without the strategic advantage chooses their preferred deployment zone.

7. Deploy armies: use the rules from page 186 of the Siege of Cthonia book.

8. Units that can infiltrate may do so.

9. Scout moves.

10. First strike: use the rules from page 186 of the Siege of Cthonia book, except that the first strike is successful on a d6 roll of 6+.

11. Begin the game and good luck!
