Vegas Crusade – Mission Packet

 

Never tell me the odds! Welcome to the first Field of Fire Gaming tournaments for the 2018 Season. With the upcoming ITC GT: LVO, we’re kicking things off at full speed. Below you will find the missions taken from the ITC Championship packet. Each mission consists of a Primary Objective (scored Progressively), and unique Secondary Objectives. Objectives tokens are fixed as indicated.

 

Pre-Game Procedure:

1. Exchange lists with Opponents
2. Place Mission Objectives (see mission for locations)
3. Choose/Roll Warlord Traits, Psychic Powers, etc
4. Roll off to determine Deployment: Winner rolls for standard deployment type (p.216-217); The loser choses deployment zone
5. The player who rolled for deployment deploys the first unit; Alternate deploying units until both armies are deployed. The player who finishes deployment first gains +1 to determine first turn.
6. Roll for First Turn.
7. Deploy Infiltrators (“At Beginning of First Battle Round, before First Turn” style deployments)
8. Roll Seize the Initiative
9. Shake hands and have fun!

Per most recent FAQ, Command Re-Roll may NOT be used for any of these rolls.

 

NOTE: The following “Beta Rules” are in play:

1. Character Targeting: An enemy Character with a Wounds characteristic of less than 10 can only be chosen as a target in the Shooting phase if it is both visible to the firing model and it is the closest enemy unit to the firing model. Ignore other enemy Characters with a Wounds characteristics of less than 10 when determining if the target is the closest enemy unit to the firing model.
2. Psychic Focus: With the exception of Smite, each psychic power can be attempted only once per turn, rather than once per psyker per turn. In addition, subtract 1 from the result of any psychic test taken when attempting to manifest Smite for each other attempt (whether successful or not) that has been made to manifest Smite during this Psychic phase.

Players should take careful note that tabling your opponent does not automatically score maximum points for the mission. Concession also does not automatically award max points to the victor!

Example: One enemy Titanic model loses 4 wounds turn 1, and a different enemy Titanic unit loses 12 wounds turn 2 for a total of 16 wounds lost in total to enemy Titanic models. You earn 2pts towards this objective.

Death by a Thousand Cuts: Earn 1 point for every 3 enemy units destroyed in a Battle Round.

Example: 5 enemy units are destroyed in the first Battle Round, you earn 1pt towards this mission. In the second Battle Round, 7 enemy units are destroyed and you earn 2 pts towards this objective.
