ABADDON’S 13 TH BLACK CRUSADE
SCENARIO THREE: ALIEN INTERVENTION
A Chaos fleet thought to have abandoned the sector of Chinchare is instead found raiding a space hulk orbiting Van Sele's World. Once this
news reached Imperial command, a force was quickly gathered in an attempt to surprise the traitors and crush them. However this was
not to be. Imperial scouts were spotted by the Chaos fleet. The Forces of Order now sped into a trap they know nothing about and all seems
to be in favor of the evil forces aligned against them. That is until their sensors began picking up traces of nearby Eldar ships...
FORCES
Agree a points limit for the battle.
Forces of Disorder: This player is the attacker. They may spend up to the
agreed points limit in total on their fleet.
Forces of Order: This player is the defender. They may spend up to 75%
of the agreed points limit on their fleet. The remaining 25% of this force is
chosen from the Eldar list as reinforcements. This is a great opportunity to
get a friend to join you and play the separate Eldar fleet along with you.
BATTLEZONE
Set up a 6’ (180 cm) x 4’ (120 cm) table with whatever celestial terrain you
wish, except that you must include one planet and a drifting hulk
anywhere within 30cm of the table centre.
SET-UP
1) The defender deploys his whole fleet first. The defending fleet must be
set up within 30cm of the table centre line.
2) Each defending ship or squadron must be set up at least 10cm apart and
facing in the same direction.
3) The attacker sets up all his ships within 20cm of either short table edge.
FIRST TURN
The attacker rolls 2D6 and the defender rolls a D6. High roll chooses who
goes first.
SPECIAL RULES
Eldar Reinforcements: The Eldar, fickle as they are, arrive as
reinforcements randomly. Roll a D6 at the start of the Forces of Order
player's 2nd turn and consult the chart below:
TURN NUMBER 2 3 4 5 6
Eldar fleet arrives on... 4+ 3+ 2+ 2+ Auto
When the Eldar arrive, the entire fleet enters play from one of the long
table edges.
GAME LENGTH
The game continues for eight turns, or until one fleet is left on the table.
VICTORY CONDITIONS
Both fleets score victory points as normal and the side with the highest
victory points total at the end of the battle wins.
