This page is a work-in-progress, but you can help finish it! Send a pull request!

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 favour of the evil forces aligned against them. That is until their sensors began picking up traces of nearby Eldar ships...

FORCES

FIRST TURN

Agree a points limit for the battle.

The attacker rolls 2D6 and the defender rolls a D6. High roll chooses who goes first.

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

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
