Imperial Armour

SCENARIO 12 - DISASTER AT 61-47 Warhammer 40,000 Apocalype The Battle The crash landing of the heavy transport Aharon's Bane unleashed a huge horde of degenerate Chaos worshippers: mutants, beastmen, pirates and other sub-human scum - the dregs of humanity, all seeking to gain plunder and the favour of their masters. Worst still, behind them followed the Traitor Titans of Legio Vulcanum. From the crash site this rag-tag army, directed by the Chaos Space Marine warbands, rampaged south, threatening the rear of the 88th siege army's lines. The 101 st Krieg regiment was quickly dispatched from the army's reserve to intercept the new threat. Led by the tanks of 11th assault korps and supported by Titan-hunting superheavy tanks, the Krieg forces engaged the enemy in sector 6147 in a day long tank battle. The Wargame Play this game on as large a table as you can manage. Set up the terrain as shown on the map. It is generally open with scattered rocks and craters, and a few low hills. Use the Apocalypse scenario to deploy the forces, as described in the Apocalypse book. If he wishes, the Chaos player may deploy his aircraft on the table instead of leaving them in Strategic Reserve. Special Rules The Attacker gets the following Strategic Assets: Strategic Re-deployment The Defender gets the following Strategic Assets: Camouflage, Flank March Objectives Use the Apocalypse scenario to place objective markers. These provide nothing more than a grid reference on a map, and so can be placed anywhere on the table.
