The River Stir runs through the centre of Mordheim, it's polluted and acidic waters

proving an impregnable barrier for warbands attempting to cross to the other side of

the city. Most warbands are happy in their own side of Mordheim, but occasionally,

the need to venture over the river arises- generally due to rumors of a wyrdstone

deposit or some hidden jewel. If this happens, the warband will head to the nearest

bridge (although there aren't that many remaining intact) and hope to pass to the

other side before any opposing warbands hear of the riches. There are many a

warband eager to block an enemy's attempts to cross the river stir!

Scenario 082 - The Bridge

Terrain

Place a river through the centre of the battlefield, with a bridge- preferably wooden,

over it at some point. Apart from this, each player takes turns in placing a single

piece of terrain on the board. The battle should be fought on a roughly 4x4 area.

Set-Up

The battle takes place with two warbands, although it could probably be adapted to

multiplayer. The warband with the lower warband rating is the defender. The

defending player starts the game with D6+3 randomly determined warband

members missing. If this brings the number of members below 1, then the leader, or

if he/she is not available, the hero with the most experience points is placed on the

table. On a roll of 5+ on the defender's second turn, 4+, 3+, 2+ and 1+ on

subsequent turns the player may bring D3+1 reinforcements of his choice onto the

board, which are placed in the normal defender's deployment zone. The

reinforcements may not perform any actions in the turn they arrive, unless they are

placed in combat, in which case they count as charging. Each player sets up on an

opposite table edge, each on one side of the river. All warband members must set up

within 8" of their board edge.

Special Rules

The Bridge : The bridge may be attacked in close combat as normal (although all

attacks hit automatically), unless the attacking warrior is already in combat with an

enemy, in which case he defends himself as normal. Shooting attacks gain an +1 to

hit modifier when shooting at the bridge, as it is a large target. The bridge has a

toughness of 5 and 5 wounds. Crossing the bridge, or flying over in special

circumstances, is the only way to enter the other side of Mordheim, as the water is

so acidic - warriors may not swim across using a special skill, or even if they are

aquatic.

If the bridge is destroyed while there are warriors on it, then those warriors must

pass an initiative test to jump to the nearest riverbank, or be taken out of action. If a

warband is split up, i.e. - 6 warriors on one side of the river, 8 on the other, the side

which has no leader must take a rout test. If they pass, they may stay on that side

and aid support through shooting. These warriors will search for wyrdstone, look for

special characters etc. as normal, and will be reunited with the rest of the warband in

time for the next battle.

Starting the Game

The Attacker has the first turn.

Ending the Game

The battle ends when one warband fails a rout test, in which case the routing

warband loses, when one warband is completely wiped out, OR, if the bridge is

destroyed before any of the attacking warband crosses it, then the attacking

warband automatically loses. If a warband is completely destroyed, with all members

out of action, the result is self-explanatory.

Experience

+5 Survives: If a Hero or Henchman group survives the battle they gain +5

Experience.

+5 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +5 Experience.

+1 Per Enemy Out Of Action: Any Hero earns +1 experience for each enemy he puts

Out Of Action.

+1 Crossing The Bridge: If a Hero or Henchman group crosses the bridge they gain

+1 Experience.

+2 Destroying The Bridge: If a Hero or Henchman group destroys the bridge they

gain +2 Experience.
