Warhammer Fantasy Battle

The Hero's small warband encounters a Chaos raiding force unexpectedly. Neither side was prepared for battle, and elements of both forces are still arriving when the fighting begins.

Deployment

Chaos deploys their General and any unit the General is within first, then rolls for remaining units as per the Meeting Engagement scenario. The Hero (and the unit he is with, if not solo) must then deploy, then rolls for each additional unit to see which are kept in reserve.

Result

Victory — The Enemy Flees or is Destroyed

The Chaos vanguard is broken. The Hero immediately gives chase, determined to destroy the enemy before it can regroup.

Draw — An Uneasy Night (Both survive 6 turns)

Neither army can claim the field. Both forces withdraw as darkness falls. During the night reinforcements arrive, and at first light the two armies prepare to settle the matter.

Loss — Driven Back

The warband is defeated and forced to retreat. The survivors take refuge in an isolated watchtower and prepare to defend themselves against the pursuing Chaos force.
