Prepared Defense

Defensive Mission

Briefing

A force must hold a pre-established line of resistance against a determined enemy assault.

Deployment & Setup

Place 3 objective points (on the blue deployment boundaries) as shown on the deployment map. Blue player deploys all units first.

Scoring

Starting at the beginning of Round 3, players score victory points for each objective point they control during the End Phase. The Red player scores 2 VP per objective, while the Blue player scores 1 VP per objective.

Deployment Map

Strategic Objective: Secure or maintain control of three objectives positioned on the defender's deployment boundary to accumulate Victory Points starting in Round 3.

Strategy Tips: The Blue player is the defender and is required to deploy their entire force first. Because scoring does not begin until the End of Round 3, Blue should use the initial rounds to position units and use the Dig-In action to prepare for the engagement. The Red player, as the attacker, should utilize their reactive deployment and two separate zones to identify and target the least-defended objectives. With a 2 VP per objective scoring advantage, the Red player must focus on displacing Blue units before the third round ends. Victory for Blue depends on establishing a wide defense that can withstand a concentrated attack on specific points, while Red must use their tactical flexibility to avoid Blue's strongest concentrations and seize a majority of the objectives.
