Meeting Engagement

Maneuver Mission

Briefing

An accidental encounter where two forces must scramble to secure a foothold before the enemy can consolidate.

Deployment & Setup

Place 3 objective points on the diagonal line as shown on the deployment map. Players alternate deploying units one at a time, starting with the Red player.

Scoring

During each End Phase, players score 1 victory point for each objective point they control. If a player controls the objective point farthest from their deployment zone, they score 2 VP instead of 1.

Special Rules

During Round 1, all units increase their Move speed by 2" but suffer a +1 to-hit penalty to all ranged attacks.

Deployment Map

Strategic Objective: Secure three objectives along a diagonal axis during an accidental encounter, with a scoring priority on points deep in enemy territory.

Strategy Tips: Round 1 is the most critical phase for positioning due to the universal +2" Move speed bonus. Players should leverage this enhanced mobility to aggressively contest the objective point farthest from their deployment zone, as it provides a double Victory Point (2 VP) bonus. Because all ranged attacks suffer a +1 to-hit penalty during the first round, players should prioritize the Dash action and positional scrambling over trading fire, as offensive efficiency is statistically lower. Since deployment is alternating, players must balance their force between seizing the high-value far objective and establishing a sufficient defense on the points nearest their own lines to deny the opponent easy scoring.
