Join us as we take a tour to see what’s new in Chapter Approved! In the case where it’s clear that you’re going to get no help from your opponent in creating a balance between possible deployment zones, I would recommend you do the following: Obviously if there’s particularly good terrain to hide an objective in/near you can modify the exact placement slightly, we’ll discuss why these distances have been picked in a second and you can use that to guide whether a given placement will owrk.
You might want to put Troops onto one objective just to force the opponent to commit to taking two (or at least getting rid of your models) and this can become a powerful option if you have some sort of ability to stop them being targeted or take their hits (one wouldn’t use Drones to protect Fire Warriors but here it might be worth it). As it is, in extreme cases it’s possible to be in a situation where you table your opponent on turn three but cannot win the game. Some of the same strategic considerations apply as in the previous mission, but they’ll frequently be subsumed by a more brutal calculation. At the start of each of your turns after the first, you score 1 VP for each objective you control. Randomly rolled VP values have no real place in a competitive setting.

Three objectives are placed, one in the centre of the board and two at least 15″ away from it on a line that runs equidistant between the two deployment zones.

With new rules, point adjustments, stratagems and units.
Terrain in this mission is placed after setting up objectives, and must be at least 3″ away from them. The first player is in the big bind that if they commit their troops to an early attempt to take the objective you can probably just thwart them, and pull ahead, but if they don’t you can space out when you deploy your own Troops to maximise your scoring for minimal expenditure. 0000001276 00000 n It isn’t totally universal, but it’s a lot more common for very big scoring chains to be accumulated by the player going first than second, and especially in the current metagame there really doesn’t need to be any more incentive to go first.

If you’re looking for all the points for all the armies – it’s in the Munitorum Field Manual. 0000005180 00000 n Curated objective placement – after picking deployment zones, players place one objective each in “no-man’s land” then two each in their own deployment zone. All missions share the following general rules: “Full Army” deployment, introduced in Chapter Approved 2018 (CA18), remains the standard for all missions. if they’ve left one flank weak then deploying most of your units on the flank can be a powerful choice – it minimises the amount of their threats that will get range on you turn one, but you can still counterattack onto the centre while sending a smaller contingent onto the objective they’ve left uncontested. 132 49 If your opponent is stacking objectives in the middle of the board it’s likely that they don’t want to be committing forces out here, allowing you to make them either split their army up or concede these points to your more mobile elements. Obviously most armies will include some Troops, and punishing heavily skewed lists is fine in what are designed to be “accessible” competitive missions, but I think at the point where one of the objectives is unscorable unless you have at least four Troops units alive (or I guess two small and one big one) you’ve swung too far to being prescriptivist. Choosing which objective will be your “home” objective should be pretty easy – and for the Defender, it’s likely to be pretty clear which one the Attacker is going to choose during deployment, allowing them to adapt appropriately. This is less good balance-wise. Munitorum Field Manual (Chapter Approved 2019) CHAOS - All Points Values!
