Flashpoint 1 – Assault the Forge *
Following the establishment of a traitor beachhead a push towards loyalist forges has begun.
Traitor mechanicus uprisings spurred on by the schism of Mars has resulted in resource grabs across the sector with infighting and civil war decimates loyalist holdings.
The final majoris forges must be held to secure resources needed for the war effort and supply forces on Terra.
The avatars of war, the legions and households walk on both sides, there is no place for neutrality
MISSION SPECIFICS
In this Mission, the Attacker is attempting to gain a foothold in the Defender’s city. The Defender must deploy
their Detachments within the Defender’s deployment zone (with the exception of any in Reserves). The Attacker
must then deploy their Detachments within the Attacker’s deployment zone.
Instead of determining Secondary Objectives as normal:
- Attacker(s) – Plant the Standard
- Defender(s) – Control the Battlefield
Traitors will be playing as the attackers in this scenario, Loyalists will be the defenders.
