Scenario - The Wendle Bridge




Following the victory at the Battle of Fenn Wood, the undead army has advanced to the river crossing at Wendle. Crossing this will allow them to quickly advance into Imperial territory and provide a point for the invasion to intensify. 

A small force of local militia and scouts has assembled to hold the bridge, whilst outriders have been sent at all speed to alert the army, who are en route, having been brought in from the Northwestern fiefdoms following the earlier loss of the Southern army. Will they arrive on time to prevent the Undead taking the bridge?


Armies - Undead vs Empire.
Table Size - 6x4, with the long edges designated East and West, the short edges North and South
Rules - Warhammer 7th Edition, using Ravening Hordes army lists


Terrain: A rocky, wooded area, with the Miren river spanning the full stretch of the terrain. Wendle Bridge sits in the middle of the river, with a few buildings nearby for the local milita. The Wendle runs from the Eastern to Western sides of the table, more towards the Southern side. The river is impassable to all foot and cavalry units.

Undead Forces and Deployment:

2000 points of Undead, deployed 12" in from the Southern edge of the table.

Empire Forces and Deployment:

The Empire army is split into two parts, the Milita and the Northwestern Relief. 
Full army size is 2200 point. Army slots for character and unit types are calculated for 2200

Militia - 600 points. May only have a single Hero character assigned to them. This force deploys within 12" of the bridge on the Northern bank. No more than one war machine

Northwestern Relief Force - 1800 points. Arrive on Turn 3 from the Northern table edge with a normal move onto the table (so infantry may move 4" on, Cavalry 7/8" on. No march on this move as they have hurriedly deployed)

Victory Conditions:

Undead - you must take possession of this bridge. Anything else will be a failure
Empire - you must hold the bridge and not allow the undead to cross to the Northern riverbank at any cost.
