SCENARIOS SCENARIOS SCENARIOS SCENARIOS

• Background: Three powerful Ki Idols have

mysteriously risen from the ground in the

battle area. Those versed in the ways of Ki

have determined that by turning these idols in

a particular way, the forces of Ki will be

aligned in the favor of the force doing the

turning. Two forces have converged on the

area in order to make sure that they gain the

favor of Ki rather than their opponents.

• Setup: Use any terrain elements you have

available and set up a 2' by 2' table by

agreement with your opponent. Place three

tokens along the centre line of the board, the

first in the middle and the other two 8" on

either side of the centre token. These tokens

should have a facing marked on them, and

set so that they are not facing either player’s

table edge when play starts. These tokens

represent the three Idols. The players make a

Tactical roll and the winner selects the

table edge he wishes to deploy on. The loser

must then deploy his/her entire force in the

opposite deployment zone, at least 12" from

the centre line. When the loser of the Tactical

roll has deployed his/her force then the

winner deploys his/her entire force on the

other table edge, again at least 12" from the

centre line.

• Instructions: Players are attempting to turn

the idols to face their table edge. In order to

turn an Idol a model must be in BtB contact

when it is activated and then perform aSimple action. An Idol can only be turned 90

degrees with any action. A model in BtB with

an enemy model cannot turn an Idol. The

game lasts for 6 Turns. After the last turn,

calculate Victory Points to see which player

has triumphed.

• Victory Points: At the end of the game,

each player gains 1 Victory Point for each

Idol facing his/her own table edge. The player

with the most Victory Points wins.
