Hi

Not sure if the question is in the right place here, but anyways.

The 6 Eternal War and 6 Maelstrom Missions in the core rulebook all give the first turn to the player who finished deploying first (ignoring seize for the moment).

The 6 Eternal War and 6 Maelstrom Missions in Chapter Approved instead use a roll-off, with the player who finished deploying first getting a +1 (ignoring seize for the moment).

The latter has been previewed some time before Chapter Approved was even released and most people appear to have adopted the Chapter Approved variant for the "old" or "classic" rulebook missions.


But, now that Chapter Approved is out, where does it state that this ruling is implemented in the old rulebook missions (as opposed to only the new ones in Chapter Approved)? Unlike things like Boots on the Ground or the no-more-seize-initiative rule, I cannot find it in the section of changes to matched play more generally?

Help?

Simply put, it doesn't specifically apply to the BRB missions. Most people have House-Ruled this like you said, but truly it does only apply to the Chapter Approved missions.

Our gaming group house rules Chapter Approved first turn for all our games, but yes, rulebook missions still work as normal.

Tip: Use only the missions from CA, they are designed much better and have been tested extensively since they were copy pasted from AoS.
