THE ARMIES
Choose armies as normal. Due to the fact the defender gains free fortifications, the attackers gets an extra 1500 pts.

THE BATTLEFIELD
The defender's deployment zone is within 24" of a short edge. The attacker's deployment zone is within 12" of the opposite edge. The defender sets up terrain. The defender can use any fortifications without cost and can place them within 3" of each other. The Defender also places a Generator in his deployment zone.

DEPLOYMENT
Before deploying their forces, players should first roll for their Warlord Traits. The defender deploys first.

FIRST TURN
The attacker goes first, unless the Defender can Seize the Initiative.
