Shards

A well-respected General has put a bounty on the thugs who have kidnapped his
daughter and whisked her off into the streets of Mordheim. Many have heard the
screams of the woman and seen her being chained by two large Minotaurs onto a
post. Both warbands have come together, both in desperation for the reward and to
fight what looks to be a formidable foe.
Terrain
Each player takes it in turns to place a piece of terrain set up within an area roughly
4’x4’. The post with the distraught daughter is placed in the centre of the board, as
are the two Minotaurs.
Setup
Both warbands begin on the same table edge, but must be at least 8” away from
each other.
Special Rules
Freeing the Captive: Both warbands will not attack each other until the General’s
daughter has been taken from the post. A member of the attacking warband may
attempt to break the chains of the General’s daughter by charging directly next to
the model. Treat this as a charge against the chains. Hits made in close combat with
the chains are made automatically. Treat them as an object with 1 wound and a
toughness of 4. Once a wound is scored against the chains, they are considered
shattered and the daughter will stay in base contact with her rescuer.
Trouble, With Horns: Both Minotaurs will charge towards the nearest enemy and will
return the daughter back to the post if they come into base contact with her. Use the
stats for the Minotaurs from the Beastmen warband, reproduced below for
convenience.

Special Rules:

Starting the Game
Both players roll a D6. The higher scoring player takes the first turn. The Minotaurs
always go last.
Ending the Game
When the General’s daughter has been carried off the board or when one warband
fails a rout test. The routing warband loses.
Experience
+1 Survives: If a Hero or Henchman group survives the battle they gain +1
Experience.
+1 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +1 Experience.
+1 Per Enemy Out Of Action: Any Hero earns +1 experience for each enemy he puts
Out Of Action.
+3 For Rescuing the General’s Daughter: The General will personally train the Hero
who returns his daughter off the board.
