Special Rules: (Werewolves)
Fear: Werewolves are creatures borne of
myth and legend, and are terrifying
creatures. They cause Fear.
Regeneration: Werewolves are incredibly
resilient creatures. Many blows that would
lay low any mortal man heal themselves
instantly. To represent this, a Werewolf has
a special 5+ Regeneration Roll for every hit
that it suffers. If this roll is failed, the wound
is lost as per normal.
Lycanthrope: Same as above, substituting
the Werewolf's stat-line for the Balewolf.
Blood Hunger: A werewolf's thirst is never
slaked. Should a werewolf take its prey out
of action upon their initial charge, they will
immediately charge the nearest model,
provided they are within charge range. A
werewolf will always move towards or
charge the nearest living model.
Ending the Game:
The game ends when all warbands but one
have failed their rout tests. Warbands who
rout automatically lose. If two or more
warbands have allied when the other
warbands have all routed, they may decide
to share the spoils of victory or fight on until
there is only one remaining on the field.
Experience:
+1 Survives: If a Hero or a Henchman
group survives they gain +1 Experience.
+1 Winning Leader: The Leader of the
Warband who won the scenario gains +1xp.
