DBA & HOTT Territories Campaign A Rules

DBA & HOTT TERRITORIES CAMPAIGN RULES
The majority of these rules are taken fromthe Warhammer Rule Book, 6th edition, produced by Games Workshop. This material has only been
modified by the author and all original copyrights remain in the hands of Games Workshop.
Conquer and Explore
To begin the campaign, each player generates three random territories (Excluding Lost Valley) from the chart shown
below. These represent a mix of settlements, terrain and resources that his army controls. Once the campaign is under
way, new players can join at any time simply by generating the three random territories. Players that have their
territories reduced to below three may also restart in the same way.
Army size
Players select a standard DBA/HOTT army for start of the campaign. This army will start at full strength for the first
battle, but any loses will be carried forwards. However, losses may be made up by recruiting elements from the
territory that is being staked. These then remain with the army. Thus the size and composition of an army will vary
throughout the course of the campaign. At no time may the army exceed 12 element/24 APs except in the case of when
conducting an Invasion or with the addition of an allied contingent.
Allied Contingent.
Allied contingents may be available from certain territories. They arrive in a single one-element frontage column along
the players base edge and over 600 paces from an enemy on a die roll of 6. They use their own separate die to
determine how many elements/groups they can move each turn. An Allied contingent is only available for the battle
that its territory is staked.
Fighting Battles
Players are free to fight each other as they wish, representing skirmishes along their common borders, intrusions into
their rivals' territory and outright invasions. However, players may not fight the same opponent twice in a row and
must play at least one other person before returning to the first enemy. The number of territories held by each
player indicates the size and power of his realm. The more territories a player has, the bigger and better his power base
will be.
When a battle is joined, both players must stake one of their territories. Each player nominates the territory to be staked
before the game begins. In DBA the battles take place in the defenders territory terrain. If in doubt, dice for it. After
the game is over, an additional territory is generated from the table below. The player who wins the game retains his
original territory and selects either of the two remaining territories to add to his own. This will be either his rival's
territory or the newly generated one. The loser takes the territory that is left. If the winner takes his rival's territory, then
the loser is assumed to have been forced back into the newly generated territory. Likewise, if the winner takes the new
territory, then the battle has determined which side will possess this new land.
Raid
If a player has at least half as much territory as his opponent, then he can raid his enemy's land. A raid is fought exactly
like any other game, except that both armies are limited to the same maximum points value, set by the raider.
Because the raiding player is making a surprise raid into enemy territory, taking advantage of his small size to penetrate
deeply into his enemy's lands, he can pick which territory his enemy must stake. Furthermore, both armies are limited in
choice as if the staked territories were the only territories either player had. This represents the fact that only local
troops are available to fend off the raid, while the raiders are a nimble and mobile force.
Invasion
Players stake territories as normal, but the invader selects a second territory from the defender. This represents the
attackers penetration in force. The defender may use the recruitment values of both these territories and the attacker
may double the recruitment value for his staked territory.
If the attacker wins, he gains both territories. If he loses, then his loses are doubled reflecting the ensuing debacle of a
long retreat through hostile territory.
Alliances
Players may not form alliances with each other.
Winning the Campaign
The campaign is be won by the first player to gain 13 territories. Or if two players both reach 12 territories, then the
winner may be decided by a play-off between them or by playing a group game using Big Battle rules and other players
using their armies as Allies.

Other Campaign Rules
Other campaign rules may apply during the course of the campaign.
Armies
Players choose a DBA/HOTT army for the campaign. This army will start at full strength for each battle, 12 elements /
24 APs. However, it may be increased (up to 15 elements/30 Aps) by the values that the staked territory confers.
Should the value be 3 elements/ 6APs then they may be used as an allied force and receive their own die in the battle.
To determine victory conditions in a campaign battle when an army may have more or less than 12 elements?
The breakpoint in a regular DBA game equals 33% losses (4/12). In a campaign game, you can apply that same
percentage to determine the number of lost elements which equals the breakpoint.
