Fortnight 1: The Free Market

Once a vibrant hub of commerce and social activity, the market square now lies in ruins. Crumbling buildings, many partially collapsed or burned, surround the square. The cobblestone pavement is uneven and broken, with weeds and vegetation pushing through the gaps. The remains of stalls and awnings hint at the bustling trade that once took place here. The square is shrouded in an unsettling silence, broken only by the occasional gust of wind that stirs up dust and debris. Unopened crates can be found and their contents claimed for those who dare cross the open ground. It is best not to pick through the remnants for too long for who knows what spies from the surrounding buildings. The wary fear to go towards the centre of the square as it is said winged beasts prey from above.

Overview
Loot the crates and rout your opponent.

Setup and Deployment
The market square is larger than what is represented by the 4’x4’ board. The terrain represents a corner of the market square. Setup buildings along the whole length of the edges next to areas C and D, then setup sparse terrain representing a ruined market for the rest of the board (boxes, barrels, trees, fountains).

Setup d3 rare crates (6” or more apart) in the area marked A. Setup d3 +3 common crates (6” or more apart) in the area marked B.

Roll off to deploy your warband first and deploy in area C or D. The opponent then sets up in the other deployment zone.

These stables boarded equine belonging to the soldiery and state officials of Mordheim. When the comet hit, a large piece of it broke off and destroyed the stables and ruined the surrounding area. Somehow, a number of the horses kept in the stables survived and now aimlessly wander the area, desperately searching for friendly humans brave enough to approach the comet fragment. Several warbands have tried to mount expeditions to the stables and were never heard from again. Rumours abound in Cutthroat’s Haven of mercenaries who claim to have encountered survivors wandering the ruined city, jibbering in a foul tongue and utterly mad. Things are getting desperate for your warband, so you strike off for the stables to try your luck… Terrain Place the crashed comet fragment terrain piece in the centre of the board, then set up buildi...
