First Turn: The player who deployed first goes first unless the opponent can Seize the Initiative. Game Length: This game uses variable game length. Victory Conditions:
Primary ObjectiveYou have been ordered to secure the being known as the Headless Horseman by command. He is utterly immune to all ranged weaponry and cannot be shot at. Due to his spectral nature he is also ignored for LOS reasons. The only way to capture him is to beat him in close combat. His statline is provided below. Once captured he is considered to be carried by the squad (in nets, grav fields, ensorcelled chains and what have you) and he moves as if he was a member of the squad. The squad carrying the horseman may only move 6 per phase. You receive 3VPs if you can secure him in your deployment zone still captured by a squad. If the squad carrying the horseman is wiped out than he acts as normal starting immediately, resuming his activities. If the squad carrying him is assaulted and defeated in assault they may choose to attempt a fight with him. Both the horseman and the pursuing squad roll a D6 and add their Initiative. If the opposing squad wins they immediately fight a close combat, if the horseman wins he escapes and operates as normal. The Headless Horseman moves 2D6 in a direction randomized by a scatter dice at the end of every turn, unless he is captured. At the end of every shooting phase he inflicts D6 S5 Ap2 hits on every unit within 6, Vehicles are hit on their rear armour, as he flings spectral flaming pumpkins around him. The Headless Horseman never counts as engaged in Close Combat, and as such will leave at the end of the turn. If he would come into contact with a unit or vehicle stop him an inch away.
