The Spanish Catholics also have artillery overlooking the cornfield. Turn 1: The Spanish guns tear into the protestant line, even disordering the highly disciplined Swiss! Both sides push forwards towards the middle, but the French cavalry commander takes his elite cuirassiers in a dash behind the lines to intercept the Spaniards on the far flank.

Deployment: In this urban assault scenario both sides are attempting to secure the enemy base whilst defending their own. The white scars defend the tower with the stormseer and two strong bike units strung out in front, and a weaker one in the rubble on their right. Sheltering behind the buildings are two landspeeders.
