At the end of the game, each objective is worth 3 points. This then leaves only two objectives on the table. The other player does the same with the Beta objectives. The player then randomly selects one Alpha objective (D3 roll that cannot be re-rolled with command point) and the other Alpha objectives are removed. At the start of the third battle round, the player with the next turn selects three of the objectives as Alpha markers. This mission uses 6 objectives placed in the standard way (12″ apart, 6″ from a table edge).

I like this style of mission, as I think the game should be about going after objectives and not just sitting back and just shooting one another. This is a mission that encourages players not to sit in their own deployment zone and to go after the objectives in the centre and your opponent’s deployment zone. The second objective for each player must be placed in their own deployment zone.Īt the end of the game, the central objective markers are worth 2 points each, the marker in your deployment zone is worth 1 point and the one in your opponent’s deployment zone is worth 4 points. This means that for the standard Dawn of War deployment, two objectives must be placed on the central line. The first objective marker for each player must be placed at least 12″ from the centre of the board and at least 12″ from each players’ deployment zone. This mission is slightly different in that objectives are placed after choosing deployment zones. All missions score a point for First Blood, Slay the Warlord and Linebreaker. In these missions, you roll off for first turn (the player that finishes deploying first gets +1 to the roll). You set up the terrain, place objectives, determine deployment zone and the player that placed the final objective chooses the deployment zone.

Most of the missions are set up in the same way as the rulebook Eternal war missions. A couple of these introduce a new progressive scoring system, which is a nice addition to the rules and I think will encourage more objective holding or taking during the game, rather than just pouncing on them in the final turns. There are six new Eternal war missions presented in the book. This adds a lot more variety to the missions in the 40k rulebook (as well as the awesome new ITC missions) and gives you some great new ways to play the game. The 2017 edition of Chapter Approved also sees the introduction of 6 new Eternal War and Maelstrom of War missions. For more reviews and analyses, check out the Tactics Corner. Hi everyone, Michael here with a review of the new Eternal War and Maelstrom of War missions in Chapter Approved 2017.
