This is a two-player scenario using the existing Mordheim rules as a one-shot game.

A small group of unlucky travelers races through a dark forest. Unfortunately,

they're not the only thing on the move this evening - a horde of undead is on the

move! If the traveling party can last until dawn, the threat will pass. Can they

survive until daybreak?

Terrain

This scenario takes place in a forest. The entire board is considered to be covered in

trees, even if no tree/woods terrain is placed in the area. Tree/woods terrain

indicates areas of thicker forest. Any model within two inches of a placed tree/woods

terrain is considered to be in cover. Placed tree/woods terrain blocks line of sight.

Setup

The living team is

created using basic

rules for creating a

starting Mordheim

warband with the

following

exceptions. The

warband can only

use 300 gc to

create a party and

the party may

have no

henchmen. The

warband can only

contain one spell

caster. The spell

caster gets to start

with two randomly

determined spells.

The undead team

doesn't even need

a warband sheet.

All the undead

team has is

zombies. Lots of

zombies. Scads

and scads of

zombies. Even

more than that.

All you really need

to do is write down

the zombie's stats

on a scrap piece of

paper and you're

fine. The living

team sets up first

in area A, an eight-

inch square.

The undead team

starts anywhere in

area B. The

undead team starts

with twice as many

Zombies as there

are living team

models. Once

these Zombie

models are placed,

the undead player

rolls 1d6 and can

set up that many

additional

Zombies. Zombies

must be at least

two inches from

each other (that is,

from base edge to

base edge). No

Zombie may be

initially placed

inside any

structure or ruin.

Place a small, one-

level building or

defendable ruin at

location C.

The two players alternate placing whatever terrain they would like on the board until

they have decided that that's enough. Trees, hills, and dirt roads are recommended

for this scenario. Additional buildings or ruins and rivers are not.

Special Rules

Night : If that wasn't bad enough, this takes place at night. Living creatures vision is

severely impaired -- living models can only see 6 + Initiative value in inches. The

ranges for non-melee weapons can only shoot out to this distance. As this scenario

recreates the classic zombie movies, the undead team doesn't have to worry about

vision ranges.

The Restless Dead : In the recovery phase of the undead team's turn (starting with

the second turn), the player adds 2+1D6 Zombies to the board anywhere outside of

the living team's models line of sight. Exception -- new Zombies may not begin

inside any structure or ruin. Zombies are mindless. They will move in a (relatively)

straight line towards the living models. Zombies instinctively know where the living

models are, so don't even bother hiding from them. If a Zombie knocks a living

model Out of Action, the next turn, that Zombie does not move. Any Zombies that

start within two inches of the Out Of Action model will move to base contact with the

Zombie, unless in combat. None of these Zombies may attack a living model, as

they are too busy eating brains. These Zombies may be attacked as if they were

knocked down models.

Daybreak : Here's where the living team might get lucky. On the start of the living

player's fourth turn and every turn thereafter, roll 1d6. On a 6, the sun rises. For

each turn after the fourth, add one to the roll (Turn 5, the player needs a 5 or a 6;

turn 6, he'll need a 4, 5, or 6...). If the sun rises, the zombies shamble

away/collapse/disintegrate.

The House in the Woods : This is your classic "hole up in the house while Zombies try

to break in and eat our brains" house. The doors and windows are initially open, so

any ol' Zombie can try to claw his or her (its?) way inside. Unless in hand to hand

combat, a living model can attempt to block one of the openings in his or her hand-

to-hand combat phase. The model must be by the opening to do so. Once blocked,

the entryway cannot be opened again -- make certain that everyone who is coming

in is in! Zombies (and living models that find themselves locked out) can attempt to

break down the barricade by rolling under their Strength (that is, rolling a one or a

two for Zombies) during the hand to hand combat phase. If the opening is

breached, it cannot be blocked again - the building is so small. There just isn't

enough to block every entrance!

Starting the Game

The living team starts first.

Ending the Game

If the Zombies manage to take all the living models Out Of Action, they win. If the

Living team manages to hold off the Zombies until daybreak or escape off the far

edge of the board, they win.

Experience

+1 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +1 Experience.

+1 Survives: If a Hero or Henchman group survives the battle they gain +1

Experience.

+1 Per Enemy Out Of Action: Any Hero earns +1 experience for each enemy he puts

Out Of Action.
