Da Snatch is the first in a series of clashes between Grotfang's Orcs and Goblins and Rutgar's Empire forces that will eventually climax in a huge final battle. The outcome of this battle will decide whether Grotfang gets hold of the Crown of Gork.
THE BATTLEFILED
The battle field is dominated by the hill on which stand the twin idols of Gork and Mork. The Idol of Gork has now fallen over, which will make it far easier to dig up the Crown of Gork buried beneath it.
The hill where the idols stand is a fixed terrain feature which must be placed first in the middle of the battle field, no futher than 24" from the Empire player's edge but no closer than 6" to it.

SPECIAL RULES
The following Special Rules apply to this scenario;
Darkness: The Night Goblins are fighting in their favourite conditions; deep, gloomy gloom! This means they can fight better than they would in daylight. To represent this, the Goblin player may re-roll any missed dice rolls to hit when shooting; each miss may be re-rolled once.
The darkness also makes it difficult for the Empire troops to shoot. All missile troops in the Empire force suffer from a -1 tom hit modifier for shooting in the dark. The darkness also means taht they won't march move. The Halfling are immune to the effects of darkness due to eating a vast ammount of carrots.
Sneakin' Up: At the start of the movement phase of his first turn, but before moving any of his units, the Goblin player rolls one dice for each of his units. Each unit creeps forward as many inches as the dice score. This represents the cunning and sneaky Gobbos creeping up stealthily before the Empire looksout realise what is happening and manage to raise the alarm.
Gork's Powers are Waning: Oddgit cannot use Fists of Gork or Hands of Gork as the Idol of Gork has been toppled over by the humans. Remove these spells from the magic deck.
Waaagh Power Drain: Ceratin glyphs carved into the idol are now upside down and Waagh magic is being sucked into the idol. Oddgit will always add +1 to his dice scroe if he is required to roll on the'Eadbanger Chart.
Eerie Noises: The idols of Gork and Mork make eerie noises at night. Any Empire troops intending to move over or onto the hill must take a leadership test.
DEPLOYMENT
The Empire force is gaurding the idols and is therefore deployed first, before any Goblins. The Empire force is deployed no futher than 12" from the Empire player's edge and no closer than 12" to the side edges. One unit may be placed on the idol's hill as long asthey are not placed on the Goblin side of the table.
THE BATTLE
The Goblin Army is attacking at night so it has the element of surprise. The Goblin player therefore has the first turn of the game.
Da Snatch is a Goblin night raid. It begins at midnight and ends at sunrise. To reprsent this the battle lasts five turns unless the battle ends in a sudden death victory.
At dawn the Goblins will break off from the battle and haed for home to avoid the glare of the sun. Rutgar's men must thus try to keep the Goblins away from the idols until sunrise in order to win.
VICTORY
If Oddgit reaches the fallen idol; he immediantely grubs out the Crown of Gork and stuffd it into his filthy robes. The battle finishes as the end of this turn in a sudden death victory for the Goblins. Only Oddgit is able to find and recognise the Crown of Gork. The rest of the Gobbos have not been let in on the objective of the raid.
If Oddgit is slain or routed off the table before he finds the crown, the battle ends at the end of that turn in an immediate victory for the Empire player.
If the battle continues until sunrise then count up victory points to deside who wins. In the event of a draw the Empire will win by default.
Snagga's Ambush is the second in a series of encounters between Grotfang's Orcs and Goblins and Rutgar's Empire forces. The outcome of this battle will decide whether Rutgar receives reinforcements from the Empire, inclueding a valuable wizrd, or whether he will have to defend his new settlemet with only his regular forces.
THE BATTLEFILED
The main feature of the battle field is the road from the Empire which runs directly across the table, and a long ridge that runs parellel with it, behind whic the Orcs are poised ready yo ambush the convoy.
The road from the Empire is placed first. This runs from one side edge, across the width of the table, and exists on the opposite side. It runs no further than 12" from the Empire player's table edge. The rode should be wide enough for a column of four models abrest.
The ridge where the Orcs lurk is placed next. This is represented by several low hills placed no closer than 12" to the Orc player's edge. The Orc army will therefore be screened from view from the road at the start of the game.

You may choose 3,000 points from the troops listed here; Rutgar ..... 170 points Rutgar is the youngest son of the Count of Wissenland. As such he has no claim to the throne; that belongs to his elder brother. Instead of trying to secure power for himself, he chose the path of duty and honour. His qualaties were soon recognised as far away as the Border Princes, where the Margraf Frederik offered him lands won from the accursed Orcs. Rutgar is youthful, but shrewd and brave, and has loyal companions to advise him. He is a true warrior of the Empire like those of old. Not for him the foppery and flattery of a decadent court; he would rather the rough tent and the companionship of simple soilders who thrive on the excitement of battle.
Equipment: Rutgar is armed with a hand weapon, Star Lance, light armour, a shield; riding a barded warhorse. Save: 3+ Magic Items: Rutgar carries the Star Lance. He is renowned as a victor of many tournaments. Not only has he won honours in the Empire, but also in Bretonnia.In one of these he was awarded the Star Lance for unhorsing a Bretonnian Knight, no mean achievment! The Star lance is said to be tipped with a mithril lance head forged in remote antuity by the Elves.
