And registration fee is away! To ensure that my ride down is actually registered, I paid his fee at the same time - hopefully, that's not an issue.

Thanks for getting this stuff so early, guys! Couple quick questions about the missions: 1) In Mission 3, what are the dimensions of the deployment zones? (Is this meant to be Dawn of War deployment?) 2) In Mission 3, I'm guessing each player places 2 objectives (based on available points). Correct? 3) In Mission 4, how can you place objectives before knowing deployment zones? (The triangles can go either way, depending on what the player with first choice decides, and the objectives must be deployed in the no-man's-land between the two zones, correct?) 4) In Mission 4, how many objectives are placed? 5) In Mission 4, what are the rules for "Preliminary Bombardment"?
Thanks!

Hey Guys, I have a few questions regarding the rules and missions for the 40k games.
1. In the first mission, “Planetfall” it states that units can’t be embarked in order to control the objective. Will that apply to all missions, or just this one since the objectives are booby-trapped?
2. In the 3rd mission, “Strike at the Heart” it states under the Primary Objective that every infantry and HQ model in my army carries satchel charges. To destroy the objective I must be in sole control of the objective at the end of any player turn. Later in the Bonus Objective it states that I get 2 points if one of my HQ choices has destroyed at least one of the enemy objectives. Does that mean that a lone HQ choice can control objectives? Also can my HQ or infantry model control the objective from a transport? (Rhino pulls up, magic happens, Rhino pulls away…)
3. In the 4th mission, “Thinning Their Numbers” the Primary Objective is to reduce all enemy units to less than half strength or immobilize vehicles…. Ok, this one really gives me a headache… Does that mean that we add up the value of each unit reduced to less than half a-la 3rd and 4th edition Victory Point style? Or, does that mean that we get one point for each unit reduced to less than half and each immobilized vehicle? Or do we get “Slaughter Style” points for each unit reduced to less than half and each immobilized vehicle. (IE- A 300 point Elite choice is taken down to 140, so I get 2 points?) Also, this mission doesn’t state how many objective markers should be placed.
I had some other questions, but have to stop and grab some Tylenol... Thanks!

There are some alterations being done to the missions based on feedback and testing. Once Scott has the new revisions done, they will be posted. Mostly, Thinning their Numbers needed some tweeking. ~Q

Fantasy team event questions.
1. Magic phase? How is it going to be handle? Does the team have one pool of dice or does each member of the team have a pool of dice?
2. General does each team have 1 or 2 general (I think 2) and can you use your teammates general for leadership test?
3. BSB, can the team have 2 and does it work for both set of troops.
Thanks Eric

Each team has two pool dice in the magic phase. If a team contains at least one dwarf player, then it gets four pool dice in their dispell pool.
Each team has two generals, one for each player, and leadership (and the ability for VC to march) can be used from either general by all of the team's troops. In addition, both BSBs may be used for rerolling break or instability tests, along with the "one less crumble" VC and TK BSB effect.
Any sort of 1+ required restrictions and dependancies are waived for this event. This means that Brettonians are not required to have a BSB or Realm unit and that Ogres are not required to have Hunters to have multiple Trapper units, as examples.
Finally (and this is not in the packet), Tomb King players may designate the same model as both heirophant and general, if they wish. This means a Lich Priest could fill both roles, if desired. Also, Ogres may designate a butcher as their general, instead of having to take a bruiser. This is to facilitate these two armies being able to play without having to spend ridiculous amounts of points on characters (proportionally) to function.

A couple of quick questions.
1. Booby traps in mission 1 are triggered when "infantry models" get within range. Space Marines can take bike troops which can claim (since they are troops) but don't trigger the booby trap. Should that be updated to any non vehicle unit?
2. mission 3 states that infantry models and hq carry the charges. Does that mean bike troops cannot destroy the objective but an hq on the bike can? Also, I am assuming MC hq can (daemon prince, etc)
Thanks!
