Phase 4 Primary Mission

Encirclement

As the fighting around Threnos tightens, the chance to trap and crush an exposed enemy wing becomes too valuable to ignore. Commanders that can close the ring stand to break the opposition outright.

Primary Mission

Establish Encirclement

While one or more units from your army (excluding AIRCRAFT and battle-shocked units) are wholly within 6" of a battlefield edge and more than 9" from any corner of the battlefield, you have a presence on that battlefield edge.

Scoring

Any Battle Round — End of your turn.

• You have a presence on three or more battlefield edges: 5VP.
• Your opponent controls no objectives within your territory: 5VP.

Second Battle Round Onwards — End of your Command phase (or the end of your turn in the fifth battle round).

• You control one or more objectives: 5VP.

Control Bonus

As the fighting rages on, an opportunity presents itself to encircle a major enemy force. If you can successfully trap the foe in this way, they will surely be destroyed.

At the end of the battle, you gain 1 additional Control Point if one or more of the following conditions are met:

• You gained 35+ VP from this Primary Mission during the battle.
• You have a presence on three or more battlefield edges.
