Select a scenario
The scenario that you select determines the overall nature of the battle that you intend to play.
Each scenario offers a unique combination of rules for setup and play, to model different types of confrontation and victory conditions.
We detail a range of scenarios at Scenarios.
Types of scenario
Scenarios can take many different forms, but Epic Remastered presents them broadly as follows:
-
Refight scenarios: Recreations of 'historical' battles in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. These scenarios showcase the use of narratives to create engaging, unique battles.
-
Battle scenarios: Outlines of various different types of confrontation that are common on battlefields across the galaxy. These scenarios give you generalised frameworks for your battles, but include little in the way of narrative — that’s up to you.
-
The Fog of War: A method to generate lots of different match-ups — in effect, a great way to generate lots of different scenarios that force you and your opponent to adapt to the unexpected.
Some of the scenarios use common special rules that model the effects of fortifications, morale, and so on (Scenario special rules). Some specify rules that are unique to those scenarios.
How to select a scenario to play
Of course, you and your opponent can simply agree on a scenario to play, invent a new one, or plan several to play in a sequence as a mini-campaign. Or, you may prefer to select a scenario at random.
| If you’re new to the game, it’s best to start with the simplest scenarios. We recommend Refight 1: Gogard’s Last Stand! and Refight 4: The Sulphur River. |
