THE CULMINATING POINT, or A Sand Dune Too Far
Warmaster Scenario by Rick Wynn
Inspired by the 40th anniversary of El Alamein



2000 points of Chaos (Afrika Korps) and 3000 points of Orcs (Italians)
are all that is left of a grand invasion designed to loot Khemria of arcane
artifacts (Chaos goal) and tons of gold  (Orcs). The invaders are starving
and short of water; -1 to all command rolls except for Chaos Knights (who
appropriate whatever's left to themselves).

The rational thing to do would be to retreat, but who associates reason
with Chaos? Khorne says slay or die, so forward they go.

Terrain: The salt sea to the north, impassable Qatara depression to the
south. Between them, a 4000 point Undead army waits. Much of its front is
protected by scorpion pits and stony ruins - defended terrain - with a
second line of defended terrain behind. The invaders have one day (6-8 turns)
to break the Tomb Kings force; if not, the undead receive 2000 points of
reinforcements (invaders get _nothing_), and launch the counterattack the
next day. Then its a question of whether any of the invaders survive to return 
to the north.
