This weekend some friends and I are playing sugmar, unfortunately there's only 3 with armies so we need a scenario or setup for 3, as far as I know the books don't mention 3 player setups, is there a site with good homemade scenarios I could browse or any other suggestions? I was thinking of using the "The Tower" scenario with 1 in the center and 1 at either end but am looking for options.
I think what Games Workshop would answer would be close to < Rainbows > < JazzHands > MAKE YOUR OWN! < /JazzHands > < /Rainbows >
A scenario that my friends and I are going to try is two smaller armies against a larger army. The defending army tries to hold as long as possible. The two smaller armies will be 75% of the larger army (i.e. 100 models/wounds, pick your poison, for the large army; 75 models/wounds for the smaller armies.) Below is a picture of where to set up.(Change it as necessary.) If you use it let me know how it goes. Enjoy!
I played a 3 way game with my son and his friend Ogre V Lizardmen set up at each end of the table but after turn 1 before any combat a invading Dark elve force is spotted 1/2 up the table and coming from the side. Similar to what @Kultak has posted in that the DE are the largest force, will the Ogre and Lizardmen team up to crush the DE or is there darker workings a foot. In the end I split the DE and attacked both Ogre and Lizardmen and got crushed but the boys loved it.
I was considering something like that, just with a time limit maybe, maybe allow 2 generals for the larger force and when they die they lose? Maybe a tower scenario with two towers? Make a scoring system, towers + heroes killed vs turns held?
Instead of a time limit, you might want to consider 3 – 4 rounds. I’m not sure about the two generals. It will quickly turn into a character sniping contest and a good round of shooting will take care of them.
