Messana: The Spark That Lit a Flame (Clash of Spears scenarios and Mamertine list)

If an enemy unit must take a melee morale test while it has more fatigue points than the cutthroat soldiers it fights, it adds 1D6 to the test as though it had suffered an extra casualty.

If an enemy unit is forced to take a morale test from melee while they have more fatigue points than the cutthroat soldiers they are fighting, they must add 1D6 to the test

Line troops: javelin men (8 pts), guerrilla infantry (19 pts), hoplite infantry (24 pts) and rare slingers (8 pts), each with combat/ranged/grit/save values, weapons, armour, traits and options. The army must include a level II+ character and cannot have more characters than line units.

Your army must include at least one character of level II or higher and cannot include more characters than the total number of line units army.

Models of both allied forces are summed for break points and casualties. At the end of each turn each objective a side controls (a model within 4" and no enemy within 4") in the enemy's half adds one break point to the enemy; these do not accumulate and can swing turn to turn. Both sides breaking together is a draw.

The objective-related break points do not accumulate from turn to turn; they must be checked at the end of each turn, counting only for that turn

The Carthaginian deploys and the Mamertine player then assigns four fatigue points among Carthaginian units; the Mamertine deploys and receives five from the Carthaginian; no unit may take more than two. Romans and Syracusans then deploy fresh.

After the units are deployed, the Mamertine player assigns four fatigue points among the Carthaginian units. No unit can be assigned more than two fatigue points.

The opposing side picks one of the roller's units within 2" of a building; it takes three missile attacks hitting on 5+ with a +1 save modifier and tests morale if needed.

Every time a player rolls a 1 before applying any modifiers on the initiative roll, a group of civilians will throw tiles and debris at the soldiers fighting the battle.

Each player fields 700 points under muster requirements; the Fields of Blood multiplayer rules are recommended. The winner of scenario 1 gains an extra fate point in scenario 2.

This is a four-player game; all forces must observe the muster force requirements (no ad-hoc forces allowed).

Scenario 1's engagement phase is at dawn in heavy fog, so night detection ranges from the core rules apply.

The engagement phase happens at dawn, but the heavy fog impedes visibility so use the night detection ranges
