SOMETHING’S GOING ON
ON MALANTAE!
The system of Mallantae on the Eastern fringe of Segmentum Obscurus consists of two class B minor and a class C planet, orbiting a dwarf star. Mallantae I is the most hospital, drawing sufficient energy for plant-life and to power the solar farms making habitation comfortable.
Despite a usually stable communications relay system, nothing has been heard from Malantae II for the past two cycles.
Your Squadron has been dispatched to find out what is going on.
What you will need to bring
You should bring a Squadron of up to 125 points to meet a selection of balanced missions. You will also require additional Ground Assets worth up to 17 points and a Ground Structure, which will be used in some of the missions. Your force is built using the standard squadron lists and rules from the Rulebooks, Campaign Books or Companion published by Games Workshop and as clarified by the FAQ / updated in the Taros Air War Campaign book / Aeronautica Imperialis Companion.
You will also need to bring any tokens, markers, dice and rulebooks required to play the game, a printed roster containing each of your Squadron Aircraft and Ground Defences, listing any selected upgrades.
We will not be using the Expanded Rules from the Companion, nor the Legion Specific Upgrades from the Warhammer The Horus Heresy Aeronautica Imperialis Rulebook in this Tournament. Progression will be represented by bonuses for completing certain mission objectives.
.
The Tournament
The Tournament will consist of 3 Games, using your 125 point Squadron (the same is used for each mission) In addition, up to 17 points of Ground Assets are used in the latter two missions, along with a non-point costed Ground Target, which may be represented by an available model, or suitable marker, provided this is clear to your opponent.
Each mission is scored as per the standard ‘Victory Points for Aircraft’, with additional Victory Points being available as per the Mission Scenario.
