Event Horizon Games Discussions – How to play Game 4

·         DEPLOYMENT: Dawn of War (Rulebook P.93)

·         Primary: Table Quarters

·         Secondary: 5 Objectives

·         Tertiary: VP

Event Horizon Day 2 starts with Table Quarter and 5 objectives as the secondary. Table Quarter is earned by having the most VP in that quarter with Scoring Unit counting for full VP regardless of damage taken.

Similar to Game 3 on Day 1, this mission provides some advantageous to go second with the option to move into the needed quarters on turn 5, 6, or 7. This advantage is compounded with objectives as secondary mission also benefits from going second. 

If your army is mobile and/or fast, you can move around the outside and threaten two to three quarters in one movement phase. With a midfield armies and/or rock units, you can take the centre of the board and capture any quarter.

So, if you go first, Attack! Attack hard!

You will need to attack and aim to reduce your opponent’s mobility and force/divert/lure them deep in their own board edge for 5 turns. Put pressure from set up (half way) to force them back and then attack them to contain them deep. Pick their weaker side and disable one quarter of their army with your full force. Watch out for deep strike and out flankers as they are able to enter into your table quarters.

In this mission, you can be rewarded by being aggressive because it is Quarters and Objectives. It does not matter if 90% of my army is dead on turn 6, as long as your opponent is trapped within one quarter, or, you can capture hold 3 objectives even if you draw on quarters.
