CUNNINGETGUILE.

Here s'e

have

provided

a

brief history of the underhanded

tactics employed by

devious

generals

to defeat multiple opponents.

\lost

battles

arc

straightforward affairs; two armies

offerocious warriors

meet

on

the

batt1efie1d,

arra,v

their

battle lines, and

then

with

a

mighty

roar

-

crash

into

each other) the

victor

being decided

bv force ofarms,

skilful

leadership

and

perhaps

the

smallest

bit ofgood

luck.

Sometimes, though,

things

can be

much

Iess

clear-cut. OD

occasion,

it

will not

be

two armies that

clash on a

battlefield,

but three or more, with

each

force

striving

for

the

ultimate victory. At

such

times, temporary

alliances

may be

formcd,

only

for

one

allicd

force

or

the

other to suddenlv turn

on

their

so-called

friends.

These

unscrupulous tactics

are not

Iimited to simply

the

breaking ofalliances; in

a

battle fought

betrveen

three or more equally matched

opponents,

each

general

taking

part

must learn to

be

cunniflg

as

well

as

brutal He must

be able

to

set

his

foes

against

each

other, learn to

pick

his allies

wisely,

and know when to

stab someone

in

the

back

before

they

do the

same

thing to him. In

other

words,

a

successful

Warhammer general

needs

to

be able

to

use

underhanded

ploys

and

tactics

when they

are

required in

order

to

win

a

battle. They must

be

willing

to

use

whatever

tools are Deeded

to

secure

victory,

even ifit means

using fbul trickery

or stooping to

hiring

untrustrvorthy

mercenaries

though

they are hated

racial

enemies.

THERE CAN BE ONLY

ONE

It's not uncommon

for banles in

the

Warhammer rvorld to

have

morc than

tu,o sides. Sometimes a

strategically vital Iocation rvill Iie

close

to

several

kingdoms,

each

ofwhich

is desperate

to control it. By

manipulation or

chance, the

armies

ofthe different kingdoms will arrive on the battlefield

at

the

same

time.

Unable to

agree

on

an,v

alliances, all

will

fall to fighring

to

gain

control ofthe battleiield and

seize the

objective. At other times,

an

artefact

of

a\,vesome

value

lvill be

discovered, drawing rvarlords

desperate

to own it from far

and rvide across

the

Warhammer world. Unwilling to

share

the

loot

with

each

other,

the

warlords

rri11

soon

flll

to

arguing

and

then to all-out combat, until

one

leader

emerges

\,ictorious and

seizes

the

artefact

as

their own.

Most

commonly,

however, such

battles

come about

when

a

cunning

leader sees an

opporrunity

to

defeat several

rivals

at

a

single stroke.

The

combatants may have been drar,vn

together

for

any

number

ofreasons.

Perhaps they were

part

of two allied

armies,

whose

internal

quarrels

have Ied

to the allied

forces

fighting amongst

themselves as

rvell

as

against the

enemy.

Or

it

could simply

be

ill

fortune that

means

that three

or

more

hated

foes

find

themselves

arrir''ing

on a

field ofbattle

at

the

same

time, with

little

recourse

from

iighting their

foes

apart from

an

ignominious

retreat.

Thc Battlc

of

Fester Soike

In

rlrc

r

car

251

l,

by rh.'Empire's .alendar,

the Drvarf King Bhaldur Ironchest led

an

expedition from

Skaven

stronghold known

as Fester

one

of

Thc Battlc of

La Maisontaal

At La Maisontaal

Abbc1.,

the

Bretonnian knights

ofTancred, Duc

de

Ouenelles,

fought

the forces

ofthe Necromancer

Heinrich Kemmlcr

and

the Skaven

mutant Throt

the

Unclean.

Although

rvhen

the

treacherous

Skaven unleashed a

number

ofhellish Warplire Throlvers

from amongst

thcir

ranks

in

an

cffort to destrov

the

Lichemaster.

Kemmler rvalked unscathed

through

the

grcen

flames

they douscd

him with

and

turned

his

undying

forces

against the

deceitful ratmen. \\ratching

as

the

Skaven

and Undead battle lines

engaged each

other,

Duc Tancred

held his

forces

back

for

a

single heroic

charge,

rvhich

smashed

the

forces

ofthe

Skaven,

splitting them. Throt

escape

because

his

warpstone-enhanced

constitution

kept him

alive

despite

hortendous

wounds-

Flowever,

the

battle

rvas

far from

The Bretonnians

continued to

take heavy casualties

from the

relentless press

ofUndead,

for Kemmler kept

raising

those

that fell using

the

devastating

polver

of

his

necromantic magic

his mighty

force

of

will. Eventually,

the

Lichemaster

tired ofthe battle,

tealising

that the

Skaven had

already

fled with their prize. He slipped into

the

shadows and was

gone.

The Bretonnians

returned

to their

Iands

devoted the

to

seeking the downfall

ofthe Lichemaster,

tragically bringing about his own doom

at

INEAMY

For manr

rrariords,

the use ofdirty

tricks

and

cunning

ploys

seems

perfectly natural. Dark

EIf

and

Skar-en

generals

positively relish

such

things, while

Chaos

Warriors or Orc warlords

would not

thin

rrrire about perfonning

any act,

no matter how treacherous, should

it

guarantee

victory.

But

even

more

noble

generals

ot at least, noble

generals

who wish to

be

successful

must

be

willing to

do

an\

rhing in order

to

win. War, after all,

is

not

a game

where

the

only result

ofdefeat

is a

dent

to

one's

pride.

The

outcome

ofa battle

can lead

to

the

death

or

enslavement

ofhundreds

or thousands

ofa

leader's

followers,

quite

apart

from

the casualties

suffered

by

the

armies lighting

on the

battlefield

itseli

A

rvise general

knows that

it

is

his duty to

minimise

his own

side's loses, and he

must

be

willing

to employ

any

stratagem

to

achieve such

a

worthy

goal.

While

such

ploys have

their

place

in

any

battle,

rhey can be

critically important

in batties

between

three or more

eveoly

matched

opponents.

Consider, in

an

battle

between

two

sides,

each

general

has

an

equal

chance

ofwinning.

However, ifthere

are

three

sides, the

odds

change

dramatically;

instead

ofhaving

an equal shot at

victory,

each

general

only

has a one

third

chance

ofwinning,

all other

things being

equa1. Because

ofthis,

when fighting two

or more

foes,

it

l]ecomes

extremeLy

important

to do anything

possible

to shift

the

odds in

your

favour.

Despatching

an

assassin

to eliminate

a

rival

general, promising

any

ally riches

and

then double-crossing

them,

and

launching

a

surprise attack

on

an

unprepared foe; all

these

options

and

manv,

many more

need

to

be

considered carefully

However,

the

use

oftreachercus tactics

needs

to

be

timed to

perfection.

Ifan opponent

gets

any

hint ofwhat

you

are

pianning, they

may be able

to turn

the tables on

you. In addition,

dirty tricks

need

to

be used

with

discretion;

such ploys

should only

be used to

win

a

battle, rather than

simply

for

the

sheerjoy ofoutwitting

an

opponent.

Generals that forget this

will

quickly gain

a

rcputation

for skulduggery

and

double

dealing;

opponents

will expect

them to carry

out dirty t

cks and will

be

prepared for them, while

allies will

be

hard to

come

by

and

constantly

wary ofbeing

stabbed

in

the

back.

A

general

rnust be

willing

to

use rvhatever

tactics

are needed to

win, but must do

so

with

restraint

and a

certain

amount of low

cunning ifthey wish

to

be successful.

Thc

Dnkwald

Betrayal

A

famous

example

of'how

a

cunning

general

can achieve

a

stunning

victorJr

against apparently

unbeatable

odds

can be

found in the

form ofa black mark upon

the recent

history

ofthe Empile.

This

moment ofinfamy

is

known

as the

Drakwald

Betrayal. It

is

dilficult

to flnd

a

single

conflict that more

perfectly

shows

how

low

cunning and

a

rvillingness to do almost

arrything

can

lead

to

a

victory

against the

odds.

The battle

came

about after

the Emperor Karl

Franz

brokered

an

alliance

with

the

High

Elves led

by Prince

Therynian to deleat

a

marauding warband of

Drakwald

Beastmen,

whose

raids

and attacks

had done

much to

damage

trade

between

the

Empire and Ulthuan.

Karl Franz led

his army to

a

prearranged point

and

awaited

the

arrival ofhis

Elven aliies, Iittle suspecting

that $'ord ofthe

pact

lrod

..n.l,ed ihe

ears

ofa

Dark

ELf

Dreadlord known

as

Draxor Bloodscar.

As

the

glittering

hosts

of

Prince Thennian marcl,ed

to

meet

their allies from

the

Empire,

they were

suddenll, ambushed by

Bloodscar

and

his follolvers.

Caught conplercll br surprise,

the High

Eh,es rvere

surrounded

on

rhe

road and

massacred.

As

black tletched bolts iell

in

a

hissing rain, the

High Eh,es

attempted to lorm

Iines and

6ght back, but

noi

one

of them managed

ro escapecl

Bloodscar's trap.

Ilost

Dark Ehes u'ould

hal'e been

satisfied

r

irh ihis rich

harr e.t oi death, but

the

cruel-hearted Dreadlord's ambirions

knerv

no bounds,

and

he

s

anted

n-,ore.

Re:rliring that Karl Franz

tould

hale no

idea

ofthe hideous

fate

that

had

befallen

his

allies, Bloodscar ;onceive.l

ofa loul

plan rhai

toul.l allol

him

to

cleleat

the

Emperor's army

and

that

ofthe

r

ile Beasrmer

a.

trl1.

Having his attendan: :or..r.s:es

cast

a gLamour

on his tblioilers, Bloodscar

was able

to disguise

his

army

so

that the|

appeared

to

be dre High

Eh

rhat

Karl Franz

\\'as

expecting to

rendevous

with.

Arriving

on the battleheld,

rhe

Dark Elles

at

hrst lbughr

aloogside the

unsuspecting Empire army

against the

Drakrvald

Beastmen.

-lt

a

prearranged signal,

the

Dark Elves dropped

their disguises

and

turned on

the

Empire uarriors uho had, unril then, believed

them

the

very

staunchest

ofallies.

Caught entire\.

bi

surprise,

the Empire

forces

s'ere

driven from

the

field in

a

welter ofbloodletting

Indeed,

only

the staunch

and skilful

leadership

ofKarl

Franz held

the

Empire force together

long

enough to

ensure

that

a

retreat did

not

become a massacre.

Bloodscar

then turned his attention

to the

somewhat

confounded

Beastmen

army, cutting

them down

before

they could

recover

their

wits. O\,Er

the

course

ofa

week,

Bloodscar

had defeated

three

enemy

armies,

and

he

returned to Naggaroth

at

We've included rules for Victory Tokens

that

keep

track

ofrvho

is

and

can be

used as

bribcs, for lrcachcry Cards that allow

players

to carry out all kinds

ofdirty

tricks,

and

for

mercenaries

that

can be

hired

try

players

to

frght alongsidc

their main

army.

These

new

rules

mean

that

a

game

using

these

rules

will

be

very different to

any

other battle

you

have

lirught

before.

For

a

start,

you

uili

havc

to

contend

with

tqo or

more

opponents,

rather

than

just

onc.

Whcn

your

tLlrn

comes

around,

picking

the

right opponent in

each

phase

is

vital.

is

to attack

as

doing this

may

simply

encourage

them

to make alliances to

take

You

will also need

to learn

to

keep

an

eye

on who

is

doing

the best

in

the

battle,

and concentrate

1,our

efforts on bringing them down

two and

not

It's

one

of

the best

things

we

get

to do

month

in

White

Dwarf

is

play

a

Battle

with Triumph

O Treachery

this month,

we

embarked

on a

extravaganza. Of course,

finding

willing to

ioin

the melee

in

parts

was easy enough. We

recruited

members

of

the White

Dwarf

team

Andrew, Matt and

myself) and one

of Duncan

Rhodes

regular

contributor to the

magazine,

seen

his

glorious

Bretonnian

in the

August

white

Dwarf's

Armchair

With our

protagonists

chosen,

all we

needed to do

was

work out

what

the fight

would be all

about.

Triumph

6

Treachery is

brimming

over with tales

of

vicious

multi-way battles,

so we

scoured the

timeline

and stories

for

ideas.

Erik,

our

photographer,

set the battlefield

with

a

witchfate

Tor,

Dreadstone Blight and

plenty

of mysterious

forests on it.

Thus

the

overgrown ruins

of

the Valley

of Sorcery

were born:

a

place

of

potent

magical

energy

which

five competing armies

are

fighting tooth

and nail to

capture and

claim

for

their

own.

Upon

the

boods

a

battle where none can

be

trusted and betrayal

lurks

in

every shadow there can

be

only one vlctor.



IilUMPH

[]ID

IREACHERY:

HllII'

I

WIIRIIS

Adam:

There

is

quite

a

lot that separates a

game

of

Triumph

E Treachery

from

an

ordinary

game

of Warhammer, so

before

we

get

into our battle report it's worth

explaining some

of

the

basics.

When

you select your almy in Triumph

6

Treachery,

each

player

is

allocated

an

extra

100

points

for

every

500

points

in their

force

that they

can

either spend

on

mercenary units,

or

keep

as

Victory

Tokens

to

use

in

the

game

(more

on

this later).

We

decided to use

1500

point

forces, so each

of us

gets

a

free

300

points

to spend

in

this

way.

These

mercenaries

can

be

chosen

from

any army

book: it's

just

a

matter of

selecting

a character

to lead them and

then choosing regiments,

war

machines or

monsters freely

from

the

army list. I'm

taking

Lizardmen mercenaries for

my

Dark

Elves, so

I've

picked

a

Skink Chief

as

the

character,

and then

my

favoudte unit: a

Salamander Hunting Pack.

As

you

can see

in my

army list on the right, ['ve not spent

all my

points

on

mercenaries,

which will let

me

start the

game

with

a brass coin,

worth

50

Victory

Points.

Playing

a

multi-player

game

of

Warhammer

presents

situations

you

don't normally

have

in

a

two-player game

(how

do you

fight

a

combat with several

sides,

what

happens if

you 'accidentally'

hit

multiple

foes

with

a

stone thrower,

etc).

Triumph

g

Treachery

solves all

of

these

issuesr

first

off

the order in which

the

players

act is

randomly

determined every turn.

Each

player

is assigned

a Player Card

and,

at

the

start

of each

turn these

are

shufl'led and

the top

card is

drawn

-

the

player

whose

card

comes

up first

takes

the first turn.

Once

they

are

done, the next

card is

drawn

and

that

player

goes..

.

and

so

on.

This

means

you

can

never

quite

iudge

when

you

are

going

to

get

your go

(it's

even

possible

to

go

last in

one

turn

and

first

in

the next,

or

vice

versa).

Another important

element to the

game

is

the

way

in which

you

fight

and interact with

the other

players

in the

game.

You

must

nominate

a single opponent in each

phase

of

your

turn to be

your

enemy

and

you

can

only

act against

that

player's

army

(so

you

ignore

any'neutral' units completely).

Imagine

you're

giving

orderc to

your

men

to

'focus

on

the

Ogres',

if that helps.

Choosing

the

'right'opponent

each

phase

is

a

big tactical aspect

of

the

game;

you

need

to make

sure

you're

choosing the

place

where

you

can

do

(or

avoid) the

most

damage

-

this

is always

the

source

of

lots

of

wheedling and bartering

between

players

as

they strive to avoid being

targeted.

You can choose a

different

opponent in

each

phase

-

you

can choose

to

charge

one opponent in the Movement

phase,

then

fire

at a

different opponent in

the Shooting

phase,

for

example

-

so

with

a

bit

of

cunning

you

can

target the wrath of

your wardors in the right place

each

turn.

A

significant addition to the

game

are

the

Treachery

Cards

that

each

player

draws

throughout the

game.

These

simulate the

intrigue

and duplicity

of war

by helping

your

warriors in battle or hindering the

enemy. There's a

huge

variety

of cards and

effects,

from

Sabotage,

which

prevents

a

war

machine from firing,

to Oil

Slick,

which

forces

all

participants

in

a

fight to re.roll

successful

hits.

Finally,

Triumph

E Treachery uses

Victory

Tokens

(see

the sidebarl, and the

player

that

has

the most

of

these

at

the end of

the

game

is

the

winner. At

the end

of each

phase,

if

you

have

scored

any

Victory

Points,

these

are

converted into Victory

Tokens

and added to

your

paychest.

In

addition to

scoring

points

for killing things,

there

are

also bonus tokens issued

each

phase

for

killing

an

enemy

general,

captudng

banners and even

a

bonus

50

every time you win

a

combat.

Additionally,

if one

player

earns

more Victory

Tokens

in

a

phase

than

any

other, they

get

a

bonus

brass coin.

Throughout

the

game

you

can

use

Victory

Tokens

like cunency by

bribing

other

players

(or

their mercenaries) not to

attack

you

and to activate certain

Treachery Cards.

Just

don't spend too

many

-

the winner

is

the

player

who

has

the

most

at

the end

of

the

game.

so he

could

monsters, but

Andre\,r'

used the Alliance

card

to

force

him to

choose

Duncan

instead.

Duncan,

who

felt rightfully

threatened by

Adam's aggression,

bribed

the mercenary

Salamanders

(or

not to attack him,

but the

to finish off Duncan's

remaining Bretoni ans while

at the act on.

Andrew:

Well, even though

I came

dead

last,

I

had tremendous amounts

of

fun

throughout the

game.

Throughout

the

day,

we

never

stopped

enjoying ourselves, with

high

spirits from start to finish.

Duncan:

I agree,

it

was

loads

of fun

-

lots

of duplicity

and

double-dealing

kept

us

all

on

our

toes

throughout the

game

and

created some memorable moments,

such

as

when Matt

promised

that the High

Elves and Eretonnians would stick

together, only to start dispelling

my spells

in lhe first lurn

{paid

off by

les'brass

coins

no less),

Ieaving

me

high and

dry.

Andrew:

I

really

like

that

element

of

the

game

loo. There

was a

lot

of

tongue-in-

cheek diplomacy,

as

we

used

physical

bribes

(coins

or cards)

to win temporary

alliances,

and other

times simply offered

threats

or

promises

to

keep things going

the

way we

wanted them to. It added

a

strong

element of

human

interaction to the

proceedings,

with lots

of laughs and

banter

-

more

so

than even

a

normal

game

of

Warhammer

I

can

see

Triumph 6

Treachery

being

a

great

way

to

play

warhammer with

a

close-knit

gaming

club,

where friendly rivalries

and

grudges

already

exist,

Adam:

That's

exactly

how

I feel about

it

too. Triumph

E Treachery

is a real social

occasion. In

addition

to

presenting

a

tactical

challenge, it

has

the

chicanery

and

silliness

of Treachery

Cards

throwing

plans

out of kilter. That certainty

that no matter

what

promises

players

make or what

they

offer,

everyone

is

out

for

themselves.

Andrew:

It's

certainly not

a

team

game.

As

we

found, Adam, alliances

are

only

fleeting, and if

I

hadn't frustrated

your

attacks

on

my

flank with

Treachery Cards

in

the early

game,

we

might

have

been

fighting

each

other

much

sooner

Those

Treachery Cards

add

an

interesling

dynamic

to the

way

the

game

is

played.

Holding the Ancient

Enmity card

meant

that

I

could

attack the High

Elves safe

in

the knowledge that,

if

you

tried to break

our'accord',

I

could stop

you

for

a

turn.

Duncan:

Yes I

love

the moments when

you

have

the

perfect

card

to activate

a

cunning

plan,

and

you're

iust

waiting for

the right time to

use

it. when Adam's

Sorceress

killed

my

Trebuchet with

magic,

I

was

able to

use

my

may

while Adam

didn't

have enough
