THE GUNS OF NULN title image.

Artwork of an Empire city.Nuln, the former seat of power in the Empire, is now the home of the infamous Imperial Gunnery School. Veteran gunsmiths work tirelessly day in and day out to manufacture, maintain, and test the firepower of the Imperial artillery trains. The power of Nuln firepower has proved itself on the battlefields of the Old World time and time again. Woe be to any army that attempts to take on the forces of Nuln on their home turf!

ARMIES

Players must decide who will play as the Defender (the Empire) and who will play as the Attacker. Then, they should choose their armies to an agreed points total and use Warhammer army lists. However, the Defender can use two-thirds the number of points as the Attacker. For example, 3,000 points of Attackers would face 2,000 points of Defenders.

BATTLEFIELD

Players should use the standard battlefield setup (p. 2 of the Warhammer rulebook).

LENGTH OF GAME

This game lasts 6 turns, or until one side surrenders.

SPECIAL RULES

Guns of the Walls. Despite being outnumbered in troops, the Defenders have the advantage of artillery support from the walls of their settlement. On the walls of their settlement (just off the Defender's table edge) is one Great Cannon for every full 600 points of Attackers. For example, if 3,000 points of Attackers are storming Nuln, the Defender gets 5 Great Cannons on his walls. These weapons work just like Great Cannons on the battlefield, with the exception that they are inaccessible by the enemy, and they measure from the Defender's table edge to determine range. Ready, aim, fire!
