Roll a dice each: the highest scoring player will set up the battlefield, but it is his opponent who will choose on which side to deploy his troops. The first player will have to deploy on the
opposite side. The total approximate value of your force must be agreed on with your opponent before the game starts. The player with the highest total Point Value deploy first; if the total is
exactly the same roll a dice and the lowest scoring will have to deploy his first Character. Players then take turns deploying one Character at a time, anywhere you like as long as they are within
5u from the table edge of a player own side. Now put all corresponding cards and 5 Action Tokens in front of you and let the battle begin!
