Sustained Assault Occasionally, an army will possess overwhelming superiority in numbers, with wave upon wave of its troops hurling themselves forward. The mission will explain how and where to set up units when they arrive from Reserve – typically within a short distance of a specified edge of the battlefield. Note that if a unit placed into Reserve is embarked within a TRANSPORT, they will arrive when their transport does, not separately (if rolling, make a single roll for the transport and the units embarked in it). On a 3+, the unit being rolled for arrives from Reserve. If the mission does not specify when units arrive, roll for each unit at the end of your second Movement phase (and at the end of each of your Movement phases thereafter) – this is called a Reserve roll. The mission will usually state when the units placed in Reserve arrive on the battlefield – this is typically at the end of a particular Movement phase. If a mission uses Reserves, it will detail which units in your army start the game in Reserve – these units are not deployed with the rest of your army. Reserves Reserves are forces which are not directly present at the start of an engagement but are available as reinforcements during battle. The first model in each unit must be placed exactly where the unit’s setup marker was placed, and the entire unit must be set up wholly within the player’s own deployment zone. Once this has been done, the Defender then reveals which marker corresponds to which unit, setting up the appropriate models as they do so.
Once the Defender has set up all their markers, the Attacker deploys all their forces. When the Defender deploys their army, they set up the markers instead of their models. The Defender must write down which unit each marker represents and keep this information secret from his opponent. Each marker needs to be distinct (for example by having a different number) so it can correspond to a specific unit. You do not need any markers for units that will start the battle embarked on a TRANSPORT, only a marker for the transport itself. If a mission uses Concealed Deployment, the Defender will need a set-up marker for each unit in their army that they intend to start the battle deployed on the battlefield. Concealed Deployment In some battles, commanders have had time to conceal the positions of their forces from the enemy.
