Once again the expansionist forces of Chaos became embroiled in a life and death battle in the Bretonnian homeland. This confrontation was a direct result of the Khorne army of Chaos having obliterated the ambushing Bretonnians led by the Duke of Quenelles himself. Having narrowly escaped death himself, he returned to his castle to plan his next move - with yet enough distance between the Chaos horde and his domain, the Duke was planning an action that would have the best possible chance of succeeding to route the enemy once and for all. If he did not soon eliminate this threat, the Duke could well expect to receive word from the King himself...and the King would not be impressed.

It was rash and bold, but it might be exactly what was needed. Succeed or not, at least it would buy the Duke time to gather his army in preparation for a final frontal assault on the invaders. But for now, the plan was to hit the forces of Khorne from all directions using the high mobility of the knight's mounts and their knowledge of the terrain to their advantage. With scouting parties reporting that the Chaos general was proceeding South-West through the Massif Orcal mountains to the pass north of the village of Chinon at the edge of the Barrows of Cuileux. The Baron of Gien was given command to carry the Duke's plan, and he promptly set out for Chinon to meet the mighty enemy host...

Surprise in the Forest

Background: A small force of Bretonnians and Dwarfs meet to investigate recent romours of a Dark elf army near the coast of Couronne. This force is said to scout the area before a large force can lan and if possible, ambush or sabotage forces or defensive postions. On the way, the combined forces of Dwarfs and Bretonnians are ambushed by this force which advanced faster than thought. The Bretonninas, lead by Duke Vincent, have to reach the end of the table with at least a Unit strength of 10 (but two separate Regiments) to warn the kingdom and destroy 40% of the elves or kill 80% of elves in 5 rounds so this force can not be of any harm anymore.
