Ok! Here's how the three missions will work:

Battle 1: Table Quarters
Winter winds are hampering missle fire! All guess weapons scatter an addition D6 in a random direction for their initial hit and roll normally after that. All missle fire ranges are reduced by 4". (magical missle fire such as magic missle spells are unaffected by this)
-- 1 Objective point for each table quarter you hold (uncontested) at the end of the battle.
-- 1 point for each 500pts you kill more than your opponant
-- 1 Win point for winning the battle (more table quarters than your opponant)

Battle 2: Ice Rink
Opponants are fighting for control of the icy center of the field. A 12" circle around the center of the field is ICE. Units passing through the ice can't march (units that can 'always march' are immune to this effect). In addition to that, units attemping a charge that passes over any part of the ice roll a D6. On a roll of a 1 the unit loses it's footing on the ice and the charge fails. The unit stops at the edge of the ice or doesn't move if it is already on the ice. Flying units are immune to the ice rules.
-- 4 Objective points for controlling the center of the table (a 12" circle)
-- 1 point for each 500pts you kill more than your opponant
-- 1 Win point for winning the battle (holding the center uncontested)

Battle 3: Table Quarters
Winter winds are hampering missle fire! All guess weapons scatter an addition D6 in a random direction for their initial hit and roll normally after that. All missle fire ranges are reduced by 4". (magical missle fire such as magic missle spells are unaffected by this)
-- 1 Objective point for each table quarter you hold (uncontested) at the end of the battle.
-- 1 point for each 500pts you kill more than your opponant
-- 1 Win point for winning the battle (more table quarters than your opponant)

NOTE: For table quarter missions, if you wipe your opponant before turn 6 you claim all quarters. If you kill them ON turn 6 you only claim quarters your units are in.

Players win the day by having the most total points!
(points are objective points + win points + kill points)
Tiebreaker 1 is who has more Wins.
Tiebreaker 2 is who has more Objective points.
Tiebreaker 3 is strength of opponants.
