Scouting Mini-Game | Postcards from the Front
The mini game devised by Tony Bath involves two armies in the field engaging each other and using mounted scouts checking on territory with a grid-like board where five models are set out to check for enemy disposition based off of contact made. Each scout is assigned one task, such as traversing or preventing movement from being taken without permission while gaining access to an opposing main force's position in order to gain information about them and their strategy. The game can be played with a 16"x20" Local Terrai Map created for full-scale conflicts and may work better on hex maps instead of grids, but the board is set up like one anyway based off contact being made between two armies engaging each other during gameplay.
