Terrain Notice

You do not need to strictly follow official terrain layouts for your Escalation games — though it's highly advised. The new edition's terrain layouts open up great narrative opportunities and are built to support fair play with line of sight and rules, so using them when you can will give you the best experience.

Before setting up, analyze your mission layout and confirm which pieces count as dense terrain (hinders certain movement) versus light terrain (does not entirely inhibit movement) — getting on the same page here avoids disputes mid-game.

Primary missions are tied to your mission deck's dispositions — use gdmissions.app/11th/matrix to look up which primary missions and cards are associated with your matchup if you don't have physical cards. The official Warhammer app will also display your mission pairings.
