How to Use This Expansion
This expansion adds a new Hunt Mission to be included in any Nova Aetas Renaissance Campaign of the Core Game or any Expansion.
If you decide to use the Minotaur in your Campaign, add the Event Card found in this box to the Core Game Event Card Deck.
The Minotaur is a Hunt Mission and follows all the rules for this type of Mission, described in the Core Rulebook of Nova Aetas Renaissance.
Optional Rule: Bounty
Instead of waiting to draw the Event Card "Savage Fury," at any point in the Main Campaign you can mark the title of this Side Mission in the Active Side Mission Slot and play it as if you had drawn the Event Card "Savage Fury."
Components
- 1 Minotaur miniature
- 5 Mission Cards
- 1 Mission Envelope
- 1 "Savage Fury" Event Card
- 16 Prey Action Cards
- 4 Reward Cards
- 1 Minotaur Activation Token
Mission Cards
The Mission Cards are named "Minotaur" and carry the Hunt Mission code M1. The Mission Envelope is labelled M1.
The "Savage Fury" Event Card reads:
"The Fauns deployed their deadliest weapon! A giant with the head of a Taurus wiped out any opponent that stood before it. It's up to you to deal with it!"
"You can mark the M1 Side Mission "Minotaur" in the Active Side Missions."
New Rules
Large Models
Some Models occupy more than a single Battlefield Square. These Models are called Large Models. These Models occupy only a single Square during movement. In other words, while moving, a Large Model is considered as a normal Model, and then returns to occupying more Squares the moment the movement ends.
When players need to determine the movement of a Large Model, they choose any of the Squares occupied by the Model and count starting from the chosen Square (a normal-sized Model can be used to simulate the movement of the Large Model). When the Large Model finishes its movement, the players place the Model so that the Squares occupied include the Square where it finished its movement.
If placement is not possible because the required Squares (usually 4) are not all available, players refer to the following rules:
- If there are Models occupying the Squares, the Large Model pushes the Models occupying them into adjacent available Squares or the nearest available Square.
- If there are Scenic Elements occupying Squares, place the Large Model in Squares that are available or occupied by other Models. If this is not possible, the Large Model ends its Movement in a Square that allows its placement.
Minotaur is a Large Model which occupies 4 Squares.
Large Models and Area Effects
A Large Model is considered to be targeted by an Attack with the Area Trait if at least one of the Squares it occupies is within the Area of the Attack.
If a Large Model is the target of an Attack with the Area Trait, it suffers only the Effect intended for the target, even if it occupies multiple Squares within the Area.
If a Large Model is not the target of an Attack with the Area Trait and occupies more than one Square within the Area, it suffers the additional Effect only once.
Large Models and Line of Sight
A Large Model always has a valid Line of Sight on all other Models and vice versa.
Components for Black Rose Wars and Rebirth
