None shall pass.
A reminder of the rules:
In each game two of the invading factions face off each other with 1500 points. These should meet the limits of 1-3 characters (no lords) 2+ core, 0-3 special and 0-1 rare, but can be drawn from any of the armies present in the faction.
The High Elves can have a 1850 point force to defend the pass.
The winner is the army that gets 500 points or more through the pass. The High Elves win if neither attacker completes their mission.
If both invaders complete their goal, then one force can claim victory if they have 50% more forces through the pass than their opponent. Otherwise it is a draw between the invading factions.
The rules for a three way game are based on priority turns. Each force rolls a dice, the highest chooses to go first, second or third. The next highest then makes their choice, and the lowest is left with whatever slot remains. Each force then completes a full turn (move, magic, shoot, close combat) in order.
Magic. The casting force gets a 2 dice pool as normal. Each dispelling force get 1 of the dispel pool, plus whatever they generate. When a spell is cast, each dispelling force decide how many dice they are to use to dispel. The force with the highest dispel have their turn, with destroy scrolls, dispel scrolls etc. outbidding any number of dice. In the event of a tie, a dice off is used to determine who tries to dispel.
The spoils of war: The side that controls the least territory from round 2 must deploy their entire army first. Then the next lowest, finally the side with the most territory deploys last.
The price of failure: If any invading faction lose both of their games, then in round 4 they will play a last stand game or be eliminated from the campaign with players forced to amalgamate into other existing factions. Note that they can get away with a draw and a defeat.
