Level keys to victory
Spearhead:
As the forces of Chaos, you are tasked with landing, at least, fifty percent (50%) of a single fleet. Fleets do not combine and, if more then fifty percent (50%) of each fleet is destroyed, the war is lost. Ships which come into contact with the Hammer of War are considered "have landed".
As the forces of the Imperium, you are tasked with stopping the forces of Chaos from landing upon the Hammer of War. Fleets do not combine.
Landing:
As the forces of Chaos, you are tasked with moving your troops though the corridors of the Space Hulk and towards the Vault.
As the forces of the Imperium, you are tasked with stopping the forces of Chaos from reaching the Vault.
Acquisition:
As the forces of Chaos, you are tasked with keeping the Imperiums forces at bay for four (4) turns. If all units are killed before four (4) turns is up, the war is lost. Once four (4) turns have expired, you are tasked with taking the acquired relics, wargear and gene-seed back to your starting position.
As the forces of the Imperium, you are tasked with killing all the forces of Chaos.
