Prioritised Efficiency If your Army Faction is ^^**Leagues of Votann^^**, ^^**Leagues of Votann^^** units from your army have one of two abilities: Hostile Acquisition or Fortify Takeover (see below). During the battle, which ability those ^^**Leagues of Votann^^** units have will change depending on how many Yield points (YP) you currently have:
- At the start of the battle, your units have Hostile Acquisition until the start of your next Command phase.
- At the end of your Command phase, if you have fewer than 7YP, your units have Hostile Acquisition until the start of your next Command phase.
- At the end of your Command phase, if you have 7YP or more, your units have Fortify Takeover until the start of your next Command phase.
**Hostile Acquisition**
- Each time a model in this unit makes an attack that targets an enemy unit within range of one or more objective markers, add 1 to the Hit roll.
- You can re‑roll Advance and Charge rolls made for this unit.
**Fortify Takeover**
- Each time a model in this unit makes an attack that targets an enemy unit, if this unit is within range of one or more objective markers you control, add 1 to the Hit roll.
- Each time an attack targets this unit, if the Strength characteristic of that attack is greater than this unit’s Toughness characteristic and this unit is not a Vehicle, subtract 1 from the Wound roll.
**Yield Points**
At the end of each player’s Command phase, you gain 1YP if you control one or more objective markers within your deployment zone, and, from the second battle round onwards, you gain 1 additional YP for each of the following conditions you satisfy:
You control one or more objective markers not within your deployment zone.
You control two or more objective markers not within your deployment zone.
You control more objective markers than your opponent.
In your turn, YP gained in this way are always gained before checking which ability ^^**Leagues of Votann**^^ units from your army have.
Whenever a rule allows you to spend YP, reduce the number of YP you have by that amount (your YP cannot go below 0), otherwise you cannot use that rule.
Scouts Some units have ‘Scouts x"’ listed in their abilities. If every model in a unit has this ability, then at the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins, it can make a Normal move of up to x", with the exception that, while making that move, the distance moved by each model in that unit can be greater than that model's Move characteristic, as long as it is not greater than x".
DEDICATED TRANSPORT models can make use of any Scouts x" ability listed in their abilities, or a Scouts x" ability that a unit that starts the battle embarked within that DEDICATED TRANSPORT model has (provided only models with this ability are embarked within that Dedicated Transport model), regardless of how that embarked unit gained this ability (e.g. listed in their abilities, conferred by an Enhancement or by an attached Character, etc.).
A unit that moves using this ability must end that move more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models. If both players have units that can do this, the player who is taking the first turn moves their units first.
Deadly Demise Some models have 'Deadly Demise x' listed in their abilities. When such a model is destroyed, roll one D6 before removing it from play (if such a model is a TRANSPORT, roll before any embarked models disembark). On a 6, each unit within 6" of that model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by 'x' (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").
