The Fracture Begins Now
"Zeta Halo is breaking apart. The fight for what remains begins."
The Fracture Series is our newest Competitive Play Circuit, a three month campaign spanning three single day events, timed to coincide with the Battle for Zeta Halo wave hitting tabletops this fall. Each event tells the next chapter of the campaign, with a singular gamemode built around what's actually happening on the ring, so you'll know exactly what you're building toward and can bring a fireteam sharpened for the fight ahead.
Show up, prove yourself, and stack points across all three events. When the ring finally settles and the dust clears, only one commander will be crowned the Fracture Series Champion.
Strongholds - August 24
Sitrep:The ring is fractured, and both sides need a foothold. Before any offensive can begin, you need ground to call your own. Secure your territory, hold the line, and establish your base of operations.
Players will compete to capture three static objective areas on the map and hold them against the opposition.
Scenario Rules: At the end of each round, score the VPs shown on each VP Marker if you have a model in the cube with the marker but no enemy models in the cube. VP Objective Markers may not be picked up or moved.
Victory Conditions: This game will last up to 6 rounds, or until one player reaches 18 Victory Points.
Event Info: Event will consist of three matches, with each match lasting for 45 minutes per. See the official event page here,
Big Team Battle, Doubles
Attrition - September 21
Sitrep: With bases secured, it's time to muster. Team up with a fellow commander and lead a full scale assault against the opposition on the double mat battlefield. This is the largest, loudest fight of the campaign, eliminate the entire enemy force before they eliminate yours.
Teams are built to 500 points, split evenly at 250 points per player. Each team may only field a single Legend, so partnered players will need to coordinate their lists rather than doubling up on the same hero.
Scenario Rules: When a model is killed, it is left in place with a Downed status token instead of being removed. Downed models may be revived by a friendly model in the same cube taking an Auxiliary action, returning to play with Wound Markers equal to half their Health stat (rounded down) and all Energy Shields depleted. An enemy model in the same cube as a Downed model may instead take an Auxiliary action to permanently remove them from the game.
Starting round 5, the available playspace shrinks to the central 6x6 cubes, and down to the central 4x4 cubes at the start of round 6. Any model caught outside the shrinking playspace is immediately and permanently removed from the game.
Victory Conditions: Last team standing wins. Victory is achieved when only one player has live models remaining, all enemy models either permanently removed or Downed in any combination.
Event Info: Event will consist of two matches, with each match lasting for 65 minutes per. See the official event page here,
VIP - October 19
Sitrep: The major assaults are over and the opposing force is decimated. Now it's time to finish the job. Protect your Very Important Person at all costs, and take the fight to theirs. This is where the campaign ends, and where Zeta Halo is finally claimed.
Scenario Rules:At the start of Round 1, each player randomly selects a member of their Fireteam to be their VIP. That model gains +2 to its Health stat and must remain on the board for the start of Round 1, it cannot be pulled off board through Special Orders like Hot Drop. If a VIP is killed, the opponent scores 4 Victory Points. No other units score points if killed. If your VIP falls, the next friendly model to respawn becomes the new VIP.
Victory Conditions: The game ends immediately when one player reaches 20 Victory Points, or at round 8, in which the player with the most points wins.
Event Info: Event will consist of three matches, with each match lasting for 45 minutes per. See the official event page here,
