Breakthrough Scenario
BREAKTHROUGH is a Blood & Plunder Scenario featured in the Core Rulebook. The Attacker tries to push deeper into enemy territory. The Defender must stop them!
There are 3 versions of the scenario:
- LAND: The Attacker attempts to get at least one unit completely through the Defender’s deployment zone

- SEA: The Attacker deploys anywhere 24″ or more away from the Defender who is positioned on an impassible edge of the board representing a coastline and must get past the Attacker’s ship in hopes of escaping to freedom.
