All is Dust
When a Wizard is slain all units in and adjacent to the Wizards box take 1 hit, as if from melee. Saves cannot be made.
Ambuscade
Before deployment, select up to 3 non-monstrous creature units to be placed into ambush. Attached Generals can be included in this ambush. These units are deployed off-table. Starting from the Player’s 2nd turn you may try to deploy any off-table troops from ambush. Draw an activation card. Attached generals can redraw.

| 2-4 | The unit is not deployed, remaining off table |
| 5-8 | Deploy the unit in a terrain box (not adjacent to enemy), or out of sight of all enemy |
| 9-10 | Deploy the unit in any terrain box, or out of sight of all enemy |

Frozen Steppes

After both armies are deployed but before the first turn, draw a card. If the card is odd then all water features on the table are frozen. Frozen water features can be crossed, but they do count as rough going.
