SECRET AGENDAS?

At the start of each event in the series, players will be given a set of 5 Secret Agendas and 1 Prime Agenda. These are scored and ranked completely separately from each individual game and have no impact on the placings at the event, however they form part of the overall narrative of the series as well as providing a way for attendees to build their ranking from one event to the next. Some agendas are worth more than others due to the nature of their objective.
 

Agendas will allow the team with tactical advantage (most agendas completed) to roll on the tactical edge table to give them a leg up
in the next mission.

At the start of each game before the first turn is decided, each player picks a secret agenda from those they have remaining which they can attempt to fulfil in this game. At the end of the game players reveal their agenda and score if appropriate. The agenda is then discarded. For example, a secret agenda may be ‘Investigate Strategic Locations: have one friendly unit within 6 inches of each table corner on the last turn of the game’ Achieving this generates a number of credits as indicated in brackets next to the Agenda.

 

Prime Agenda’s are much harder to achieve and can only be achieved once per event. These generate five credits but may be scored in any round.

 

Throughout the event players accumulate credits which form a separate credits and agendas have their own award however they do impact the overall Master of Vardis Award. There will also be a Secret Agenda leader board. This leader board is refreshed once per year, allowing players to build up their score over the course of multiple events.
