Traps and Hazards represent events that may be triggered when a unit enters a piece of dangerous terrain during a battle. The event may affect one or more units and may be temporary or last until the end of the battle. Whether a battle uses these cards or the standard MWWBKs rules for dangerous terrain is defined in the scenario.
[I made cards for all of these encounters, but you could simply create a table and roll dice instead]
Other encounter decks are planned and will be published once the relevant scenario is played.
