Background in the World of Valon

Hard fighters and seasoned troops the Von Hopp are currently in the Witchlands and have notched up a number of very effective means of destroying Zombies where inferior troops have perished.
THE VON HOPP - SLAUGHTERLOO
VON HOPP CHASSUERS

TOP BRASS – COLONEL EMILE VON HOPP
There is a name that makes a shiver pass through the spines and floppy ears of all Burrovians, an officer to be feared, whose own country folk fear as much as the enemy does; his name is Emile Von Hopp. Originally a freedom fighter with the resistance to the Elvish invasion he learned how to distill terror from his foes. After being captured and tortured Emile agreed to switch sides and then sold out his former allies in the resistance. He com-mands the Von Hopp battalions, including the Chassuers and the Light Companies.
FLINTLOQUE
Emile is a small rabbit and is Veteran / Elite / Guerilla armed with a sword of exquisite quality. He is a dirty fighter and may once per scenario REVERSE any melee result that is not in his favour (I.e. A round he loses, he may reverse it and inflict the resulting wounds which would have been his upon his opponent). He also gives his Section an automatic additional +1 to Initiative each Turn. However he is hated by some Burrovian solider's and as a result the owning player must roll 1D10 at the start of each scenario for EVERY rabbit of Raw or Average class in Emile’s own section. On a result of 1 that Rabbit will attempt to shoot Emile in the back as soon as he can when play commences. What Emile then does to him...who knows!
He costs 43 Points with this profile.
SLAUGHTERLOO
(SPECIAL UNIT OFFICER) (50 POINTS)
‘DON’T YOU DIE ON ME!’: Colonel Von Hopp may only lead a Unit of his own Chassuers or Light Company in battle. Through a combination of fear and respect his troops will IGNORE the effects of the first attack upon the Unit even if it causes casualties. The attack is nullified AFTER being made by the enemy, all attack points cancelled and the Unit’s current status is also unaffected.
