Pre-game§12.1

Protocol

Draft: 1 Mission Card and 1 Deployment Card.
Table size, Entry Edges and Zones of Influence.
Terrain (balanced by quarters) and Mission Markers.
Roll-Off: the winner assigns the First Player Marker for Round 1.

Round sequence

Start of Round: STATIONARY, BURROWED → HIDDEN, “Start of the Round” effects.
Phase 1 Movement: Deploy / Move / Disengage / Hold.
Phase 2 Assault: Ranged Attack / Charge / Run / Hold.
Phase 3 Combat: Close Combat Attack (mandatory if Engaged).
Phase 4: markers → VP → end of game → end of round → cleanup → initiative.

The phases§12.3–12.6

Phase 1 · Movement

Move: Leading Model up to Speed; rest In Coherency.
Deploy: from your edge; needs Available Supply; never ends in the enemy Zone of Influence or Out of Coherency.
Disengage: get beyond 1"; no shooting or charging next Assault unless Supply exceeds the Engaged enemies.
Available Supply = Supply Pool − Friendly Supply on the table.
First to Pass → First Player Marker in Phase 2.

Phase 2 · Ranged Attack

Target: Visible, in Range, right tag, not Engaged (or the one Engaging you).
Attack Pool: RoA of models in Range + modifiers + Surge Die.
Hit: ≥ Hit → Armour Pool.
Surge: if the tag matches, that many dice jump to the Damage Pool.
Armour: ≥ Armour is saved; failures → Damage Pool.
Evade (if eligible): ≥ Evade is removed.
Damage: dice × DMG + existing; remove Visible casualties.

Phase 2 · Charge

Declare Ground targets (no LoS needed).
Distance = Speed + 1D6 along the real path.
Success if the Leading Model ends within 1" of all targets; rest: base contact → 1" → Coherency.
Fail: no move, activation ends.

Phase 3 · Combat

Close Ranks (optional): Leading Model up to 3", ending closer.
Fighting Rank (within 1") and Supporting Rank (touching a Fighting Rank model) strike.
Roll like a Ranged Attack, with Combat weapons.
Casualties by Engaged priority (1 → 2 → 3).

Phase 4 · Scoring

Control: sum eligible Supply within 3" of each marker; higher controls; tie = no change.
VP per the mission.
End of game?
End of the Round effects.
Cleanup: remove tokens/markers (except STAY IN PLAY, Damage, Mission Markers and control indicators); refresh cards.
Initiative: fewer VP takes the First Player Marker; tie = Roll-Off.

Casualty removal

Unengaged: at most as many as Visible models; excess damage is lost.
Engaged: 1) not within 1" of enemies, 2) within 1" without contact, 3) in base contact.
Do not break an Engagement if another valid casualty exists.

Templates§12.8

	Blast (BT)	Flamer (FT)
Alignment	Cover as much of the target base as possible	Narrow end flush with the attacker
LoS	From the target base	From the attacker
Surge	= affected models in the Main Unit (no roll)	Same
Spillover	Separate Batch per Unit; no RoA modifiers or Surge	Same

Dispute resolution§12.9

ImportantIf you cannot settle a rule quickly: Roll-Off (2D6), the winner decides how it applies this one time, and play on. Check the rule after the game. It exists to keep the game moving, not as a loophole.
