Setup

Choose a Scenario and build the Battlefeld .

Each player gathers and places a pre-made army ordrafts an army. Figures that cannot be placed in theStarting Zone cannot be used. A single player cannothave more than one o the same Unique card.

For pre-made armies, highest roller places his entire

army rst, then the player to the le t and so on.I drafting an army, players choose an army card andplace the gure(s) in turn:

For a 2-player game , highest d20 roller chooses oneArmy Card, then the other player chooses two, theneach chooses one, in turn, until both Armies arechosen and placed.

For 3 or more players , highest roller chooses oneArmy Card, then the player to the le t chooses one,and so on. The last player chooses two cards. Dra tingone card then goes back around the players in reverseorder until the last chooses two. Continue back and

orth until all Armies are chosen and placed.

Game Turn

The game is played in rounds which consist o 3 turnsor each player. Start the Round Marker on 1 to begin.

1 Place Order Markers .

2 Roll or Initiative .

3 Players take turns one at a time until each playerhas taken 3 turns.

4 Move the Round Marker to the next number.

Order Markers, Initiative & the Turn

Each turn players move and attack with the gures onone Army Card.

Players simultaneously place Order Markers on theircards (may place more than one on a card) in theirorder o activation. X marker is a decoy.

All players roll a d20 or Initiative . The highest rollertakes the rst turn, then play passes to the le t. Tiesare re-rolled.

A player turn consists o 3 actions in this order:

1 Reveal Order Marker .

2 Move gure(s) on the Army Card.

3 Attack with gure(s) on the Army Card.

I the gure(s) on an Army Card have been destroyedearlier in the round, the turn is lost.

Movement

Figures are moved a number o hexes up to theirMove number. Squad gures are moved in any order,one at a time.

Figures may move through riendly gure spacesunless that gure is engaged . Movement through anenemy gure space, or ending a move on an occupiedspace, is not allowed.

Moving UpWhen moving up, the side o each higher level countsas one space, as well as the space landed on. Glyphs and water spaces do not add height. A gure cannotmove up a number o levels equal to or higher than itsHeight number all at once.

FallingMoving down does not add to movement, but you mayfall i moving to any space other than a water space .I a drop is equal to or more than a gures Height,roll one Attack die and take any Wounds a ter moving(no de ense die). I the drop is 10 levels more thanits Height, roll 3 dice. I 20+ levels more, on 1-18(d20) the gure is destroyed.

WaterA gure must end its move when moving to a waterspace rom any other space. When moving rom awater space to a higher land space, the moving up rule applies. Double-based gures may move past onewater space thats between 2 land spaces withoutstopping.

Double-Spaced FiguresWhen moving a double-spaced gure decide whichend to lead with, then move so that the other end

ollows the same spaces the leading end just le t. Themove must end on 2 spaces o the same height.

Overhangs and Tight QuartersOnly gures small enough to do so may move underoverhangs. I moving up onto a low overhang, countnearby support tiles. A gure may not move throughor into a space that it cant t completely into.

Engagement

A gure becomes engaged when it moves adjacent toan opponents gure.

I one gure is on a level equal to or higher than

the height o the other gure, they are not adjacent/engaged. I a ruin is between 2 gures, both guresheights must be higher than the ruin to be engaged.Ruins typically have a height o 6.

A gure may move around a gure with which it isengaged, but as soon as you move away rom it, theopponent may make a passing swipe o one attack die(no de ense die is rolled). I engaged with multipleopponents, each opponent gets to roll an attack die.

Range (do not count extra spaces or higher levels). Agure with a Range o 1 can only attack adjacent spaces.

A gure engaged with one or more gures can only attackthose gures.

A double-space gure can attack rom either space.

Line o SightPlayers must be able to draw a clear Line o Sightbetween the attacking gures Target Point (green dot)and the de enders Hit Zone (red area). Players may onlytouch or move gures on their own turn.

Height AdvantageA gure with their base on a higher level than the other

gure rolls one extra die. I the base o the higher gureis 10 or more levels higher then the height o the lower

gure, the higher gure instead rolls 2 extra dice.
