BATTLEFRONT

INTRODUCTION
Card game for 2 players. WWII theme.

THE DECK
Players share a common deck.
The deck contains 1 copy of every card in the card list.

VICTORY
Capture 3 of the 5 Fronts.

THE FRONTS
There are 5 Fronts between the players:
R = Right Flank
CR = Center Right 
C = Center
CL = Center Left
L = Left Flank

SETUP
Use markers to designate the 5 Fronts.

TURN SEQUENCE
Each turn has 3 phases:
1. Logistics Phase
2. Deployment Phase
3. Battle Phase

LOGISTICS PHASE
Each player is dealt 7 cards from the deck.
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. 

DEPLOYMENT PHASE
Players take turns. 
Flip a coin to see who goes first.
Players take turns playing one card from their hand to one of the five Fronts.
In a turn you can assign a maximum of 2 cards to a single Front.
At a single front, you may assign a maximum of:
1 Leader
1 Infantry
1 Plane
1 Tank
1 Artillery
1 Strategy
1 Fortification
Some cards allow you to play an extra card of a certain type at that Front.
If you play a Scout card, you may look at your opponent’s hand.

BATTLE PHASE
Each card has a Force value.
Add up your force value for each Front.
If you have a higher Force than your opponent at a 
Front you gain a Victory Marker (VM) for that Front.
(Use coins for VM)
If you ever have 3 more VP than your opponent at a 
Front, you Capture that Front.
The first player to capture 3 of the 5 Fronts wins the game.
Negated cards do not contribute their Force.
Once a Front is captured, no more cards may be assigned to it.
Maximum hand size is 8 cards. Discard excess cards at end of turn.
