SETUP
As per Scenario.
STACKING
Multiple units may occupy the same Hex.
Friendly Units in the same hex are stacked together.
Units stacked together may have different facings.
Enemy units may be in the same space (Range = 0).
Units get +2 to Attack Rolls at Range =0.
THE CARDS
Players share a common deck.
TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 4 phases:
1. Orders Phase
2. Free Move Phase
3. Opportunity Move Phase
4. Shoot Phase
ORDERS PHASE
Draw 3 cards from your deck.
If your deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
Max hand size = 5 cards.
Discard excess cards.
FREE MOVE PHASE
You may move (or just change the facing) of up to 3 of your Light or Medium tanks.
They may move up to their maximum range.
You may change the facing of a tank at the end of its move.
Artillery pieces can be transported by truck:
A Gun cannot attack the turn it moves or the turn after it
moves by truck.
OPPORTUNITY MOVE PHASE
Play (discard) a Move card to move one of your Tanks.
The move card has a number.
This is the max number of spaces the Tank moves.
Moves can be diagonal or orthogonal.
You may change the facing of the tank at the end of the move.
Special Cards are played during your or your opponent's move phase.
SHOOT PHASE
Any Player may discard an Attack card to have a Tank attack.
(Your opponent may make his attacks first)
The attack card has a number.
This is the maximum range of the attack.
Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal.
Roll 1D6. This is the Attack Roll.
Subtract the Distance to the Target
Subtract the Armor Factor of the Target (Full from Front & 1/2 from side or rear)
Add the Penetration Factor of the attacking unit.
Attack Modifier cards can be played (by both players) to further modify the Attack Roll.
If the final value is 1 or more the attack destroys the target.
Your opponent may play a defense card to negate your attack.
Heavy ATG's & Tank Killers with no turrets can only
attack out of the direction they are facing.
If you attacked a unit but did not kill it, you may play a Damage card on it.
Penetration Rule: A tank with a penetration Factor less than the Armor factor of
the tank it is attacking cannot kill it with a Frontal shot (This does
not apply to at Point Blank Range)
