MILITIA GROUPS

INTRODUCTION

VICTORY

POPULATION TOKENS

THE DECK
Players share a common deck.
There are 3 card types:
L = Leaders
U = Units
E = Events

SETUP
Players are dealt a hand of seven cards.
The youngest player goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 3 phases:
Support Phase
Recruit Phase
Conflict Phase

SUPPORT PHASE
Draw 1 card. 
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

RECRUIT PHASE
You may put unit & leader cards from your hand into play.

CONFLICT PHASE
You may pass or attack with one or more your units.
An unblocked unit does damage to the target population.
Remove population tokens equal to the force of the attacking unit.
Defending units may block.
Compare the Forces of the blocking & blocked units. 
The unit with the smaller force is destroyed (discard).
In case of a tie, both units are destroyed.
Certain Event cards may be played to increase the Force of Units.
A Unit can only receive a Force bonus from one Event card.
Discard Event cards as soon as they are played.

LEADERS
If you have no leaders, you may not attack.
A Leader may give one unit a Force +1 for the duration of the conflict Phase.
A Unit may receive a bonus from only one leader.
