BATTLE PHASE
1. Calculate the Force Total for your Orks.
Ork Force Total = # of Ork Figures + Modifier & Relic card Bonuses.
You may play appropriate Event cards to increase your Orks Force Total.
2. Determine the Force Total for the Foe.
3. Each side adds 1D6x10 to their Total. These are the Battle Rolls.
4. Determine the winner. The side with the higher modified Total is the Winner.
5. Roll 1D6. This is the Casualty Roll. This many Orks are killed.
Repeat the above 6 steps until the Foe loses or you choose to Flee the Battle.
If the Foe loses, put the Foe card into your Fana Pile.
A Foe card in a Fana pile is worth Fana = 1/5 of its Force.
FLEEING BATTLE
You may Flee the Battle, but you automatically take 1D6 casualties.
ORK CASUALTIES DURING BATTLE
For every casualty, discard one of your Ork figures.
Also Discard all cards attached to a discarded figure.
If you are reduced to zero population, you lose the game.
HEALING PHASE
Roll 1D6 for every Ork (with an attached card or Blood Token) killed in battle this turn.
These are Healing Rolls.
On a roll of 6+ the Ork is not killed.
For every Ork killed in Battle put a Blood Token on a surviving Ork.
(You don’t get to do this if you Fled)
The Ork with the blood Token has +1 Force.
An Ork can only ever have 1 Blood Token.
