THE DECK
Players share a common deck. 

CARD VERSATILITY
Each card can be used in up to 3 ways:
--- As a Unit 
--- To Attack
--- As a Special Event

UNIT TYPES
Each card will list 1 type of Unit. 
There are 4 types of Military Units: 
--- Infantry
--- Vehicles
--- Artillery
--- Air
In addition to these Units there are Intel cards. 
These Intel cards do not have the Unit Function.
Intel cards will list an Attack and an Event, or 2 Events.  
Cards being used as Units are kept face-up on the table in
Front of the controlling player. 
Cards put into play as units are said to be Deployed. 

ATTACKS
The Attack function of a card will specify attacker type and target type. 
When a card is being used to attack, you must have the 
Appropriate type of Unit in play that can make the Attack. 
The Attack Targets either the opponent’s Base or a specific 
Type of Unit that the opponent has in play. 
As a result of the Attack, the Attack card is discarded and the 
Target unit is discarded, or if the Base was attacked, the target 
Player will gain 1 Damage for each Unit that attacked.  
The attacking Unit(s) remain in play. 

SPECIAL EVENTS
Each card describes a Special Event. 
Most of these are played in your Event Phase, but some are meant 
To be played at other times, even during an opponent’s turn. 
In general, Event cards are discarded immediately after being played. 

SETUP
Shuffle the Deck. 
The biggest War Monger goes first.
Play proceeds clockwise.  
The first player is dealt 1 card. 
The second player is dealt 2 cards and so on. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 5 Phases:
--- Logistics Phase
--- Deploy Phase
--- Attack Phase
--- Event Phase
--- Friction Phase

LOGISTICS PHASE
Draw 4 cards from the deck. 
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. 

DEPLOY PHASE
You may put 1 Unit card into play from your hand. 

ATTACK PHASE
You may make 1 Attack this Phase:
To do this, you must play a card for its attack function.  
The Attack function of a card will specify attacker type and target type.
Example Terminology: Infantry attacks Vehicle.   
When a card is being used to attack, you must have the 
Appropriate type of Unit in play (deployed) that can make the Attack. 
The Attack Targets either the opponent’s Base or a specific 
Type of Unit that the opponent has in play. 
As a result of the Attack, the Attack card is discarded and the 
Target unit is discarded, or if the Base was attacked, the target 
Player will gain 1 Damage for each Unit that attacked.  
The attacking Unit(s) remain in play. 
Some Event cards will allow the defender to negate the Attack.
Attack Cards targeting Units allow a single attacking unit to 
attack a single target Unit.  
Attack Cards targeting Bases allow all units of the indicated 
type to Attack. So if you had 4 Infantry deployed and played 
Occupy, you would do 4 Damage. 

EVENT PHASE
You may play 1 Event card this Phase. 
Unless otherwise specified, Event cards are played only in this Phase. 
Discard the event card when played. 

FRICTION PHASE
Max hand size is 5 cards. 
Give excess cards to one or more opponents.
