INTRODUCTION
Generic Rules for Combat in any scale or era.
No Cards are used, just hex maps, dice, and counters.
The basic concept is to be able to have:
Relatively quick battles with 20-30 units to a side.
A minimum of record keeping. Easy set up.
A very simple rules-system, easily learned, and easily modified.
EQUIPMENT
Hex Maps
Counters (or Miniatures)
Dice
SCENARIOS
The designer of a scenario must determine the following:
Which Armies to use.
How many units and what types.
What map to use.
Setup- Initial Placement of Units
Victory conditions
The opponent picks which side he wants to play.
UNIT STATS
Each unit has 6 stats:
1. Movement Rating (Movement Points)
2. Range Rating (In Hexes)
3. Attack Rating
4. Defense Rating
5. Morale Rating
6. Hits Rating (Number of Kills before the Unit is Destroyed)
TURN SEQUENCE
Each Round has 4 phases.
Initiative Phase
Player A Movement Phase
Player B Movement Phase
Morale Phase
INITIATIVE PHASE
Determine turn order by rolling high on 1D10. Reroll ties.
The Player with the high roll chooses whether he wants to be Player A or Player B.
The Player with the low roll is left with the choice not taken.
A Player gets –2 to his roll if his Leader unit is destroyed.
FACING
All unit counters must have an arrow to indicate their direction of facing.
Units can only move in the direction they face.
After each hex moved a unit may change its facing 60 degrees.
A unit can only attack units it is facing in a 120 degree arc.
Hand to Hand attacks against the back or rear of a unit are at Attack +2.
The Defender gets defense –3.
Routing units immediately change their facing 180 degrees.
STACKING
Only one ground unit per hex, except for units that can carry other units.
This may be altered depending on the scale of the map.
MOVEMENT PHASE
MP = Movement Points.
MPs are expended upon entering an adjacent hex.
Units may move up to their movement allowance.
A unit that is not damaged, pinned, etc, can always move at least 1 hex.
A unit may spend a movement point to change its facing to any direction.
A unit may (dis)mount a vehicle in the same hex if both pay 1 MP.
ATTACKING
All units may attack only once per turn.
Any unit may attack at any time during either Movement Phase.
Resolve attacks immediately.
If players want to attack at the same time, the attacks are simultaneous.
Each unit has an attack range in hexes.
When attacking roll 1D10. this is the Attack roll.
An Attack Hits if the roll is less than or equal to the Attack rating of the Attacker.
Natural Rolls of 1 always hit, and rolls of 10 always hit.
If an attack hits the Defender may attempt to save.
The Defender saves on a roll on 1D10 less than or equal to the Defense value
of the Defender.
If a unit receives a number of hits equal to its Hits Rating it is killed and
is removed from play.
Unless otherwise stated all attacks must be Line of Sight.
COMBINED ATTACKS RULE
Every unit after the first to attack the same target unit gets Attack Rating +1.
OVERKILL RULE
If an attack hits, subtract the roll result from the attack rating.
This is the Overkill factor.
The defender reduces his Defense rating by this factor.
For example: the attacking tank has an Attack rating = 9. It rolls a 5.
The overkill factor is 9 - 5 = 4. The defending infantry has a Defense rating = 6.
The Modified defense rating is 6 - 4 = 2.
OVERRUN (FREE ADVANCE)
A unit that has destroyed an adjacent enemy unit may move into its hex.
MORALE PHASE
Units must make morale checks every time they are hit but not destroyed.
Units must also check morale if an adjacent friendly unit routs.
If they roll equal to or less than their Morale Rating on 1D10 they keep fighting.
On a higher roll they rout. They move away from enemy units at top speed.
If they move off the board they are removed from play.
Routing units may roll to rally every turn after they rout.
If they roll equal to or less than half (round up) of their Morale
Rating on 1D10 they rally.
Morale checks are at –2 if the Leader unit is destroyed.
Morale checks are at –1 if they are outnumbered 2 to 1.
FIRE SUPPORT
These are attacks that are generated somewhere off map.
This usually represents Artillery batteries or Air strikes.
These can stike anywhere on the map.
They are limited in ammo and number of attacks per turn.
SPOTTING
Some lists include spotting ranges as a unit stat.
This is the range in hexes a unit will spot enemy units.
Once spotted, any unit can attack it.
ARMY LIST STATS
Every Army List includes the:
Nationality or Era, Scale, Terrain Set
ARMY SCALES
For two armies to fight they must have the same Scale, Era, and Terrain Set.
Scales can be in terms of manpower, or distances.
Some possible Scales include:
Skirmish 1 Man
Tactical 10
Brigade 100
Operational 1,000; Countries
Strategic 10,000 Men; Continent
Small Naval Coastal Region
Large Naval Ocean
World War Entire Globe
Interstellar Space Single Solar System
Galactic Space Light Years
ARMY ERAS
For two armies to fight they must have the same Scale, Era, and Terrain Set.
The Name of the Army basically determines what Nationality and Era it belongs to.
Some possible Eras, or Time Periods, include:
Ancients, Roman Empire, Medieval, Feudal Japan, Napoleonic, WWI, WWII, Modern, Future
TERRAIN SETS
For two armies to fight they must have the same Scale, Era, and Terrain Set.
The Armies Scale basically determines what Terrain Set it will use.
A Terrain Set will list what Terrain types are available and how they effect play.
A Terrain type will have one or more of the following attributes:
Defense: A bonus or penalty applied to the Defense Rating of any unit occupying the space.
MP: The number of Movement points required to enter the space.
BASIC GROUND TERRAIN SET Terrain Type MP Defense Notes Open 1 - Grass lands, plains Forest 2 +1 Woods, Defense +2 vs Ranged Attacks Water - - Impassable Shallow Water 2 -1 - Mountainous - - Impassable Buildings - - Impassable Bridge 2 -1 - Marsh 2 -1 - Desert 2 - - Low Wall 2 +1 - Fortress 3 +2 Walls, Defense +3 vs Ranged Attacks Elevation Rule- Determine the elevation of all hexes. A higher elevation costs 1 additional MP to enter. At a higher elevation get +1 Defense if being attacked from below and get +1 to attack units below. Units may not stack unless the Army List allows it. WWI GROUND TERRAIN SET Terrain Type MP Defense Notes No Mans Land 1 - Mine Field 1 -1 Units moving through receive an Attack of strength = 5.

On a roll of 1-5 on 1D10, Ships, Siege Towers, Catapults, and Rams are captured, not destroyed. The letter F after the move rating indicates the unit can fly. Each Ship can carry one non-ship Legion and any number of Heroes. Sauron never moves from his Lair in Mordor. Units with Magic points can cast spells.
