INTRODUCTION Card game depicting WH40K combat at a man-to-man level. DISCLAIMER Warhammer 40000 is a copyrighted, licensed property. This is merely a fan site. VICTORY Run your opponents deck out of cards. THE DECKS Each player (race) has its own deck. DICE Six sided Dice are needed. SETUP Players select their race (deck). (Same race fights are allowed: for example: Ork vs Ork) Each player draws 7 cards. TURN SEQUENCE Turns are simultaneous. Each turn is divided into 7 Phases: Recruitment Phase Deployment Phase Long Range Phase Medium Range Phase Short Range Phase Close Combat Phase Recovery Phase RECRUITMENT PHASE Each player draws 2 cards. A Player who has no cards left to draw loses the game. (Discarded cards do not go back to the draw pile) DEPLOYMENT PHASE Put Unit cards from your hand into play. Attach Attachment cards (weapons, equipment, etc.) from your hand onto Units that can use them. ATTACK LIMIT RULE Unless noted by a special rule or card, a unit may only make one attack per turn with one of its natural attacks or with an Attached Weapon card. ATTACKING The attacking Unit declares its target. A Target must be a unit in play. Units with long range weapons may target the enemy deck instead of Units in play. A unit makes an attack by rolling 1D6 and comparing the roll to the Force level of the Weapon. If the roll is equal to or less than the Force level, the attack does damage equal to the roll. If there are no enemy units, you may target the opponent’s deck. For every point of damage a deck takes it must discard the top card. Attacks within a phase are simultaneous: All Units get to complete their attack even if they are killed. HITS Every Unit has a number of hits. If a Unit is reduced to zero hits, it is killed (discarded). Use Tokens placed on the Unit to keep track of Damage. LONG RANGE PHASE Units that are able make Long range attacks. These include support, sniper, and heavy weapons. MEDIUM RANGE PHASE Units that are able make Medium range attacks. This includes Rifles. SHORT RANGE PHASE Units that are able make Short range attacks. This includes pistols and thrown grenades. CLOSE COMBAT PHASE Units that are able make Close Combat attacks. This includes Hand-to-Hand attacks. RECOVERY PHASE A Healer Unit may remove all the Damage Tokens from one Unit in this Phase. Max hand is 7 cards. Discard excess cards. EVENT CARDS Event cards produce a single event, like an attack, and are then discarded. Events that produce an attack by a Unit, not normally made by it, are an extra attack that turn in addition to the Units normal attack. (For example: The Ork Boyz may attack in CC or SR plus use a Stikkbomb card) ATTACHMENT CARDS Attachment cards can either be attached to a Unit in Deploy Phase or be used like an Event card to produce a single Attack, and then be discarded. UNITS IN CLOSE COMBAT All Units are capable of some Close combat attack. The base Force of a Unit is its Force in Close Combat. DREADNAUGHTS Dreadnaughts can make 1 Close Combat attack and 1 attack with every weapon they have or that is attached. Dreadnaughts can only attach Heavy Weapons.
