0.0 INTRODUCTION
Warp Skirmish is an abstract Wargame system that utilizes a mix
of board, card, dice and unit elements to create a system with
chess-like strategy, fog-of-war uncertainty and module
expandability.
Presented here are the base mechanics and several modules that
are ready for play. The modules contain the game setting,
background , unit and card definitions and the rules that
augment or change the Warp Skirmish engine.
1.0 The Warp Skirmish Engine
1.1 The Map
An 8x8 chessboard can be used to play most games. Terrain
aspects are detailed in the module.
1.2 The Units
Each module will detail the number, attributes and start
positions of the units involved.
1.3 The Cards
The players either draw from a common deck of cards or have a
their own deck of cards. The make up of the deck is detailed in
the module. The cards represent actions, resources, attributes,
and other aspects of the modules setting.
1.4 Victory Conditions
Each module will detail the conditions that need to be met for a
player or players to be declared the victorious.
1.5 Turn Sequence
A player is randomly selected to go thru the Turn Sequence
first. Each module will detail the exact Turn Sequence; the
basic phases are usually as follows.
1.5.1 Orders Phase
The player draws 3 cards. If the deck runs out the discard pile
is shuffled and used as the deck.
The maximum number of cards that can be help is 5 cards. After
drawing player must discard excess cards.
1.5.2 Maneuver Phase
The player discards a Movement type card. A Movement card will
be marked as such and will have a number that will indicate the
number of spaces a unit may move. Movement cards are often valid
for specific types of units. The player can then select a valid
unit and move them that number of spaces. The directions a
particular unit can move in, as well as other movement
restrictions, are detailed in the module.
1.5.3 Fire Phase
The player discards an Attack type card. An Attack card will be
marked as such and will have a number that will indicate the
range of an attack. Attack cards are often valid for specific
types of units. The player can then select a valid unit to
attack and a valid target. The effects of the attack, as well as
restrictions and reactions by the target, are detailed in the
module.
1.6 Strategic Variant
Make Orders Phase the Last phase of the Turn Sequence, and play
with card hands face up.
