WAR PHASE
You may Jam one or more ships to attack a target Locale. (Attacking Fleet).
Your opponent may Jam ships to defend the target (Defending Fleet).
The Fleet with the most Scout ships may look at the opponents hand and gets
Tactics +2 for the rest of the phase.
The Battle proceeds in a series of rounds.
Each round roll once on the Battle Table (The Battle Stat Roll).
The ship stat indicated by the roll is the Primary Stat for the current round.
The fleet with the highest combined total of the primary
Battle Stat gains a Combat Advantage of +1
Players may play (Discard) Combat cards to increase their score in the
Primary stat or decrease their opponents score.
The fleet with the highest total Cost gains a Combat Advantage
of +1 (or +2 if its Cost total is over twice the opponents fleet).
Next each fleet rolls 1D6 and adds its Combat Advantages (Combat Roll).
The side with the highest combat total wins. (reroll ties)
The losing fleet must discard a Ship card.
