You'll need several copies of the following CARDS and a coin to flip. It can be played with two or more people, not solo because distributing the orders is done in secret and is paramount to the gameplay.

Special Rules

Cards – Orders (1 or 2 are placed face down under/beside each Model (Card) at the start of each turn which will enable the Models to act).

RALLY – Removes pin marker, Model may now use other orders.

MOVE – Flip (flip a coin): win = move up to 30cm, lose= move up to 15cm

OPPORTUNITY FIRE – Line of sight required (LOS), reveal only as opponent moves/turns within fire arc. No range limit. Flip: win = pin (Model gains a pin marker which renders the Model unable to activate anything other than a Rally order and is halted anywhere along its movement that the firer desires that is within its LOS), lose = no effect, target may continue to move/turn.

FIRE – LOS, No range limit. Flip: win = kill, lose = pin

Cards - Rules & Activation (Each player has a set of these shuffled in a face down pile to then activate the Models by flipping over the top card alternately between players until no more cards are left, then start a new turn, determine initiative by ro-sham-bo unless only one player has a commander left, then they activate a model first). Variations can include more than one of a certain type, then when a card is drawn for that type of Model, the owner can choose which to activate – the number of cards in play match the number of cards for activation.

COMMANDER Each soldier in LOS to Commander has 2 orders placed face down at start of turn. If outside LOS then only 1 order is placed. Commander always has 2 orders.

SNIPER For each single Fire order, Sniper may select any target, near or far. Other soldiers must discard two Fire orders to target anything other than the closest target in their fire arc.

HEAVY WEAPON 90 degree fire arc instead of the usual 180 degrees. Heavy Weapon has unlimited Opportunity Fire orders so is ideal for holding the line against multiple assailants.

CLOSE ASSAULT Can only ever have one Fire order given, and never an Opportunity Fire order. Has a 30cm range limit for Firing purposes. When given a Move order – flip: win = move up to 60cm or 30cm ignoring terrain, lose = move up to 30cm. Any enemy Model in the path of movement is killed unless it is a vehicle (no effect).

POWER-ARMOURED Ignore pin results.

GRENADIER When given Fire orders, may use each order to throw a smoke or frag grenade instead. First choose a type (smoke = 2 cards joined which block LOS (at the start of each turn remove all smoke cards), frag = 1 card) Then Flip: win = place card(s) up to 15cm – LOS not required – If frag those even partially covered are pinned, lose =nothing.

VEHICLE Vehicle always has 2 orders. For each single Fire order, Vehicle may select any target, near or far. 90 degree fire arc instead of the usual 180 degrees. Ignore pin results. Takes 2 kills to destroy.

Cards – Models (the cards used to represent the figures – line of sight, visibility arc and forward facing is taken from the top edge of the card). Commander, Sniper, Heavy Weapon, Close Assault, Power-Armoured, Grenadier, Vehicle. (See below for one player adding either a V.I.P. or an Engineer to this list).

To play Missions (rather than last man standing) one player includes either a V.I.P. or an ENGINEER (may replace killed Model with a Model in contact with it to simulate picking up the explosives needed to complete the mission by a successful flip in exchange for an Order when in contact with the enemy satellite/ammunitions/HQ/etc. (V.I.P. Model cannot be replaced - if killed, opponent wins - to win the V.I.P must move beyond opponent’s territory/edge.
