Simple skirmish rules for a handfull of cards - aka "soldiers" per player.
Simple skirmish rules for a handfull of cards - aka "soldiers" per player.


==Special Rules==
==Special Rules==
Each soldier has 4 stats: Shoot, Endure, React, Move.
Both players have one of each soldier.
Soldiers do not block line of sight.
Each time initiative swaps, players may choose any of their soldiers, even the soldier who performed an initiative previously, to Move then Shoot or Shoot then Move. Initiative will swap after completion of one soldiers initiative or when a Move is successfully interrupted by an enemy soldiers' React roll.
Whenever a six is rolled, re-roll the dice adding all results towards a total score.


Each soldier has 4 stats which are handily referred to as "SERM" (Shoot, Endure, React, Move).
==Shoot==
Soldiers have a forward fire arc of 90 degrees which grants a line of sight that extends out diagonally from the top corners of their card. There is no range limit. Roll 1D6 for each number allocated in the Shoot stat and compare this to the target soldiers' Endure total (they also roll 1D6 for each number allocated for their Endure stat). A higher Shoot total eliminates the target soldier. The soldier may then move if they have not already done so, then the initiative passes to the opponent who chooses any one of their soldiers to activate.


[u]Shoot[u] - roll a D6 per number allocated the firing soldier and re-roll any sixes, adding towards a single total number that is compared to the target soldiers' Endure total (they also roll a D6 per number allocated for their Endure stat, re-roll any sixes, adding towards a single total number). A higher Shoot total eliminates the target soldier. In either case, the initiative would then pass to the next player in a clockwise order.
==Endure==
Explained above (only ever used in response to being the target of a Shoot activation).


Endure - Explained above (only ever used in response to being the target of a Shoot activation).
==React==
Whenever a Move is made in the line of sight of any enemy soldier, their controller may make one React attempt with one soldier that has line of sight to the Move. Declare the soldier making the React attempt and roll 1D6 per number allocated their React stat. This is compared to the moving soldiers' Move roll total and if the React roll is greater than the Move roll, the moving soldier is stopped anywhere along its move path and the initiative switches to the soldier who reacted.  


React - Soldiers with a React stat of 1 or more may respond to enemy soldiers who move by rolling their React stat dice (D6 per number allocated and re-roll any sixes, adding towards a single total number that is compared to the moving soldiers' Move roll total) and if the React roll is greater than the Move roll, the moving soldier is stopped anywhere along its move path and the initiative switches to the soldier who responded who may now Move or Shoot and if they Move, their Move can be subject to a React roll by any enemy soldier - However, only one roll per player per move is allowed when testing a React, AND, if the Move targets a soldier, that soldier is the only one (for that human player - {for more than two-player game purposes}) that can React to the Move, and if the target soldier has no React stat, the Move cannot be challenged (by that players' soldiers{for more than two-player game purposes}).
==Move==
 
Turning counts as the start and end of a Move. Movement is only conducted in a straight line, and will trigger a React attempt by the opponent if the movement is in at least one of their soldiers lines of sight. Before rolling for movement, declare the direction the soldier will travel. The soldier must move exactly that amount of card lengths along the declared direction. Movement will be halted before its end point if it connects with a soldier or terrain OR by a successful React attempt. When an enemy soldier is connected with this stops movement and that soldier is killed outright. If the Move was made by a soldier who has already used a Shoot in the same activation, the initiative will pass to the opponent, otherwise they may shoot. Note: If a soldier would move out of bounds, halt them at the edge instead.
Move - Declare the direction of travel, roll a D6 per number allocated the moving soldier and re-roll any sixes, adding towards a single total number and the soldier must move exactly that amount in the previously declared direction unless obstructed. Movement is only conducted in a straight line and ends when it connects with a soldier or terrain. If an enemy soldier is contacted during a Move, it is automatically killed, the Move comes to an end, and the initiative passes to the next player in a clockwise order.

Simple skirmish rules for a handfull of cards - aka "soldiers" per player.

Special Rules

Each soldier has 4 stats: Shoot, Endure, React, Move. Both players have one of each soldier. Soldiers do not block line of sight. Each time initiative swaps, players may choose any of their soldiers, even the soldier who performed an initiative previously, to Move then Shoot or Shoot then Move. Initiative will swap after completion of one soldiers initiative or when a Move is successfully interrupted by an enemy soldiers' React roll. Whenever a six is rolled, re-roll the dice adding all results towards a total score.

Shoot

Soldiers have a forward fire arc of 90 degrees which grants a line of sight that extends out diagonally from the top corners of their card. There is no range limit. Roll 1D6 for each number allocated in the Shoot stat and compare this to the target soldiers' Endure total (they also roll 1D6 for each number allocated for their Endure stat). A higher Shoot total eliminates the target soldier. The soldier may then move if they have not already done so, then the initiative passes to the opponent who chooses any one of their soldiers to activate.

Endure

Explained above (only ever used in response to being the target of a Shoot activation).

React

Whenever a Move is made in the line of sight of any enemy soldier, their controller may make one React attempt with one soldier that has line of sight to the Move. Declare the soldier making the React attempt and roll 1D6 per number allocated their React stat. This is compared to the moving soldiers' Move roll total and if the React roll is greater than the Move roll, the moving soldier is stopped anywhere along its move path and the initiative switches to the soldier who reacted.

Move

Turning counts as the start and end of a Move. Movement is only conducted in a straight line, and will trigger a React attempt by the opponent if the movement is in at least one of their soldiers lines of sight. Before rolling for movement, declare the direction the soldier will travel. The soldier must move exactly that amount of card lengths along the declared direction. Movement will be halted before its end point if it connects with a soldier or terrain OR by a successful React attempt. When an enemy soldier is connected with this stops movement and that soldier is killed outright. If the Move was made by a soldier who has already used a Shoot in the same activation, the initiative will pass to the opponent, otherwise they may shoot. Note: If a soldier would move out of bounds, halt them at the edge instead.
