And so he bit the cold bronze. (The Iliad)

Can you stand with the heroes of Troy? The bloody struggle of Greeks and Trojans before the
walls of Troy inspired an age. Homers Iliad immortalized Hector, Achilles, Ajax and Helen -whose love launched war. Now you re-fight the siege of Troy. You stand with those legendary
heroes. You relive the drama thats inspired courage for three millennia.
TROJAN WAR is true to its source, the Iliad. The map represents the area described by Homer.
The play counters represent 56 Greek and 51 Trojan named heroes of three classes, plus chariots
and status markers. Rules cover combat with bow -and spear, chariots,, rendering aid, rallying and
intervention of the gods. There are eleven scenarios covering different stages of siege plus a campaign game of the entire eleven years.
TROJAN WAR is a two player historical simulation game of the Greek siege of Troy. It recreates combat from 1200 B. C., when Greek history emerged from the mists of legend. Western
civilization is molded by the ideals of that age. The warrior myths of Greece stand with the Bushido
spirit of Japan and the Nordic traditions of Valhalla. We bring you this slice of history in the spirit
in which it was lived.
LEVEL: Average complexity for two players age 12 and up.
PLAYABILITY: Scenarios play in 1/2 to 4 hours of rapid action.
COMPONENTS: 240 play counters, 17 x 22 map and rules booklet.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

3.2 Chariots

TROJAN WAR is a two-player game about

the legendary conflict between the ancient Greeks
and the city of Troy. This battle, conventionally
dated 1185 B.C., is the basis of Homers epic
poem, The Iliad and other Greek and Roman
works.
The map portrays the site of Troy, as described
by Homer. Each playing piece represents a specific hero of one of the armies together with the
common footsoldiers led by him. Chariots are also
present. Acts of intervention by the gods of Greek
mythology are included in the game.
TROJAN WAR includes eleven scenarios,
each a separate game which covers a part of the
siege. Also included is a Campaign Game, which
covers the entire siege.
2.0 MAP
Ship hexes are landings for the Greeks in some
scenarios. Large letters indicate start lines in some
scenarios. The track of numbers is for recording
GameTurns and Victory Points.

4.0 PREPARATION FOR PLAY

A. Decide which scenario to play (see 15.0).
B. Decide which player will take each side.
C. Take all Hero counters without R- or *
on them.
D. Remove from these the Heroes indicated in
the scenario rules.
E. Add the indicated R and * Heroes.
I F. Draw the indicated number of God Intervention Chits, without looking at them.
G. Take 15 chariots for each side.
H. Set up as indicated in the scenario rules. The
player who moves first sets up first. However,
time is saved if players Set-Up Simultaneously.
1. Start the first turn, skipping the first players
Rally phase.

6.0 MOVEMENT
6.1 General. During each Movement phase, the
player whose turn it is may move some, none, or all of
his Heroes and Chariots. Each unit may be moved in
any direction or combination of directions. A unit may
be moved a number of hexes equal to its Movenient
Allowance. EXAMPLE: Achilles, who has a Movement
Allowance of nine, may move nine hexes each turn. A
unit may move less than its Movement Allowance and
does not have to move at all. Unused movement may
not be saved for next turn.
6.2 Friendly Units. A unit may freely move through
a hex occupied by other units of its side. Any number
of friendly units may end their movement in the same
hex, but this might hurt their combat ability (see 7.5
and 7.6).
6.3 Enemy Units. A unit may never move into or
through a hex occupied by a non-killed enemy Hero. In
addition, an enemy Heros Zones of Control slows down
movement in the nearby hexes (see below). Enemy
Chariots by themselves do not affect movement (see
6.6.4).
6.3.1
Extent of Zones of Control:

Primary Zone of Control (PZOC)

5.0 SEQUENCE OF PLAY

Each Game-Turn consists of several phases, which
must be performed in order. The scenario rules (see
15.0) indicate which side moves first. The actions will
be explained later.

Secondary Zone of Control (SZOC)

Zones of Control extend into, but not through,

non-killed enemy Heroes and walls.
No Trojan SZOC (blocked by Greek Hero)
Trojan SZOC

EXAMPLE: Odysseus has used four Movement

Points. He cannot move any further this turn

Panicked and Wounded heroes (see 8.0) and empty

Chariots (see 6.6) may not enter enemy Primary Zones
of Control. PZOCs also affect retreats (see 7.2.3).

No Trojan SZOC
(blocked by wall)

Trojan PZOC
Wall (in Trojan Zones of Control)

Wounded and killed Heroes do not exert ZOCs (either

type).
Empty Chariots do not exert ZOCs (either type).
Stunned and Panicked Heroes do not exert SZOCs, but
do exert PZOCs.
6.3.2 Effects of ZOCs: Leaving a hex in an enemy PZOC or SZOC counts as two hexes of a units
Movement Allowance (two Movement Points), in addition to the cost of entering the next hex. (Three Movement Points total.)

EXAMPLE: Achilles can only move three hexes, not

nine, since six extra Movement Points are used to exit
the three hexes in the Trojan ZOCs.

6.4 Walls. See 12.1.

6.5 No Leaving the Map. Units may not leave the
map. (Except by Evacuation, see 11.3).
6.6 Chariots. Each Chariot can carry up to two
friendly non-killed Heroes of friendly or enemy killed
Heroes.
6.6.1 Loading: A Chariot may only pick up Heroes that begin the turn in its hex .
6.6.2 Movement: A Chariot moves at its normal
Movement Allowance, loaded or empty. A Chariot may
enter an enemy Primary Zone of Control only if it is
carrying a Normal (see rule 8.5) or Stunned (see 8.3)
Hero.
6.6.3 Unloading: A Chariot may drop off a Hero
in any hex that it moves through. The Chariot may continue moving, but the Hero may not move by itself that
turn.
6.6.4 Capture of enemy Chariots: A Hero may
move into or through hexes occupied by empty enemy
Chariots without penalty. If a Hero ends Combat phase
in the same hex as an enemy Chariot, the Chariot becomes friendly.
7.0 COMBAT PROCEDURE
7.1 When Combat Occurs. Each Greek or Trojan
Hero which is next to an enemy Hero during its own
Combat phase may attack that enemy Hero. Attacking
is always voluntary.
7.2 Procedure.
7.2.1
Attack:
A. Su tract the Defense Factor of the defender from
the Attack Factor of the attacker. This Combat Differential can be positive, negative, or zero.
B. Find the corresponding column on the Combat
Results Table (CRT).
C. Roll a die and find the corresponding line on the
CRT.
D. Cross-reference the column and the line on the
CRT to find the combat result.
E. Apply the combat result (see 8.0).

EXAMPLE: Menelaus attacking Pirus is a 6

minus 4 attack, which gives a Combat Differential of
+2. If a 3 is rolled on the die, Pirus would be
Stunned.
7.2.2 Counterattack: After every attack, the defending Hero may counterattack, even if it has already
counterattacked during that turn. Combat results just
suffered by the defender are not taken into account.
However, PREVIOUS combat results are taken into
account; these may prevent the counterattack (see 8.0).
A. Subtract the Defense Factor of the attacker from
the Attack Factor of the defender.
B. Rolla die.
C. Cross-reference the Combat Differential and the
die roll on the Combat Results Table.
D. Apply the combat result (see 8.0).

EXAMPLE: Pirus counterattack is 5 minus 7, which

is a Combat Differential of -2. If a 2 is rolled, the result
is No Effect. Pirus Stun is not taken into account for
the counterattack.
7.2.3 Retreat after Combat: Defending Heroes
suffering * c, or stun results may retreat. Attacking Heroes suffering Ile or stun results may retreat.
All Heroes suffering Panic or wound results must
retreat.
-A Hero not on a Chariot retreats one hex.
-A Hero on a Chariot retreats one or two hexes.
-No enemy Primary Zones of Control (PZOCs)
may be entered. The unit may not retreat if surrounded
by PZOCs; no penalty suffered. -No retreats into enemy units, into enemy walls, or off the board.
-Movement Points dont matter.
-Only the attacked or counterattacked Heroes may retreat, not Heroes stacked with them. Only one Chariot
per Hero may retreat.

EXAMPLE: Pirus may retreat one hex. Menelaus may

not retreat, since Pirus counterattack was ineffective.
7.2.4
Advance after combat: Attacker
may advance if A) defender retreats or is killed, and B)
attacker does not suffer a Stun or worse. Defender
may never advance, regardless of the counterattacks
results.
-Advance is along defenders retreat path or into killed
defenders hex; one hex if attacker is on foot and
one or two hexes if on a Chariot.
-Always voluntary, but must be done immediately, before any other attacks.

EXAMPLE: Menelaus may advance into the

hex that Pirus just retreated out of.
7.2.5Multiple Attacks (HeroClasses):
A Class III Hero may attack three times per Combat
phase.
A Class 11 Hero may attack twice per Combat phase.
A Class I Hero may attack once per Combat phase.
Any Hero may counterattack any number of times.
The defender of the second or third attack may
be the same Hero as for the first attack, or it
may be a different Hero. Counterattack, retreat, and
advance can be done after each of a Heros attacks. The
previous combat results can modify or prevent the attack or counterattack; see 8.0.

EXAMPLE: Menelaus may attack Pirus again, this time

benefiting from Pirus Stun. Pirus may not counterattack, since he is Stunned.

7.3 Bow Attacks. Bow Attacks may be done by

Heroes with Bow Attack Factors. Bow Attacks are done
against defenders two or three hexes away. (The bowman Hero may instead do a NORMAL attack against
an adjacent enemy.)
The intervening hex or hexes may not be a wall or
occupied by a non-killed Hero, unless the firing bowman is on a wall. The bowman can fire along the edge
of a hex which has a wall or friendly Hero.

EXAMPLE: Paris can fire at Ajax, but not at Sinon or

Achilles.
A. Subtract the defenders Defense Factor from the
attackers Bow Attack Factor.
B. Roll a die.
C. Cross-reference the Combat Differential and the
die roll on the Combat Results Table; apply the result.
D. NO counterattack occurs.
E. The defender retreats AWAY from the bowman,
if retreat occurs (see 7.2-3).
F. NO advance after combat.
G, The bowman Hero may do a second attack, either bow or normal. (All bowmen are Class II Heroes;
see 7.2.5).
7.4 No Combined Attacks. No more than one attacker may attack a single defender at a time. Attack
Factors may not be combined.
Also, only one attacking Hero is allowed to put
combat results on a single defender in a single Combat
phase. A defender may be attacked by a second attacker
only if the first ones attacks were ineffective (No Effect or Chariot Hit). A single attacker may attack a
defender more than once per Combat phase, though;
see 7.2.5.
7.5 No Stacked Attackers. If two or more
non-killed Heroes are in a hex, none of them may attack. They may counterattack.
7.6 Stacked Defenders. If ONE Stunned, Panicked, or Wounded Hero is in the same hex as ONE
normal Hero, the owning player decides which one will
defend against an attack. In any other type of defending stack, the attacking player decides which Hero will
defend.
8.0 COMBAT RESULTS
The following outcomes are possible from combat:
8.1 No Effect.
8.2 Chariot Hit. One Chariot is removed from the
affected Heros hex. Ignore if no Chariot is present.

8.3 Results on Hero (Stun, Panic, Wound, or

Kill). A marker of the appropriate type is placed on the
affected Hero. Killed Heroes are turned upside-down
on the map.
8.4 Accumulation of Results. If a Hero that already bears a combat result receives that result again,
it changes to the next most severe result:
Stun + Stun = Panic
Panic + Panic = Wound
Wound + Wound = Killed
If the Hero receives a worse result, the Hero is given
that new result:
Stun + Panic = Panic
Stun + Wound = Wound, etc.
If the Hero receives a less severe result, the new result
is ignored:
Wound + Stun = Wound, etc.
8.5 Normal Heroes. A Normal Hero is one who
does not bear a combat result, either Stun, Panic,
Wound, or Killed. Only a Normal Hero can Render Aid
(see rule 11.1) and destroy Greek ships (see 14.4).
9.0 RALLYING
9.1 Removing Stun and Panic Combat Results.
During each of his Rally phases, each player rolls a die
for A) each of his Panicked Heroes which are not in
enemy Primary Zones of Control, and for B) each of
his Stunned Heroes. Wounded and Killed Heroes may
not be Rallied.
Stun: removed on a 4, 5, or 6.
Panic: removed on a 5 or 6.
9.2 Rally Assistance. The die roll is modified if a
friendly Class II or III Hero is in the same hex or an
adjacent hex.
Class II: add one to die roll
Class III: add two to die roll
A Hero may not give Rally Assistance while he is himself Stunned, Panicked, Wounded, or Killed. He may
give Rally Assistance during the same Rally phase that
he recovers, though.
No more than one Hero can assist on a single die
roll. However, more than one die roll may be assisted
by a single Hero.

EXAMPLE: Odysseus becomes un-Stunned if a 2 or

higher is rolled.

10.0 REPLACEMENT UNITS

10.1 Replacing Killed Heroes. Whenever a Hero
is killed, the owning player takes one new Hero that is
marked with an R. Also, a replacement is taken for
each Wounded Hero that is Evacuated. (See 11.3.) No
More than 12 Replacement Heroes for each side may
be on the board. (A Replacement Hero represents the
common foot-soldiers, who had been following the old
Hero, now with a lower quality leader.)
10.2 Entering the Map. Replacement Heroes are
placed on the last hex-row on the map, behind the wall
of Troy for the Trojans and on Ship hexes for the Greeks.
They may not be placed in enemy Primary Zones of
Control. A Replacement Hero may be placed on the
map in any Joint Replacement phase following the
Combat phase in which the original Hero was killed.
10.3 Killed Replacement Heroes. Killed Replacement Heroes may be replaced. Unlike other Heroes,
killed replacements are not left on the map, but rather
return at once to the replacement pool.
11.0 RENDERING AID
11.1 Panicked and Wounded Heroes can move
by themselves, but cannot enter enemy PZOCs. However, a Panicked or Wounded Hero may be escorted
into a PZOC by a Normal Hero. (see rule 8.5) The
Normal Hero moves into the hex and then continues its
movement accompanied by the Panicked or Wounded
Hero. Chariot movement may be used if both the transported and transporting Heroes begin in the same hex
with a Chariot, or if both Heroes begin in different hexes,
but both have Chariots. The Normal Hero may drop

off the Panicked or Wounded Hero at any point during its movement. The Panicked or Wounded Hero may
not move by itself that turn. A single Normal Hero may
only escort one Panicked or Wounded Hero in a turn.
11.2 Killed Heroes can be transported by friendly
or enemy Chariots, or friendly or enemy Heroes. The
transporting Hero may not bear any combat results.
Movement is at the normal rate.
11.3 Evacuation of Killed and Wounded Heroes.
If a killed or wounded Hero reaches the last hexrow on
its side of the map, behind its own wall, the owning
player may remove it from the board to prevent further
harm.
Also, killed Heroes may be evacuated (captured)
by the enemy player (see 14.2). Wounded Heroes may
not return to the board unless healed by God Intervention (see 13.3.9).
12.0 WALLS
The wall around Troy is always friendly to the Trojans. The Greek Sea Wall is always friendly to the
Greeks.
12.1 Effect on Movement. Friendly Heroes move
normally. Enemy Heroes must end their movement
when moving onto the wall from the ground. They may
not enter PZOCs when moving onto the wall unless the
Heroes exerting the PZOCs are on the ground. Enemy
Chariots may not move onto a wall. All units move
normally from wall hex to wall hex or from wall hex to
ground hex.

12.2 Effect on Defense Factors. When a Hero on

a friendly wall is attacked or counterattacked by a Hero
on the ground, its Defense Factor is increased, unless it
is on a Chariot.
Trojan Wall: Trojan Heros Defense Factor increased by three.
Greek Sea Wall: Greek Heros Defense Factor increased by two.
12.3 Effect on Advance and Retreat. Heroes may
advance into an enemy or friendly wall normally. Heroes may not retreat into an enemy wall from a ground
hex.
12.4 Effect on Zones of Control. For Heroes on
the ground, ZOCs extend into but not through walls.
Heroes on walls have normal ZOCs in all directions.
12.5 Tearing Down the Greek Sea Wall. If four
or more Trojan Heroes (Normal or not) are on or behind the Greek Sea Wall at any time, the wall is destroyed for the rest of the scenario. All hexes of the
Greek Sea Wall are treated as normal hexes for all purposes. Trojan Heroes killed OUTSIDE the Greek Sea
Wall and transported inside the Wall do not count towards the required four Heroes.
13.0 INTERVENTION OF THE GODS
13.1 Acquiring God Intervention Chits. Before
play begins, all God Intervention counters are placed
upside-down and thoroughly mixed up. Each player
then draws the number indicated in the scenario rules,
without letting the other player see them.
The scenario rules might specify additional,
non-random chits.
13.2 Use of God Intervention Chits. When a chit
is played, it is removed from the players pile so that it
will not be played again. Some of the counters are placed
on the heroes they affect.
A God Fights: may be played at any time*.
Strength & Courage: may be played at any
time*.
Stop Weapon: may be played at any time*.
Mist: may be played at any time*.
Rescue Hero: may be played at any time*.
Rescue Slain: may be played at any time*.
Render Enemy Helpless: at the end of any
friendly Combat phase.
Heal: during any friendly Rally phase.
Deflect a Weapon: immediately after any attack or
counterattack.
*These may not be played DURING a die roll, to change
an already announced attack.
13.3 Effects of God Intervention Chits.
13.3.1 A God Fights: The counter is placed on
top of a friendly Hero. Two is added to the Heros Defense Factor. Also, two is added to the DIE ROLL for
each attack or counterattack by that Hero. EXAMPLE:
If a Hero assisted by a God Fights attacks with a Combat Differential of +2, his opponent is killed if a 5 or 6
is rolled.
A die is rolled for each A God Fights chit on the
map each friendly Rally phase. The chit is removed if a

I or 2 is rolled.
13.3.2 Strength & Courage: The chit is placed
on top of a friendly Hero. One is added to both the Attack Factor and the Defense Factor of that Hero.
A die is rolled for each S&C chit on the map each
friendly Rally phase. The chit is removed if a 1 is rolled.
The chit is also removed if the Hero ever becomes Panicked or Wounded.
13.3.3 Render an Enemy Helpless: A Panic
marker is placed on an enemy Hero at the end of the
friendly Combat phase. The Hero can be Rallied. A
Hero who is already Panicked becomes Wounded.
13.3.4 Deflect Weapon: One combat result
which has just been applied to a friendly Hero can be
reduced.
Chariot Hit is ignored.
Stun is removed.
Panic becomes Stun.
Wound becomes Panic.
Killed becomes Wound.
13.3.5 Stop Weapon: The chit is placed on a
friendly Hero. The Hero may not be attacked during
the enemy Combat phase of the current turn. He MAY
be counterattacked. The chit is automatically removed
from the Hero at the end of the enemy Combat phase.
13.3.6 Mist: The chit is placed on top of a friendly
Hero. That Hero may not attack or be attacked. Also,
the Hero does not exert a Zone of Control. Other Heroes in the hex are not affected.
The Mist is removed whenever the affected Hero
leaves the hex, or whenever the owning player wishes.
13.3.7 Rescue a Hero: A non-killed friendly
Hero is removed from the map. Chariots remain behind. On the next Replacement phase, he can reenter
the map as if he were a replacement (see 10.2).
13.3.8 Rescue a Slain Hero: A killed friendly
Hero is removed from the map to prevent capture. The
Hero may have been transported by an enemy, but it
may not have been already removed from the map by
the enemy.
13.3.9 Heal: During the friendly Rally phase, a
Stun, Panic, or Wound is removed from a
friendly Hero.
13.4 Time Limit. A player may not use more than
one God Intervention chit per GameTurn. This does
NOT include God Intervention chits and other events
provided for in the Special Rules for a scenario. The
player places his Gods Intervention This Turn marker
on the Game Turn track as a memory aid.
14.0 VICTORY POINTS
14.1 Awarding Victory Points. In most scenarios,
victory is determined by Victory Points. Victory Points
are awarded as follows:
Killing a Hero: Class Number times Attack
Strength.
Wounding a Hero: 1/2 Class Number times Attack
Strength.
Killing a Wounded Hero: 1/2 Class Number times
Attack Strength.

Capturing a Killed Hero: Class Number times Attack Strength. (see below)
Lack of Aggressiveness: -4 Victory Points (see below).
Destroying Greek Ships; (Trojans only): Depends
on scenario.
EXAMPLE: If the Trojans kill Odysseus, a Class III
Hero with an Attack Strength of 6, they receive 18 Victory Points. The Trojans would receive 9 points (1/2 X
18) for wounding Odysseus.
14.2 Capture of Killed Heroes. An enemy Hero
is considered captured when he is evacuated from the
map. Victory Points are awarded to the capturing player,
in addition to those already awarded for killing that
Hero. Replacement Heroes cannot be captured, since
they are not left on the map when killed (see 10.3).
14.3 Aggressiveness. If a player has fewer than
ten non-killed Heroes outside his own wall at the end
of his own Movement phase, the other player receives
four Victory Points, each turn that this happens. This
rule is ignored if the Greek Sea Wall is torn down (see
12.5).
14.4 Destruction of Greek Ships. In some scenarios, victory depends on the destruction of Ship hexes.
If a Normal Trojan Hero (see 8.5) begins the Trojan
Movement phase on a Ship hex, that ship is permanently
destroyed.
14.5 Keeping Track. Each player has a 1x,
10x, and 100x Victory Points counter. When a
player receives Victory Points, he moves his counters
on the GameTurn Record track on the map.
15.0 SCENARIOS
Note: Scenario 15.2 is the easiest to play, since it does
not involve Gods Intervention Chits. Scenarios 15.1,
15.4, 15.5, 15.6, and 15.10 are also good for beginning players.
15.1 The Deeds of Diomedes, from THE ILIAD,
Book V. Shortly after Agamemnons famous quarrel
with Achilles, both armies make ready to fight. The
Greek hero Diomedes is especially favored by the goddess Athena that day.
Trojan Army: All non-*, non-replacement
Heroes, plus Pandarus; 15 Chariots
Greek Army: All non-*, non-replacement
Heroes; 15 Chariots
Gods Intervention Chits: Trojans--6;Greeks-5
Set-up: Trojans on or behind line of hexes between T
and T
Greeks on or behind line of hexes between
G and G
First Move: Greeks
Game Length: Eight Game-Turns
Victory: The player with the most Victory Points wins
Special Rule: Diomedes (Greek) receives two free
Strength & Courage chits during the game. They
may not both be in effect at the same time. They are
lost in the usual ways (see 13.3.2).

15.2 The Short Battle, from THE ILIAD,

Book VIII. The god Zeus is resolved to bring ill on the
Greek army. Accordingly, he sends a crash of lightening into the Greek ranks at an unexpected moment, temporarily demoralizing them. While Zeus does his will,
no other god is allowed to intervene.
Trojan Army: All non-*, non-replacement Heroes; 15
Chariots
Greek Army: All non-*, non-replacement Heroes; 15
Chariots
Gods Intervention Chits: None
Set-up: Trojans on or behind Trojan Wall Greeks on or
behind Greek Sea Wall
First Move: Trojans
Game Length: eight Game-Turns
Victory: The player with the most Victory Points wins.
Special Rule: Zeus Intervention: During any two consecutive Greek Rally phases, the Trojan player may
declare that no panicked Greek Heroes may Rally.
15.3 The Battle at the Ships, from THE
ILIAD, Book Xl+. Agamemnon initiates the battle with
great zeal, but is eventually wounded, causing the
Greeks to become disheartened. Zeus is still determined
to see the Trojans triumph. Only the god Poseidon defies him and lends surreptitious aid to the two Ajaxes.
The Greek misfortune at last forces Achilles to allow
his friend Patroclus to impersonate him in order to help
the Greeks.
Trojan Army: All non-*, non-replacement Heroes; 15
Chariots
Greek Army: All non-*, non-replacement Heroes; 15
Chariots (plus Patroclus; see below)
Gods Intervention Chits: Trojans--10; Greeks none
Set-up: Trojans on or behind line of hexes from T to T
Greeks on or behind Greek Sea Wall
First Move: Trojans
Game Length: twelve Game-Turns
Victory: The Trojans win if they destroy three Greek
ships (see 14.4) AND have 50 Victory Points more
than the Greeks at the end of the game. The Greeks
win by preventing a Trojan victory.
Special Rules:
A. Agamemnons Recklessness: Agamemnon
(Greek) must make an attack every turn, starting with turn three. If he is Stunned or Panicked
or otherwise unable to attack, he becomes
Wounded. (Victory Points awarded).
B. Loss of Agamemnon: When Agamemnon is
killed or wounded, no Panicked Greeks may
be Rallied for the next two turns.
C. Patroclus entry, disguised as Achilles:
Patrocles enters the map after either A) a Normal Trojan moves adjacent to a Ship hex, or B)
the Trojans have 40 Victory Points more than
the Greeks. He enters in the same way as a Replacement Hero (see 10.2). No Panicked Trojans may be Rallied for the next two turns. Once
Patroclus has entered, the Greeks lose five Victory Points a Normal Patroclus does not make

an attack. The Trojans receive 50 Victory Points

if a killed Patroclus is captured, instead of the
usual 2 1.
D. Ajax and Ajax the Lesser each receive one free
Strength & Courage God Intervention chit.
15.4 The Vengeance of Achilles, from
THE ILIAD, Book XX+. Because Hector has slain
Achilles friend Patroclus, Achilles is determined to
slay Hector himself. Meanwhile, remorseful that his
errors of judgement have brought the Trojans to an ill

twelfth Battle, or
C. Neither side wins the final Battle by
