and Angus. In the resulting fight, Angus beats Wen Liu,
who receives a Wound. Wen Liu’s figure is Unconscious,
lying prone on the game table with a Wound Marker at the
end of the Movement he declared at the beginning, no
matter in where along the movement he was actually shot.
Example: Fusilier Silva uses an Order, declaring only her

Wen Liu and Jang Qi, they declare their ARO to shoot
at her. Silva uses her second Skill to return fire at both of
them. Silva divides the B (3) of her Combi Rifle between
the Zhanshis, two shots for Wen Liu and one for Jang Qi.
Two Face to Face rolls take place, one between Silva and
Wen Liu and one between Silva and Jang Qi. In the Face

succeeds in the second, so Wen Liu must make an ARM
roll. Silva loses the roll against Jang Qi, so she must also
make an ARM Roll. Both Silva and Wen Liu fail their rolls,

one, minus any wounds taken, at the end of the Order in
which he receives the first wound.
Valor (V): This Special Skill describes the bravery and
ferocity of the figure in combat. There are three levels of
Valor with each one encompassing the prior levels:
• Level 1 Courage: The miniature does not fear death
and is completely ready to die if his duty calls for it.
Courage avoids, without spending any Order, the WIP
Roll that is compulsory after surviving the impact of a
ballistic weapon but the figure does not wish to move to
cover (The Guts Roll made after a successful ARM Roll).
The figure is not required to keep his position if he does
not want to.
• Level 2 Dogged: The miniature, owing to a vast
contempt for life, is ready to suffer in order to achieve an
objective, no matter the severity of his wounds.
This Special Skill is automatic and does not require the use
of Orders to be activated. Dogged allows the miniature
to ignore the state of Unconscious.
If the miniature uses the Dogged Skill he will be able
to act normally provided he keeps spending Orders in
a consecutive way. The figure will die when the turn he
would have fallen Unconscious finishes, if the player stops
spending Orders on him in a consecutive way, or if he
suffers another Wound. In addition, the Dogged Special
Skill includes also the Courage Special Skill. Dogged
cannot be used in ARO.
Dogged allows Impetuous figures to spend Orders from
the Orders Reserve in order to keep acting normally, even
though the player hasn’t finished spending Impetuous
Orders.
• Level 3 No Wound Incapacitation: The miniature, due
to the extraordinary endurance of his system, is able to
ignore pain and keep his awareness functioning further
than reasonable human limits.
This Special Skill functions automatically, allowing the
miniature, after receiving a Wound, to avoid passing to
the Unconscious state. Another Wound will be needed
to destroy him. The miniature can be cured by a Doctor,
AutoMediKit, MediKit, and Regeneration, although if he
fails this roll he will automatically die.
Veteran: The miniature belongs to a troop with several
years of service in the toughest frontlines: he possesses
several skills acquired the hard way. Veterans are soldiers
hardened by war, able to rise above the pain of their
wounds and to detect danger wherever it lurks. The
Veteran Skill provides the Sixth Sense L2 and V: No Wound

GENERAL TYPES OF SPECIAL TERRAIN
Aquatic Terrain: This is an environment where water is 69
the dominant medium. Submarine scenarios, seas, lakes,
rivers, marshes, mangrove swamps (jungles covered by
water), etc.
Desert Terrain: A terrain where heat and sand prevail.
Game Zones with Desert Terrain could be dune deserts,
stony areas, desolate savannas, etc.
Mountain Terrain: This encompasses zones at great
height over the sea level, with rocky formations and little
vegetation, and those territories typical of artic and sub
artic regions. Mountain Terrains are the high, medium
and low peaks, defiles, fjords, rocky slopes, ice and snow
plains, tundra, etc.
Jungle Terrain: These characterize very solid woods. Rain
forests, jungles, thick forests, groves, etc.
Zero-G Terrain: This is where gravity force is very weak
or nonexistent, requiring a different sense of direction and
movement. Zero-G Terrain includes zones with atmosphere
and pressure and also exterior vacuum. Possible Zero-G
scenarios would be freight zones of great spacecrafts, the
exterior rings of space or orbital bases, the corridors of
spaceships or bases with disabled artificial gravity, etc.
DAMAGING SCENERY
A piece of scenery can be targeted if its profile of ARM
and STR has been determined and if there is a previous
consensus between players. If no agreement is reached,
that scenery piece cannot be eligible as a target.
If when performing an attack against a piece of scenery
with a template weapon, a missile launcher for example,
any enemy figure has been affected by the area effect of
the weapon, the Speculative Shot Modifier (BS-6) must be
applied.
It is not allowed to shoot at a scenery piece if the Template
affects allied troops, neither can this be done if the
Template affects camouflaged enemy troops unless there
are any other enemy figures inside the area of effect.

a player’s troops to move them through the battlefield. To remember that if he allows them to activate and they die,
do this, it is required that a trooper be in base contact with he will suffer a penalty. The use of Civvies as human shields
the Civilian, and, after spending 1 Short Skill, succeed at will be punished as well, applying the same penalty even if
a Modified Normal WIP-3 Roll. If this is successful, the they are not killed.
Civilian is synchronized with the trooper, applying the rules
of G: Synchronized to move with him (Replacing the word
“Remote” by “Civilian”).
The exceptions applied to Civvies regarding the G:
Synchronized rule are that, once synchronized, they never
perform attacks, and they do not have G: Remote Presence.
However, if the trooper fails the roll, the Civilian will flee
in panic,
disengaging automatically from CC and moving 2 inches.
To determine in which direction the Civilian moves it is
necessary to apply the Dispersion rule. The centre of the
Circular Template will be placed over where the Civilian is,
with the number 1 pointing at the centre of the game table
and the second digit of the failed roll indicating where the
figure will move to. Civvies cannot be synchronized with
Remotes and Impetuous figures.
A figure only can synchronize with those Civvies not
already synchronized and those Immobilized because
their synchronization has been broken (Because their
Controllers are Unconscious, dead, hacked, affected by
E/M Ammunition or have turned Impetuous by Frenzy,
Inspiring Leadership…).
The maximum number of civvies a figure can have
synchronized at the same time is 2.
If the Civilian is Hostile (HOSTILE), it is necessary to succeed
at a Normal WIP-6 Roll to synchronize it. If the roll is failed,
then the Civilian will attack automatically, performing a
Normal CC Roll, applying Damage PH- 2, if he is successful.
This roll can be made by an opposing player. In some
scenarios, Hostile civvies can be mixed with Neutral ones,
being indistinguishable from them. In such cases, when in
base contact with a Civilian, it is necessary to roll 1d20 on
the following table, to know which category he belongs
to. Once the roll is made, the Modifier to synchronize the
Civilian will be known, and the Hostile Marker (HOSTILE)
will be placed if necessary. The chart can vary depending
on the scenario.
DEPLOYMENT
If the player takes the Deployment option, then he chooses
which side of the battlefield he will deploy his troops to
and then chooses which player deploys first.
Each player can place a single figure in reserve while
deploying. This miniature is placed after his opponent’s
initial deployment (If placing first) or after the opponent
has placed their reserve miniature (If placing second).
Victory Conditions
74 A battle is fought at as many points of army as previously
decided. For instance, between 150 and 300 army points,
battles at 150 points are going to be more or less short
and battles over 300 points are going to be longer. Army
points are important to calculate the Availability of Support
Weapons and the percentage of figures required to cause
Retreat!
The battle will be over when one of the two armies disbands
(After losing more than 60% of their army points) and runs
away. It can also finish when the targets of a mission are
