0.0 INTRODUCTION

of board, card, dice and unit elements to create a system with

chess-like strategy, fog-of-war uncertainty and module

expandability.

Presented here are the base mechanics and several modules that

are ready for play. The modules contain the game setting,

background , unit and card definitions and the rules that

augment or change the Warp Skirmish engine.

1.0 The Warp Skirmish Engine

1.1 The Map

An 8x8 chessboard can be used to play most games. Terrain

aspects are detailed in the module.

1.2 The Units

Each module will detail the number, attributes and start

positions of the units involved.

1.3 The Cards

The players either draw from a common deck of cards or have a

their own deck of cards. The make up of the deck is detailed in

the module. The cards represent actions, resources, attributes,

and other aspects of the modules setting.

1.4 Victory Conditions

Each module will detail the conditions that need to be met for a

player or players to be declared the victorious.

1.5 Turn Sequence

A player is randomly selected to go thru the Turn Sequence

first. Each module will detail the exact Turn Sequence; the

basic phases are usually as follows.

1.5.1 Orders Phase

The player draws 3 cards. If the deck runs out the discard pile

is shuffled and used as the deck.

The maximum number of cards that can be help is 5 cards. After

drawing player must discard excess cards.

1.5.2 Maneuver Phase

The player discards a Movement type card. A Movement card will

be marked as such and will have a number that will indicate the

number of spaces a unit may move. Movement cards are often valid

for specific types of units. The player can then select a valid

unit and move them that number of spaces. The directions a

particular unit can move in, as well as other movement

restrictions, are detailed in the module.

1.5.3 Fire Phase

The player discards an Attack type card. An Attack card will be

marked as such and will have a number that will indicate the

range of an attack. Attack cards are often valid for specific

types of units. The player can then select a valid unit to

attack and a valid target. The effects of the attack, as well as

restrictions and reactions by the target, are detailed in the

module.

Make Orders Phase the Last phase of the Turn Sequence, and play

with card hands face up.
