MOVE PHASE

The move card has a number.

This is the number of spaces the man moves.

Moves can be diagonal or orthogonal.

“Knight” type move cards allow a man to move like a knight in chess.

Instead of moving just one man in any direction, you have the

option of moving one or more men forward the indicated number of

spaces using a single move card.

FIGHT PHASE

The attack card has a number.

This is the range of the attack.

Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal.

“Knight” type attack cards produce an attack with a range like a knight in chess.

Captains may make 2 attacks per turn (using two different cards)

Only the Sharpshot may use the Musket card.

Officers may only use Officer Attack cards.

Crew may only use Crew Attack cards.

Each attack does one point of damage.

Use Chits or coins to record damage.

A man reduced to 0 Hits is killed and removed from the board.

Your opponent may play Defense cards to negate your attack.

Get –1 for every Casualty counter on your division.
