INTRODUCTION
Get ready to throw lots of dice around.
The game simulates two opposing fantasy warriors locked in deadly combat.
EQUIPMENT
Lots of Dice of different colors.
Some way to keep track of Hit Points.
Combat Phase
Initiative Phase
Maneuver Phase
Attack Phase
Damage Phase
COMBAT ROLL PHASE
Both players roll their combat dice into separate boxes.
This is known as the combat roll.
Add up scores as described in the example.
INITIATIVE PHASE
The player with the highest Initiative score attacks first.
If initiative scores are tied, the attacks are simultaneous.
MANEUVER PHASE
If the winner of the initiative phase also has a higher maneuver score,
than that player may rethrow his dice.
The new scores will only affect the attack & damage phases.
ATTACK PHASE
Conduct this phase in order of initiative.
Compare your Attack score to your opponents Dodge score.
If your Attack score is higher you have 'hit' your opponent.
If your Attack score is equal or lower, your attack misses.
DAMAGE PHASE
Conduct this phase in order of initiative.
You can only do damage if you hit your opponent in Attack phase.
Compare your Damage score to your opponents Armor score.
If your Damage score is equal or lower, your attack does no damage.
If your Damage score is higher you have 'damaged' your opponent.
Your attack does damage equal to the difference.
Damage is subtracted from your opponents Hit point total.
A combatant reduced to 0 Hit points is unconscious.
A combatant reduced to -2 Hit points is dead.
