Losing the

Wargame could

be more realistic

Steve Phenow Friction rules

FUN !

Optional heavy unit

Anatomy Doubled Line one stand size:

.

Note : is not INTRO scheme

If this option is taken :

- Involuntary splis counts -1

towards init.

- ARMY Breakpoint is

doubled

- Melee Factor “Unit

Wider” is dropped

- New Optional Melee

factor : Overlapping unit :

Example

1 2

A B

Units A and 2 have a +1 because

they are overlapping the adversary.

This will contribute to the typical

effect of twisting battleline in

ancient battles

New Rules for The

General Now Generals have a

Sphere of influence, out of this

range controlling the Divisions

became more complicated , so :

The Command Radii: 24 “

At the beginning of the turn OUT of

radii Divisions should be marked.

After that the general can move

affecting the status of DIVS in the

NEXT turn .

Note : Radii is Zero when general is

attached to a unit

Now General affects the whole

division when is attached to a UNIT

but loose focus over the overall

army control :

Summary:

Unit fight with +1

Unit doesn’t pursue

Unit doesn’t are subject to

obligatory charge

Division doesn’t do Bravery Test

GENERAL attached to units

ALLWAYS have risk life in Melee

Throw 1 D6

Hit on 6 if no BP where received

Otherwise 5-6 .

If fail :

Check kind of damage

6- 5 DEAD

4-3 Heavy wounded

2-1 light wounded

HEAVY wounded: cannot move.

Any extra wound kills him

Light wound: two of this became

HEAVY wounded.

Movement and

Compulsive Movement • Now movement should be diced

• Now each Division should pas a

Bravery TEST for move (See below)

Division ON radii

the DIV moves as player wishes , the dice

just shows the maximum

DIV is OUT of radii MUST move the full score of the dice

New movement rates

AVG = Average Dice

General : 20 “

Wheels

ON RADII : 1 D6 , the score is the limit ,

but player choose how much it wheels

OUT of RADII 1 D6 . The result is the

obligatory wheel

Move and Wheel :

ON RADII : use the proper number of AVG

dice , deduct the wheel from the total score.

Remember 1 “ wheel cost 2

OUT of RADII:

The first dice scores the Uncontrolled

wheel, the rest the uncontrolled advance.

Remember : unit wheeling over 2 became

undressed.

NOTE :Repetition of complex WHELLS

are allowed for OUT of radii movement

because the player cannot control it.

Bravery test Previous to move or split , each

turn ALL DIV or NEW intended

DIV should test at the best quality

unit member .

Throw 2 D6 , under the Bravery

value = OK

If fails ; No moves, but can

change face , Wheel to face a

thread , rest , redress

Cavalry Control Issue

Halting the Cavalry TEST : 4-6 on D6

A) When is out of radii and

Moving and the player try to halt

their movement

B) When the player try to avoid

obligatory charge against Infantry

NOTE HC against HC: must

charge.

Victorious CAVALRY pursuing

When HEAVY enemy breaks

including infantry .Checks:

5-6 pursue . 1-4 controls

- Pursuing CAVALRY

became undressed

Each turn check again until they

exit the table or became controlled.

Pursuing path: maximum

movement rate diced of the enemy

unit, dice for know how much it is!

Pursuing cause’s auto division split

If exits the table it doesn’t count

towards army breakpoint , and

check for recalling, they return in

the same status as they exits

Warband pursuing optional rule:

Use the same cavalry pursuing rules

New UNIT

flank line regardless his previous

position

NEW Routed into test Unit routed into became undressed

Additional effects :

Throw a D 10 : If scores over FV unit add

1 BP

Rampaging Elephants :

When EL is routed It breaks any units at

random routed into path :

Throw a D6 for Rampaging direction:

D6

inches to the right and advance 1 D6

2-3 : Change front 180 degrees and advance

1 D6

4 : Change front 180 degrees , wheel 2

inches to the left and advance 1 D6

5-6 routs to the front and advance 1 D6

Bodyguards (Comitatus) Each General now have his own

retinue o Comitatus Unit .Should be

the best quality type of the army

.

Depends of what stand chooses, the

speed of general are limited when

he moves attached to their

comitatus.

Benefits of Comitatus:

(When they are attached to GEN)

Free pivot to any front and move

Benefit for GEN attached to

Comitatus: if contacted is NOT

captured.

If the Comitatus is destroyed GEN

should check for survavility: 5-6

killed

Otherwise He evade to another

friendly unit in 20 “. That

simulates the fight of the Comitatus

for his leader

When the Comitatus IS ALONE

acts as a one stand div from their

kind, and if out of radii should dice

for moving.

Remember: Gen cannot attach and

un-attach in the same turn

Don’t get confused with VET units;

you should keep spending one point

to create any vet unit including the

Comitatus …

Medieval Banner . Its a Special Stand .It contains the

banner and the carrier of it .

belongs to the first victorious

enemy units that breaks captures it.

Lossing the banner : it counts

towards Army BP

contacted.

Captured Banner Should be always

attached . +1 in melee for that unit .

Losing the captured banner is

NOT counting towards Army BP .

Recovering the Banner : + 1 to the

Army Break Point
