Story:

Reatha was ravaged by war. Kingdoms butted heads at every

border, until a man arrived who could control the crystals that

enriched the continent’s soil. Rickard Galvenstalk used this power to

unite the kingdoms, pushing for peace before every throne until an

era of serenity began, and the kingdoms formed one great nation: the

Crimson.

On his deathbed, Rickard granted his twin sons his last

reprieve: they would split his genetic power between them and

maintain peace in the lands—but when he died, his banner burned

with him. Bonds and pacts unravelled like yarn, and the twins met at

an impasse. Carter, the eldest twin, wished to implement their father's

non-violent diplomacy, while Nikolaus believed peace came through

armed intervention. Nikolaus split from his brother and formed the

Legion, taking with him those fed up with passive leadership, and the

factions made war. Only one brother can claim the throne. Let the

Battle for Reatha begin!

Setup

17


● Players can agree on what game mode to play. If there is not an

agreement the first player to declare a “deadlock” will toss a coin.

Heads is “Capture the Crystal”, Tails is “Attrition”.

● Players can agree on a terrain and weather type to use.

○ Players draw the map they chose on the game board by using

the illustration guide below.

○ If no agreement can be reached either player can declare a

“deadlock”. The player who calls the deadlock will roll a D8 die

to determine the terrain type. The other player will roll a D8 die

to determine a weather type.

○ Terrain Die Values

■ 1 and 3 are Plains

■ 2 and 4 are Desert

■ 5 and 7 are Mountains

18


■ 6 and 8 are Marshlands

○ Weather Die Values

■ 1 and 7 are Clear Weather

■ 2 and 4 are Thunderstorms

■ 3 and 5 are Windstorms

■ 6 and 8 are Blizzards

● The youngest player calls which side they want Crimson or Legion.

● Each player will select a class, then a profession for the Hero Unit.

○ Each player can have the same hero unit class and profession.

● Next they will simultaneously pick 7 normal units for their side of the

game board.

● Place units on the field in the Green 9x4 starting area grid

○ The units will be numbered 1 through 8. 1 will always be the

Hero unit.

○ The unit info cards will be placed under the starting area in two

horizontal rows of 4. The top left card will be 1(the hero unit)

and the bottom right will be 8.

○ The numbered spot the unit card is in is what unit piece

represents that unit on the game board.

● Draw 8 crystal shard cards from the Crystal Shard Stockpile

● The first player to finish placing their units and drawing their crystal

shard cards will get to toss a coin to determine who moves first. The

other player will get to call heads or tails. The winner of the toss

makes the first move.

● Start Game

19


Illustration guide Down below are the guides on how to draw the maps for Battle for Reatha

and the rules for each Terrain type.

Terrain Legend

20


Plains- This map is a good place for beginners to start playing to learn the

basics of the game.

● No special modifiers on this map type

21


Desert

● Soft Sand - The brown patches of soft sand on the map will reduce

the move range of units that cross them. Moving across soft sand

cost 2 movement points per tile. (i.e. A soldier with 5 move range

moves across the soft sand tile, because it costs 2 move range the

easiest way to calculate the move range would be dividing by 2, if the

number is not an even number round upwards. Allowing the soldier to

move a total of 3 spaces in the soft sand. Magic Cloak will be

effective in soft sand ignoring terrain penalties.)

22


Mountains

● Mist- When one unit is inside the purple mist tiles they receive + 2 to

their evasion stat. When two units are inside of the mist and they both

fight each other no evasion is gained.

● The only units that can travel over mountains(impassable terrain), or

stay on them are units with the Magic Cloak card.

23


Marshlands

● Haze is indicated by the tan tiles on the map.

○ Makes it so players cannot attack each other if they are on

opposite sides of the haze,

○ When players are inside the haze they can attack each other.

○ If one unit is in the haze and another is outside the haze, then

they still can’t attack each other.

How to play Battle for Reatha:

Pick your game mode:

Attrition: The goal in this gametype is to wipe out all of the opposing

player’s forces, or kill their Hero unit, whichever comes first.

Capture the Crystal: The goal of this game mode is for players to

capture the Crystal located in the enemy starting area and bring it back to

their own Crystal spawn point. In order to pick up the Crystal a unit needs

to be in an adjacent tile. Picking up the Crystal will be the last action that

unit can perform for that turn. Once the unit picks up the Crystal the player

will place a coin under that unit piece on the board. To score the player

needs to bring the enemy Crystal back to their Crystal spawn point. If a unit

dies it will be placed on the respawn point and if more than one unit dies

the units will be placed on the side of the board in the order that they died.

Every turn the player will respawn one unit in the order they died in as long

as the respawn point is clear. The player cannot pass the Crystal from unit

to unit. Once the carrying unit dies the Crystal is dropped where the unit

died. If the player gets their own Crystal and returns it to their Crystal

spawn point they will be awarded 1 Crystal Shard. It is possible to score

even when the players own Crystal is not at their Crystal spawn point.

General Gameplay:

How to Start your Turn:

Shopping Phase

The player will have the choice of spending their Crystal Shards for

equipment, items, and changing the weather. Players are only permitted to

buy equipment, items, and weather before they start their Movement /

Combat phase. To purchase these things the player must have the

appropriate amount of crystal shards. The player will then declare what

they intend to buy and show the other player that they have the right

amount of crystal shards for the purchase. They will then place the Crystal

Shard cards and place them back in the Crystal Stockpile, and then take

the item(s) they wanted. This phase is also when the player will apply any

effects from weather they may have purchased.

Equipment, Misc Items, and Weather Cost

● All bronze tier equipment will cost 1 Crystal Shard

● All Silver tier equipment will cost 2 Crystal Shards

● All Crystal tier equipment will cost 3 Crystal Shards

● HP potion, attack, defense, evasion, and movement elixirs all cost 3

Crystal Shards

● Magic Cloak cost 5 Crystal Shards

● Changing the weather cost 5 Crystal Shards

Equipping Phase

This phase begins once the player starts to equip their units with the gear

they purchased in the Shopping Phase. The player will announce what unit

is getting what gear and/or effect from a miscellaneous item. Once the

player finishes equipping gear and items the phase is over.

How to use Equipment, Item and weather cards.

All equipment cards as well as the elixir items are to be placed under the

unit info card. they need to be placed in a certain order in order to maintain

readability. On the hero unit these cards will be placed underneath the

profession card. The order below is the proper order for cards to be

26


stacked, 1 being on top 4 being on bottom.

1. Weapon

2. Armor

3. Helmet

4. Misc. Item

Cards such as “Magic Cloak” and “HP Potion” will be placed on top of the

unit info card that is using the item. The card will remain there until the

items duration ends.

Weather cards will be placed on the right side of the game board and will

remain there until the weather is changed by a player. The weather card

that is showing is the active weather and when it is switched simply place

the desired weather on the top of the previous weather card.

Movement / Combat Phase

This phase begins once a player starts moving or attacking with a unit.

Once the phase begins players are not permitted to go back to a previous

phase. During this phase the player may choose to move and/or attack with

all of their units. They may also end their turn by declaring “End turn”, once

a player says this they are not allowed to change their mind.

Rules for Movement

Units are able to move in four directions, up, down, left, and right. There is

no diagonal movement in this game. Units are allowed to move in multiple

directions during their movement. For example, a unit with the soldier class

has a Move Range stat or “Move Rng” of 5, the player can move the unit 3

up, 1 left, and 1 up. The “Move Rng” stat determines how many tiles a unit

can move. In the above example the Soldier class has a “Move Rng” of 5

allowing it to move a maximum of 5 tiles.

Units are not able to move over impassable terrain unless they are under

the effect of the “Magic Cloak” item. Units are also not able to attack and

then move, movement can only occur before a unit attacks. Units cannot

exist on the same tile for any reason. However, units may move through

friendly units but they may not move through enemy units.

27


Rules for Combat

A unit can move then attack or it can just attack, attacking is the final action

a unit can perform. There are two conditions that need to be met in order

for a unit to attack. First the target unit needs to be in the attacking unit’s

attack range. Second the target needs to be in the attacking unit’s line of

sight.

Attack range is determined by the “Atk Rng” stat. If a unit has an “Atk Rng”

of 5 they can attack a unit that is up to 5 tiles away. Diagonal attacks are

not possible, attacks follow the same rule that movement does in being four

directional. For example, the Sniper class has an “Atk Rng” of 7 meaning it

can hit a unit that is 4 tiles right, 2 tiles up, and 1 tile right, for a total of 7

tiles.

Line of sight is determined by a non-numerical method. The player must

draw an imaginary line to their target unit. If this line crosses any

impassable terrain, enemy units that are not the intended target, or haze on

the marshlands map the target is not in the attacking unit’s line of sight.

(For an example of this rule see the figure below)

28


Once both of these conditions are satisfied the player has the choice to

attack. If the player chooses to attack they can choose from a normal

attack or they can use their units special attack. A normal attack deals

damage by following the formula (Attack - Defense = Damage to HP). For

example A soldier unit attacks an archer unit. The soldier has an “Atk” of 7

and the archer has a “Def” of 1, the soldier will deal 6 damage to the

archer’s HP. The “Atk” stat can be increased or decreased by equipment,

misc. items, and weather effects.

Special Attacks work in a different manner. When being attacked by a

special attack the damage is a fixed amount but it bypasses the defending

units defense. For example, a knight unit uses its special attack Stab which

on an enemy knight. The enemy knight would take 2 points of damage

directly to its HP.

29


Evasion and Retaliation

When a unit is being attacked they have a chance to dodge the attack or

special attack. The player will roll a D20 when their opponent declares an

attack. If the roll is less than or equal to the defending units evasion stat,

which is their “Eva”, they will dodge the attack. If the roll is greater than the

“Eva” stat the unit will take damage. There is a hard limit cap of 10 on the

“Eva” stat. No unit can exceed this number for any reason and any

bonuses that a unit receives that would put this number above 10 are

ignored.

Regardless of whether a unit takes damage or dodges the attack they can

retaliate against the attacker. Retaliations are only allowed to be normal

attacks and can only be executed if the attacker is in range and line of

sight. When a unit retaliates against its attacker the attacking unit is able to

try and evade the retaliation. If the evasion is successful the attacker will

take no damage and combat will end between the units, however if the

attacker fails to dodge it will take damage following the standard attack

formula (Atk - Def = HP Lost).

If a unit attacks multiple enemies at once then the defending player will roll

the D20 once and that roll will be applied to all units being attacked. Also

retaliation can only be conducted by the closet unit that is able to reach the

attacker. For example, a mage unit uses it’s Fire Bomb special attack and

hits 3 units with it. The center unit is a soldier, the one above that is a

sniper, and the one below the soldier is a mage. The soldier is two spaces

to the right of the attacking mage. The defending player rolls a D20 and

rolls a 4. The soldier has an “Eva” of 4, the sniper has an “Eva” of 5, and

the mage has an “Eva” of 3. The soldier and sniper both dodge the attack

but the mage takes damage. Even though all three units are in range to

retaliate the soldier is the closest unit and will be the only unit to retaliate.

Losing Units

When the HP of a player’s unit falls to 0, that unit is defeated. When a unit

is defeated it will be removed from the game board as well as all its

equipment and items, excluding anything looted by the opposing player. Do

not discard equipment or items until your opponent has completed their

turn. When a player loses a unit, they are given a Crystal Shard

immediately after the unit is removed from the game board. This applies to

each unit a player loses.

numbered glass counter clockwise 90 degrees. At the start of the player’s

next turn the player will rotate all of their units back to their original position.

Collection Phase

After the player completes their Movement / Combat phase they need to

gather all of their earned rewards and resources.

Crystal Wells

For each uncontested Crystal Well a player controls they will be awarded 1

Crystal Shard. A well is contested when units from both teams are in the

well. If a well is contested neither player will get a shard from that well.

Looting Defeated Enemies

For every unit that a player defeats in their Movement / Combat phase they

are allowed to take 1 item from each fallen unit. They can take an item or

equipment from their opponent’s fallen unit and give it to one of their own

units as long as it is for the appropriate class.
