Spectre: Operations 5

Foreword

Spectre: Operations has been designed to reflect the reality of modern combat while still retaining fun,

momentum and playability. It encourages the player to apply modern tactics to effectively command his

troops, or rely on numbers and brute force to achieve the aim. It stresses the importance of the individualsoldier and illustrates the many complexities of the modern battlespace. The rules can be used for

operations as small team-level skirmishes to task-force sized, fully fledged combat operations.

It encompasses, and is appropriate for the broad spectrum of combat operations seen on the world’s

battlefields today. It has been designed with input from operators with many years combat experienced

in real-world situations.

The operators consulted have, and will continue to advise on the rules, equipment, weapons and the style

of the models and game. Every effort will be made to remain at the cutting-edge of modern warfare to

allow the player to replicate or replay events, or design their own conflicts in this very uncertain world.

Introduction

Today’s battlefields are very different to those seen only as recently as 50 years ago, and we are currently

witnessing the development of a new kind of warfare. Pitched battles where large numbers of troops on

either side are fighting for domination of the land or attrition of the enemy force are no longer common.

The large, cumbersome armies of the past have been replaced by small groups of fighters, fighting forcarefully selected strategic objectives of a campaign. These range from communications nodes, essential

infrastructure, headquarters and facilities to the people. Strategic effect is caused by the tactical action of

small groups. Often these objectives are in urban areas or in areas of critical infrastructure or resources.

This often means operating within densely populated areas, where the locals attempt to go about their

daily lives despite the sporadic but very fierce fighting going on around them. The conflict is no longer

as much over land as it is for support of a population; winning the favour of an area’s residents is a key

factor in deciding which factions will hold influence.

The result is extremely complex battlespace, where careful selection and prosecution of the mission isessential; and precision, collateral damage and tactical resources need to be carefully considered. The

acts of individual soldiers play a far larger part in the conflict than large standing armies, vehicles, artillery

and aircraft once did. Skill at arms, leadership and tactics are the deciding factor in which opponent will

attain victory, and often the lines defining victory are blurry as the cost of war is finally tallied. It is an age

belonging to determined bands of insurgents, patrolling squads of soldiers, paid mercenaries, private

security companies, and deadly teams of highly enabled special forces operators. The wars of the modern

era are thus characterised as intense skirmishes, the like of which has scarcely been witnessed before in

the history of warfare.

Spectre: Operations 6

Spectre: Operations is a miniatures game designed to simulate modern infantry combat on the

tabletop. Using models and miniatures to represent armed forces, structures and terrain the close range

and tense nature of modern skirmish warfare can be recreated on your tabletop or gaming board. To

become a skilled player, you must develop tactical flair, grasp the subtleties of force selection and the

timely management of your battlefield assets. It is less important to commit characteristics and rulesto memory, as it is to know how to use what you have and to be able to identify weakness in your

opponent’s tactics, force and capabilities to achieve your objectives to bring home victory!

This easy to learn, yet challenging and realistic rules will give you the systems and principles you need to

play games of Spectre: Operations using miniatures and models from our range of products.

In Game ConventionsSpectre: Operations uses several gaming principles that are standard across the rules. These are the

foundation of how the rules operate, and they are detailed in the sections below.

Units of MeasurementAll measurements in the game are in inches. There are no fractions or decimals of an inch used and all

measurements are to the whole inch. Measurements are usually made using a tape measure, straight

ruler or templates of specific sizes.

DiceThese rules use six-sided (D6) dice. It can be beneficial to have different colour or sized D6 dice for normal

rolls-offs and various other uses, as well as mark models on the board such as for suppression and bleedout

rules purposes. This can make it easier to keep track of which dice is representing what on the board.

Drift diceCertain circumstances, such as a failed targeting roll when throwing an object or a failed direct hit from

air support will require you roll a ‘Drift Dice’. This is a special 6 sided dice with arrows on each facing.

When it is rolled the direction of the arrow is the direction that the shot will drift in. A further D6 roll

usually indicates the distance in inches of the drift.

Roll-offsA roll-off is used to determine how some actions are resolved. In these circumstances, the player initiating

the action and the player defending against it both roll a dice and add the value of a the appropriatecharacteristic in the models’ profile to the dice score. Any modifiers that are applicable are added to or

subtracted from the dice roll. Whichever player has the highest final score wins the roll-off.

ModifiersModifiers are bonuses or penalties to dice scores depending on conditions as detailed later in the rules.

They are either added to the dice score (e.g. +2) or subtracted (e.g. -1.) The number left after modifiers

have been applied is the final score for the roll. Modifiers are cumulative and several may be apply to a

single roll, both + & -. They must all be applied to resolve the outcome of the roll.

Spectre: Operations 7

TestsSometimes a model must pass a test in order to perform a certain type of action. In these tests, a dice is

rolled, any applicable modifiers are then applied and the final score is compared to a characteristic in a

model’s profile. If the final score is equal or below the characteristic, the test is passed and the model may

perform the action as detailed in the rules.

Field of viewUnless otherwise noted, a model has 180 degree field of view. Measured from the direction the model

is facing. The direction a model is facing is usually the way the direction the models face is pointing.

Sometimes this may not be clear, when a model is pointing one direction and looking in another. In this

case it would be more appropriate to have the direction the model is pointing to be the facing. It may be

a good idea to put a small mark on the base to avoid confusion.

Line of sightSome actions require line of sight between models. This means that the targeted model must be visible

from the perspective of each model as they are on the board. This may involve one or both players

aligning their eyes behind a model on the board and seeing whether the other model is still visible. This

may be tricky in some situations and good sportsmanship and honesty is often required!

What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG)Any gear and weapons that the model has been given must be represented on the model. For example,

a model that is operating within the rules as being armed with a machine gun must have a machine

gun on the model etc. In some cases it may be hard to represent an item clearly, in which case the

player must inform his opponent that a model has a particular item in it’s inventory. Again, honesty andsportsmanship are important.

Base size.There is no strict requirement on the size of base a model must be mounted on. We recommend that

20mm round bases are the most suitable, although 25mm should be the maximum to allow figures to

exploit their environment efficiently!

ProfilesIn the theatres of modern conflict, there is a great deal of variation in training and ability between

different groups of combatants, ranging from gunmen with no formal military training whatsoever toexceptionally trained Special Forces operators and everything in between.

Each model’s abilities and skills are defined and represented by a profile, containing five characteristics:

Shooting (S) defines how skilled a model is at making ranged attacks.

Defence (D) defines how skilled a model is at evading fire and presenting a minimal target.

Page 8: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 8/77

Spectre: Operations 8

Agility (A) defines how fit and nimble a model is and how easily they move through difficult terrain and

scale obstacles.

Combat (C) defines how skilled a model is at fighting in close combat.

Command (CD) defines how competent a leader and tactician a model is. The second number in

brackets is the unit commanders characteristic which applies to that model.

PROFILE TIERSIn Spectre: Operations there are three profile tiers that represent the different skill levels of combatants.

The difference between these profiles has a huge impact on the performance of the combatants in game.

The profiles are as follows:

Elite

This tier represents the very best armed forces units in the world including special forces operators,

intelligence agents and the most experienced private contractors.

  S D A C CD

Elite 6 3 5 6 4 (5)

Professional

This tier represents the bulk of the world’s standing armies. Trained to a high standard, they includenational armies, experienced rebel forces, peacekeeping forces and private military contractors.

  S D A C CD

Professional 5 2 4 4 3 (4)

Militia

This tier represents groups and forces who have little to no formal military training beyond basic firearms

proficiency and operation. These untrained and irregular forces include loosely organised armed civilian

militia and “freedom fighters,” organised criminals, small resistance groups and insurgent forces.

S D A C CD

Militia 4 1 3 2 2 (3)

The Turn Sequence

Page 10: Spectre Rules v1.0

Spectre: Operations 10

The Turn Sequence

The game turns are split into five phases:

1. Initiative Phase2. Command Phase

3. Movement and Tactical Action Phase

4. Ranged Combat Phase

5. Close Combat Phase

This is to best simulate decision making and actions in combat. It logically flows through ascertaining

which side has the initiative, issuing orders, tactical movement and the employment of enablers, weapons

fire and close combat. While in reality, these would be going on concurrently among the various

combatants, we believe this to be the best system to ‘play’ combat.

Each phase is dealt with in sequence, and all players will complete any given phase before the next one

commences. So for example all players will move their models before progressing to the shooting phase.

Who will act first in each phase depends on the outcome of the initiative phase as described in this

section. The specific details of each turn phase are described below:

Example: The player with the higher initiative will complete their command phase first, then their

opponent. The player with the higher initiative moves their models, then the opponent moves his,

and so on.

The Initiative PhaseIn combat, victory will be won by the force that moves with speed, surprise and violence of action. All

sides of the battle are engaged in a constant struggle to gain or maintain situational awareness and

initiative, to allow them to out manoeuvre, outgun and outwit their enemy. To represent this, each

opponent has the opportunity to determine who will act first in each of the turn phases.

To resolve initiative, one player per side rolls a dice and the player with the highest score gains the

initiative and will act first in each phase of the next turn. Modifiers or scenario conditions can be applied

to influence this. In the case of more than two sides (3 or four player games, each with an independent

force), players will complete their actions in order of the initiative scores in each phase. If the result of theroll is a draw, roll again until a victor is decided and an order of initiative is determined.

In addition, a bonus modifier based on combat performance may apply to the roll. Each player will gain a

+1 bonus for each point of suppression that they inflict on the opponents models.

The Command PhaseCommanders play a pivotal role on the battlefield. They are able to lead and direct the men under their

command, and are indispensable in resolving tense situations where the momentum of an attack slows

Page 11: Spectre Rules v1.0

Spectre: Operations 11

down, or the fortitude of defence begins to crumble. They are there to guide their force to the mission

objectives that must be achieved, and to get the force away from the battlefield safely once the mission

is completed. Without them, tactical plans are difficult to execute and force cohesion can quickly be lost -

seriously compromising combat effectiveness.

The command phase allows the players to attempt to make a variety of special actions known as

command actions. Different command actions have varying effects, and are detailed later in this section.

As with all other turn phases, the player who has the initiative goes first.

In order to perform a command action a model must pass a command test. This is to illustrate the

difficulty of decision-making and communications in combat. To do this the player rolls a D6, factors in

any modifiers, and then compares the final score to the command characteristic of the model’s profile. If

the score is equal or below then the test is passed and the model may perform the action. However, if a

test is failed no further command tests may be attempted in that command phase.

Commanders function by boosting the probability that a model will be able to initiate a command action,

any model within 6” of a commander model may use the commander’s command characteristic to

determine the outcome of the command test.

Command Action: OverwatchA miniature must take a command test to go onto overwatch. If the model passes the command test it

may shoot in the opponent’s movement phase, but may not move in the player’s own movement phase

or shoot again in the shooting phase. While on overwatch remember each models field of view is 180

degrees in the direction the model is facing. Take care to ensure it is facing the direction you want to becovered!

Overwatch is removed from the model if it moves or becomes supressed.

As soon as an enemy model moves into line of sight of a model on overwatch, the player may choose to

make a ranged attack on the target, made at -1 on top of any other modifiers to illustrate the difficulty

of snap shooting at moving targets. Once the opponent has moved a model through or into line of sight

of the model on overwatch, the player may declare that they wish to shoot at the model that moved,

and resolves the shooting as if the model was still in the open. This is still allowed even if the model has

moved between areas of cover - if there is line of sight during the move then a ranged attack may bemade. If the target moved between two of the shooter’s range intervals, the shortest one available is

used to resolve shooting. If multiple models were moved into line of sight of the model, the player must

declare which of the models are being targeted before making a ranged attack. Any weapon rules that

apply to the weapon function normally during overwatch.

Command Action: Rally TroopsA player may also make a command test to reduce the number of suppression points that applies to a

model. To do so, take a command test, and if it is successful you can reduce the number of suppression

Page 12: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 12/77

Spectre: Operations 12

points that apply to the model by the dice score that was the result of the command test. A player may

attempt to reduce the suppression from any number of models as long as a command test is still available

to them.

Example: An elite model has suffered 6 suppression points. The player decides to try and rally him. Theelite command characteristic is 4, meaning he must score a 4 for a successful rally. The player rolls a 2,

meaning that the test is passed and the model may remove 2 suppression points. The opponent wants

to rally a militia model. A militia model has a command value of 2, but luckily the model’s commander

is within 6” so the commander’s value of 3 can be used to make the test. A 4 is rolled meaning that the

rally attempt was unsuccessful.

Command Action: Tactical MovementUsing the environment, keeping low and situational awareness vital. Although slowing your movement, it

will give you the edge in combat.

You may make a command test for a model to use tactical movement. When using this action, the model

will only move as far as it’s agility statistic during the movement phase, but it will gain an extra +1 to

defence. If moving through difficult terrain, the model will move half it’s agility statistic rounding up.

Tactical movement also allows the use of Tactical Actions which are detailed at the end of the movement

phase. You may use Tactical Movement to make a stealthy close assault move.

Tactical movement remains in play until the model makes a normal move or makes another command

action.

The Movement and Tactical Action Phase

Positioning of troops and weapons is critical to combat effectiveness, and the careful planning of

movement is a huge part of tactical awareness. A large part of the success of tactical movement involves

using terrain and cover to shield your forces from enemy observation and fire, and use it to move into aposition where you can strike at the enemy with overwhelming force and achieve your mission objectives.

The movement phase is when the players move their models around the board. The movement phase is

completed in the order of initiative scores as detailed earlier.

MovementAll infantry models are permitted to move up to 6” in the movement phase. A model must complete its

entire movement before another model is moved. A model may not be moved part of its movement, then

another model moved, and then the first model moved the rest of its movement.

Combat SprintOften, all that lies between a soldier and certain death is a desperate dash between cover.

A model may perform a Combat Sprint instead of a normal move by moving 6” plus it’s Agility

characteristic. If a model performs a Combat Sprint it may not shoot its weapon in the Shooting Phase.

A Combat Sprint may not be used to charge an enemy model, although the model may defend itself as

normal if it is charged itself.

Close CombatModels may be moved into base contact with enemy models to initiate Close Combat. To do this, move

the model so that its base is touching the base of the target model. In this situation, the moving model’s

turn ends as soon as its base comes into contact with the target models base. Both are now considered to

be locked in hand-to-hand combat. A model that is fighting in Close Combat cannot move even if it had

not yet moved that turn. All models in Close Combat forgo their Shooting phase and fight in the Close

Combat phase which is detailed later.

Difficult TerrainModern battlefields can occupy any environment and usually present an array of challenging areas to

move through. This can range from dense equatorial rainforest, to craggy mountain passes, to rubblestrewn streets, flowing water or frozen snow. Such environments can present serious challenges to the

movement of troops in these areas.

Difficult Terrain will hinder your troops movement and slow your advance. Difficult Terrain includes any

features such as ruined buildings, bombed streets, dense jungle slow moving or shallow water, barbed or

razor wire and any other type of terrain that would serve to hinder movement or cause extra caution.

Players should agree which areas of the board count as Difficult Terrain before the start of the game.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 15/77

Spectre: Operations 15

When entering, moving through or leaving any part of Difficult Terrain, models can only move a distance

equal to their Agility characteristic.

Climbing

A model is permitted to climb or down any object greater than 1/2” and up to 1” in height. To do thisan agility test must be made. If the test is successful the object has been climbed, place the model on the

other side of any obstacle or on top of it, dictated by the size of the object being climbed over or on to.as

appropriate. If the test is failed, the model remains in contact with the obstacle unclimbed.

Leg-up!To allow the rapid crossing of walls, it may be necessary for a solder to help his team mates over the

obstacle by acting as a living step. To perform this action any model in contact with an obstacle of up to

1½” tall may be used to allow any other models to cross that point unhindered after a successful agility

roll. Models in contact with objects up to 2” inches tall may help other models cross as if it is difficult

terrain after a successful agility roll.

Impassable terrain.Deep or fast flowing water, cliff faces or any other agreed on physical barrier are classed as impassable

unless the model is equipped with an item from the armoury which negates this (see the armoury

section).

Dangerous terrainMinefields, multiple coils of razor wire, high voltage electric fences, traps or other defences can pose

serious threat to a model attempting to cross them. Make an agility test every for every inch you wish tomove through the area of dangerous terrain, roll these all at once. If a failure is rolled the model suffers

a hit with a lethality of 6+, with a +1 modifier to lethality for every subsequent failed roll. The model is

moved as many inches as agility tests that were passed to a minimum of 1”. Some items in the armoury

may negate these effects.

Moving with a Captive or CasualtyA scenario condition or winning a close combat may result in capturing an enemy model. The captor

and captive model may move, but their movement is reduced as the captive needs to be restrained and

encouraged to move. In addition, a model may be giving a casualty first aid and may wish to move the

casualty to a safer location. In both cases the same rules apply.

If a model has a captive or casualty it may only move equal to its Agility characteristic and the captive or

casualty must remain in base to base contact.

Moving Through FlamesSome areas of the board or objects may be burning as the result of scenario conditions, destroyed

vehicles or incendiary weapons. Any object or area that is burning is referred to as being ablaze. A model

may not move into flames if it’s maximum movement does not allow it to pass through and out of the

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 16/77

Spectre: Operations 16

area that is ablaze. In order to negotiate the flames safely, a model must pass an agility test. If the test is

passed then the model moves carefully through the flames and to the limit of its remaining movement.

If the test is failed, the model receives a single hit with a lethality of 6+. If the lethality roll fails to inflict a

fatal wound then the model becomes a casualty and must be placed at the immediate perimeter of the

burning area.

Tactical ActionsTactical Actions represent the use of non-lethal equipment that is intended to give a tactical advantage on

the battlefield. These can range from throwing a stun grenade, setting up a rappelling rope, breaching an

obstacle, storming a building or marking a target with a target designator.

Tactical Actions do not require a test to use and unless noted otherwise, One tactical action may be

performed by each model per turn. They can also take place at any time during tactical movement.

Note it is best to resolve all tactical moves and activities before all other movement. This allows you to

stun enemy models effectively ‘pinning’ them in place for the rest of your models to exploit, or a smoke

screen to be deployed covering the movement of your other models.

Stun and smoke grenadesAlthough thrown weapons, the non-lethal and tactical nature of stun and smoke grenades requires them

to be used in the movement and tactical action phase. A tactical action may be performed to allow a

model to make an attack using either a stun or smoke grenade. This is resolved in the same manner as a

standard thrown weapon ranged attack as listed below. An enemy model does not have to be the target

of the attack as explained in the thrown weapons section of the armoury. These ranged attacks will stilldrift as explained in the Ranged Combat Phase. One non-lethal grenade may be thrown per equipped

model, per phase Movement and Tactical Action Phase.

Spectre: Operations 17

BreachingA model using tactical movement and armed with breaching tools, or a weapon or gear that has the

breaching special rule (a shotgun may only breach a doorway, gate or similar object) may make a

breaching action. To do this the model must move into base contact with the intended breaching point.

Roll a D6 and refer to the chart below to check the required score to make a breaching action. Someweapons or gear confer a bonus to the roll, which are detailed in the armoury.

Target D6 Score To Breach

Standard door 3

Barricaded door 5

Wire, corrugated iron, wood fence 5

Mud, brick or block wall 5

Concrete or thick adobe wall 7

If a breach is successful, place a 1” wide marker to represent the breached area. Models can now move

through this area unhindered. This area also counts as open for purposes of line of sight when making a

ranged attack.

If the test is failed the chance to pass will be made at +1 in the next attempt.

After a successful breaching action and any other tactical actions have taken place, any models within

2” of the edge of the breaching marker may make one free move to enter the building from the breach

point, even if they made a tactical move or made the full allowed movement in the movement phase

already. This is a ‘storming action’ and how to resolve it is detailed in the shooting section.

No further models may move into or out of the building unless they are making another breaching action.

Occupying buildings

Buildings can be entered through any door, providing it isn’t locked (this can be agreed before the gameor will be detailed in scenarios special rules). Any doorway can be entered with no penalty.

Windows can be entered by making an agility test, provided the window isn’t barred and is modelled to

at a size that is can be assumed to be big enough to fit a model through.

Buildings are assumed to be large enough to fit many people in, so there are no restrictions on how many

models can occupy a building.

Page 18: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 18/77

Spectre: Operations

Each floor of a building must be occupied separately. It takes one full turn of movement to move

between floors.

It is a good idea to put a marker on or beside occupied buildings to remind you where your models are.

You can put the actual models at the side of the table in a group.

BarricadingA model occupying a building may forgo their entire turn (movement, shooting and close assault) to

barricade one facing of a building. Any entrance on a barricaded facing of a building can no longer be

moved through and ranged attacks may not be made through it. The only way to clear the barricade is

through a breaching action. Models occupying the building may remove the barricade in the same way as

it was set up.

Ranged Combat Phase

Weapons fire is without any doubt the most critical aspect of modern combat. The ability to put rounds

on target quickly and accurately will have by far the largest impact on the outcome of the battle.

However, a weapon is only as good as the person firing it, and training will make a huge difference to theeffectiveness of any weapons fire on a target.

In the Ranged Combat Phase models with weapons capable of delivering a ranged attack, including

thrown weapons, may use it to target enemy models. The player with the initiative shoots first or throws

with any models they wish to, and then the opponent shoots or throws with their models. Each model

may only make one ranged attack per turn and you must complete a model’s ranged attack before

moving onto another model.

To make a ranged attack, you must first nominate one of your models and then nominate a target model.

Then resolve the ranged attack using the conditions below.

Shooting and MovementA model may make its normal 6” move, Tactical Move or a Difficult Terrain move and fire its weapon

without any modifiers, unless otherwise stated in the weapon special rules.

Line of SightAll direct fire weapons (excluding grenades and grenade launchers)can only be fired when there is a clear

trajectory between the weapons and the target. Therefore there must be a clear line of sight between the

shooter and the target.

A model may only shoot at what it can see. Trace a line of sight from the model by drawing an imaginary

line from the shooter to the target. If the line is blocked by terrain or intervening models there is the

chance the target cannot be seen at all or is partially obscured making it harder to hit.

Unless a model is equipped with a weapon that has a special rule allowing it to ignore line of sight, there

must be a line of sight from the shooter to the target in order for the shooter to take a shot.

If you can see any part of a model in line of sight, that model may be targeted for a ranged attack.

Targeting RollsIf the target is within Line of Sight you can then make a targeting roll, and if the roll is successful then the

target is hit and lethality is resolved.

To make a targeting roll, the player who is shooting rolls a dice and adds the model’s shooting

characteristic. The opponent who has been targeted rolls a dice and adds their model’s defence

characteristic. Then both players factor in any applicable modifiers and then final score is calculated for

each roll.

Page 21: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 21/77

Spectre: Operations

If the shooting player equals or exceeds the opponent’s final score then the shot is successful. If the score

is lower, the shot misses and has no effect.

In the case of a shooter firing multiple shots with one weapon at a target (where allowed,) the target may

only roll one dice for defence against the entire shooting attack. If a model is shot at by multiple enemymodels, each shot is dealt with individually as normal.

Example: A militia model targets an enemy professional model with his assault rifle. A D6 is rolled

 scoring a 5, the militia shooting value of 4 is then added totalling 9. The target is in the open and wears

no body armour and so has a defence of 2. A score of 4 is rolled on a D6 resulting in a total defence of 6.

The militia player’s total score of 9 beats the opponents total of 6, resulting in a successful shot.

CoverModels make use of cover to conceal and protect themselves from enemy fire. Cover adds a bonus to the

opponent’s defence rolls when they are being shot at.

Type of Cover Defence Modifier

Bushes/Light foliage/Tall grass +1

Barricades/Vehicles +1

Thick Foliage/Trees +2

Buildings/ High Walls +2

Smoke Template +2

Fortifications/Sandbags/Bunkers +3

Example: An elite model targets the opponent’s militia model with his assault rifle. A roll of 1 is added

to the elite shooting value of 6, giving a final value of 7. The opponent rolls a 6 for his defence giving a

total value of 7, however the militia model is standing in thick foliage giving it an additional +1 to their

defence, making the total 8. The targeting roll is unsuccessful.

RangeFor purposes of the game, there is no maximum range for most ranged weapons, as almost all weapons

have a greater effective range than the scale extents of a gaming board. Instead, each weapon has a

Range Interval. For each Range Interval beyond the first interval between the shooting model and the

target, the shooter is subject to a -1 modifier on any roll to hit.

21

Page 22: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 22/77

Spectre: Operations

For example an assault rifle has a range interval of 24” so the following modifiers would apply to the roll

to hit:

Within the first interval of 0” - 24” = Nil

Within the second interval of 25” - 48” = -1

Within the third interval of 49” - 72” = -2

Example: The players professional model selects an enemy professional model to target for a ranged

attack with is assault rifle. The target is 32” away and standing behind a low wall. The shooter rolls a 3

on a D6 and adds his Shooting value of 5 to the roll. As the target is within the second range interval

(25” - 48”) there is a -1 penalty to the roll making the final result 7. The target rolls to add to his defence

of 2. He scores a 5 and gains a +1 to the result for cover giving a final total of 7. As the shooter scored a

7 and the target scored a 7 the ranged attack is successful.

Targets at close range require a lower total score to hit than targets at long range. This is relative to the

type of weapon being fired, for example a shotgun’s range intervals are much shorter than those of a

sniper rifle. The range interval is defined in the weapons’ profiles. Here are two examples:

Class Range Interval Lethality Special Rules

Combat Shotgun 6” 3+ Buckshot, Rapid Fire, Compact

Medium Sniper Rifle 36 2+ Scoped, Crew Served

So the shotgun is ideally suited to close range shooting, and the sniper rifle excels at long range.

Shooting with a Captive or CasualtyIf a model is handling a captive or casualty, it cannot shoot at all except with a sidearm if the model is

equipped with one.

Shooting at a Captive or CasualtyA ranged attack may be made at captive, captor, attending model or casualty, however if the targeting

rolls fails to hit the target then the other model is hit instead (you cannot target a friendly captive in the

hope that you will miss and hit the captor!). If the ranged attack causes a wound to the target then the

captive can go free, or the bleedout resumes on the casualty the target was attending.

If the models are caught inside the fire of an area effect weapon such as a fragmentation or incendiary

weapon then they are automatically hit.

22

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 23/77

Spectre: Operations

Shooting as a CasualtyCasualties can only shoot with a sidearm if they are equipped with one, but their shooting and defence

characteristics are halved rounding down to a minimum of 1.

Shooting at an inanimate object or point on the tabletop.Sometimes you may need to shoot something that isn’t an enemy model but a piece of terrain or point

on the table. This could occur when you are throwing an item, making a ranged attack with an explosive

or marking a target with a target designator.

To do this you must score an 8 or more on the targeting roll, following the normal rules for range

intervals.

If the ranged attack is failed and the weapon used to make the attack would normally use a template, it

will drift D6 in a random direction.

Shooting into and out of occupied buildingsWhile inside a building models can shoot from any facing that has windows, but all ranged attacks from

each model must be made from a single facing. A ranged attack may not be made against a target that

is in contact with the external wall of the building you are making the ranged attack from. They are

assumed to be in cover.

Ranged attacks may be made at models occupying a building, if the target/targets made a range attack in

this turn.

Any model with a suppression marker on them may not make a ranged attack from a building.

Wounds and LethalityA well placed shot may instantly kill the target, cause a serious wound or just inflict a minor flesh wound.

For each successful hit on the target, a lethality roll must be made to determine the severity of the target’s

wounds.

FatalitiesEach weapon has a lethality characteristic that determines how deadly it is. The lethality rating is the

score you need to beat on a lethality roll in order to inflict a fatal wound and kill the model outright. Theshooting player must make one lethality roll for each successful hit, if the score is equal to or greater than

the lethality characteristic of the weapon then the result is a fatal wound and the model is removed from

the board as a fatality. If a lethality roll fails to beat the lethality of the weapon, then the model becomes

a casualty. Here are four examples:

23

Page 24: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 24/77

Spectre: Operations

Class Lethality

Sub-machinegun 5+

Assault Rifle 4+

Medium Machinegun 3+

Heavy Sniper Rifle 2+

Casualties and BleedoutIf the score of the lethality roll is below the weapon’s Lethality but above 1, then the result is a

incapacitating wound and the model becomes a Casualty. The casualty is not removed from the board,

but if left untreated the Casualty will eventually succumb to its wound and become a Fatality.

When a model suffers a wound the owning player must make a Bleedout Roll. The resulting score of this

roll is the number of turns that the casualty will survive until it becomes a fatality. When the bleedout

time has been determined, place a dice or marker next to the casualty displaying the number of turns

remaining in the bleedout.

At the beginning of each turn and before any turn phases, this number is reduced by 1. Once the number

is reduced to zero then the model is removed as a fatality.

Example: A successful ranged attack has been resolved using a single shot from an assault rifle. Theassault rifle has a lethality of 4+. The shooter rolls for lethality and scores a 3, meaning the hit was not

fatal and so the target becomes a casualty. The opponents who controls the casualty now rolls a D6 to

determine how long it will take for the casualty to bleedout. A 3 is rolled meaning the casualty has 3

turns remaining until he becomes a fatality.

Lucky Escapes

If the result of a lethality roll is 1, then the shot has failed to cause any wound. The model is considered

to have had a lucky escape and suffers a minor flesh wound, or the round ricochets off a piece of body

armour etc. This has no further in game effect as it is assumed that the model is returned to the fight

unharmed.

Assured Lethality

Some exceptionally powerful weapons have a lethality of 1+, in this case any wound sustained from such

a weapon will be sufficiently devastating to the target that a fatal wound is inevitable. Any model that

sustains a hit from such a weapon automatically becomes a fatality. A lethality roll is not required, and no

“lucky escapes” are possible.

24

Page 25: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 25/77

Spectre: Operations

Shooting at Casualties

Casualties may be shot at as normal, and if the casualty sustains any additional hits then it is immediately

removed as a fatality regardless of weapon lethality. This may happen in a single ranged attack where

multiple shots were fired from one weapon, in which case the casualty becomes a fatality if a second hit

is sustained. These fatalities count toward initiative modifiers as normal.

First Aid

A friendly model may attempt to prevent a casualty from becoming a fatality. If a friendly model moves

into contact with the casualty, then the bleedout is paused until the friendly model breaks contact.

Shooting and movement with a casualty is described in the previous sections.

Suppression

In the intense situation of a firefight, it can sometimes be difficult to maintain a cool head and execute

plans quickly. Often, the more fire that is directed at a combatant, the more their combat effectiveness

is eroded. When concentrated fire and explosives are being hurled at you to pin you down, carefully laid

plans and manoeuvres give way to pure survival instinct!

Each time a ranged attack is made against one of your models, the model is subject to 1 suppression

point regardless if the model is hit or not. Some weapons benefit from special weapon rules that

allow them to inflict even more suppression per shot, these are detailed in the armoury. The effect is

cumulative, and when under heavy fire models can be suppressed into near-inaction.

When a model gains a suppression point, place a dice or marker next to the model displaying the number

of suppression points currently applying to the model.

Each point of suppression carries a -1 penalty to movement, as well as -1 to the model’s shooting

characteristics.

Models lose one suppression point at the beginning of the command phase. The number removed can be

increased by Rally Troops! as detailed in the Command Action section.

Example: A player’s model targets an opponent’s model with an assault rifle and decides to use the rapid

rife rule. Two ranged attacks are resolved resulting in one success and one fail. Because the target was

 subject to two ranged attacks it suffers two points of suppression, even though one of them was failed.

Example: An elite model wearing body armour and behind a high wall is targeted by a militia model

using an assault rifle using the rapid fire rule. Both targeting rolls are failed, resulting in 2 points of

 suppression but no damage caused to the elite model. It is then targeted by a militia model with a light

machine gun. Again, all targeting rolls are failed, but an additional 3 suppression points are added

totalling 5 points. Yet another militia model makes a successful ranged attack on the elite model, this

time with an RPG. The targeting roll this time is successful, but a 1 is rolled for lethality giving the target

a lucky escape! however, the RPG has the frag rule which adds another 2 suppression giving a total of

25

Page 26: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 26/77

Spectre: Operations

7 suppression points! If the player wants to move the elite model in the next turn a successful rally test

must be made to remove command points, or suffer a -7 to his movement forcing the model to combat

 sprint if the player wants to move it and denying the use of the model in the shooting phase.

Storming a building(Optional rule if you are using scenery that you cannot physically place figures inside)

If you storm a building as the result of a breaching action you must resolve the action during the shooting

phase. Storming a building is decisive and bloody, ending with either the defending team or storming

team the clear winner.

To resolve the action the defender must roll 1D6 for every model occupying the building or floor that is

being breached. The defence value of each model (remember this will be 1 if the occupiers are stunned)

is then added to the score along with any other modifier that would usually be added for a targeting roll

(body armour for instance). All models occupying a building count as being in +2 cover, with a further +1

if the breach was initiated from a barricaded facing (detailed in the movement section). The final result

after all modifiers is the occupiers collective defence value.

The storming team now roll D6 for every member taking part in the storming action and add their

shooting values to the score. You then will +1 for each member wearing body armour and +1 for every

shotgun, compact weapon or dog being used in the action. The total will be the Storming parties final

score.

The team with the highest final score is the winner. The winner may make a lethality roll against thelosing team for every point they beat their opponents total with. Due to the extreme close range of shots

fired during room clearing this will always be resolved with 2+ fatality (a roll of 1 is a lucky escape).

If the storming party is the winner, instead of rolling for lethality they may choose to take 1 captive for

every member of the storming party.

Any survivors are placed in contact with an entrance on the outside of the building with 1 point of

suppression. He may not make a ranged attack this turn but otherwise can act normally in their next

turn. They may be targeted by any model which has not yet made a range attack or was not involved in a

storming action.

The Close Assault Phase

At times, combat gets so close that it is not practical to attempt to defeat the enemy through gunfire

alone. Initiating a close assault is detailed in the movement phase.

Fighting in Close CombatIf a model has been moved into contact with an enemy in the movement phase, then the assault is

resolved in the close assault phase. To do this, each player makes a combat roll, and adds a dice score to

the combat characteristic of the models involved in the assault. Any modifiers are then applied and the

final scores are calculated. If the result is a draw, the rolls must be taken again - close combat is decisive

and may not last longer than a single turn. The player with the highest score of the combat roll has won

the fight, and may kill or capture the enemy model as described later in this section.

Assaulting Models in CoverModels behind cover may be assaulted in Close Combat, however the assaulting model must successfully

cross the cover without injury in order to move into contact with the target, and suffers a -1 penalty to

combat rolls.

Shooting into Close CombatA ranged attack may be made at a model engaged in Close Comabt, however if the targeting rolls fails

then the friendly model is hit instead. If the models engaged in an assault are caught inside the fire of an

area effect weapon such as a fragmentation or incendiary weapon then they are automatically hit.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 29/77

Spectre: Operations

Multiple Close CombatsIf a model is charged by more than one enemy, then it must fight all of them in succession. There is an

additional -1 modifier to the defender for every opponent.

Example: A model is charged by three enemy models, the attacking player then makes three combatrolls and the defending player makes one at a -3 modifier. Which ever of the combat rolls scores highest

wins the fight.

Silent TakedownIn some situations it may be necessary to eliminate a target quietly and discreetly at close quarters. If you

initiated a close assault using tactical movement you can attempt a Silent Takedown instead of a normal

close assault. To do this, you must make an agility test. If the test is successful you will automatically win

the combat and may choose to kill or capture as normal. If your model fails the Agility Test, a normal

round of combat must be resolved.

Kill or CaptureOnce a victor in a close assault has been decided, the winning player must decide whether to kill or take

prisoner any models that have been defeated in the assault. If kill is chosen, then the models are removed

as fatalities. If capture is chosen, then the losing model becomes a captive and must move in contact with

the captor.

Spectre: Operations 31

Armoury

In Spectre: Operations, for simplicity and swiftness, the game does not differentiate between weapon

designs that are built to perform similar functions. Instead, they are divided into classes which group them

by the intended tactical purpose on the real battlefield. For example, all assault rifles are broadly similar infunction and effect, regardless of calibre and so they are grouped into their own class. The end result of

a model being shot is killed, wounded or a lucky escape and care has been taken to consider realism.

Listed below are universal rules shared by many weapons which are a good starting point when you are

getting familiar with the rules. Some weapons have additional rules which will be detailed in their section.

These may be repeated in each section for convenience.

Rapid Fire

Rapid Fire weapons may be fired normally once per turn with no penalty. They may be fired twice per

turn at one target, but the shooting model suffers a penalty of -1 to their targeting rolls with both shots.

Compact

Compact weapons are ideal for close quarter combat as they are small framed, but deliver a lot of

firepower. Compact weapons ignore the -1 modifier described in the rapid fire and automatic rules when

in their first range interval. The -1 modifier applies as normal beyond the first range interval.

Automatic

Automatic weapons may fire up to three shots but suffer -1 to hit for all shots.

Encumbering

A model with an Encumbering weapon may not move in the movement phase and shoot in the Shooting

phase – it must remain stationary in order to deploy and shoot the weapon. In addition, a model carrying

an Encumbering weapon suffers a -1 modifier to its agility characteristic.

Fragmentation (Frag)

Explosive fragmentation weapons are different from normal shooting in that they use a blast radius of a

size determined in their weapon profile. This is a radius such as 2” or 3” measured from a central point

over the main target of the ranged attack.

The shooter nominates a target model, and rolls to hit as normal. If he hits, measure the blast radius

using the target as the centre. Any models within the blast radius are automatically hit and are subject to

lethality rolls along with the main target.

If the ranged attack misses, the attack will land D6” in a direction determined by the roll of a drift dice,

measured from the point you intended to hit. Any model or soft skin vehicle that is hit by a fragmentation

weapon is subject to 2 points of suppression instead of the normal 1.

Additional Ranged Weapons Special Rules

Scoped

If a model carrying a weapon with a scope does not move in the Movement phase, the scope confers a

+1 modifier to a model’s targeting rolls. If a scoped weapon successfully penetrates a vehicles armour youmay resolve your hit against a crew member of your choice instead of rolling on the armour penetration

chart.

Armour Piercing

Vehicles don’t roll a dice for defence and must use their base durability when resolving ranged attacks,

in addition +1 to the armour penetration roll. They will also ignore modifiers for body armour when used

against infantry.

Crew Served

A crew served weapon’s operator requires an assistant to load the weapon or spot for the shooter

in order to maximise shooting efficiency. When an assistant is in base contact with the operator, the

operator may re-roll any failed targeting rolls. The assisting crewman may not shoot in the same turn if

the operating model is to fire the weapon. Both may defend themselves in close combat as normal. The

assistant may leave the crew in the movement phase; however the re-roll bonus is lost until he moves

back into base contact.

Unstable

Some weapons are unstable due to their age, modifications or homemade nature. Any roll to hit of 1 will

render the weapon unusable for the rest of the game. If the weapon also has the frag or incendiary rule itwill explode placing the frag template on the weapon and resolving the hit as normal.

Car Stopper

All hits within the first range interval will cause double suppression to light skinned vehicles.

Spectre: Operations 37

Buckshot is the standard ammunition for shotguns. Combat and Automatic shotguns may choose to fire

alternative ammunition listed below, declare if you intend to do so before rolling to hit. All shots fired

must be of a single type.

BuckshotA model using a weapon with buckshot ammunition may re-roll any failed targeting roll in the weapon’s

first range interval. Lethality is also dependent on range interval, starting at 3+ in the first range interval

and increasing by 1 in each subsequent interval to a maximum of 6+.

Slug: Car Stopper (All hits within the first range interval will cause double suppression to soft skinned

vehicles), cannot reroll misses.

Flechette: Ignore +1 cover modifiers and body armour in the first and second range intervals.

Spectre: Operations 39

Grenade Launchers may fire either standard frag or smoke rounds as detailed below. Declare which you

intend to fire before making the targeting roll. If the Grenade Launcher can fire multiple shots you may

fire a mix of Frag and Smoke in the same shooting phase.

Smoke: place a x 2” smoke marker on the target.

Multi Blast

Multi blast grenade launchers may fire up to 3 rounds per shot. Nominate the target and roll to hit as

normal. If the shot misses, roll Drift Dice and a D6. The shot then misses the nominated location by D6”

in the direction indicated by the Drift Dice. Where the grenade lands, hit or miss, lay a frag template on

the spot. For each subsequent grenade fired, roll a Drift Dice and place the next grenade frag template

centred 3” in the direction indicated, from the centre of the last grenade explosion. This will create a

daisy chain of grenade explosions on the game board.

AirburstWeapons with the airburst rule ignore all cover.

Thermobaric

Thermobaric or fuel-air weapons as they are otherwise known are devastating, especially in confined

areas, as such they ignore all cover and body armour modifiers.

When shot into an occupied building the weapon will become lethality 2+. The building will also collapse

and be destroyed on the roll of a 3+.

In addition, a weapon with both the thermobaric and compact special rules will confer +3 instead of the

usual +1 for compact weapon when resolving storming a building.

Flamethrower

Class Rg’ Interval Lethality Special Rules

Flame thrower 9” 3+ Flamethrower, Encumbering

Flamethrowers do not make ranged attacks as in the same way as other ranged weapons. Instead, place

a template or mark out an area as long as the maximum range of the weapon and 1/2 inch wide. Every

model that is even partially covered or touched by the template will be hit, which is resolved by rolling

for lethality. Any model that does not become a fatality does not become a casualty but is considered

to be able to make a lucky escape. Flamethrowers ignore cover and body armour and cause 2 points of

suppression.

Flamethrowers making a range attack into a building will gain +1 lethality, hitting all occupants and will

set the building on fire on 4+, turning it into impassable terrain.

A model equipped with a flamethrower that is hit by a ranged attack will explode on a roll of 6+

When testing for lethality. Place a 2” incendiary marker over the model and resolve any hits on models

covered by the marker using the flamethrowers lethality.

Incendiary

Incendiary weapons act the same way as fragmentation munitions in terms of effect radius, and are

either thrown or fired in line with the rules. Ranged attacks from incendiary weapons will cause doublesuppression against infantry and vehicles.

Successful ranged attacks made against open topped vehicles will hit all crew members and any

passengers in addition to any other result of the ranged attack. Additionally, the area of the blast burns

fiercely until the player’s next shooting phase. Place a counter in the centre of the burning area, any

troops moving through the radius around it defined in the weapon’s profile must move according to the

flames section of the movement chapter.

White Phosphorus grenade 6” 6+ Thrown, Incendiary, Smoke 1x3”

Smoke Grenade 6” - Thrown, Smoke 6x2”

Stun Grenade 6” - Thrown, Stun

Thrown Weapons

Thrown weapons can be used instead of a model’s main weapon in the shooting phase.

The model rolls to hit as normal, however unlike other ranged weapons they can only be thrown a

maximum of 12”. Also, even if the shot misses there is still a chance it will catch other models in it’s

blast. If the targeting roll is failed, roll the drift dice. The thrown weapon will land D6” in that direction,

measured from the intended target.

Thrown weapons may also be used to target models that you don’t have a direct line of sight to. Resolvethe targeting roll as normal, the target will always count as being in +2 cover, plus any benefits for body

armour. If the targeting roll is successful the thrown weapon will scatter as detailed above. If it fails there

is no effect and the attack is unsuccessful.

Stun

Stunning weapons create bright flashes and loud explosions that blind, deafen and disorientate targets

for a short time within a certain radius. Stun grenades reduce all the statistics of an enemy to 1 for the

remainder of the turn. This effects every model in the radius. If thrown into a building it effects every

model in that room.

Smoke

Smoke obscures line of sight and can create temporary cover. A smoke producing weapon produces

an area of smoke defined in the weapon’s profile. This defined area (e.g. 6x2”) confers a -2 modifier to

targeting rolls when shots are taken at targets on the other side of the smoke screen. The area of the

smoke effect is assumed to have no height limit and therefore it can not be shot over or from above. Thesmoke remains on the table for D3 turns (1,2 =1 3,4=2 5,6=3).

When smoke is deployed, the smoke must be placed in a line following the direction of the wind. The

method for determining wind direction is explained in the scenario special rules section.

Static

Static weapons are mounted on tripods or specially designed platforms. For the purposes of the game

may never move and require a model in contact with them to make ranged attacks. The model in contact

with the weapon may not perform any other action in a turn that the weapon makes a ranged attack.

Drive or FireRanged weapons with this rule may not fire if mounted on a vehicle with the Soft Skin rule which moved

that turn.

Rotary Cannon

Rotary cannons roll 6 dice to resolve their ranged attacks, but otherwise follow the rules ofr automatic

weapons. Hits from a rotary cannon cause double suppression.

Dual weapons can re-roll one failed targeting roll once per ranged attack

Quad

Quad weapons can re-roll any failed targeting rolls once per ranged attack

Spectre: Operations 47

Gear

On the battlefield, gear and equipment can bestow huge tactical advantages - from vastly improving

command efficiency, to improving personal protection and concealment abilities.

Radio Comms

Any models equipped with radio comms may use the commander’s CD characteristic to make tests with.

In addition, any models not equipped with radio comms but within 6” of a model that is still benefit from

the higher CD characteristic as normal.

Close Combat Weapon

Dedicated close combat weapons can take many forms, from axes to bayonets and other more specialist

items. Any model equipped with a close combat weapon gains +1 to Close Combat resolution.

Body ArmourPersonal armour confers a +1 modifier to the defence characteristic, but also carries -1 modifier to the

agility characteristic.

Vision Enhancing Optics

Head, helmet worn or weapon mounted thermal imaging and night vision optical systems negate

modifiers conferred by night time conditions or smoke when making targeting rolls through it. Any other

targeting modifiers not conferred by the smoke still apply.

Ghillie SuitThe model always benefits from a +1 defence modifier when the model is in cover. In addition, the model

may not be targeted directly by ranged attacks in a turn that the model did not move or shoot in it’s turn

phases.

Target Designator

An infrared beam or laser emitted from a rifle mounted or hand held target designator can be picked

up by aircraft tracking systems and IR/NVG optics, which aids the process of target identification and

acquisition or provides targeting to precision guided munitions. This allows delivery of massive firepower

on targets faster and more accurately.

Any command assets that use a ranged attack may be guided by a model with a target designator.

The designating model forgoes normal shooting to attempt to mark a target. In order to successfully

designate a target, the shooter makes a normal targeting roll against the target model or area of the

battlefield using the range interval of the weapon that the designator is mounted on. If the roll is

successful place a marker on the target model or area of the battlefield. If you fail there is no effect.

All rolls to target made against the marked model in that shooting phase made by air assets or other

models with vision enhancing optics may reroll misses once.

Spectre: Operations 48

Suppressor

Ranged attacks made by a model equipped with a suppressor will suffer a -2” penalty to their range

intervals, but they will not be heard by enemy models during a game using the night fighting rules or

other scenario specific rules, unless the ranged attack is made within half the range of its first interval

away from any enemy fighter. A silenced weapon can never score more than a 5 on the armourpenetration roll against a vehicle.

Battlefield Trauma Kit

A model equipped with a battlefield trauma kit may attempt to stop a model from bleeding out. When

the equipped model moves into contact with the casualty, it may attempt to treat the casualty instead

of shooting in the shooting phase. The player rolls a dice, and on a score of 4+ the model is successfully

treated and the bleed out is permanently halted. Other models in contact with the casualty equipped with

a battlefield trauma kit and not making a ranged attack may aid the attempt by giving a +1 modifier to

the dice roll (a roll of 1 is always a fail). If the roll fails then the attending model may attempt to treat the

casualty again in the next turn.

Stimulants Pack

A model equipped with stimulants cannot heal a casualty, however it can provide the casualty with a

massive dose of narcotic stimulants and painkillers. When the equipped model moves into contact with

the casualty, it may attempt to treat the casualty instead of shooting in the shooting phase. The player

rolls a dice, and on a score of 4+ the model is successfully treated and the model may now return to

the battle with no penalty modifiers - however the bleedout continues on and when it reaches zero the

model instantly becomes a fatality.

Dogs

Dogs must remain in base contact with the designated handler at all times, unless it is moving away to

investigate or attack. If the handler becomes a fatality, the dog is removed along with the model.

Attack Dog

Attack: The dog may be used to attack and restrain an enemy model. This may be used to stop a target

model who is fleeing, or to prevent an enemy model engaging any friendly models. The handler may

command the dog to attack any target within 9” in the movement phase. The dog is then moved into

base contact with the target, and engages it in a close combat. The dog has a combat characteristic of 5

and a defence of 2. If the dog wins the fight, it may kill or capture as normal, however it may not movewith the captive - the handler must take possession of the captive in order to move it.

A dog with a captive may be recalled in any subsequent turn if desired however the enemy model returns

to combat as normal unless another friendly model has captured it.

Attack dogs in a militia force cannot capture an enemy model and must always choose to kill the target.

Spectre: Operations 49

Hyena

Some African gangs have semi-trained Hyenas as status symbols, for intimidation and to act as guard

animals. Hyenas act in the same way as attack dogs, but a command roll must be made every time

you wish it to make a close assault move. If the test is failed it will attack the handler. The Hyena has a

combat characteristic of 6 and defence of 3.

Search Dog

Detection: A dog may perform a search action in the handler’s movement phase. Any objectives or other

objects that are concealed via Spoofs (detailed in certain scenarios) may be revealed by the dog. If a visible

objective counter or human target (such as a cache or concealed weapon carrier) is within 6” of the dog,

it may move to investigate the site. To determine the outcome of the investigation, roll a dice. On a roll

of 3+ the dog successfully detects a target or indicates a clear area. The opposing player must then reveal

whether the counter is a spoof or is genuine. If the counter was revealed to be a spoof it is removed from

play and the dog returns to the handler. If it is genuine then in the case of a counter the opponent must

declare it. In the case of a human target, the dog may attempt to attack or restrain the target as detailed

below.

Dual Role Dog

Dual role dogs are specially trained to seek out a variety of hidden threats and objectives, as well as

providing a pursuit and attack capability.

They may act as either attack or sniffer dogs in each phase.

Breaching chargeA model may use a breaching charge as a tactical action. The charge will add a +2 modifier to the

roll needed to breach a target. A successful breach will also have the effects of a stun grenade on the

occupier/ occupiers.

Ballistic shield

A model equipped with a ballistic shield may only move the distance of the agility statistic and may only

make ranged attacks using a side arm if he has one. However, the model and any other model or models

directly behind the lead model with the shield and in base contact with each other gains a +1 cover save

from the shield. During a storming action each party will gain an additional +1 to their storming action

result for every model with a ballistic shield.

Rappelling kit

Descent: A model with a rappelling kit may use them to either make a tactical move directly down a

vertical surface or to quick rope up to double their agility directly down a surface. To do this you must

start your move in contact with the edge you wish to move down and use a tactical activity to set the

rope up. A breach may be made if rappelling down the rope would bring you into contact with a window

that can be entered as described in the movement section.

Page 50: Spectre Rules v1.0

7/18/2019 Spectre Rules v1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/spectre-rules-v10 50/77

Spectre: Operations

Ascent: The Rappelling kit may also be used to move up a surface. Throwing the hook is resolved as a

tactical ability and the model must be in contact with the surface it intends to ascend. The hook has a

range equal to the models agility statistic and an agility test must be made to successfully set the rope in

place. The rope can then be used to move up the surface at a rate equal to his agility statistic.

In both cases the ropes stay in place until the remainder of the game unless you choose to remove them

after use. Set up ropes can be used by any model to move up or down.

Climbing kit

May move directly up or down impassable surfaces (such as cliff faces) at the models agility.

Tactical diving kit

May move through deep water at the models agility.

Tactical ladderLadders can be deployed against an object up to 1 ½ inches in height to allow models to cross the

obstacle unhindered. A ladder may be deployed in any circumstance in which you would usually require

pass an agility test to cross an object. The ladder may be left in place for other models to climb.

After the model that deployed the ladder climbs it he may choose to remove the ladder and may use it in

subsequent turns as usual.

Torch/Flashlight

Used during night fighting, a model equipped with a torch may use it to double his detection ranges,although when in use the model will be +1 easier to hit for that turn.

Vehicles

Movement

Vehicles may move their full movement over open ground and may only move through areas that the

physical model can fit in. Over difficult ground light vehicles may only move half their normal rate.

Light vehicles may only move in a straight line from the front of the vehicle unless noted otherwise in

special rules.

Turning: A light vehicle may turn up to 45 degrees for every 2” it moves (backwards or forwards).

Running over models

If contact is made with an enemy or friendly model, the model will have to pass an agility test to quickly

move out of the way. If the test is passed, move the model to either side of the vehicle up to 1” away. If

the test is failed the model will suffer a single hit depending on the distance the vehicle travelled before

contact was made. Up to 6” 5+ lethality. Over 6” 3+ lethality.

Command actions and vehicles

The only command action available to vehicles is Overwatch. Place the overwatch marker on the facing

that you wish to fire from.

Durability: Vehicles can take as many suppression markers as their durability stat. Any additional markers

will result in an automatic penetrating hit. Suppression markers are never removed from a vehicle for the

entirety of the game

Transport: Vehicles may transport as many models as their transport stat. To board a vehicle a model

must move into contact with a stationary vehicle. The vehicle may not move in a turn that models have

boarded it. Models may dismount at the end of the vehicles movement and act as normal afterwards. The

vehicle may not move after vehicles have dismounted but may fire as normal.

Ranged attacks from a vehicle may be made by any passengers if it has the open topped special rule

detailed later.

Shooting from VehiclesMost vehicles have one or more ranged weapons mounted on them. These can be operated by any crew

member. Weapons mounted on truck beds, such as those on the ubiquitous technical can be fired 360

degrees. Other weapons that may be mounted to be fired from a passenger position can fire 180 degrees

from the point they are mounted. A little common sense in regards to how the model is designed and

how the weapon is mounted may be needed when working out the arc of fire for these weapons.

Most weapons, such as light or heavy machine guns can be fired from a vehicle even if it moves. Ranged

attacks made from a vehicle moving a total distance of up to 6” suffer -1 to targeting rolls and those

Spectre: Operations 53

made from a vehicle moving a total distance of over 6” at -2.

Weapons such as auto cannons and rocket pods can only be fired from a stationary vehicle. These

weapons will have the Drive or Fire rule.

Passengers or transported models can make ranged attacks with weapons that do not have the

‘encumbering’ rule following the same rules for firing when moving described above.

Shooting at vehicles

Ranged attacks against vehicles are performed in the same way as those against infantry, but instead the

durability stat is used instead of defence. Any successful roll to penetrate armour will hit a vital part of the

vehicle. Unsuccessful and successful targeting rolls will add a suppression marker.

For every 6” a vehicle moves it gains a -1 to be hit.

Suppression and Vehicles

Suppression on vehicles represents the crew panicking when under fire or rounds hitting vehicle systems,

but not disabling them. Suppression will confer a -2 modifier to a vehicles movement and -1 to ranged

attacks made by the vehicle. Suppression is not removed from a vehicle, this represents damage to vital

components which requires repair outside of the game.

Whenever a vehicle with full suppression moves it must roll a dice when the movement is finished. On a

roll of 4+ it breaks down and is immobilised for the rest of the game.

Vehicle special rules

Soft Skin

Soft skin vehicles are usually civilian vehicles and are vulnerable to all small arms. As such will suffer

suppression from all ranged attacks made against them.

Armoured

Small arms are ineffective against specially armoured vehicles, but machine guns and sniper rifles can be

used to target weak points such as optics. Only weapons with the Armour Piercing rule, Tank Killer andranged weapons in the Machine Gun and Sniper Rifle category may make ranged attacks vehicles with

the Armoured special rule. Frag and incendiary weapons have no additional suppression bonuses against

armoured vehicles.

Open Topped

Open Topped vehicles suffer double suppression from weapons with the Frag and Incendiary rules. Is a

weapon has both they will suffer quadruple suppression.

3-5 Crew hit 1 hit is resolved on a crew member of your choice as per the normal lethality

rules for the weapon that made the hit. No bonuses for cover are counted for

being inside a vehicle.

6 Disabled A vital part of the vehicle is hit and immobilises it. The vehicle cannot move

for the rest of the game although if mounted with a gun it can still be fired.

7+ Destroyed The vehicle is completely destroyed and sets on fire for the remainder of the

game. All crew are killed

If the driver of a vehicle is killed the vehicle may no longer move and if the gunner is killed it may no

longer make ranged attacks. Usually a model may take the driver or gunners place (including enemy

models!) as per the boarding rules in the transport section.

If the driver is killed and the vehicle moved in the same game turn it will move a further 4” at the end of

the shooting phase. This move will be made in a direction determined by the roll of a dice. 1-2 45 degreesto the left, 3-4 straight ahead, 5-6 45 degrees to the right.

Force Selection

The group of models that constitute your fighting force on the tabletop is dependent on three lists

for force selection; Militia, Professional & Elite. These list will help you build your force and tailor their

capabilities to give them the best advantage in any given scenario. It is important to note that you maybuild your force by combining models from all three force selection lists. For example you may wish to

field a militia force supported by a special forces contingent chosen from the elite list. Use this to add new

and exciting dynamics to the way your force performs, and it also helps create a sense of narrative.

Note: There are some restrictions & requirements placed on the numbers of certain models you can field,

and the number of upgrades you can bestow upon your force. We have included these to ensure that

games are as balanced as possible. However, as long as you and your opponent agree you can disregard

these guidelines and field models in a specific way or just play a free for all.

Asset PointsGames are balanced by the mechanic of asset points - this is a measure of how powerful a model is

relative to other models in the game. For example, a Militia Fighter has a lower points cost than an

Elite Commander because he is a less valuable asset on the battlefield. You can either agree with your

opponent to field forces of a set points value e.g. 500 pts, or you can use any scenario guidelines to

define the size of any forces on the board.

Main Weapon OptionsThe main weapons listed under this section in the model profile represent the primary and secondary

weapons which can be equipped to the model for an additional points cost. Some models have morechoice in main weapons than others. It is your choice what you want to equip, some scenarios may

favour a certain type of primary weapon - choose carefully to suit the mission conditions.

Spectre: Operations 59

Sidearm OptionsThe sidearm option represents the model carrying a pistol sidearm. Sidearms can be useful when the

model becomes a casualty, or when it is attending another casualty.

Specialist Weapon OptionsSome models have specialist weaponry available to them. You may choose one upgrade from this list per

model when available and only half of the models in a force selected from any list may be equipped this

way (rounding down). For example, if your force consisted of 4 Elite Operators and 20 Militia Fighters, 2

of the Elite Operators and 10 of the Militia Fighters would be able to select specialist weapons.

Gear OptionsThe gear listed in this section can be added to your model for additional points cost. Gear can improve

the models performance, but making the model more survivable or granting special abilities that benefit

the model in combat. Not all models have access to specialised gear upgrades.

Thrown Weapon OptionsModels may carry thrown weapons for an extra points cost in addition to any other equipment they are

carrying, such as various types of grenades and improvised thrown explosives.

Militia Force Selection

Militia forces are not as coherent or structured as regular and special forces. They are generally organised

into loose bands of skirmishers, often under the tenuous command of an individual of rank or experience.

Some among them may have procured heavier weapons, though as with other militia fighters theirtraining is poor to non existent.

Big Man [1+]: 5 ptsThough not as influential as a warlord, Big Men are usually the most fearless, brutal and bold fighters

they fill a comparable role to the NCO’s of regular armies.

Command and Warlord Assets

Military leaders have control over more battlefield assets than regular infantrymen. They can coordinate

supporting actions from other military units, exercise their influence through the chain of command and

direct and execute tactical plans. This brings much additional capability to an infantry force, and no battlecan be effectively won without the oversight of a commander.

Command Assets

The majority of battlefield assets at the disposal of the commanders of organised armies focus on

intelligence, extreme firepower and combat survival. Many of them allow a commander to call in a

devastating amount of fire to suppress or obliterate an enemy position. Others provide better tactical

information that improve the combat effectiveness of the infantry force, and in an emergency they allow

a commander to get his men out of trouble quickly. These are extremely potent advantages to have

available, and can turn the tide of a battle in an instant.
