The Battle Round

Battles are fought in a series of rounds referred to as battle rounds, each of which is split into four phases: the initiative phase, the reserve phase, the combat phase and the morale phase.

The initiative phase​

The players roll for initiative and gather ability dice.

The reserve phase​

Starting in the second battle round, search parties in reserve are set up on the battlefield

The combat phase​

The warbands clash as the players take turns activating their fighters.

The morale phase​

The players check the warband morale, before starting a new battle round.

Winning the battle​

Unless the scenario states otherwise, battles last for at least four battle rounds. At the end of the fourth battle round, roll a dice:

  • On a 1-2: the battle ends.
  • On a 3+: the battle continues for a fifth battle round.

When the battle ends, you must check the victory condition of the scenario. If one warband has fulfilled the victory condition, it has won the battle. If not, the battle is a draw.

The aftermath sequence​

When a battle ends, both players should resolve an aftermath sequence.
