PLAYING THE GAME: The game works in turns: PRIORITY PHASE PLAYER ONE COMMAND PLAYER TWO COMMAND PLAYER ONE MOVEMENT PLAYER TWO MOVEMENT PLAYER ONE SHOOTING PLAYER TWO SHOOTING

(when using cards shuffle before each draw)

PLAYER ONE ASSAULT PLAYER TWO ASSAULT PRIORITY: During the priority phase both players draw a card to see who is player one and player to that turn.The person with the highest may decide who is who. COMMAND PHASE: For every model with the “Commanding” Special rule take a card from your deck and don't let the opponent see it.you may play the card in any phase. A card of Hearts allows you to heal wounds on any of your models equal to the value of the card ( J=11 Q=12 K=13 A=1) A card of Spades allows you to take the amount of wounds off of an enemy model equal to the value of the card. A card of Clubs Allows an extra 6” movement on your models. A card of Diamonds makes you pick up two more cards from the deck. A joker outright kills an enemy model. MOVEMENT: To move select the model you want to move look at its movement stat and move in any direction.the model must go around any terrain and must finish the move on one side of a wall in it.Use common sense.Apply any modifiers. To Run you draw a card from your deck and add that value in inches to the movement of your model. IF YOU RUN YOU CANNOT SHOOT. During your movement phase you must move into base contact with an enemy model if you want to assault them.You may move out of an assault on a 8+ draw.If you fail you are stuck in combat at - 2 wounds.

SHOOTING: Select the model you want to shoot with and select the target you want to shoot at maximum range is 25” if any cover is in the way and blocks line of sight you may not shoot at the enemy model if it partially blocks line of sight add -1 to their armour save.Draw as many cards as there are attack and apply modifiers if over the army's shooting skill it is a success and causes a wound for every successful card then take armour saves where necessary for each affected wound. SHOOTING SKILL The Wanderers 7+ The Settlers = 5+ The Raiders=9+ The Brazen Brotherhood =7+ The New Government =7+ Teslites = 6+ The Old Order= 10+

ASSAULT: when in assault both player draw a card ( or more if any modifiers are taken) the person with the highest score wins the assault and causes the difference in numbers in wounds ,of course the score must be higher or equal to the assault skill to cause a wound otherwise it is just parried away.if you have more than one card then you still battle the draw against the card drawn by the opponent. Take all necessary armour saves.
