Warmonger Rules: 3rd Edition

e Rules

e Basics - Summary of play and Model Stats

Section 1: e Basics Introduction In Warmonger players lead Teams, in skirmish attacks against their opponents. Players build a Team and pit it against other players’ Teams. Teams consist of Leaders and their followers. Players use a normal deck of cards to resolve game events such as attacking and casting spells. Players can manipulate these cards to alter a duel's outcome. It takes a shrewd leader to manage a team’s resources, ensuring that he or she always has ready the cards needed to influence the destiny of the team.

Summary of play Before a game of Warmonger begins, players generate Goals and hire Teams. Players then deploy their Team and the conflict begins. A game consists of several game turns. During a turn, players draw their hand of cards, which are used to change the outcome of game events such as attacks, spell casting and so forth. Next, players determine who has the initiative, then alternate moveing, attacking, casting spells with each model. A turn ends after all models in play have had the opportunity to act. Game turns continue in this fashion until the turn limit is reached. Players then total the experience points earned by eliminating their enemies and achieving goals. ese points may then be spent on enhancing models in their team.

Model Stats Each model is defined by a set of stats, namely: Move, Weapon Skill, Ranged Skill, Defence, Magic and Health. Each stat is assigned a value. e stats are: Move (MV). A model’s move shows the number of inches it can move in a turn under normal circumstances. e usual number is 3 as almost all Models move 3" per turn, although they can move faster when they are charging, as you’ll see later. e move statistic cannot be reduced lower than 1 unless an eﬀect specifically states so. Weapon Skill (WS). Weapon Skill is a measure of close combat ability – how good the person is at hand-to-hand fighting. Models use this stat when fighting hand-to-hand. Ranged Skill (RS). Ranged Skill shows how good a shot the individual is. Models use this stat when shooting at a target. Defence (DF). A model's ability to avoid being hit with an attack. Magic (MG). e model's ability to control the forces of magic. Models use this stat when casting Spells. Health (HT). A model’s Health value shows how many times a model can be wounded before he collapses and goes down dead or incapacitated.

Model Details

Weapon Stats A model's weapons have their own stats, representing each Weapon's capabilities in the hands of a model.

Cost. Generally this number represents the cost needed to hire the model.

Damage. Indicates the weapon's damageinflicting potential. Depending on the quality of a hit, a Weapon can inflict light, moderate or heavy damage.

Class. Models in Warmonger are grouped into following classes: Leaders, Warlocks, Champions, Minions and Rookies. Level. How skilled the model is. Standard Abilities. Most Abilities are considered active during the game unless otherwise indicated (as a Triggered Ability) and are applied whenever called for in the rules. is includes Abilities that grant the model additional or specific Action Points (AP’s), such as +1 AP Spells. Triggered Abilities. Listed with Abilities, Triggered Abilities have a stat symbol or abreviation and a suit symbol with their name and may be activated when the model meets these conditions. is means that when flipping a card for the noted stat, if the card is of the suit matching the suit symbol, the player may choose to use the ability. Disadvantages. ese are much the same as Abilities, except that they normally provide a negative eﬀect for the model. Disadvantages are often picked up by characters injured badly in battle. Spells. Certain models may possess one or more Spells. Spells have a numerical and suit requirement after that indicates the target number and suit required by the caster to successfully cast the Spell.

e Cards e Deck Each player uses a deck of cards, to determine the success of attacks and other Actions as well as any random events in the game. Everything from determining initiative to resolving attacks, damage, and spellcasting is determined by the cards in a player's deck. Each player needs their own deck during the game. Players only use cards from their own deck, never from another player's deck. Warmonger is played with a standard set of cards composed of 54 cards in 4 suits and 2 jokers. Aces have a value of 1, and the face cards - Jacks, Queens, and Kings have the values of 11, 12 and 13 respectively.

Card Values and Suits Each card has a value and suit. When the rules refer to a card's value, they are referring to number printed on the card. Magic is divided into four sources, or suits: Hearts ( ♥ ), Spades ( ♠ ), Clubs ( ♣ ) and Diamonds ( ♦ ).

e Basics - Model Details, Weapon Stats and e Cards

As well as these stats, models have other details used in the game, namely: Cost, Class, Abilities, Disadvantages, and Spells.

Jokers

e Basics - Jokers, e Hand, Using Cards, e Dicard Pile and Running Out Of Cards

e Jokers represent destiny and magic at its lowest ebb. A Joker has a value of 0 and no suit when it is revealed. A Joker must be used by a player when it is revealed. Additionally, the revealing player may not change destiny further. When making a damage flip with a Joker, the hit inflicts no damage. Any healing or damage prevention flips with a Joker heal and prevent no damage.

e Hand e Hand represents how eﬀective a Team is at controlling the ebb and flow of destiny. Cards in a player's hand are drawn into the hand from the deck. ese cards can help Teams Change Destiny and change the outcome of a Duel.

Using Cards Since the cards in Warmonger can affect the game in different ways, the rules make a distinction between Drawing, Flipping/ re-flipping, Changing Destiny and Discarding them. A card is considered to be in play from the time it is flipped from the deck or played from the hand, until it is moved to the discard pile. Drawing. A player takes the top card from his or her deck and places it in his or her hand. Flipping/re-flipping. A player flips a card by turning over the top card from his or her Deck. A flipped card's value and suit are applied immediately. Re-flipping simply

means to discard the current card in play and replace it with a new one. e number of cards a player flips may be increased due to destiny modifiers applied to the flip. ese modifiers are flipped along with the initially flipped card. Changing Destiny. Playing a card from a hand to replace the card in play is called Changing Destiny. All models can Change Destiny but only when the rules allow them to do so. e played card becomes the new card, and is placed on top of the previous card until the event is resolved. Discarding. Discarding a card moves it from a player's Hand or from play to his or her discard pile, face up, without applying its value or suit.

e Discard Pile Player discard piles should be face up with only the last discarded or played card showing. Players may not look through any discard piles' neither their own nor another player's, and cannot change the order of the cards in a discard pile.

Running Out Of Cards When a player needs to draw or flip a card and his or her deck is empty, the player picks up his or her discard pile, re-shuffles it, and places it face down. is starts a new deck. Cards currently in play, or that reside in a hand, may not be shuffled into the new deck. Players should always give their opponents an opportunity to cut the deck after shuffling.

Changing e Odds

Some models possess one or more Triggers which can be used during duels. A trigger consists of the stat it's connected to, as well as the suit(s) a model needs in its Duel total for use. When the model is using the stat indicated in a duel and and flips the suit needed, it can declare it is using the Trigger. A model can only use one Trigger per duel.

e Game e Turn

0 : flip the one card as normal.

A Warmonger game consist of a number of turns in which players alternate activating models until both sides have activated their entire Team.

+ X : flip X (one, two or three) additional cards and choose one card to use.

Each turn is broken down into 3 phases Draw, Activation and Discard.

- X : flip X (one, two or three) additional cards. You must use the card with the lowest value. Players may not Change Destiny on a negatively modified flip.

Draw. Players draw cards from the top of their decks until they reach their maximum hand size (normally 4).

After totalling up Destiny modifiers:

Duels Duels are used to resolve events during the game. ere are two types of duels: tests and opposed. A test is a duel against a target number; an opposed duel is a duel against another model's total. During a duel, each model involved has an opportunity to aﬀect the duels outcome by changing destiny.

Activation. At the start of the activation phase, each player flips a single card to determine the initiative order. Any tied flips are re-flipped. Beginning with the first player, each player, from highest to lowest initiative value, activates one model and uses all of its action points for the turn. is player order for activating models is called the turn's activation order. Players continue activating models until all of their models have activated once during the turn. Discard. Players may discard any number of cards in their hand.

1 e Basics - Changing e Odds, Duels, Triggers and e Turn

Normally, players flip one card when a card flip is required. Destiny modifiers increase the number of cards flipped when resolving a game event and are indicated by the words Destiny Modifier and either a positive or negative value next to it. When a model is aﬀected by one or more destiny modifiers, total up the modifier values to find out how may more cards to flip and the overall positive or negative eﬀect. e total number of additional cards flipped after all modifiers have been taken into account may never be more than three.

Triggers

Actions

e Basics - Ations and Making An Attack

Ranged Attack - Cost: 1 AP e model (attacker) targets another model (defender) that it is in range of its weapon and performs an opposed duel using its Ranged Skill (RS) value against the defender's Defence (DF) value. Note: Models engaged in close combat may not make a Shoot action.

Each model receives two action points (AP’s) at the start of its activation. Some Abilities and Disadvantages may increase or decrease the number of action points a model receives. Unless stated otherwise a model may take the same action any number of times as long as it has action points to spend. Some Abilities and Spells require actions points to use, these are detailed in the Ability's description.

Focus - Cost: 2 AP e model performs an Attack or Ranged Attack action with a +1 destiny modifier.

Movement actions

Other actions

Walk - Cost: 1 AP is model moves up to its Move stat in inches. Note: Models moving within 1” of an enemy model that is not engaged in combat, may not move past the enemy model.

Change Weapon - Cost: 1 AP Changes the weapon that a model is using.

Charge - Cost: 2 AP is model may take the Charge action if it is not already engaged in combat and has a target enemy model in its line of sight. e charging model must move up to twice its Move stat (Move x 2) towards the target. At the end of the charge move, if the charging model in contact with the target it makes an attack and receives +1 destiny modifier for the flip. If a model will not end the move in contact with the target, it must move its full distance and the charge action ends.

Combat actions Attack - Cost: 1 AP e model (attacker) targets another model (defender) that it is in contact with and performs an opposed duel using its Weapon Skill (WS) value against the defender's Defence (DF) value.

Making An Attack ere are a number of steps to follow when making an attack: Declare the target e target must be in the attacker's line of sight. If the attack is a ranged attack ensure that the target is within range by measuring the distance between the models. If the model is out of range, the attack has failed. If the model is within range proceed to the next step. Shooting into hand-to-hand combat Should you wish to shoot at a model already engaged in hand-to-hand combat, you must first make an additional flip and add the model’s RS. is is a test against the target number of 10. If the result is equal to or greater than 10, you hit the intended target. If failed, you must continue the attack against the model in combat with the original target. If the new target is a friendly model, you must make the flips for both models, but may only change destiny to increase a cards value and never to lower it.

Duel Perform a duel as indicated by the type of attack (WS vs. DF / RS vs. DF).

Starting duel total = Flipped card value (with modifiers taken into account) + stat value Compare the model's starting totals. e model with the highest total is winning the duel. If the totals are tied, the attacker is winning the duel. Changing destiny Starting with the losing model, each model may change destiny, but may do so only once. A player choosing to change destiny may replace the flipped card with a card from their hand. Place the new card on top of the flipped card. A model cannot change destiny if it had a negative modifier or if its current card is a joker. Determine the final duel total = Flipped card (original (with modifiers taken into account) or replacement ). + stat value. Declare Triggered Abilities Starting with the model with the lower total, or the defender if the totals are tied, each model may now declare one Triggered Ability that it has met the suit requirements for.

Damage To calculate the damage dealt by an attack, make a damage flip and add the diﬀerence between the attacker's and defender's totals. is number is called the combat total (CT). Destiny modifiers may be applied to damage flips and players may change destiny in the same way as they would for any other flip, unless they have an overall negative destiny modifier. To see how much damage has been inflicted, consult the attacker's weapon's damage stats. A weapon's damage stats converted the combat total (CT) into an amount of damage. For example a CT of 1-8 might inflict 1 damage, while a CT of 9-19 would inflict 2 damage and a CT of 20+ would inflict 3 damage.

Ranged Attacks On Models In Cover If an attack is being made against a model that is in partial cover, there are some additional modifiers that may need to be applied to Ranged Attacks: Target in soft cover (more than 50% of the model visible): Attacker's attack flip receives -1 destiny modifier. Target in hard cover (less than 50% of the model visible): Attacker's attack flip receives -2 destiny modifier.

1 e Basics - Making An Attack and Ranged Attacks On Models In Cover

Each player flips one card plus one card for each destiny modifier (+ or -) applied to their respective flips. If the flip had a positive modifier, then the model chooses which of the flipped cards to use. If the flip had a negative modifier, then the model must choose the lowest value card. e model's appropriate stats are then added to give the starting duel totals.

Determine Success If the defender's total is greater than the attacker's duel total then the attack is a failure. If the attackers duel total is equal to or greater than the defender's duel total the attack was a success and damage is calculated.

Disengaging

e Basics - Multiple Combats, Disengaging, KO’ed, Armour, Healing, Magic and Game Length

During its activation, a model may wish to disengage from one or more enemy models by moving out of contact. A model can do so, but may be blocked by the enemy. To find out if the model has been blocked make an opposed duel using the disengaging model’s Defence vs. the attackers Weapon Skill. If the disengaging model wins, it may move freely away. If the attacking model wins, the move is blocked and the disengaging model remains where it is.

KO’ed When a model has it’s health reduced to 0, the model is KO’ed and is removed from play. KO'ed models are not dead, they are just out of the battle. e fate of KO'ed models is decided once the game is over.

Armour Armour can be purchased as equipment and adds a bonus to the model’s DF stat. A model may only wear one set of armour at any time. In addition to armour, a shield may be equipped if the model is only equipped with a single-handed weapon.

Healing Game eﬀects that heal wounds cannot raise a model's wound total higher than it's starting wounds stat. When an ability or event calls for a healing flip, flip one card. is flip cannot be changed.

Magic Spells have a Casting Cost (CC) value and suit

requirement after their name. is is the spell's target number the caster needs to equal or exceed to successfully cast the spell and the suit that must be present either through the casters proficiency or from the flip. Spells also have an action point (AP) number listed after their Casting Cost. is is the number of action points the caster must use to cast the spell. To cast a spell the caster must have line of sight to any targets of the spell. A casting flip is made and the caster's Magic stat is added to the flip. Destiny modifiers may be applied to casting flips and players may change destiny in the same way as they would for any other flip, unless they have an overall negative destiny modifier. If the target number is met or exceeded the spell is a success. Unless stated otherwise spells may be cast by a warlock even if they are engaged in close combat.

Game Length A standard encounter lasts 6 turns, but may carry on even longer. At the end of turn 6, the player who activated the last model flips a card. If the card value is 10 or higher, play another turn, but increase the value needed to continue the encounter on next turn's flip by one. e encounter ends when the flip is less than the value needed. If players wish to play a longer or shorter game a diﬀerent number of turns should be agreed before the game starts and once the agreed number is reached, flips can be used to see if the game continues as described above.

SCENARIOS

Night of the Living Dead e Old O’Malley Building seems to be the only safe place during this night of the Undead. Too bad your opponent has the same idea. Place a building terrain (ideally at least 6"x6") feature in the centre of the table. e building should have a minimum of 1 point of entry per side. All entryways begin the game open. 30 XP if a player is the only one to have any models inside the building at the end of the game. 20 XP if a player has the most friendly models inside the building at the end of the game. A model may ‘Close Up’ an entry point by performing a Close Up action (1 AP). at will make a barrier of Defence (DF) 4 and Health (HT) 2 over the entry point (doorway etc.). is game will last 8 rounds as opposed to the normal 6 before the first ending flip is performed. If a player's models are completely eliminated, that player gains control of all Undead models. e Undead controller spawns 4 Zombie models at the end of each turn and the player with models remaining from their original team spawn none. Undead models do not count towards XP.

Special Occurrence for Turn 3: e Dead Walk! At the end of each turn, beginning with the last player to activate a model, each player must place 2 Zombie models on the table. Players may place a Zombie anywhere on the table, but no closer than 5” from any non-Zombie model. Zombie models may not be placed inside the building. Zombies move after all players move. Zombies have 2 actions per turn and will automatically charge or attack the nearest model or Closed Up entry point. is occurrence is in eﬀect for the entire game.

Treasure Hunt Place one treasure counter at the centre of the table after deployment but before the game begins. Any model in base contact with the treasure counter may make a pickup action (1AP). A model may pass it to another model that it is in base contact with for 1AP. A model drops the treasure if it is KO'ed or changes position for any reason other than making a move or charge action. A model carrying the treasure has it's movement reduced by 1 (-1). Gain 18 XP and 25 C if your model is carrying the treasure at the end of the game. If no model is carrying the treasure, the controller of the closest model to the treasure gains 10 XP and 25 C.

e Basics - Scenarios

As well as playing a straight battle, players have the opportunity to agree on playing one or more scenario. Scenarios are agreed on by all players and are common knowledge. Below are a few examples of scenarios.

Scout mission Divide the table into equal quarters.

e Basics - Scenarios and Goals

Gain 10 XP for each quarter of the table with more of your models in than any other opponent at the end of the game. Models within 2" of the centre of the table do not count. A model may only occupy one quarter. If one of your models is on a boundary, you may decide what quarter it is in.

Escort You have been hired to escort a model on their journey and protect them from danger. Place a model to represent the escortees with each team. At the end of the turn after the last player has moved their last model, move the escortee model 4" directly towards the centre of the table. e escortee has Defence (DF) 3 and Health (HT) 3. A model may not attack the escortee with ranged attacks or use spells that target them. A model may not attack an escortee if they are in base to base contact with an enemy model. Gain 18 XP and 20 C if your escortee is within 2" of the centre of the table and your opponent's is not. Gain 10 XP and 10 C if your escortee is within 2" of the centre of the table. Gain +5 XP if you damaged your opponent's escortee. Gain +5 XP if your escortee is undamaged at the end of the game.

GOALS Goals are lesser objectives your crew can attempt to achieve during the encounter to gain additional experience points (XP). Goals should be kept secret from opponents. Players agree the number of goals each side will have before the game starts. To see what goals a player has, each player draws a number of cards equal to the number of goals agreed. ese cards are kept to one side until the end of the game and are not shown to other players. Players then consult the list of goals to see what their allocated goal conditions are. At the end of the game, each player declares what goal they drew and checks if they have completed the goal and earned the additional experience points. If a player draws the same value card more than once, that player gains experience for each copy of the card. If a player draws a joker they get no goal for the card. Note: If both players are uhappy removing cards from their decks they may agree to use a seperate deck to draw goals from.

e Reveal At the end of an encounter, players reveal all secret goals and add up the experience points earned from them.

Assigning Experience From Goals After the players have worked out how much experience they have gained, they may divide the experience as they choose between their models that are still in play at the end of the game. Each surviving model must be allocated at least 1 XP if possible per goal achieved.

Section 2: Campaigns

Campaigns - Tech Level and Magic

Although it is perfectly acceptable to fight one-oﬀ games, a campaign gives you the opportunity to watch your team develop, to see old models gain new skills while new models join and the team grows ever more famous. A campaign allows a team to progress from modest and obscure origins to power, glory and great wealth. ere are two things you must agree before you start a campaign. First the players must agree on a Tech Level for the campaign. Secondly, if magic is going to be used.

TECH LEVEL e tech level will determine what sort of weapons, equipment and armour can be used by teams in the campaign. e higher the tech level the more advanced the weaponry. e weapons available to the teams will be all weapons of equal or lower tech level than the campaign tech level.

Tech Levels: 0 - No sharp weapons, just clubbing weapons (e.g. cavemen) 1 - Edged weapons including swords axes spears etc and basic ranged weapons (e.g. medieval knights) 2 - Basic gunpowder firearms (e.g. pirates) 3 - Some limited firearms (e.g. wild west) 4 - Automatic firearms, machine guns (e.g. modern warfare)

5 - Advanced firearms, sci-fi weaponry but no lasers (e.g. pulse rifles) 6 - Light sci-fi including basic lasers - note that at tech level 6 only, teams cannot use items of tech level 4 or 5. (e.g. steampunk) 7 - Advanced sci-fi weapons including blasters, light swords, laser cannons (e.g. star wars)

MAGIC In addition to the numeric tech level, it is also necessary to decide if any magic can be used in the campaign. If you decide to allow magic to be used in the campaign, just add the letter 'M' after the tech level. For example to have a typical Fantasy campaign your tech level would be 1M. You can start the campaign as soon as two players have decided on the Tech Level and recruited their teams. New players can join the campaign at any time thereafter. Although new teams will be less developed they will soon learn new skills. Fighting other, more powerful teams will enable them to develop more quickly. OPTIONAL RULE:

Rebalance Teams If players feel that teams become too unbalanced but still wish to be able to play with models that they have developed, they may find it helpful to agree a team value before the start of the game. Players can then select models from their team as long as the team value does not exceed this limit.

Section 3: Team Recruitment • Minimum 3 models: A team must have at least three models. • Leader: Your team must have one leader. Not more. Not less! • Minions: You can include as many minions as you can aﬀord. • Champion: A team can have up to two champions but no more. • Rookies: No more than half the team can be made up of rookies. • Warlock: A team may recruit 1 warlock for every 2 non-Warlock models in the team up to a maximum of 3.

CHARACTER SHEETS As you will see from the character sheets, they have been designed to help you quickly and easily keep track of a model's details during play. To the right is a diagram of what a filled out character sheet might look like. e front contains the basic information such as model stats, experience and weapon stats. e back of the sheet has an area to fill in any abilities, spells or special items obtained.

One of the main points worth noting is that underneath the main stat circles on the front of the sheet, there are faint icons of the four suits. is is so that you can put a mark against the stat if your model obtains a Triggered Ability that would be triggered by flipping a card of the appropriate suit when using the ability. In contrast, the magic stat has the suits to indicate what type of magic they are schooled in. is means the suit that they add to all of their flips using the magic stat. ese can be ticked as and when they are acquired.

WEAPONS A model can carry only one 2-handed weapon. He can have any number of other weapons.

Section 4: Post Battle Sequence

After the battle is over the players work their way through the following sequence.

Post Battle Sequence - Serious Injuries and Serious Injuries Chart

1. Determine the extent of injuries for each model KO’ed at the end of the game. Models. See the Serious Injuries section. 2. Allocate Experience points for your models and make any Advance flips. See the Experience section. 3. Use models to earn money for the team. 4. Recruit new models and buy new equipment. 5. Adjust the model’s Points Values and calculate your Team Points Value and you are ready to fight again.

SERIOUS INJURIES During a game some models will be KO'ed and are removed from play. During the game it doesn’t matter whether a man who goes out of action is dead, unconscious, or badly injured – in terms of the game he is no longer capable of fighting and that is all that matters. When you are playing a campaign it matters a great deal what happens to models who go out of action! ey might recover completely ready to fight in the next battle, or they might sustain debilitating injuries. Possibly they are captured by the enemy, or maybe they have to spend a while recovering their strength. Worst of all they might die or be so badly injured they have to retire.

You will notice that the Serious Injuries chart doesn’t just include serious injuries, it covers a range of things that might befall your model. To find out what happens to models who are KO'ed, make a flip and consult the Serious Injuries chart. If a model flips an injury that it already has, ignor the result.

Serious injuries chart Joker - DEAD e model is killed in action and his body abandoned. All the weapons and equipment carried by the character are lost. Reflip this result if it reduces the number of models in a team to less than 3. 1 - SPOOKED e model is traumatised by battles. From now on this model must be the last model you activate in a turn. 2 - CHEST WOUND e character has been badly wounded in the chest. He recovers but is weakened by the injury and has his Defence is reduced by 1 (-1). 3 - LEG WOUND e fighter has smashed a leg. He recovers from his injuries but he can no longer move quickly. e fighter’s Move stat is reduced by 1 (-1).

4 Post Battle Sequence - Serious Injuries Chart

4 - ARM WOUND e character has smashed one arm. Although he recovers from his injury his strength is permanently reduced as a result. e character’s Weapon Skill stat is decreased by 1 (-1). Models with an arm wound may not use 2-Handed weapons or weapons that require 2 hands. 5 - HEAD WOUND A serious head injury leaves the model somewhat Dazed. e model suﬀers a -1 destiny modifier on all Weapon Skill and Ranged Skill flips. 6 - BLINDED IN ONE EYE e model survives but loses the sight of one eye. A character with only one eye has his Ranged Skill reduced by 1 (-1). 7 - OLD BATTLE WOUND e character recovers but his wound has weakend him. His Defence is reduced by 1 (-1). 8 - HIDEOUS SCARS e character is alive but has suﬀered some terrible scaring. e model gains the ability ‘Fear’. 9 - ROBBED e model manages to escape, but all his weapons, armour and equipment are lost.

10 - BITTER ENEMY Although he makes a full physical recovery, the model has been psychologically scarred by his experiences. He develops a bitter hate for the team that was responsible for his injury. From now on, the model hates the following (make a flip). 1-7 e individual enemy who inflicted the injury (if unknown, the team leader). 8-10 e leader of the team who inflicted the injury. 11-13 e entire team responsible for the injury. HATRED A model with hatred must always move towards, charge or attack (or cast oﬀensive spell towards) the model it hates unless it is already in combat. If the model hates an entire team, this applies to the nearest model of the team. 11-12 - FULL RECOVERY e model has been knocked unconscious or suﬀers a mildly incapacitating wound from which he makes a full recovery. 13 - SURVIVES AGAINST THE ODDS e model regains consciousness alone in the darkness, given up for dead by his companions and overlooked by his enemies. Despite his injuries he makes his way back home. He recovers fully and his uncanny survival earns him an additional 8 Experience points.

EXPERIENCE

Earning Experience Experience points are always added to the character’s total after the game is over.

Experience Points In addition to experience points earned from goals, Models who take part in the game earn experience points as noted below. 5 Survives If a model survives the battle then 5 experience points are earned. Even models who are KO'ed receive experience for taking part. 8 Per model KO'ed A model earns 8 points for each enemy model he KO'ed during the battle. Make a note on the character sheet every time the model KO's an enemy model.

When a team fights an enemy team with a higher Team Points Value then its models gain extra Experience points and Credits just for taking part in the battle. e bigger the diﬀerence in the Team Points Value, the more Experience and Credits the underdog team will gain. At the end of the battle, the underdog gains the diﬀerence between the two teams Points Values divided by 10 (rounded up) in Experience and in Credits. UNDERDOG BONUS = (HIGHEST TEAM POINTS VALUE LOWEST TEAM POINTS VALUE) 10

If playing a multiplayer game, only the team with the lowest Team Value gains the underdog bonus. If more than one team share the lowest team rating, no team earns the underdog bonus.

Post Battle Sequence - Experience, Earning Experience and Underdogs

Models earn Experience points when they take part in a battle. Once a model has enough Experience points he gains an advance. is takes the form of either an increased stat or a special skill. Models who survive long enough may progress to become mighty heroes with many special abilities that they have picked up over the course of their combat career. When models are recruited they already have some experience. is is listed with the model classes.

Once a Rookie has earned 21 or more experience points he becomes a fully fledged Minion. You can re-arm the model as a Minion rather than a Rookie. Note that his profile stays the same – however, he is now experienced enough to be a fully fledged Minion. Note that when a Minion reaches 61 or more experience points he does not become a Champion or Leader but remains a Minion – albeit a particularly tough and dangerous one called a Team Hero.

Title (Notes)

ADVANCE FLIPS

Flip Result Joker - Flip two cards and use the result of the lowest card flipped. 1-4 New Skill. Make a flip to see what Skill table you will gain a skill from. en randomly generate a skill from it. 0-1= Agility, 2-3= Combat, 4-6= Muscle, 7-9= Ferocity, 10-11= Team, 12-13= Shooting. 5-7 Stat Increase.

If the model has a magic stat of 4 or more, you may choose a new spell instead of a skill if you wish.

ere are seven types of skill and each has its own separate table: Agility, Combat, Muscle, Ferocity, Team, Shooting, and Magic. If you refer to these tables you’ll see that each oﬀers diﬀerent skills. To determine a new skill for a model, pick the type of skill you want from those available, then make a flip to determine which skill has been learned. If you flip a skill that the model already has or that he is not allowed to take for any reason, you may pick any skill of that type.

Stat Increase An advance flip of 5-9 will increase one of a model's stats. Record stat increases for each model on the character sheet. Maximum stats: Some stats, such as Weapon Skill (WS), Ranged Skill (RS), Magic (MG), Defence (DF) and Health (HT) have a maximum number that once reached cannot be exceeded. For all of these stats, the maximum number is 10. If a stat increases beyond this through a stat increase re-flip the result. Minimum stats: Permanent reductions to stats, like injuries, cannot reduce a stat below the value of 0. Any further reduction to that stat is ignored.

Section 8: Ready to fight again

Team Points Value Each model has a “Points Value”. To calculate a model’s Initial Point Value, add together its class cost, any costs for races, and the cost of any items carried (weapons and armour). INITIAL POINTS VALUE = COST OF MODEL + COST OF RACE + COST OF ITEMS You will need to adjust each model’s Points Values after every game. To adjust the model’s Points Value, add an additional 10 points for each level the model has gained and minus 5 points for each injury the model has suﬀered. Remember to make any adjustments to costs of items the model may have. ADJUSTED POINTS VALUE = INITIAL VALUE + (10 x NUMBER OF LEVELS GAINED) - (5 x NUMBER OF INJURIES SUFFERED) Note: Make any adjustments for items carried To calculate the total Team Value, just total up the value of all models in your team.

THAT’S THAT at’s all of the rules that currently exist for the game, but as Warmonger is all about having fun, feel free to add rules, create scenarios and goals and even invent your own abilities.

Models Although the rules refer to models, Warmonger can be played with anything that might represent characters battling each other. Some alternatives include; Lego minifigures, chess pieces and if you are happy with scaling up distances for movement and range, even larger action figures can be used.

Note: Jedi (Star Wars) If you decide to play a TL7 game in the setting of Star Wars, play as if magic (Force Powers) were available, but that all spell lists include only the following spells: Push, Obey, Shockwave, U'Zhul's Fire, Lure and Phoenix Crown. Also, substitute races as you see fit.

Character Sheets ere is also a full blank character sheet for you to photocopy, cut out and use for your new characters. is character sheet is intended to be cut out and folded to make a double sided character sheet, making it easier to keep track of all of the abilities, spells and items that your characters gain throughout their lives.
