APPENDIX

 

 

Nobles Attributes Table:

 

D6                                           Result

 

1                              Potential Usurper. This Commander can only give orders to units within 20cm – effectively he becomes a subordinate.

 

2                              Reluctant Leader. Units given orders by this commander can move no more than twice in a turn rather than up to three times

                                as normal.

 

3                              Reliable Commander. No special rules apply to this leader.

 

4                              Headstrong Commander. Add +1 to the commanders attacks. If the commander rolls a blunder, all ordered units must advance

                                as far as possible towards the nearest enemy and charge if able to do so.

 

5                              Charismatic Leader. This commander may re-roll one failed command per game.

 

6                              Venerable Leader. Increase the commanders command value by +1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personal Challenges:

 

If a character ends its movement within 10cm of an opposing character they may issue a Personal Challenge.

 

The challenged character can either choose to accept the challenge, or refuse, if they elect to refuse they must roll a Command test(NB: Generals may always elect to refuse without the need to make a Command roll), if the test is passed the challenged character has resisted the urge to fight and can remain where they are, if the roll is failed or they choose to accept the challenge  move both characters into base to base contact and so that they are not touching any other unit or character. Both characters then roll 1d6 adding their attack score to the result, the difference in scores is then compared to the following chart:

 

Draw- Both characters retreat as per the standard rule

Character wins by 1 – the loser must retreat 1cm

Character wins by 2 – the loser must retreat 2cm and may not issue an order in the following turn

Character wins by 3 or more – the loser is dead or severely wounded and takes no further part in the battle

 

 

 

 

Champions:

 

Any Infantry unit may be led by a Champion. One stand is designated as containing the Champion, this must be modelled on the stand (the easiest why is by using a command strip or standard bearer/musician/leader combination) This stand costs +5 points and adds +1 attack, if the Champions stand is removed as a casualty the unit loses the bonus attack.

 

 

                                                                                                What no General?

 

An army is not required to be led by a General........
