S: 8
National Sign:
+1 morale* to allied troops in 10 steps range of the commander.
New Orders:
2 times a round you can make 1 more turn with 1 unit. (cannot be used by the commander himself, but can be used by the same unit 2 times in a round.
When 1 "new orders" have been used, it is indicated by placing a marker besides the generals name on the armycard (theyre removed by the start of a new round).
Shield Guard (tower shield or oval shield, helmet, sword):
LP: 7
A: 2
D: 4
S: 6
Large Shield/Shield Wall:
Any unit in 3S or less away form a Shield Guard gets +1D against enemy attacks,
as long as it is the 3S or less close to the Shield Guard
Axeman (“guard axe” or “Viking axe”, helmet, triangular shield):
LP: 7
A: 2
D: 2
S: 8
Shield-grabbing Axe:
The blade of an axe is good for grabbing an opponents
shield and thus push it down. Attacks on
units with 2D or more ignores 1D
Officer (max 1 per. army) (visor helmet, sword, oval shield)
LP: 10
A: 3
D: 3
S: 8
New Leader:
As the second commanding troop of the regiment, an officer can be promoted to leader, in case the commander dies. However, Officers doesnt hav the “National Sign” ability,
and their “New Orders” can only be used once a turn. But if you have an officer in your army, both him and the kommander have to die before your units gets the -1 morale for having no leader.
LP = life points (how many hits unit can take before dieing)
A = attack (highest amount of damage unit can deal)
D = defense (highest number of attacks unit can block)
R = range (highest amount of steps away unit can hit opponents)
S = speed/steps (highest amount of steps unit can walk)
All the above explanations (except the one for LP) means max… pr. turn.
Rules:
Riding:
Any kind of unit (except two-handed-swordsmen, pikemen and standard bearers) can be mounted on a horse. If a mounted unit dies, the horse stay on the battlefield and can be used by other units (or there can be some horses without riders placed around the battlefield from the start, ready to be used). A unit mounted on a horse gets:
+2 LP and + 2 S. Lancers have to be mounted all the time. Mounted units cannot be on a battlement or other place, where the players can see it is unrealistic. F.x. climbing up a ladder is a little impossible for a horse. Same rules of bonuses count for commanders, ie, a commander on foot have 12 LP, while a commander on a horse have 14.
Battles:
Lets say a swordsman (3A/2D) attacks a spearman (2A/2D).
The player who has the swordsman takes 3 normal 6-sided dices (one for each A of the swordsman) and the player who has the spearman takes 2 of the same kind of dices (one for each D of the unit).
They then throw these dices without looking at the result.
Then both players take 1 dice, compare the number of eyes and remove the used dices. If attackers dice shows most eyes, it means that attacker has hit defender. If defenders dice shows most eyes, the strike has been blocked. Continue doing this until all dices have been used (swordsman has 1A more than spearman has D, so that is automatically 1 damage on spearman). The result could be something like this:
Dice 1: Attacker gets a 4, defender gets a 2.
Dice 2: Attacker gest a 1, defender gets a 5.
Dice 3: No more dices for defender, attacker automatically wins this one.
In this case the result would be 2 damage on the spearman (1 for dice 2, 1 for dice 3)
If attacker can only see something of defender, defender gets +1D.
Army Setup:
The size of the players armies are decided by the chosen amount of points available for each players. You automatically have a commander (if you want, you can give him a special name) This is the prices for the different units:
Spearman: 60 pt.
Swordsman: 100 pt.
Archer: 125 pt.
Lancer: 150 pt.
Pikeman: 150 pt.
Crossbowman: 150 pt.
Two-handed-swordsmen: 150 pt.
Standard Bearer: 125 pt.
Shield Guard: 150 pt.
Axeman: 125 pt.
Officer: 200pt.
(these are just an idea for the cost of the units)
This is an example of a players Army-Card, a piece of paper that show wich units he/she has, how many hits they have taken, how many hits they can take (LP) and how many enemies they have killed:
(1000 pt. army)
Player 1
(unit type)-----------------(hits taken)----------------------(LP)----------(kills)
_____________________________________________________________
Swordsman 1: I I I /7 I I
Swordsman 2: I I /7
Pikeman 1: I I I I I I I /7 I
Pikeman 2: /7
Archer 1 I I I /7 I I
Archer 2: I /7
Archer 3: /7
Standard bearer 1: I I I /7
Valdemarr Barel(commander): I I I I /12-14 I I I
In this case, pikeman 1 will be removed from the battlefield, since he has already taken the maximum 7 hits. To prevent confusion, it will also be a good idea to make cross out his name on the Army-Card. Since player 1s troops are named with numbers (f.x. swordsman 1, swordsman 2), player 2s troops has to be named with letters
(f.x. pikeman a, pikeman b).
The units number or letter is indicated on it with a small piece of paper on double-sided tape with the number/letter on wich is put somewhere on the unit. In case of too large armies for the number of letters in the alfabet, continue like this: after f.x. swordsman z, you just make swordsman a1. Alternatively ( in case of small armies), if you don’t have an army of clones, you can write down what makes a minifig look otherwise than an other (fx., 1 archer with black hair, 1 with grey hair, 1 smiley and so on)
Ranks:
All units start on rank 1 (soldier). If a unit has killed 2 enemies, it gets to rank 2 (warrior), and if it has killed 4 enemies, it gets to rank 3 (veteran). A units rank is indicated with a S (soldier), a W (warrior) or a V (veteran) besides its name.
A soldier has the normal 7 LP. A warrior gets +1 LP.
A veteran gets additional +1 LP.
Morale:
Morale is increased by standard bearers and commanders ability “National Sign”.
For each plus in morale a unit has, it gets +1A and +1D. (therefore -1 in morale gives -1A and -1D)
Range:
Range indicates how long away a unit can attack from. Archers and crossbowmen have a special range, while all other units have to stand so near to their target that it looks like they can realistically use their weapon. (f.x., you can`t fight with a pike with one hand or use it while only holding it just right on the back-part of it).
Siege weapons:
Siege weapons include rams, catapults and siege towers/ ladders. When climbing on a siege ladders, there are two options for movement. The first one is: all units speed is halved, and 1S is like 1 cm. movement on the ladder. The other one, and most simple, is: it takes 3 turns to climb a siege ladder. The players decide wich to use from the start of the game. The chosen rule counts for normal ladders too in case of option 2, it takes 1 turn to climb a normal ladder).The number of units required to carry a ram or push a siege tower w.m. is 4. Rams, catapults and siege towers/ladders have 6 S. Since it is lighter, the number of units required to carry a siege ladder is only 2, but the D bonus from siege ladders is only 1. To prevent that units using a siege weapon dies too easily, all units carrying a ram or pushing a siege tower gets +2 D. Since it is lighter, the number of units required to carry a siege ladder is only 2, but the D bonus from siege ladders is only 1. Mounted units cant carry/push siege weapons or climb on a siege ladder/tower. A ram can hit a gate once per turn from and with the turn it reaches the gate. A gate has 4 LP, and can only be damaged by rams, wich deal 1 damage on the gate each round. A ram cant attack the gate in the same round it reaches it. A catapult has 6A, and a chosen amount of ammunition. It takes 1 turn to load a catapult (starts loaded). As other siege weapons, transportable catapults require 4 units to push. These also counts for the guys firing it. In case of stationary catapults, there is needed 1 unit to fire it.
Height advantage:
If a unit is more than 5 bricks higher up than the one its fighting against, it gets +1A/D. (if attacking, +1A, if defending, +1D). Also here counts this rule: think logically! Fx. cant a swordsman standing on a 7 bricks high wall hit anyone on the ground.
Minimum range:
Archers and crossbowmen have a minimum range of 6S between it and its target. Catapults have 40S range and 10S minimum range (its experimental).
Other stuff:
One step means either one dot, stud or whatever you call those small round thingys on the lego plates, or 1 cm. You decide.
If a players commander dies, all that players units gets -1 morale.
Ranged units cannot move and attack in the same turn.
tell me what yuo think about em!.
