Glossary

This Regiment may add one additional Chant Marker to the Chant Sequence belonging to its Cult.

When this Regiment's Command Stand is destroyed the Player gains 2 Power Tokens.

The Action Phase is where the majority of the Action of the battle takes place. Regiments march and march again, charge into melee, or fire volleys at distant foes. As a result, the Action Phase is also usually the longest and most exciting Phase of the game, and needs breaking down into more detail than the others.

This Ability may be used once per Battle and requires the Character or Regiment to currently be on the Battlefield. Once Activated the effects last until the end of the Round regardless if the Character or Regiment has been removed from the Battlefield in the meantime.

Stands in this Regiment count all their arcs as their Front Arc and Ignore Stands in this regiment for purpose of determining Line of Sight and Checking for obstruction when performing Volley Action.

An option bought in addition to the Regiment's existing equipment or abilities.

Stands in this Regiment, including Characters, add +1 to their Volley Characteristic for the next Volley Action it takes this Activation. If this modifies the Volley Characteristic to a 5 or greater, they do not receive the +1 Volley but instead may Re-Roll unmodified Hit Rolls of "6".

This Ability is always considered to be active regardless of whether the Character or Regiment is currently on the Battlefield, in Reinforcements or having been destroyed.

Rules and abilities with this keyword are always considered to be active regardless of whether a Character or Regiment is currently on the Battlefield, in Reinforcements or having been destroyed.

Until the end of this Regiment's Activation, if the Regiment has the Aimed Shot Special Rule and is not currently occupying a piece of Garrison terrain, instead of performing a Volley Action as normal it may perform the following:The Regiment suffers -1 to its Volley Characteristic until the end of the Regiment's Activation. Then the Regiment may select an Enemy Regiment in its front arc, within Barrage Range of at least one of its Stands and within Line of Sight of a Friendly Regiment and perform the Volley Action against it as if its Volley was a Clear Shot. Only Stands in the Regiment with this Special Rule may participate in this Volley Action. If all Stands in the Target Regiment are within a piece of Cover Terrain then the Barrage (X) Special Rule is halved as normal, if the Target Regiment does not have all its Stands within a piece of Cover Terrain then there are no penalties to the Barrage (X) Special Rule.

Battlefield Role tag for the Ardent creed. If the Warlord is Ardent, friendly Ardent/Clan Regiments Awaken immediately after a successful Charge or destroying an Enemy Regiment, Command Stands may always use "Die Fighting", and the whole army gains Scouts.

When a Stand with this Special Rule performs a Volley or Spellcasting Action, any Hits caused by those attacks reduce the Target Regiment's Defense by X. E.g. A Stand with Armor Piercing (2) would reduce the Target's Defense by 2 during Defense Rolls from its Volley Action.

Attacks tell us how many dice each Stand contributes when attacking an Enemy.

An Ability identifier: its effect applies to Regiments within the stated range of the source.

At the start of an Enemy Regiment's "Draw Command Card" Step, that Regiment suffers X Hits where X is equal to the sum of Aura of Death (X) value of each Stand in contact with that Regiment. These Hits do not Trigger Morale Tests. If the Regiment is destroyed by this Special Rule before the "Resolve Draw Event" step, then the Active Player discards the Command Card and may Draw their next Command Card and perform Actions with it. The maximum Value of Aura of Death (X) for a non-monster Regiment is always 4, that means each stand will add a maximum of 4 Hits, there is no such limitation for Monster Regiments.

Some Special Rules have a wide effect affecting every Regiment currently within Range. These Special Rules can easily be identified by the Aura keyword next to their name. Aura Ranges are measured from any point of a Stand with that Special Rule. While a Regiment declares an Action to Perform while currently within range of this Aura it benefits from its effects until the end of that Action. A Regiment cannot benefit from the same AuraSpecial Rule multiple times.

Stands with this Special Rule never receive the benefit of the Inspired Special Rule. Stands with this Special Rule do not have a Resolve Characteristic and always count as automatically passing any Morale or Resolve Characteristic test. However, Regiments with this Special Rule may still be Broken and/or Shattered as a result of casualties as their formation collapses and soldiers are cut down. If this Regiment is joined by a Character Stand without this Special Rule, the Character Stand's Resolve Characteristic is only used during a Duel Action.

A Stand with this Special Rule contributes X Shots when its Regiment performs a Volley Action. The Range, as well as any Special Rules, are given in a second set of parentheses after the Barrage (X) Special Rule.

Until the end of the Round, all Stands in this Regiment gain +X Defense.

If during a single Volley Action the Regiment inflicts one or more Wounds on Target Enemy Regiment all Stands in the Target Regiment suffer a -1 to their March Characteristic until the end of the Round. Multiple instances of this Special Rule do not stack.

This Ability is considered to be active while the Character or Regiment is currently on the Battlefield.

If a Regiment has suffered any Wounds or lost Stands that have neither been Healed nor Restored (respectively) it counts as being Below Starting Strength and will be referred to as such by other rules.

Roll a D6. This Regiment Heals a number of Wounds equal to the result. If the Regiment affected is not Infantry, reduce the Healing value to D3.

Once per Round, when this Regiment Marches over a Size 1 Enemy Regiment, it inflicts 5 Hits. These Hits count as originating from the Enemy Regiment's Flank and do not trigger Morale Tests.

When this Regiment causes an Enemy Regiment to be Destroyed, Friendly Regiments within 8" become Awakened until the end of the Round.

Once per Round, Stands with this Special Rule may choose to Re-Roll all their failed Hit Rolls or all of their failed Defense Rolls during a Clash or Charge Action. All Stands in the Regiment must Re-Roll the same Roll at the same time and must declare the use of Blessed before making the Roll they wish to Re-Roll.

When this Regiment Chants the Battlecry, it gains the Impact (+2) Special Rule until the end of the Round.

This Regiment suffers no penalties when an attached Character declines a Duel. A Broken Regiment still cannot decline a Duel.

Instead of Defense Rolls, each successful Hit inflicts Wounds equal to the target Regiment's (unmodified) Size. These Wounds do not cause Morale Tests.

Stands in this Regiment, including Characters, ignore the Fearsome and Terrifying (X) Special Rules. In addition, at the start of the Regiment's Activation, after resolving any Draw Events but before performing its first Action, remove the Broken status from this Regiment.

When this Regiment performs a Volley Action - excluding any attached Character:

Whenever a Regiment with this Special Rule makes Defense Rolls as a result of either a Clash or Charge Action it treats two successful results as fails if that Action is originating from this Regiment's Flank, and twice as many if it originates from the Regiment's Rear.

If, during the course of a single Round, a Regiment loses half or more of the Stands than it had at the beginning of the Round or when it last Rallied during that Round (rounded up), it is immediately Broken.

When a Stand with this Special Rule inflicts Impact Attacks, those Impact Attacks reduce the Target Enemy Regiment's Defense by X for the purposes of making Defense Rolls against those Impact Attacks. E.g. A Stand with Brutal Impact (2) would reduce the Target's Defense by 2 when making Defense Rolls from its Impact Attacks.

At the start of the Command Phase, take all of the Command Cards for your surviving Regiments on the Battlefield, and any Command Cards for Regiments arriving as Reinforcements this Round, and arrange them in a face-down Command Stack. You should arrange your Command Stack carefully, placing the Regiment you want to act first right at the top, the Regiment you want to act last at the bottom, and the remainder organized in between.
