    MANUAL PRINT AND PLAY VERSION INTRODUCTION The primary objective of the game is to collect Victory Points. The first player to get a set amount becomes The Furry General, the highest military rank of Armymals. You can get VPs by completing specific objectives: destroying enemy tanks, controlling strategic loca- tions, capturing flags and more. In this rulebook you will find out how to set up the game, what actions you can perform during your tum and an in-depth explanation of the mechanics. oy > » © @ Start the game by giving each player: a Flag Token and all Control Tokens of one color 2 tank models and 2 Tank Tokens inatank'’s color. @ 3 random Animal Cards Beginning from the youngest, each player puts a Flag Token on a base hex of choice. There is ‘one in each comer of the board. Place the tank models on the adjacent highlighted hexes facing any direction. Put all the models - forests and moun- tains on the corresponding hexes. Do the same with the strategic locations. Prepare Acom Tokens, Damage Tokens, Armor Tokens and Victory Points. Draw 3 cards from the Mission Deck. Place them face up next to the board. Deal each player 1 card from the Action Deck. Choosing 1 Commander and 2 Drivers from Animal Cards will be the first important deci- ‘sion during every match. Each animal has common features — Commander Skill, Driver Skill and Attributes (blue, green and red stamps). Once you choose a Commander put him in the middle and a Driver on each side.

WINNING THE GAME Victory Points Ifat any moment during the game you have 7 Victory Points you win. Victory Points are repre- ‘sented by tokens with medals on them. Each token is worth 3, 2 or 1 VP depending on the color. The VPs can never go below 0. The number of VPs needed to win a game can vary depending on the Operations. It can also by adjusted by players to make the game shorter or longer. In this prototype version the Victory Points needed to win will always be 7. iD ©) © Operations e/ «2 The most common way to obtain VPs are Operations. They are global objectives that reward every player for completing them. In the full game there will be a list of Operations for players to choose or random from to keep things interesting. In the prototype please use alll the following Operations alll together. Each can be completed multiple times. OPERATION: ANNIHILATION q REWARD - 2VP FOR DESTROYING A TANK. ey For every player that deals the last point of Damage to an enemy tank. Can be achieved by using a “Boom” die, a skill or a card. This Operation will be used in almost every game to encour- age players to directly compete against each other. OPERATION: CAPTURE THE FLAG TAL REWARD - 5 VPS FOR EACH FLAG CAPTURED ey W/ For every player that successfully drives into an enemy base hex, steals the Flag Token and captures it High move statistic paired with rolling many “1”, ‘2’ and “Spin” dice will allow you to cover a lot of ground during a tum. If an oportunity arises you can grab enemy flag and try to deliver it to your base but be ready for everyone focusing fire on you. OPERATION: DOMINATION REWARD - 1 VP FOR CONTROLLING A WINDMILL } REWARD - 1 VP FOR CONTROLLING 3 OTHER STRATEGIC LOCATIONS. wy For every player that at the beginning of his turn has a Control Token on the Windmill or on 3 strategic locations other than the windmill. Ifa game is aligned the player with more control points will usually win. Try to reclaim other players' locations and always keep an eye on the Windmill. Having a Control Token on the Windmill can be a key to winning the game. OPERATION: MISSION DECK EA REWARD - VARIES DEPENDING ON THE CARD 2) &/) 2 For every player that meets the requirement from the Mission Card. At the beginning of the game put 3 random Mission Cards face up next to the board. The first player to complete any mission must discard it and claim the Victory Points. Try to always remember what missions are avaliable and complete them if you have the possibility. DETAILED EXPLANATION OF RULES DICE AND ROLLS REROLLS Each tum a player can reroll the dice twice. The result of the second reroll is the final result. fa player does not want to reroll any- | more he has to state it. There are some Skills and Action Cards that are used at the beginning of turn . This means before rolling the dice. Once the dice are rolled all cards and skills affecting the dice cannot be used until there are no more rerolls. If a player chooses not to reroll a die in the first reroll he can siill reroll it in the second re- troll. DICE Each die result gives a different bonus when used. To use a die put it aside.

Now Abrahamster uses his double. @--@ to draw an Action Card. It is a “Moo!” that can counter a “Glancing Hit’. If he drew “Moo!” before shooting he could use it. Now it is too late. DETAILED EXPLANATION OF Ri ACORNS AND ACTION CARDS Gaining Acorns Using (2) gives an Acom. Acoms are represented by Acom Tokens. Store them on your Commander. You can use Acorns at any time during the game if an ability or card requires it Paying There are Acom costs on Action Cards and Command- er Skills. They represent the amount of Acoms that a player has to pay to activate them. To pay remove a corresponding number of Acom Tokens from your Commander. Going Nuts If there are 8 or more Acorn Tokens on the commander at the end of the tum he “goes nuts’. You lose half of Acorn Tokens rounded down and an active tank gets 2 Damage Tokens. Ifa tank is destroyed this way its con- troller loses 1 Victory Point. Using an Action Card To use an Action Card pay its Acorn cost. Unless stated otherwise, an Action Card can only be used during your tum on any tank or player in the game. Used Action Cards from all players are discarded and create a dis- card pile. When there are no more Action Cards to draw shuffle the discard pile and create a new deck. Drawing Action Cards Each player starts the game with 1 Action Card. To draw more Action Cards use 2 dice with the same result. Those dice do not provide their base bonuses when they are used this way. Hand Size At the end of your tum discard all cards but 5.

Remember that at every point during movementa tank has to directly face one of a hex's walls. Move Points Driving around the map costs Move Points.

MOVE ORDER { Using dice and actions during a tum can be performed in any order necessary. You can per- form other actions between using Move Points. This means a tank can use some Move Points, use a die, use an Action Card and then use the remaining Move Points to retreat out of opponents range. IMPASSABLE TERRAIN | You cannot use your Move Points to drive on hexes with other models on it. This includes forests, mountains, strategic locations and other tanks. DETAILED EXPLANATION OF RULES SHOOTING DEALING DAMAGE when shooting conditions are met results in dealing Damage. Damage is represented by Damage Tokens. Put them on an enemy tank you shot at. Using Before shooting make sure that all the following conditions are met. ARC OF SIGHT Condition: You have to see an enemy tank. Your turret is facing one of the hex walls and can only shoot in that direction. This does not mean that you can only shoot in a straight line. There is a 60 degree cone that starts at the single hex right in front of the turret and extends the further it goes. Take a look at the picture to see how the width of the Arc is depending on the distance from the turret. picture ‘Clear View and Are of Sight | Allhighlighted hexes are in the blue tanks Arc of Sight. Green hexes meet the 2nd shooting condition - Clear View. The red hexes are blocked by impass- able terrain. The greenired lines show how to check ifa hexis in a Clear View. DETAILED EXPLANATION OF RULES SHOOTING Condition: Your vision of an enemy cannot be obstructed. CLEAR VIEW If there is an obstacle between you and an enemy you cannot land a shot. The vision is ob- structed by impassable terrain — forests, mountains, strategic locations and other tanks. To check if you have a Clear View, draw a line from the center of your hex to the center of the hex including an enemy tank. If the line goes through a hex with impassable terrain the oppo- nent has cover and you cannot shoot. However, ifthe line just touches an edge of an impass- able hex you have the Clear View. Condition: An enemy tank cannot be further than you can shoot. picture ‘Clear View and Arc of Sight 5 RANGE Range is a Driver Statistic on Animal Card. It is the distance from which you can land a shot. To check if an enemy tank is in Range count the hexes between the two models. Start from the hex that your turret faces and end on the hex including an enemy tank. The number must be equal or lower than your Range. The Range is not used like Move Points. You cannot spend it. The Range value applies to each shot during a turn. You can extend the Range by using any number of Q@- B They increase your Range for this tum only. picture ‘Clear Range and Armour’ | a blue tank needs to shoot atthe enemies. } Blue tank is shooting at | green tank's back, 20 the damage cannot be pre- Vented by armor, Orange tankis facing a blue one y Lines on the ground show how much Renge and can use armor. = DETAILED EXPLANATION OF Ri SHOOTING ARMOR TOKENS | Any time during your tum you can discard an Action Card to put an Amor Token on your active tank. You can block damage from shooting done to this tank by removing an Armor Token in- stead of putting a Damage Token at any time. Your active tank loses all unused Armor Tokens. at the beginning of its tum. You can use Armor Tokens only to block the shots from the front. a @® Oe Y picture ‘Range and Armour’ | DESTROYING A TANK | When the amount of Damage Tokens on a tank equals its Health statistic it becomes de- stroyed. A destroyed tank needs the attention of a mechanic and to reload ammunition. That tank immediately goes back to one of your highlighted hexes adjacent to the base hex fecing any direction. if both hexes are blocked put the tank on the closest unoccupied hex. A tank de ‘stroyed in previous tum can perform actions normally except it cannot use [
