Personally, I don't adjust distances for smaller
scales as in most cases, keeping them same will
make them feel more natural.
In campaign games, it is of benefit to be able to

tell your figures apart, either by selecting poses
carefully or by marking the base in some
manner. A small mark on the edge of the base
can serve as an easy identifier without
distracting from the visuals of the game.

for the remainder of the game.
1's and 6's are special results that result in a non-
standard turn being played.
1: Scurry!
If a 1 is rolled, your force sees an opportunity to relocate and redeploy, and suddenly everyone is
scurrying towards new positions.
Each of your figures may be moved up to a full move in any direction though they may not enter
hand to hand combat. Figures currently in hand to hand may move away (escaping) but prisoners
and figures unable to move (down, ducking back etc.) must remain in place.
Scurrying figures are not subject to any snap fire or guard fire reactions so this is a great time to
take risky moves.
After the player finishes all the moves they want to take, the opposing player may scurry with any
figure that had line of sight to a moving figure this turn, at any point of their movement.
Once all moves are completed, the turn ends.
6: Fire Fight!
If a 6 is rolled, your men are getting bogged down in a fire fight. Each of your figures may fire at
any available target to them if able to do so, but may not move.
Once all fire is finished, each opposing figure with a line of sight to one of your figures may fire on
it, subject to the same limitations.
Opposing figures that are in cover and hiding may elect to peek up and fire, but are not required to
do so. If they do, they may not act in their own, following turn. To avoid forgetting, it is a good
idea to place a marker near the figure to indicate its status.
Once all firing has finished, the turn ends.
In the event no figure has line of sight to an enemy figures, treat this as a Scurry! instead.

What's happening here?

In most turns, you only get to move 2 guys out of 5 or 6. This essentially mimics a film or TV show.
The camera zooms in on a particular piece of the action and time gets suspended a bit. If you keep
activating the two guys that are slugging it out with the enemy, that's where the camera focus is.
If you decide to leave them in place and move up a couple of other guys to flank the enemy, it
obviously means they've been pinned down and we're now focusing on the relief force instead.

dice.
What is happening here?

When firing across an obstacle, you are essentially firing at vague movements in the distance. Such
fire is going to be inaccurate and rarely will cause casualties, though it may encourage the enemy
to hit the dirt.
Whenever conducting such fire, we are treating it as suppressing fire only.

To assault a bunker, see the rules for Buildings. To resolve this, when firing at a target, the

time, to keep the game moving at a good pace.
The Kill die:
1: Knock Down
The target figure is knocked down. Some players may use a small marker to indicate this, while
others may (gently!) place the figure lying down.
Figures that are down may not act normally. If the figure is activated on its own or another friendly
figure moves into contact with them, they may roll to recover.
To check for recovery, simply roll the Kill die again. Another 1 indicates the figure remains Down
until checked again. A 6 indicates they have become Out of action. Any other roll indicates they've
regained their bearings and may act normally in following turns.
Moving into contact with an enemy that is knocked down results in that enemy being taken prisoner
or incapacitated as a casualty.
6: Out of action
While it isn't clear if the figure is injured, dead or simply knocked out cold, it is clear to everyone
that they will take no further part in the fighting. Some groups may prefer leaving “out of action”
figures on the board, marked in some suitable fashion, or replace them with a suitable casualty
figure.
Others just remove them from the board.
What is happening here?

Essentially any attack has a 1 in 3 chance of inflicting some sort of long lasting effect on the target
at which you are firing. This means that a single figure slugging it out with multiple opponents is
going to need help or they will be unlikely to make it. Better bring up someone to help give some
covering fire.

The Shock die:
1: Flinch
Bullets striking all around you can trip up even the most hardened soldier. If the target is in the
open, they will hit the dirt. Move the figure 1D6” towards the nearest cover. The figure is assumed
to hunker down and may not move or fire on their next turn.
Figures in cover are prevented from moving on their next turn and must fire at the nearest target if
they fire but are not otherwise affected.
6: Bail
The soldier has a rapid change of heart or the situation seems hopeless. A figure that bails is
immediately moved 12” away from the threat, and towards some form of safety. Once there,
they will hunker down. When next activated or contacted by a friendly soldier, roll a Shock die
again. They recover unless a 1 or 6 is rolled, in which case, apply the result as normal.
If a bailing figure moves within 3” of a table edge, roll the Shock die again immediately. On
another Bail result, the figure flees the battle area. On a Flinch result, if the figure is not in cover,
it likewise flees the battle area. If in cover on a 1, or rolling a 2-5, the figure recovers to a normal
state.

use your imagination and try to think of possible
explanations that may be the case. Don't overdo
it, just go with the first thing that comes to mind
and run with it. As always, if a random result
seems to be complete nonsense, don't be afraid
to just make a selection that works for everyone
involved.

mind, don't worry about this step.

A random figure gets a promotion, commendation or other act of recognition. Roll a positive morale die. If the
figures motivation is Glory or Ambition, roll a second positive morale die.
37-39 Delay
Hurry up and wait. An additional 1D6 days pass before the next mission.
40-42 Quick recovery
A random wounded soldier can cut 1D6 days from his recovery time.
43-45 Milestone reached
An important mile stone has been reached in the current campaign. This could be the capture of a given
objective or turn of the tide in the overall battle. If this event occurs a second time, the campaign comes to an
end. If you prefer basing the length of the campaign on other factors, simply treat this as a
positive morale die.
46-48 Scavenged loot
Make a roll on the Special Gear table and apply it to a mission of your choice.
49-51 Weapon broken
Determine a random figure armed with something other than a rifle. The weapon has broken or become
defective and the figure must use a rifle.
60

52-54 Weapon acquired

Replace one figures weapon with another weapon of your choice.
55-57 Reassigned
A random soldier is reassigned to another unit, sent home to aid in propaganda tasks or otherwise removed
from the campaign. Wish him the best and roll a positive morale die.
58-61 Leave
A random soldier is given leave. He'll be gone for 3D6 days before returning. Roll a D6. On a 1 or 6, while
gone from the front, his motivation has changed. If so, roll randomly for the new motivation.
62-65 R&R
The whole group gets some well deserved R&R. Roll a positive morale die. R&R lasts 1D6 days and is added
to the normal time between missions. Generate an additional event while the group is kicking back and
enjoying life.
66-68 Bottle of booze
69-71 Sickness
A random soldier gets sick. The sickness will last 1D6 days and the soldier is unable to fight until recovered.
72-75 Accident
A random soldier gets in an accident. Roll a D6. On a 1, he escapes unharmed and rolls a positive morale die.
On a 2-5, he is incapacitated that many days. On a 6, roll a negative morale die and the soldier must roll on
the Injury table as if he had gone out of action during a mission.
76-78 Intense fighting
The battles have been particularly fierce. The mission receives no recovery time and must undertake a second
military mission immediately. Roll a negative morale die but if the next mission is won, roll two positive
morale dice.
79-81 Meet a girl
A random figure meets a local girl. Roll a positive morale die. After each mission, roll a D6. On a 1 or 6, she
breaks it off. Roll a negative morale die.
While in love, the figure counts as having the Brave skill.
82-85 Argument
Randomly select two soldiers. They get into a personal dispute. While bickering is normal, on occasion this
becomes a problem. Roll 1D6. On a 1, the argument turns into a fistfight. Resolve a Brawl between the two
figures with the loser requiring 1 day of recovery.
On a 6, the argument affects the unit. Roll a negative morale die.
86-89 No break
No time passes in the campaign before the next mission is assigned. All post mission steps are carried out as
normal but the calendar is not advanced D6 days.
90-92 War effort
An important victory for your side, somewhere else in the war. Roll a positive morale die.
93-95 War struggle
The battalion has suffered set backs. Roll a negative morale die. Add an additional enemy figure during any
missions, until you've won two.
96-100 Better use of talent
Generate a random skill. At your discretion, you may replace an existing skill on one figure with the newly
generated skill. If no figures in the group currently have skills, simply add the skill to a figure of your choice.

PLAYER ACTIONS:
After every mission, once all other events have Whether it is picking up another soldier,
been resolved, the player may attempt any one acquiring a replacement weapon or anything else
change that is mutually agreed upon. the player can think of, it is handled essentially
by the Task system. Roll a D6, with the action
succeeding on a 2-5.
1: Delay
The action does not succeed but is rolled for again after the next mission.
6: Didn't expect that
The action does not succeed but an additional random event triggers instead.
Players have wide discretion on what can be done with a player action, but suitable examples
include:
• Raise morale by 1 (if negative currently)

• Roll a positive morale die (if 0 or positive currently)
• Add one figure with a basic rifle and no skills.
• Acquire a replacement weapon of choice.
• Reduce the injury recovery time of one figure by 1D6 days.
• Meet a new character.
• Roll again for a figures motivation.
• Roll for an additional Specialist Gear item.
• Add a random skill to a figure.
