may be used against any other viable target.

Quick Reference Updated 17/02/2021
TURN SEQUENCE: p09
1. Each phase is considered simultaneous (except Movement).
2. Mark all casualties with Blood or Raven Tokens, and resolve at
End of Turn.
1. INITIATIVE: p09
Each player rolls D6 (re-roll ties). Subtract current number of
heroes/ leaders in your warband. Player with lowest total goes
first or nominates who goes first for Movement. Both Missile
and Melee actions remain simultaneous. Play proceeds
clockwise.
2. RALLY: p09
2.1 A figure who previously failed a morale roll and is marked
with a Coward Token must try to rally by rolling their
Morale rating or less (without Morale help from
Leaders/Heroes).
2.2 If passed, the figure immediately acts as normal.
2.3 If failed, remove the figure from play.
3. MOVEMENT: p10
3.1 Starting with player who has initiative, each player moves
all their figures.
3.2 Figures may move up to their Move rate in inches.
3.3 Moving a figure into base-to-base contact with an enemy,
locks both figures into melee and they each forfeit any
remaining movement for that turn.
Terrain: p10
1. “Rough” terrain costs double the movement distance
(eg. Dense Woods, Rocky Ground, Creeks, Steep Hills).
2. “Obstacles” cost 2” of movement,
(eg. Low walls, Fences, Thick hedgerows, Doorways, Windows )
Facing: p10
1. Figure may attack targets forward of their rear base edge.
2. May not attack enemies to the rear.
4. MISSILE: p11
4.1 May not shoot if moved over half of movement, or engaged
in melee.
4.2 May not shoot into melee, containing friendlies.
4.3 May not target enemy leader or hero unless they are closest.
4.4 To hit with a ranged weapon, the shooter must roll a D6
equal or lower than their Missile rating. The target ignores
the wound by rolling their Armor rating or less.
Cover: p11
1. Enemies more than 2” into woods or inside buildings cannot
be targeted.
2. For each piece of cover between shooter and target (ie walls,
fences, etc), shot is deflected on D6 roll of 4+, unless shooter
is firing over wall/fence that is in base-to-base contact, then
no penalty (LWTV).
5. MELEE: p12 + FB forum
5.1 Figs in base-to-base contact with enemy, may melee or disengage.
5.2 If a figure has multiple attackers in base-to-base contact, that
fig. may decide which enemy to face (except when in Shield Wall).
5.3 A figure may attempt to disengage from melee up to half their
Move rating directly away, but every enemy in contact gets
one Free Attack.
5.3.1 Figure may not disengage if being attacked to front and rear.
Melee Modifiers (removed from figures stat): p12
1. -1 if attacking across obstacles or uphill
2. -1 to Armor rating if attacked from the rear
3. -1 if engaged by more than one enemy
(except when in Shield Wall)
5.4 In melee, a figure must use at least one attack against an
5.5 A figure rolls a D6 for each attack. Any roll equal to or lower
than their Melee rating inflicts a hit.
5.5.1 The target rolls their Armor rating or lower to ignore the hit.
Death Worthy of a Song: p12
1. If a figure hits with a D6 roll of “1” and the enemy rolls a “6”
for their Armor rating, the figure rolls a second, Free Attack.
2. A successful second hit inflicts a spectacular wound, marked
with a Raven Token (though not killed, if wounds remain FB
forum).
Free Attacks: p12
1. Roll to hit as normal, but the enemy does not roll for their
Armor rating.
2. Successful Free Attacks are automatic wounds!
Shield Walls: p13
1. Requires at least three figures, with shields, facing the
same direction, not currently in melee, in base-to-base contact.
2. Move at half their Move rate, straight ahead or a quarter move
back (no turns or wheels), and never over obstacles.
3. May reverse wall facing of 180°, using all movement.
4. All figures in a Shield Wall receive +2 to their Armour rating
(max of 5, and no bonus when attacked from rear).
5. Figures in rear rank may automatically replace wounded in
front rank (not considered movement).
6. Figures armed with spears may fight from the second rank
(must be in base-to-base contact directly behind front rank)
directly to their front, through friendly figure.
7. Wall breaks when reduced to less than three base-to-base figs.
8. May voluntarily dissolve Shield Wall at beginning of Movement,
though figs cannot join another Shield Wall in same turn.
6. END OF TURN: p14
6.1 Casualties with Blood/Raven Tokens + all wounds gone = removed.
6.2 Figs who are required to take a morale test, roll D6, equal to
or lower than their Morale rating to pass.
6.2.1 Figs in Shield Wall, add +1 to their Morale rating.
Natural “6" always fails.
6.2.2 Leaders/Heroes may lend their own Morale rating if
within that number of inches, if having already passed.
Morale Test Events: p14
1. All figures in warband test if their Leader is killed.
2. All figures test at +50% of their warband losses.
3. Any figures within the Morale rating range of a dead Hero
from their warband.
4. Any figures within 6” of a Raven Token inflicted by the
enemy this turn.
Flee!: p15
1. Figures who fail their morale test are marked with a Coward
token, who then immediately turn directly away from nearest
enemy, fleeing their full Move rating.
2. All enemies in base-to-base contact with fleeing figure get an
immediate Free Attack!
a. Figures who flee off table are removed.
b. Figures surrounded to their front and rear are immediately
captured or killed - enemy’s choice.
ABILITIES p16
Leader (+15 points): Every army is required to have one (only one).
Leaders inspire, allowing nearby figures to use their Morale rating,
if Leader passes their morale test first.
Hero (+10 points): Add +1 Morale. Modified Morale ratings never
exceed 5 and multiple heroes do not stack cumulative bonuses.
Heroes may inspire nearby figures, allowing them to share their
Morale rating, if Hero passes their Morale test first.

when hit in melee.
Mounted: Move 14”. Never form Shield Wall. p20
