THE HULESTURN SEQUENCE

The game is split up into a number of GAME TURNS, each of ryhich is split doun into truoPLAYER TURNS. Each game turn should follory this sequence:-

Player Ars First Movement Phase -

The player may move any or all of his figures as outl-lned in the movement rules.Fire Phase

Both players may fire ruith any elligable figures - see firing ruLes. Firing is treatedas simuftaneous so easualties are not removed until the very end of the fiie phase.Player Ars Second Movement Phase

The player may again move uith any or all of his figures - even if they have alreadymoved during the first movement phase.

Player Ars Close Combat Phase

Player A_may attempt to mover_fire or engage in close combat lrith any figures elligable,as detaiLed in the Combat Ru1es.

Player Brs Player Turn nov follorus and should follou, the same sequence as Ars above.The game turn is then completed, go on to the next Game Turn and player Ats player Turn.

Aircraft may freely change height bands in any move phase they are airboufne.

Note on Flying VehicLes

The best vay to simulate aircraft fliqht is to buy some of the tQT Models' uire Lndperspex stands. Using a Imm. bit, drill a hole into the aircraft - it can be stobd onthe stand vhen ih flight, taken off ruhen landed.If you canrt run to different siezed stands then height markers can be used.

JUMP PACKS

Like normal movement, a jumpack move can be made in either or both of the player,s move-ment phases. A single jump may be up to the distance given on the follouing chart:-

Troops may jump over obstacLes. The jump follorus a smooth trajectory - the figure is halfas high as the jump is long at the jumprs mid-point, a quarter as high one or three quar-ters of the ruay along and so on. So if a figure makes a 20cm. jump he can clear a building10cm. high if it is at the jump's mid-point.

Jump Limitations and Risks

Troops may not jump out of or into uoods. They may not jump into or out of buildings orvehicles - other than speeially adapted Seythe Jetcopters. Provided that the Jetcopteris hoverlng troops may jump out - they make a jump of the normal length and land on theground.

If troops jump someuhere they canrt see at the beginning of the movement P\ase (forexample, if they jump over a ruood) there is a risk of accidents. For eabh f,igure jumpingthrov 2 D6, and consuLt the folloruing chart:-CHART M4: Jump Risks

If the score is equal to or more than the accident score then that figure has broken hisneck or something and is removed from play.

TELEPORT BAYS

Each bay can beam up to 5 figures or a light vehicle in each move phase. Beaming doun

is very precise and troops are placed anyvhere on the table the player pleases - he may

choose the inside of a building etc.

Nov proceed to Chart Fl and findihe section for the ueapon being fired.Read across the chart to the first columntuhich gives the ammunition,/breakdounnumber for the ueaPon. If the totalscore is equal to, or louer than thisnumber then the ueapon has either maI-functioned or run out of amrnuniti-on -see ammunition-breakdorvn rules.

If the score is higher, measure the rangeand read across on the chart to theappropriate range band, this gives theHIT NUMBER. Go the Chart F2 and see ifany of the factors listed apply. If theydo then add or subtract the number shoun.If your total score is nov equal to orgreater than the hit number then yourshot has hit the target, if it is lessthen you've missed.

If you have ecored a hit fihd the ueapon'sIMPACT TYPE urhich is given in the secondto last column on Chart FI. Noru go to seetionFl and find the IMPACT TABLE for this veapontype.. RolI a. further D6 and read across onthis number until you come to your targetsarmour type - this gives you the result ofthe shot.

Vehicle fixed mounts are treated in the same uay as bike cannon. Turrets and robot ureaponpods have complete J50o traverse. /

WEAPON USE

Figures may fire only one ueapon in any given fire phase. Exceptions are:-

HeroesMultipJ.e ueapon packs on PA or DN troops.

(Several ureapons are strapped to the same arms- you can fire alL on any one arm)laleapon pods on vehicles- a1l the vehicles ueapons may fire.

Hand Flamers - a ueapon that doesntt really need aiming so canbe fire vrong handedly.Bike cannon - simple fire stud on handLebar grip, so rider mayfire both the cannon and his orun pistol

In all cases throv to hit for each lreapon separately.

T argets

Normally all the ueapons a vehicle or figure fires must be aimed at the same target.Exceptions are:-

HeroesHand FlamersRobot VJeapon Pods - self training so each may fire independentlyBike Cannon ruith computer control uni.t - again self targeting sorider may fire seperately.

[,,Jeapon DepLoyment

Machine guns must be deployed before being used. Support Autorangers ruith veaponscarried by Iiqht infantry or armoured infantry must be deployed to give their hit bonus.

Deployment takes an entire move phase, use the counters provided.

It takes no time at all to pick up and move a deployed ueapon but it then must be deployedagain.

SNIPERS RULE AND FOLLObJ ON FIRE

These rules only apply to Snipers, Machine Guns and Laser Cannon.

At ranges over 45cm. if any of these ueapon types score. a hit on any target they are saidio be ion targetr - this means that the gunner has got the range and direction dead on.

Jnce gn-Target the gunner may no!, sruitch to other targets. Any.such target must be ruithin5em. of the first. io hit this second target the gunner doesnrt fire in the normal uay

:ut just throus a D6. If the seore is a 5 he has hit and can throru again for effect. Ifne hlts this second target he may nou select a lrd. target uhich must be ruithin 5cm. oft,he secbnd. To hit this he needs to throu a 5 or 5 on a D6. If he hits he throus foreffect . He nou may select a 4th. and final target. This final_target must again be uithin5cm. of the previous target and to hit he needs to throu a 4, 5 or 6 on a D6.

:xample

The gunner fires in the normal rlay andscores a hit on target A. "Greattt, he gruntstI'I'm on-target". He canrt select tarqet D

as his 2nd. target as itrs too far from A

so he goes instead for target B. He throus:he D6 and gets a 6. He throrvs for effectand mutters t'0.K., still on-target". He

selects C as his 3rd. target and throrvs the)6 needing a 5 or 5 to hit and staY on-target. He throrus a l. "Damn" he exclaims,he is not happy as he has missed and istherefore no longer on-target and canrthave a go at D.

/\\c

lemember that the effect of a shot has no bearing on the on-target rule - all that mattersis ruhether you hit or not.

Any fiqures on the table ruho are equiped ruith a designator may designate any target thatthey are in a position to fire on. The figure may then caL-I dovn as many moiu-Les-as areavailable.

If the score obtained is a 5 or 5 thln treat thetarget as hit by the advanced grenade of your choice.Designation take place in the fire phase and does not expose the designator for firingpurposes.

0n1y one request may be made on each module per fire phase.

EEUEFTTroops vho are in cover are C0NCEALED and can not be flred at unless they EXP0SE them-selves by firing or are picked up by life sensors.

Exposed Troops

Before each fire phase both players, in secret, rurite doun uhich of their concealed unitsare going to fire. Such troops get a special FIRST SH0T. This means that vhen they fire,the casualtise they cause are-removed from play immediately and thus have no chance ofreturning fire.0nce all 'first shotsr have been dealt uith the fire phase goes on asnormal.

The troops in cover vho have fired are nou exposed and can be fired on by any enemy.this fire does not give your position auay permanantly - if you choose not to fire inthe next fire phase you are again concealed and can not be fired at.

,v;'t

Life Sensors

Various sorts of life sensors, including infra-red and ultra violet sights, are fittedto most lreapons as standard. These a1loru you to see through cover and thus alloru fire onconcealed targets.Regardless of uhether or not they fired, concealed troops can be fi.red at ruithin theranges given belov:-

woods are a special case - in no circumstances at all may you fire through a uood furtherthan 5cm. at an infanlry tarqet or 20cm. at a vehicle target or building' So, -for example,

Example of Cover Rules

FEREESHIELES !

Forcesshields are devices giving limited protection to their uearer or the 'dhi"t" to

urhich they are fitted. Turning them on or off is an action and takes an entipe stationary,o,ru pn""lr, or in the ease of a vehicle ereuman he may not fire a ureaPon in that turn'

When shields are sruitched on slip a circLe of card under the figure/vehicle. The card

should be coloured as follotYs:-

1 - Can fire2 - Can onlY fire if target exPoses

itself by firing.J - Cantt fire in anY circumstances

THE MORRLE TESTAt the beginning of each lrargame uork out your armies Morale Strength Value by adding:_

1 point for each light or heavy infantry man2 points for each pA infantryman3 points for each DN infantrymanJ poinfs for each Motorcycle.5 points for each vehicle.5 points for each Hero and 1eader.

The keep a record of total losse's usingthe same points scheduLe. The moment.l.oses come to a haLf of the oriinal totalthe armyrs morale is said to be rshakenr.

A shaken army must take a morale check atthe end of each rounr player turn. To dothie throv 2xD5 and add the scores together.If the result is 7 or more the army iibroken anC in a broken army all the troooshave to retreat at full rate in at least'f Tgy".phase per player turn, except thoserallied by leaders.

Before the game commences the Gamemaster rray add points to an armies.Morale strengthvaLue for positions held such as bridges, passes etc. These are added to the "co"J-norm"rryand treated as lost uhen.captured by [he'enemy;: if captured back they stop being treatedas lost' rn this ruay it is possibre'for an army to become shaken as a result of loosingsome position but stop being shaken by recapturing it.

.E

Note that-an army that.has broken it's opponents has a morale boost and needs t6 suffer60"'6 casuarties before it is shaken, and needs to throur a 9 to be broken instead.of a 7.Example

Ars army suffer's 50,'6 easualties and is shaken. A throvs but passes the morale errect<. InBrs player turn Bis army reaches 51,'6 casublties and is nou siraken. B also survives themorale check' A in his player turn suffers and causes no more casual.ties..stirl shakenhe throus for morale and fails the check. He is nou broken. His leaders manage to ralJ-y afeu figures but the rest ruitl have to start retreating in Ars next pJ.ayer turn.B has broken therefore A's army gets the morale boost and is no longer shaken, he remainshalted' A's leaders nou launch i desperate counter attack and manage to get B's casualtiesup to 51,"6'.8 in his plalgr.turn hoLds'his position but is shaken and so must take a morale;1":l;",;"ll:::" " r0 ruhich is more rhan e ("ucri".J-i"-[""li"r'irl,ni"r., means-i,i"-""*y

The outcome of this encounter is nov up to the leaders and the troops they have managedto rally.

LEREERSHIPIn an army some fiqures are deemed to be rLeader,st. Each rleader, is represented by a fiqurel costing an extra 3 points for the leadership factor (see the army rists.for exampreJof unit commanders uith leadership values).The moment-an army breaks (as detailed above) the Leaders may ralry troops around them.For every leader figune throu a D5. This is the number or trlops he has rarlyed and staytuith him' For instance, if a 4 vere throun then 4 men (of ihe'ieaders choice) urould beral]ied, and therefore do not have to retreat ruith the rest of the army. rn""" r"ili"ofiqures ruill houever break if the leader fJ.gure is killed.Typically ruithin Imperiar units arreaderr figure vill be in control of three units eachof five men. some command units might contain three high
