The campaign is ordered through a
series of campaign phases. Each player
acts simultaneously during these phases
in the order outlined below. This order
attempts to bring a manageable order to
the tumult and chaos that a campaign
represents.
During a campaign phase each player
gets the opportunity to take part in the
planning phase, movement phase and
finally the resolution phase. Once each
player has finished the resolution phase
then the campaign phase is considered
complete. After this any battles that
need to be resolved are played and any
affect they have on the campaign is
recorded and resolved. Then a new
campaign phase begins.
Campaign Set Up
As we are playing a narrative campaign
it is important to understand how the
campaign should unfold beforehand.
We are using a map to organize the
campaign. The map will be small to
limit the amount of movement that each
player will have to do to initiate a fight.
Victory
There are three victory condition open
to each player. These are decided in
secret and are only revealed when one
player has completed theirs or the
defined number of turns has been
completed.
If the number of turns runs out and
none of the primary conditions have
been achieved then victory will be
determined by secondary victory
conditions outlined later.
Primary Victory Conditions
I. Take Territory
Three territories on the map are
noted with the TT reference.
One of these will be located in
the players beginning territory.
When selecting this as a Primary
Victory Condition the player
must select one of the territories
outside of their beginning
territory as the target of their
victory. If at the end of any
campaign phase they control this
territory then they are considered
to have won the campaign.
II. Breakthrough
Three territories on the map are
noted with the BK reference.
One of these will be located
within the players beginning
territory. When selecting this as
a Primary Victory Condition the
player must select one of the
territories outside of their
beginning territory to be their
breakthrough point. If they are
able to move an army into this
territory and subsequently move
it off the edge of the map then
they are considered to have won
the campaign.
III. Hold Territory
Three territories on the map are
noted with the HT reference.
One of these is located in each of
the players territories. If a player
who selected this as their
Primary Victory Condition holds
all three of these territories at the
start of a campaign phase then

The Campaign Turn
Victory Condition.
A campaign consists of eight turns.
Players may choose to extend or
shorten this prior to the beginning of
the campaign.
Each campaign turn consists of five
phases that are conducted in the
following order:
I. The Strategy Phase
II. The Army Movement Phase
III. The Battle Phase
IV. End Phase
V. Result Phase
The Strategy Phase
The strategy phase is the first phase of a
campaign turn. The strategy phase is
ordered into the following sub-phases:
I. Victory Determination
II. Army Reinforcement
III. Army Planning
IV. Strategy and Tactics Planning
Victory Determination
At this point any player who has
achieved their Primary Victory
Condition must declare so. Once this
has been verified then that player is the
Victor.
Army Reinforcement
Armies can be reinforced during the
Planning phase. A single army on the
players side may be reinforced with up
to ten power. An army is only eligible
for reinforcement if it fought a battle
during the previous campaign phase.
Any power added to an army is
removed from the players pool of
available power. An army that has been
reinforced may only take the hold
option in the Army Planning Phase. A
player using this option should record it
in secret and only reveal that they have
selected this option when they also
reveal what movement the army is
making.
Army Planning
Each player in secret records where
each of their armies will move to and
how they move. Each army and
territory on the map should be named or
numbered so that they can be easily
identified.
The movement option selected also
determines the attack/defence abilities
open to that army when it comes to
select one in the battle phase.
The following four movement options
are available to each army:
I. Hold
The army remains in position
and fortifies the area against
attack. The army does not move.
II. Patrol
The army moves slowly with
scouts and patrols covering its
movement. It is the most
cautious way to move but it
protects best against enemy
forces. The army may move into
an adjacent territory.
III. Advance
This represents the standard
movement of an army. Scouts
and patrols are still used but to a
lesser degree enabling the army
to make quick time but leaving
 them more vulnerable to attacks.
The army may move into an
adjacent territory.
IV. Rapid Advance
This represents a desperate
headlong movement. Whether to
escape a foe or to pin one in
place this is best used with
caution as it leaves the army in a
precarious state unable to predict
the movement of any enemies in
the area. The army may move
through an adjacent territory into
another.
Strategy and Tactics Planning
Each player will have a hand of three
strategy and tactics card drawn from the
appropriate deck at the start of the turn.
Each card contains the information on it
that informs the player how the card
may be used. Only one strategy and one
tactic card may be played in each
campaign phase.
At the start of the campaign phase a
player may discard up to one card,
either strategy or tactics, and draw up to
three cards. A player may never hold
more than five cards after drawing
cards.
Most strategy cards are played at this
stage of the campaign phase though
they are often not revealed until later.
Tactics cards are used during battle
only and a player may play any card at
any appropriate time.
The Army Movement Phase
The army movement phase is the
second phase of the campaign turn. It is
ordered into the following sub-phases:
I. Reveal
II. Move
III. Resolve
Reveal
At this point each player reveals the
plans made for each armies movement
as was recorded in the previous phase.
Players should do this simultaneously
for each of their armies.
Players the reinforced an army also
reveal that fact at this point.
Move
Each player takes it in turn to move a
single army. The distance is determined
by what option was selected and
recorded.
An army may not move into a territory
occupied by an enemy army. If their
movement would take them through an
opposing army they must stop and
remain where they are. If the army that
stopped had a Patrol order they may
immediately convert that order into a
Hold order.
Two friendly armies may temporarily
occupy the same territory during this
sub-phase.
Resolve
After all armies have had a chance to
move it is time to resolve any effects.
If two friendly armies are currently in Patrol: Reinforce, Reconnoitre
the same territory they have two or Advance
options, to amalgamate or fall back. Advance: Reinforce,
Reconnoitre, Advance or Flank.
If two armies amalgamate add their

75 is wasted. Then remove the second
army marker. This newly formed army
may only take the reinforce option in
the following battle phase.

If the decision is made to fall back then

one army may immediately move
through an adjacent territory into
another ignoring the presence of an
enemy army in the first territory they
pass through. They also lose d6x5
power as they move permanently. They
may only take the flank option in the
following battle phase.

The Battle Phase

The battle phase is ordered into three

sub-phases:

I. Attack/Defence
II. Battles
III. Results

Attack/Defence Phase

During this phase each army that is

adjacent to an enemy army must decide
a strategy to conduct the battle. Each
player determines and records the
strategy of each army in secret and then
revels these simultaneously at the end
of the phase.

The movement conducted by each army

determines what strategy they may
choose for the upcoming battle.
