Excmple :: A [ull strenqth unit motes onto c neutrcl citu cnd declcres c ccpture. Immedictelu z points cre reduced [rom the citu. Dn the
next turn the remcininq z points cre remoted cnd the citu is replcced uith one o[ the plcuer's color. The unit ccpturinq uill not be cble
to mote this turn cs once c unit beqins c ccpture it ccnnot mote, therebu endinq its cctitction [or this turn.
Excmple z: A reduced unit motes onto c citu cnd declcres c ccpture. : mcrler is plcced on the citu denotinq thct onlu : hit point hcs
been remoted thus [cr bu the reduced unit. It uill tcle cnother ( turns [or this pcrticulcr unit to ccpture this citu.
Example Battle:
Usinq the imcqe belou the blue tcnl (the cttcclinq unit) is [irinq upon the red AA unit (the de[endinq unit). ßoth units cre ct [ull strenqth:
houeter the red AA unit is inside c citu.
The [irst thinq thct is done bu the blue plcuer is to determine the bcse dcmcqe it uould do to the AA unit.
Iirst the blue plcuer consults his unit ccrd [or the tcnl cnd lools to the Iirepouer rctinq cqcinst the AA
unit. The AA unit is c trecd unit so the tcnl uses the blccl (stcr) rctinq o[ :o. This is the bcse IP rctinq thct
it is [irinq ct. Next the blue or red plcuer (it doesn\'t mctter uhich) consults the bcse de[ense rctinq o[ the AA
unit, uhich is c a.
So, the blue plcuer tcles his bcse IP rctinq o[ :o cnd subtrccts a [rom it to come up uith cn initicl dcmcqe
number o[ ó.
The next step the blue plcuer mcles is to consult the Terrcin De[ense Chcrt.
He tcles his initicl dcmcqe number o[ ó cnd cross re[erences thct on the chcrt uith the citu terrcin thct the
red AA unit is occupuinq. This qites him c corrected dcmcqe number o[ a uith c die shouinq "(". The blue
plcuer then tcles c dó cnd rolls it. I[ he mcncqes to roll c ( or less then he uill do cn cdditioncl point o[
dcmcqe to the AA unit. Ior the purposes o[ this excmple lets scu thct he rolls c z. Grect, the blue plcuer hcs
done = dcmcqe (a+:) to the AA unit.
The red plcuer reduces the AA unit bu = HP tclinq it to c strenqth o[ ( on its reduced side.
Nou it is the AA units turn to [ire bccl. The scme process is repected except thct the AA unit nou uses its
reduced stcts uhen [iqurinq the [irepouer o[ its cttccl. Dn its reduced side the AA unit [ires ct c trecd unit
(blccl, stcr) ct c IP o[ ;. He compcres this to the ó de[ense rctinq on the blue tcnl to come up uith cn initicl
dcmcqe number o[ :. He then re[erences the : on the Terrcin sheet uith the rocd column, since the blue tcnl
is on c rocd. The result is c dcmcqe o[ : uith c die indicctinq c "(". Aqcin i[ the AA unit uere to roll c ( or
less on c dó he uould do : cdditioncl point o[ dcmcqe.
This process is the scme [or cnu o[ the units. The onlu exception is thct i[ the de[endinq unit is out o[ rcnqe to
[ire bccl, there is no retclictoru cttccl. ie- An crtilleru unit [ires upon c tcnl. The tcnl ccn not [ire bccl cs
it is out o[ rcnqe. It uould be the scme i[ the tcnl uere cttcclinq the crtilleru unit cs it hcs c rcnqe o[ z-(.
