GAME SETUP

It is important to choose a Core Force and Maximum

Fleet Value , and also to consider which Game Type

you are building a Fleet for; an Open Game , Friendly

Game or Tournament Game . Players should also

agree whether Field Orders will be used and also

the Game Length .

FLEET ORGANISATION

A Core Force can be Naval , Armoured or Aerial .

A Maximum Fleet Value ( MFV ) can be any Points

Value agreed upon by the players.

In a Friendly or Tournament Game your Fleet MUST

contain: 1 Squadron of Small models, 1 Squadron of

Medium models and 1 Squadron of Large or Massive

models from your Core Force .

TERRAIN

“Crunchy Terrain” is now deined as Dense Terrain.

In a Tournament game the following percentages

of the MFV are enforced: up to 70% on Large or

Massive models, up to 70% on Medium models, up

to 40% on Small models and up to 50% on Squadrons

that are NOT part of the Core Force .

Terrain is allocated a Surface Height relaive to the

Size Class of a model or token; Tiny, Small, Medium,

Large or Massive.

FLEET COMMODORES

Each Turn a player can have their Fleet Commodore

perform ONE of the following re-roll opions:

GAME LENGTH

Game Length should be deined as either a Fixed

number of Turns or a Time Limit .

• One Treacherous Terrain roll for a model in their

Fleet within 8” of the Fleet Commodore’s Vessel .

• One Criical Hit Table roll against an enemy

model ired on by a model in their Fleet within

8” of the Fleet Commodore’s Vessel .

• One Criical Hit Table roll against their own Fleet

Commodore’s Vessel .

• One Damage Repair roll for a model in their

Fleet within 8” of the Fleet Commodore’s Vessel .

BATTLEFIELD SETUP

Divide the Game Board into 2’ by 2’ areas. Each side

rolls 1D6 for each area. On a 5 or 6 they can place a

piece of Terrain in that area. Both sides roll for one

area before moving on to the next.

MEASUREMENT

For Naval models, turning is made from the centre

of the model on the appropriate side.

For Armoured models, Broadside and Fixed Channel

weapon measurement is taken from the base edge,

and turning is made from the front of the base on

the appropriate side. If the model is not aixed to

the supplied acrylic base, use the model itself for

measurement purposes instead.

DEPLOYMENT

Each side rolls 2D6 . The winner chooses ANY edge

of the Game Board as their Deployment Edge, the

opposing player must take the opposite edge as

their Deployment Edge. The Deployment Zone for

each side is the length of their Deployment Edge,

and extends 8” into the Game Board .

For Aerial models turning is made from the front of

the Flight Stand on the appropriate side.

The side that chose their Deployment Edge irst then

deploys one Squadron in their Deployment Zone,

the opposing side then deploys one Squadron in

their Deployment Zone. Players alternate deploying

Squadrons unil all Squadrons are fully Deployed.

All measurement from a weapon Batery is taken

from the centre of the model. A Federated States of

America Rocket Batery is treated as a Turret when

determining Line of Sight and Range .

ORDER OF PLAY

Phase 3 is renamed “Squadron Acivaion

Sequence”. The ‘Squadron Acivaion Sequence’

table gives a breakdown of all possible acions.

FIELD ORDERS

Field Orders are the Victory Condiions for a Fleet.

Immediately ater Deployment, each Fleet should

openly roll 1D6 to get their Field Order .

Phase 4 (End Phase) contains all of the following

events: Check for End of Game , perform any

Compulsory Acions , make any Damage Repair

Tests , make any Bravery Tests , raionalise Game

Markers and draw new Game Cards . Derelict or

Prize models will Drit during the End Phase.

1. Destroy or Capture at least 70% of the Maximum

Fleet Value of any opposing Fleet in Victory

Points .

2. Destroy all Large and Massive models in any

opposing Fleet.

3. Destroy or Capture at least 50% of the Maximum

Fleet Value of any opposing Fleet in Victory

Points , including all Medium models.

4. Destroy or Capture all models in any opposing

Fleet belonging to its Core Force .

5. Destroy or Capture at least 50% of the Maximum

Fleet Value of any opposing Fleet in Victory

Points , including all Small models.

6. Capture the Fleet Commodore’s Vessel of any

opposing Fleet.

COMMAND

Command Distance is measured from the CENTRE

of one model to the CENTRE of another.

There is no ‘Command Test’ for not being part of

the Commanded Element . Any models that are

NOT within Command Distance of at least one

other model in the Commanded Element are not

part of the Commanded Element , and are Out

of Command . If a model returns to being within

Command Distance of the Commanded Element at

any point it is no longer Out of Command .

The default Field Order is “ Destroy or Capture at

least 70% of the Maximum Fleet Value of any

opposing Fleet in Victory Points .”. It can A LWAYS

be chosen by a player instead of their randomly

generated Field Order . This is also used in any

game without Field Orders , or without any speciic

scenario Victory Condiions .

Models that are Out of Command CANNOT perform

ANY of the possible Firing Opions ( Linked Fire ,

Combined Fire , Split Fire or Indirect Fire ), CANNOT

have Game Cards played on them and CANNOT

iniiate a Boarding Assault.

A Fleet wins the moment it saisies its Field Order

during the game, scoring a Crushing Triumph . If

neither side wins before the end of the game the

total number of Victory Points scored by each Fleet

is used to determine who has won.

Any Break Test or Bravery Test is taken for the

WHOLE Squadron. If a Squadron is Broken , all

models in the Squadron sufer the same efects as

an Out of Command model.

TESLA GENERATOR

When a model ited with a Tesla Generator

is acivated, the controlling player can choose

to roll for it to gain +1D3” of Movement ( Mv ).

Each model in a Squadron rolls independently.

The extra movement must be rolled for

BEFORE moving the model.

ULTRASONIC PULVERISING GENERATOR

The Ultrasonic Pulverising Generator has

a 270 degree Arc of Fire, measured from

the centre of the Generator, and can target

ONE model within 8” , ater it has inished its

movement. Roll 1D6 :

• On a 2 or 3 the targeted model sufers the

efect, but NOT the Damage, of the Chaos

and Disarray Criical Hit, unil the End

Phase.

Any model that rolled for a Movement

increase from the Tesla Generator in its

Squadron Acivaion MUST move at least HALF

of their Movement , including the boost from

the Generator .

• On a 4 or 5 the targeted model sufers the

efect, but NOT the Damage, of the Chaos

and Disarray AND the Shredded Defences

Criical Hits, unil the End Phase.

If the Tesla Generator is NOT used to gain extra

Movement , it can afect ONE model within 8” ,

regardless of their Height Level , ater it has

inished its movement. Roll 1D6 :

• On a 6 the targeted model sufers the

efect, but NOT the Damage, of the Chaos

and Disarray and the Shredded Defences

Criical Hits, unil the End Phase AND the

Hard Pounding Criical Hit.

• On a 5 or 6 the model sufers the efect of a

single Criical Hit, but not the Damage, re-

rolling any results of Double 1 or Double 6 .

MOVEMENT

A model MUST move its Minimum Move DIRECTLY

ahead before performing ANY turn.

COMBAT

The classes of weapon are: Ordnance ( Gunnery ,

Rocket , Torpedo and Bomb weapons), Auxiliary

( Ack Ack and Concussion Charges ) and Mines .

A model moving Backwards can move a maximum

of 2” , and may turn while doing so.

Tesla Coils (a Gunnery weapon), Rockets , Torpedoes

and Auxiliary weapons CAN target Diving , Flying

and Obscured models in Range Band 1 where

appropriate.

A model can disengage from a Collision or Ram by

turning up to 90 degrees around its centre as its

complete move for its Squadron Acivaion.

Torpedoes can ONLY target Naval models.

If a model has NO opion but to end its move on

top of another model, base or Flight Stand, the

models involved must be readjusted unil they

are clear of each other in whichever way causes

the LEAST possible disturbance. NO model should

purposefully gain ANY immediate advantage from

this readjustment.

Medium, Large or Massive Flying models that are

Obscured are hit on a 5 or 6 .

Line of Sight between a model on the Surface and a

Flying or Obscured model can ONLY be blocked by

Obstrucing Terrain that is Large or Massive.

If a model that uses the 45 degree Turning Template

changes the side from which it measures a turn,

without making any straight line movement of at

least 1” between each turn, it is considered to be

Snaking .

Auxiliary weapons ignore models and tokens when

drawing Line of Sight, but not Obstrucing Terrain .

Combined Fire uses the same basic rules as Linked

Fire , but models using Combined Fire do not HALF

the current Atack Dice value when pooling dice.

Once a model is considered to be Snaking , it must

take a Treacherous Terrain Test EACH ime it turns.

Combined Fire is only used by Escort models with

their Parent Model when using Auxiliary weapons

or Tiny Flyers with other Tiny Flyers in their Wing.

A model on Water will Collide with Sot Terrain, a

model on Land will Collide with Dense Terrain, a

Flying or Obscured model will Collide with Dense

Terrain. A model DOES NOT have to stop moving

following a Treacherous Terrain Test due to Snaking .

Indirect Fire requires either a model with the

Spoter Model Assigned Rule , or a Tiny Flyer

Reconnaissance Plane from the same Fleet and

within 32” of the target, to provide Line of Sight.

Indirect Fire can only be made at a target in Range

Band 3 or Range Band 4 .

KINETIC GENERATOR

The Kineic Generator gives a boost in

Movement ( Mv ). When a model ited with a

Kineic Generator is acivated, the controlling

player can choose to roll for it to gain +1D6”

of Movement , which is added to its Minimum

Move. If a Squadron of models are ited

with Kineic Generators , roll for each model

independently. The extra movement from

the Kineic Generator must be rolled BEFORE

moving the model.

A Counteratack can only be made with Auxiliary

Weapons.

STAT CARDS

All Prussian Empire models with Tesla Coils have the

Redoubtable ( Tesla Coils ) Model Assigned Rule .

All Empire of the Blazing Sun Naval models have the

Sharp Turn Model Assigned Rule .

Any model that rolled for a Kineic Generator

in its Squadron Acivaion MUST move at least

HALF of their Movement , including the boost

from the Generator .

The following Kingdom of Britannia models have

an integrated Guardian Generator for NO points

diference: Ruler Class Batleship, Sovereign Class

Land Ship and Eagle Class War Rotor.

A model CANNOT use more than one Kineic

Generator in any single Acivaion.

TINY FLYERS

Each Tiny Flyer Squadron forms a Wing when

Deployed. Each Tiny Flyer in a Wing MUST remain in

contact with at least one other Tiny Flyer from the

same Wing at ALL imes.

REFUEL AND REARM TINY FLYERS

Each ime a Tiny Flyer Wing is Deployed, either at

the start of the game or when they Launch , it has 6

Fuel available and is fully Armed with any relevant

Ordnance .

All Fuel loss is now managed on a Wing basis, rather

than per Tiny Flyer.

A Tiny Flyer Wing only declares the type and

number of Tiny Flyer they contain, when created

and Deployed. A Tiny Flyer Wing MUST contain only

one type of Tiny Flyer.

An Abort result against a Wing requires the total

number of hits that did NOT Destroy a Tiny Flyer in

the Wing to equal or exceed the remaining number

of Tiny Flyers let in the Wing.

When created, a Fighter Plane, Dive Bomber or

Torpedo Bomber Wing MUST contain between 3

and 5 Tiny Flyers and a Reconnaissance Plane Wing

MUST contain only 1 Tiny Flyer.

If ANY Wing makes ANY Atack using its Ordnance

weapons it MUST Land on a Carrier model to be

Armed again.

Movement and the removal of Destroyed Tiny Flyers

MUST relect the requirement to maintain a valid

Wing Formaion at ALL imes.

COMBAT AIR PATROL SQUADRONS

A single Tiny Flyer Fighter Plane Wing may be

atached to a single Large or Massive Class non-

Diving Parent Model within 4” .

LOCAL AIR SUPPORT

Each Fleet may contain TWO Tiny Flyer Wings

for NO extra Points Cost. A maximum of one

Reconnaissance Plane Wing can be selected.

Important Note: A Tiny Flyer Wing that leaves the

Game Board , for any reason, is Lost and cannot

return.

LANDING TINY FLYERS

At the end of their Squadron Acivaion, a Tiny Flyer

Wing within 4” of ANY Carrier model from the same

Fleet may Land on that Carrier model and Launch as

part of a new Wing, as required.

GUARDIAN GENERATOR

A Guardian Generator grants the model to

which it is ited ALL of the efects of a single

Shield Generator .

The Guardian Generator also grants ALL

nearby Friendly models WITHOUT a Shield

Generator a limited amount of protecion.

Roll 1d6 Shield dice for any model, without

a Shield Generator , that is hit with an Atack

while within 8” of the centre of the vessel

ited with the Guardian Generator :

The maximum number of Tiny Flyers on a Carrier

model CANNOT exceed its designated complement

of Tiny Flyers. Any excess in a Wing that atempts to

Land on a Carrier model are Destroyed .

LAUNCHING TINY FLYERS

A Carrier model may Launch ONE Tiny Flyer Wing

before performing ANY movement. The Tiny Flyer

Wing is Deployed within 4” of the Carrier model and

CANNOT be Acivated in the same Turn that they

Launch .

• A 4 , 5 or 6 is required to succeed

against Gunnery Atacks , Ack Ack

and Concussion Charges .

• A 5 or 6 is required to succeed

against Rockets and Torpedoes .

A Carrier model CANNOT use any Generator or any

Gunnery , Rocket or Ack Ack weapons during the

Combat Segment if it performs a Launch acion in its

Squadron Acivaion.

A model can only gain the efect of ONE

Guardian Generator at any one ime.
