Wargame Rules

The wargame is a battle between two military forces. The players take turns moving their units and making attacks as described in the rules. The wargame is divided into phases called the Sequence of Play. During the movement phase, units are selected to reinfore and move. During the combat phase, units are selected to attack, resolve combat, retreat and advance. Each side has critical industries and resources to supply units to maintain their movement and combat status. And the end of the play, victory is determined by Victory Points. Victory Points are awarded for objectives such as the number of enemy defeated or captured. Victory Points are also awarded for ground held or destroyed.

Movement Rules

Each unit has a Movement Allowance that represents the distance in hexes it can move in each eligible Movement Phase, subject to Weather and Terrain Effects.

• Move amounts determine the unit's movement rate. The terrain effects are summarized on the Terrain Effects Chart (TEC). Units expend movement points to enter or cross terrain.
• Enemy: Rules state if units can enter into a hex containing an enemy unit.
• Stacking: Rules state how many units can be in a hex.
• Zone of Control: Each unit has a Zone of Control that consists of the six hexes surrounding it. Enemy Zones of Control have important effects on movement, combat, and replacements.
• Reinforcements: Rules state when units can enter the battlefield.
• Weather: Night, rain, snow

Combat Rules

In each Combat Phase, all friendly units may attack enemy units. The Combat Strengths are totaled and compared. The terrain effects are summarized on the Terrain Effects Chart (TEC). After the Terrain Effects are calculated, a die is rolled. The combat results are determined by consulting the Combat Results Table.
