Setup
- Choose a Scenario (objective type, deployment map, victory condition).
- Build Armies using points or a scenario list.
- Deploy Units in your deployment zones.
- Assign Command Points (CP): each army starts with 3 CP plus any commander bonuses.
- Roll Initiative: each side rolls 1d6 + commander rating. High roll chooses first or second.
Deployment Styles
- Line Deployment: equal distance from center line.
- Flank Deployment: one side holds reserves off‑board.
- Assault Deployment: attacker starts closer but lower CP.
Fog of War (Optional)
Hidden units are placed face‑down and revealed when within 2 hexes/6 inches or if they attack.
