Another cycle is upon us; the Third Shadow is falling upon Erydus…
A 10mm skirmish game designed for round-bases. Each base represents ten or so warriors, three or so Ogre-sized creatures, or one gargantuan creature/war-engine. Combat is resolved using the D6, and all measurements are in inches. For standard 500-point games, a 36" x 36" table with 6" deployment zones is recommended, but players can use any size they wish.
The game uses an initiative activation system – units activate according to archetype in the following order: Heroes, Flyers, Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery, Behemoths. Starting with the player who has Advantage, players alternate activating one unit per turn, until all units of an archetype have had their turn. They then move on to the next archetype.
Activated units can take up to two actions, in any order, or in multiples of two. These actions are Move and Shoot (i.e. a unit may double Move, double Shoot, Move and Shoot or Shoot and Move).
Combat is resolved with two dice rolls (roll to-hit, roll to-wound), and melee combat is simultaneous.
The game is designed to take no more than one hour to play, with minimal bookkeeping or rulebook checking!
