Campaign December 2003

Before we start

Each players starts with 500GC (Gold Coins) which can be spend on buying troops before we begin or be saved for later. You do not have to use all GCs but remember you can later only buy troops in the City and Warjacks in the Warjacks Workshop.

Mercenaries are not alowed from the start but can be bought later.

Battles

Victory conditions
All games are untill one warcaster is dead. If you have lost 50% of your troops you are alowed to conceed the game.

Winner gets GC worth of VP*20 + 60

Looser gets GC worth of VP*20 + D6*10

Note: You never get VP for killing Warcasters.

Warjacks
Damaged Warjacks cost the same (hey, it’s not my fault you let it get damaged). You must play with 500 point if possible. For example if both players have 500 point worth miniatures then you cannot decide to play only 300 points. Only if one player has a lower point value in miniatures can you choose to play with lower point cost.

After the resource roll is made you are alowed to retired heavily damaged Warjacks. If a Warjack has 2/3 of its boxes filled you can remove it from your sheet.

Troops and solos
Only damage on Warjacks carry over from game to game. If the damage on a multiple LIFE trooper is half or more of his life, then the model is considered dead, but does not count towards VP since he/she/it did not die during the battle but later from his/here/its wounds.

If you have lost the leader of a unit but still have troops left, one of the troops is automatically upgraded to the leader. That goes for all units with a leader type figure.

Scrap Thralls killed using Steam Burst returns for next battle.

One Mechanik can repair 1 damage box automatically at any resource location except the Ambush.
