Shattered Sword: Fantasy Miniatures Battle Rules

Shattered Sword Fantasy Miniatures Battle Rules is a Fantasy warfare rules set designed for two or more players. Command your forces by maneuvering your combat units and wield magical blows to your opponent with your Wizards. The game is designed to emphasize playability, while at the same time implementing a system that recreates the friction and uncertainty of Command on the battlefield.

Players may create their army in any manner they choose. Each unit has a point value based upon many factors. These are found in the Army Guide at the end of the rules. There are 8 Races in the Army Guide, each which contains 11 different types of units, as well as a Bestiary for each Race. Each Race has an Alignment with every other Race; players have to be careful, though, as certain Alignments can go wrong in the heat of battle with disastrous results.

The game can be played with any scale miniatures. There is no need to rebase your figures, as any basing system will work. Units are placed on the battlefield according to a deployment system based upon the Recon value of your units. A number of results are possible, and can affect the outcome of a battle. Once deployed, the players are ready for battle!

The game turn is made up of the Command Segment and the Player Turn Segment. In the Command Segment, players will determine Initiative and the number of Control Points, Command Cards and Spell Cards that each player will get that turn. In the Player Turn Segment, players move, shoot and fight with their units using six sided dice. Command and Spell Cards, which can greatly affect the outcome of the battle, can be used anytime during this segment. Victory is determined when one side reaches its breaking point.
