Bienvenido a WarCry, el juego de cartas coleccionables de batallas fantsticas. En este folleto tienes todo lo necesario para aprender a jugar, y si no entiendes alguna palabra, consulta el glosario.

Objetivo del juegoWarCry se juega en tres turnos, que reciben el nombre de Batalla. Durante cada Batalla, los ejrcitos libran varios Combates para decidir quin vence dicha Batalla. El objetivo del juego es ser el primer jugador en ganar dos Batallas.

Los EjrcitosEn WarCry, dos ejrcitos luchan por el control del Viejo Mundo. La Gran Alianza es un ejrcito del Bien, compuesto de humanos del Imperio, Altos Elfos y Enanos. Las Hordas de las Tinieblas forman un ejrcito del Mal que se compone de miembros del Caos, de Elfos Oscuros y de los verdosos Orcos. Algunas fuerzas no se han comprometido con ninguno de los dos bandos. Son Neutrales, y luchan del lado del Bien o del Mal.

Las cartasWarCry es un juego de cartas coleccionables. Se puede jugar a l nicamente con las cartas de un mazo, aunque tal vez quieras comprar sobres para mejorar el ejrcito. Cada tipo de ejrcito tiene un aspecto caracterstico. Las cartas del Bien cuentan con un borde marmreo azul claro. Las cartas del Mal cuentan con un borde negruzco con huesos y llamas. Las cartas Neutrales tienen un borde verde, con enredaderas.

Voladores: Un guerrero montado sobre una criatura voladora. Los Voladores pueden atacar a cualquier Unidad enemiga, desde cualquier Lnea. Pueden bloquear a la Infantera y a la Caballera, y normalmente no pueden ser bloqueados.

TiradasCada vez que sea necesaria una Tirada, da la vuelta a la primera carta de tu Mazo de Accin y utiliza el nmero del icono del dado que hay en la esquina inferior izquierda.

PruebasEn WarCry hay varios tipos de pruebas, como por ejemplo las Pruebas de Liderazgo y las Pruebas de Fuerza. Cuando sea necesaria una prueba, el jugador que la realiza debe efectuar una Tirada y comparar el resultado con el Valor que tiene que sacar. Si el resultado de la Tirada es menor o igual que el Valor necesario, se supera la Prueba.

Terror: Algunas Unidades son tan horrendas que las tropas que se enfrentan a ellas son ms propensas a Desbandarse o a fallar Pruebas de Liderazgo. El Terror de una Unidad se utiliza en Combate. Antes de que se juegue la primera Tctica, se resta el Terror al Liderazgo de la Unidad rival. El Terror es acumulativo, con lo que una unidad con Terror se puede volver ms temible an con cartas de Accin. Las Unidades con Terror no se ven afectadas por el Terror de otra Unidad.

Decreto del ReySi el texto de una carta contradice una regla, sigue el texto de la carta.

Y ahora, vamos a ver cmo se juega!

Fases de la partida

En una partida nicamente hay tres pasos:

1 Diseo del mazo y preparacin. Tienes que disear un mazo con las cartas que hayas coleccionado, encontrar a un rival y despus prepararte y jugar.

2 Fase de Movilizacin. Un par de pasos sencillos para desplegar tu ejrcito inicial sobre la mesa.

3 Fase de Batalla. Despus de robar las cartas de accin, llega la hora de combatir. El jugador que venza en dos batallas, gana la partida. La Fase de Batalla cuenta con varios pasos, que se explican a continuacin.

Echemos un vistazo a cada uno de los apartados.

Diseo del mazo y preparacinDiseo del mazo: En primer lugar, decide si quieres jugar con el bando del Bien o del Mal. A continuacin, prepara un Mazo de Ejrcito y un Mazo de Accin, utilizando nicamente las cartas del bando elegido y las cartas Neutrales que quieras (las cartas Neutrales pueden usarse en mazos del Bien o del Mal). Cada mazo debe contar con 30 cartas como mnimo, y no puedes utilizar ms de 3 copias de cada carta. Si alguno de los mazos se queda sin cartas durante el juego, baraja el montn de los descartes y reutilzalo.

Mazo del Ejrcito: El Mazo del Ejrcito se compone de Unidades y Accesorios, y se usa durante la Fase de Movilizacin para formar el ejrcito. En el dorso de una carta de Ejrcito hay un martillo y un escudo dorados.

Mazo de Accin: El Mazo de Accin se compone de cartas de Accin, y se usa durante la Fase de Batalla para vencer al rival. En el dorso de una carta de Accin hay un martillo y un escudo plateados.

Mazo del Ejrcito: El Mazo del Ejrcito se compone de Unidades y Accesorios, y se usa durante la Fase de Movilizacin para formar el ejrcito. En el dorso de una carta de Ejrcito hay un martillo y un escudo dorados.

Mazo de Accin: El Mazo de Accin se compone de cartas de Accin, y se usa durante la Fase de Batalla para vencer al rival. En el dorso de una carta de Accin hay un martillo y un escudo plateados.

Fase de MovilizacinPara ver quin acta en primer lugar, haced una tirada. La persona que obtenga el mejor resultado decide quin despliega en primer lugar. Si se produce un empate, volved a tirar. En las Batallas posteriores, el vencido de la batalla anterior decide quin despliega primero.

Desplegar el Ejrcito. En primer lugar, roba 5 cartas de tu Mazo del Ejrcito. Los jugadores van, por turnos, haciendo una de estas tres cosas:

Pagar el coste de una carta de Unidad y ponerla en juego boca arriba en la Lnea de Batalla (frente) o la Lnea de Reserva (retaguardia); despus, se roba una carta del mazo de Ejrcito.

Pagar el coste y acoplar una carta de Accesorio boca arriba a una carta de Unidad que ya est en juego; despus, se roba una carta del mazo de Ejrcito.

Pasar.

Si la Lnea de Batalla es eliminada, la Reserva se convierte en la Lnea de Batalla.

Normalmente, los Accesorios pueden jugarse sobre cualquier Unidad que est en juego. No puedes jugar dos accesorios con la misma palabra clave (como Armadura) sobre la misma Unidad.

Reserva de Oro: La Reserva de Oro determina la cantidad de Unidades y Accesorios que se pueden jugar. Cada jugador tiene

20 puntos de oro durante la primera Fase de Movilizacin. Durante la segunda Fase de Movilizacin, cada jugador comienza con 25 puntos de oro. En la tercera Fase de Movilizacin, cada jugador empieza con 30 puntos de oro.

Cuando juegues una carta, resta su coste del oro que te quede. No puedes gastar ms oro del que tienes.

Cuenta el gasto en oro de las cartas que hay en juego, justo antes de cada fase de batalla. Si has superado sin querer tu coste en oro, descarta la ltima Unidad colocada hasta que vuelvas a estar por debajo de la Reserva de Oro de esa Batalla. Tu Fase de Movilizacin termina de inmediato.

Final de la Fase de Movilizacin. Cuando pases, la Fase de Movilizacin acaba de inmediato. Cuando ambos jugadores hayan pasado, cada jugador descarta las cartas que le queden en la mano y comienza la Batalla.

Fase de BatallaAqu es donde transcurre gran parte del juego.

Inicio: Cada jugador roba 5 cartas de su Mazo de Accin. Comprobad vuestras Unidades. El que tenga ms Puntos de Tctica en su Reserva consigue la primera Orden.

Exploradores: Los Exploradores ayudan a obtener la primera Orden. Cualquier unidad de Exploradores de la Lnea de Batalla aade su puntuacin de Exploracin al total de Puntos de Tctica para decidir quin acta en primer lugar.

Si se produce un empate, haz una Tirada para ver quin acta en primer lugar.

rdenes Las rdenes son los turnos de cada jugador durante la Fase de Batalla. Cada jugador emplea un turno llevando a cabo una de las siguientes acciones:

Atacar con una Unidad.

Realizar un Ataque a Distancia.

Jugar una Orden sobre una carta.

Trasladar una Unidad de la Reserva a la Lnea de Batalla.

Pasar.

Retirarse.

Atacar con una UnidadEscoge una de tus unidades Preparadas de la Lnea de Batalla o una unidad Preparada de Caballera o Voladora que est en cualquiera de las lneas y ponla en el Campo de Batalla. Escoge a qu Unidad de la Lnea de Batalla de tu rival vas a atacar. Si tu contrincante no tiene unidades Preparadas en la Lnea de Batalla, puedes elegir una unidad cualquiera de la Reserva. Si tu Unidad atacante es Voladora, puedes atacar a cualquier Unidad enemiga.

Bloqueos del rival Para bloquear un ataque, el rival ha de escoger una unidad Preparada que sea ms rpida que la unidad atacante.

Las unidades de Caballera son ms rpidas que las de Infantera.

Las unidades Voladores son ms rpidas que las unidades de Caballera e Infantera.

Normalmente, una Unidad slo puede ser bloqueada de este modo.

Llega la hora de la Batalla! La unidad objetivo o la unidad que bloquea se coloca en el Campo de Batalla. Ambos jugadores roban una carta de Accin y comienza el Combate. Pasa al apartado de Combate.

Realizar un Ataque a DistanciaUna Unidad preparada con Ataque a Distancia puede iniciar un combate contra una Unidad enemiga. Ninguna de las Unidades se mueve de su Lnea. La Unidad Atacante emplea la Puntuacin de Ataque a Distancia en lugar de su Fuerza.

La validez de un objetivo en los ataques a distancia depende del tipo de ataque que tenga la Unidad:

Ataque a Distancia: Esta Unidad puede escoger a una Unidad rival que est a dos Lneas de distancia.

Ataque a Corta Distancia: Esta Unidad slo puede escoger a una Unidad rival que est a una Lnea de distancia.

Ataque a Larga Distancia: Esta Unidad puede escoger a cualquier Unidad rival.

Las cartas que afectan a la Fuerza de una Unidad no afectan al Ataque a Distancia de una Unidad.

Las unidades son tus ejrcitos, tus soldados. Las cartas de Unidades se utilizan para luchar contra el enemigo y ganar la partida.

1 Coste en Oro: Lo que cuesta jugar una determinada Unidad.

2 Nombre3 Fuerza: La Fuerza te ayuda a ganar

batallas.4 Puntos de Tctica: Los Puntos de

Tctica se gastan para jugar Tcticas.5 nica: Esta estrella indica que una carta

es nica. Esto significa que slo puede haber una copia de dicha carta en juego (en algn lugar del Campo de Batalla) en un momento dado. Si una carta nica est en juego y se juega un duplicado de la misma carta, se descarta la copia original. Si esto sucede durante la fase de Movilizacin, recuperas el oro y puedes jugar otra carta.

6 Liderazgo: Sirve para averiguar si la Unidad huye de la batalla o se queda y lucha.

7 Palabras clave: Las palabras clave ayudan a describir las Unidades. Otras cartas pueden hacer referencia a ellas, o pueden contar con reglas del juego. Algunas cartas tienen ms de una palabra clave.

8 Aptitudes: Todo lo que haga la Unidad.9 Texto descriptivo: Este texto no tiene

ninguna utilidad en el juego, pero sirve para hacerse una idea del mundo de WarCry.

Tipos de UnidadesHay varios tipos de Unidades. Infantera: Los soldados de infantera conforman el tipo de tropas ms lento. Pueden ser bloqueados por Caballera y Voladores. Caballera: Soldados montados a lomos de algn tipo de criatura. La Caballera puede bloquear a la Infantera y atacar a la Lnea de Batalla del enemigo desde cualquiera de tus Lneas. La Caballera puede ser bloqueada por los Voladores.

cartas deUnidades

Los Accesorios ayudan a combatir mejor a tus Unidades. Aaden aptitudes permanentes a tus Unidades y permanecen en juego hasta que la Unidad resulta destruida.

1 Coste en Oro2 Nombre3 nica4 Aptitud

Los accesorios del Bien y del Mal cuentan con las mismas caractersticas que sus respectivas Unidades. La mayora de los accesorios son Neutrales, con lo que pueden usarse con cualquier ejrcito.

Carta de Accesorio

CARTA DE ACCIN

1 Coste2 Lo que hace la carta

ComprometerSe considera que una Unidad fresca est Preparada. Comprometer signica rotar una Unidad Preparada 90 grados para indicar que la has usado. Las Unidades Comprometidas no pueden emplear sus tcticas, reacciones u rdenes. Una Unidad Comprometida no puede atacar ni realizar ataques de Continuacin, aunque puede defenderse.

Replegar: Replegar signica girar hasta la posicin de Preparada a una carta que previamente haya sido Comprometida. A continuacin, podras usar una accin que requiriera que fuera Comprometida.

El JCC de Batallas Fantsticas

Reglas

Las Unidades que realizan un Ataque a Distancia quedan comprometidas tras la resolucin del Combate a Distancia, igual que las Unidades normales.

Llega la hora de la Batalla! Pasa al apartado de Combate.

Jugar una OrdenAlgunas cartas cuentan con acciones que puedes llevar a cabo, y que tienen efectos especcos e inmediatos descritos con claridad en la carta. En cuanto usas una Accin de Orden, tu turno acaba. A continuacin, tu rival puede llevar a cabo una Orden.

Estrategias: Las Estrategias son cartas de Accin que permanecen en juego hasta el nal de la batalla. Se juegan como las rdenes. Coloca la carta de Estrategia boca arriba donde ambos jugadores podis verla. La carta indica el efecto que tiene.

Mover Puedes mover una Unidad de la Reserva a la Lnea de Batalla. No puedes mover en sentido contrario. En cuanto haces un Movimiento, acaba tu turno. A continuacin, tu rival puede llevar a cabo una Orden.

Pasar Un jugador puede pasar en su turno. Cuando ambos jugadores pasen consecutivamente, resuelve la Fase de Batalla viendo quin ha conquistado el Campo de Batalla. Consulta el apartado Conquistar el Campo de Batalla.

Retirada!Empleando una Orden, cualquier jugador puede Retirarse. La retirada implica que pierdes automticamente dicha Batalla, y las Unidades que te queden pueden resultar descartadas. Debes realizar una Prueba de Liderazgo por cada Unidad que quieras conservar. No se pueden jugar modificadores ni reacciones. Si fallas, se descarta la Unidad. Si tienes xito, la Unidad puede ser recogida durante la Limpieza.

CombateInicio del Combate Una vez que se declara un Ataque o un Ataque a Distancia y se escoge el objetivo, ambos jugadores roban una carta de sus respectivos Mazos de Accin. Cada jugador, empezando por el que declar el Ataque, emplea un turno en jugar una Tctica o Pasar.

Jugar Tcticas Existen dos tipos de Tcticas, y las Tcticas aparecen en dos sitios.

Tipos de Tcticas: El tipo de Tctica determina la Unidad sobre la que puede jugarse.

Una Tctica de Combate slo puede jugarla una Unidad preparada que est implicada en un combate.

Una Tctica de Apoyo slo puede jugarla una Unidad preparada ajena al combate, dirigida hacia una Unidad en combate.

Grito de Guerra!: Un Grito de Guerra es una Tctica de Combate especial. Debe ser tu primera accin en combate (si pasas ya no puedes jugar un Grito de Guerra). Los Gritos de Guerra cuentan como Tcticas de Combate.

Dnde aparecen las Tcticas: Las Tcticas aparecen en las cartas de Accin o como Aptitud de Tctica de una Unidad.

Cartas de Tctica: Est claramente indicado cundo una carta de Accin cuenta con una Tctica. Cada carta tiene un Coste de Tctica. La Unidad que usa la tctica debe gastar Puntos de Tctica para jugarla.

Las Unidades con muchos Puntos de Tctica tal vez puedan jugar ms de una carta de Tctica, aunque cada carta debe jugarse en una accin independiente.

Cuando juegues una Carta de Tctica, colcala en el Campo de Batalla. Esto servir para llevar la cuenta de los Puntos de Tctica que has gastado, y de tener en cuenta los benecios que proporciona la carta. Cuando se resuelva ese combate, descrtala de inmediato.

Aptitudes de Tctica: Las Aptitudes de Tctica aparecen en cartas de Unidad o de Accesorio. No suelen tener un coste en Puntos de rdenes, pero slo pueden jugarse una vez por Combate. Recuerda que no puedes jugar Tcticas sobre Unidades o Accesorios si estn comprometidas.

Reacciones: Las Reacciones indican cundo deben jugarse. No puedes usar la Reaccin de una Unidad ms de una vez por situacin, pero puedes jugar tantas reacciones distintas como quieras. Las Reacciones no equivalen a emplear un turno o una Orden.

PasarCuando ambos jugadores pasen consecutivamente, resuelve el combate.

Resolucin del Combate Cada jugador realiza una Tirada y suma el resultado a la Fuerza de su Unidad combatiente. Por supuesto, se tienen en cuenta todas las Tcticas. Quien obtenga un resultado total mayor, vence el combate. El vencedor realiza un Chequeo de Desbandada y se descarta la Unidad derrotada.

Matanza!En caso de empate, se descartan ambas unidades. Acaba el turno del jugador actual.

Nota especial: Si una Unidad Comprometida gana un Combate, la Unidad rival no resulta destruida. Ambas Unidades regresan, Comprometidas, a su Lnea de Batalla. Si el resultado es una Matanza, ambas Unidades resultan destruidas.

Resolucin de los Ataques a Distancia Los Ataques a Distancia se resuelven del mismo modo que un Combate normal, aunque tienen resultados algo distintos. Si la suma de la Tirada y la puntuacin de Ataque a Distancia es mayor o igual que la Fuerza de la Unidad enemiga, la Unidad objetivo queda Comprometida. Si dicha Unidad ya se encontraba Comprometida, se descarta. Si pierde la Unidad que realiza el Ataque a Distancia, no pasa nada ms. En cualquier caso, la Unidad que ataca a distancia queda Comprometida de manera normal al nal del combate. El turno del jugador actual naliza. Las Unidades con Ataque a Distancia no pueden realizar ataques de Continuacin, ni tampoco forzar Chequeos de Desbandada.

Chequeo de DesbandadaLos chequeos de Desbandada determinan si el vencedor puede realizar un ataque de Continuacin presionando a las dems tropas de su enemigo. Tienes que realizar el chequeo de Desbandada, aunque no ests obligado a continuar con los ataques.

El jugador que venci el combate realiza una Tirada y compara el resultado con el Liderazgo de la Unidad vencida. Si el resultado de la Tirada es mayor o igual que el Liderazgo de la Unidad vencida, sta se Desbanda. E l vencedor puede realizar un ataque de Continuacin. Si e l resultado de la Tirada es inferior, la Unidad no se desbanda y no pasa nada ms. El turno del jugador actual naliza.

Ataques de Continuacin Cuando una Unidad Desbanda a otra Unidad, puede llevar a cabo un ataque sobre una de las unidades restantes del enemigo. Es un Combate nuevo, as que recuerda robar una carta de Accin al principio. Por supuesto, las Unidades Comprometidas no pueden declarar ataques de Continuacin.

Eleccin de la Unidad defensora. El jugador que perdi el combate inicial elige la Unidad atacada en la Continuacin. Debe escoger una unidad Preparada como objetivo del ataque de la Continuacin. Si no dispone de unidades Preparadas, el atacante escoge la unidad a la que va a atacar.

Combate de Continuacin Las Continuaciones se consideran Combates nuevos. Cualquier Aptitud de Tctica jugada en el combate inicial puede jugarse en la Continuacin, suponiendo que an pueda pagarse. A diferencia de los Combates normales, cuando una unidad resulta derrotada durante un ataque de Continuacin, el jugador vencedor no realiza un chequeo de Desbandada.

Limpieza del Combate: Al nal del combate, despus de cualquier ataque de Continuacin, la Unidad vencedora queda comprometida y se sita en su Lnea de Batalla.

Conquistar el Campo de BatallaUna vez que ambos jugadores pasen consecutivamente, determina quin ha conquistado el Campo de Batalla.

Victoria! Suma los puntos de Fuerza de las unidades que queden en juego. El jugador con ms puntos conquista el Campo de Batalla. Si se trata de su segunda victoria, gana la partida!

Victoria +/-: Algunas Unidades cuentan con la aptitud de destruir con facilidad otras tropas, pero no sirven de mucho al determinar las condiciones de victoria. Cuando se calcula quin conquista el Campo de Batalla, se ha de sumar o restar al total de Fuerza la puntuacin de Victoria de una Unidad.

Los empates son para los dbiles Si las sumas de las Fuerzas de los jugadores son iguales cuando ambos pasan, se produce un Combate nal para decidir el vencedor. Cada jugador realiza una Tirada. La persona que obtiene el resultado superior elige una Unidad y la coloca, preparada, en el Campo de Batalla. Se considera que est atacando. El jugador con el resultado inferior escoge la Unidad que va a ser objetivo del ataque, que se coloca, preparada, en el Campo de Batalla y tiene lugar un Combate.

Al nal del Combate, cuenta las Fuerzas de los supervivientes para ver quin conquista el Campo de Batalla. Si el resultado sigue siendo un empate, repite el proceso hasta que se obtenga un vencedor.

Si no le quedan Unidades a ninguno de los jugadores, van robando del mazo del Ejrcito hasta que aparezca una Unidad. En ese caso, haced una tirada para ver quin ataca.

Limpieza Despus de ver quin conquista el Campo de Batalla, ambos jugadores descartan sus manos. Las Unidades supervivientes pueden ser descartadas. A continuacin, las Unidades restantes pueden volverse a colocar en cada Lnea. Su coste en Oro se resta del Oro que se da para gastar en el siguiente turno.

1. The Game

100. General

100.1. These WarCry rules assume a game between two players. Optional rules allow for more players but arent discussed here. These rules can be found at the Sabertooth Games website at www.sabertoothgames.com.

100.2. In constructed play, each player needs his or her own deck, consisting

of two separate decks of at least thirty cards, small objects to represent any tokens and counters, and some way to clearly track strength of units. A constructed deck can have no more than three of any card with a particular English name.

100.3. Sealed and limited play rules. 100.4. There is no maximum deck size. 100.5. Most WarCry tournaments have special rules (not included here) and

may limit the use of some cards, including barring all cards from some older sets.

101. Starting the Game

101.1. At the start of the game, each player shuffles his or her own decks so that the cards are in a random order. Each player may then shuffle his or her enemy's decks.

101.2. After the decks have been shuffled, the players determine who choose

which player goes first by discarding the top card of their action decks. Whoever rolls higher chooses which player goes first.

101.3. Once the starting player has been determined, each player draws a

hand of five cards from their army deck. 102. Winning and Losing

102.1. If a player wins two battles during a game, he or she wins the game. 103. The Golden Rule

103.1. The Golden Rule: Whenever a cards text directly contradicts these rules, the card takes precedence. The card overrides only the rule that applies to that specific situation. If an instruction requires taking an impossible action, its ignored. (In many cases the card will specify consequences for this; if it doesnt, theres no effect.)

103.2. When one effect says something can happen and another says it cant,

the cant effect wins. For example, if one effect reads This unit may not be blocked and another reads This unit may block any attack, the effect that keeps you from blocking wins out. Note that adding abilities to cards and removing abilities from cards dont fall under this rule.

2. Cards

200. General

200.1. When a rule or text on a card refers to a card, it means a WarCry card with a WarCry card front and the WarCry card back. Tokens arent considered cards.

201. Parts of a Card

201.1. The parts of a card are name, gold cost, strength, tactic points,

leadership value, text box, collectors line (which includes the expansion designator, rarity, collector number, and artist credit). Some cards may have none or more than one of any or all of these parts.

201.2. A card's characteristics are name, gold cost, army, rules text, strength,

tactic points, and leadership. Any other information about a card isnt a characteristic. Characteristics dont include any other information, such as whether a card is committed, a card's target, a card's controller, and so on. Characteristics cannot have their printed value changed by cards or effects.

202. Name

202.1. The name of a card is printed at the top of the card for Units and Attachments. The name of an Action card is printed in the left hand side of the card.

202.2. Card text that refers to the card its on by name means just that

particular card and not any other duplicates of it, regardless of any name changes caused by game effects. Also, if a card has an effect on or grants an ability that includes that cards name to another card, the name refers only to the card generating the effect or granting the ability, not to duplicates of cards with the same name.

202.3. Two cards have the same name if the English versions of their names

are identical, regardless of anything else printed on the cards. 203. Card Cost

203.1. Unit and attachment cards have a gold cost. This is indicated by the number in the upper left corner.

203.2. Action cards have a tactic point cost. This is indicated by the number in

the upper left corner.

203.4. Any additional cost listed in a cards rules text isnt part of the card cost. Such costs are paid at the same time as the cards other costs.

204. Strength

204.1. The strength of cards is indicated in the upper right corner. Strength may be modified or set to a particular value.

204.2. Attachment cards give a strength bonus to the unit they are attached

to. For example, an attachment with a strength of "+1" gives the unit it is attached to +1 strength.

204.3. Action cards can give a strength bonus to a unit. Action cards which do

give a strength bonus have a reminder number as a strength. 205. Tactic Points

205.1. The tactic points of cards is indicated in flag in the upper right corner. Tactic points may be modified or set to a particular value.

205.2. Attachment cards give a tactic points bonus to the unit they are

attached to. For example, an attachment with a tactic points of "+1" gives the unit it is attached to +1 tactic points.

206. Unique

206.1. This star indicates a card is Unique. There can only be one of a Unique card in play at a time. You may not play a copy of a Unique card you already have in play. If you have a Unique card in play and your enemy plays a duplicate of that card, the original copy is put into the discard pile. If this happens during the Muster phase, you get your gold back and may continue with your Muster phase.

207. Leadership

207.1. The leadership of cards is indicated in center of the card. Leadership may be modified or set to a particular value.

208. Illustration

208.1. The illustration is printed on the upper half of a card and has no game significance. For example, a unit isn't a flyer unless stated in its rules text, even if its depicted as flying.

209. Text Box

209.1. The text box is printed on the lower half of the card. It usually contains rules text stating what the card does and any special requirements for playing it.

209.2. Keywords

209.2.1. Keywords are located at the top of the text box. 209.2.2. The current army keywords are: Beastmen, Bretonnian, Chaos,

Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dogs of War, Dwarf, Empire, High Elf, Khemri, Kislev, Lizardmen (or Lizard Men), Orc, Skaven, Undead, and Wood Elf.

209.2.3. Unit cards have a troop type keyword. This determines the way a

unit attacks.

209.2.3.1. Infantry units can attack from your battle line, to your enemy's battle line.

209.2.3.2. Cavalry units can attack from either your battle line, or your

reserves, to your enemy's battle line.

209.2.3.3. Flyer units can attack from either your battle line, or your reserves, to either your enemy's battle line, or your enemy's reserves.

209.2.4. A unit may only have one of an attachment with a specific

attachment keyword. The attachment keywords are: Armor, Blade, Character, Hilt, Item, Shard, Standard, Weapon.

209.2.5. Action cards with the strategy keyword stay in play once they

have been played. These are placed into the discard pile at the end of the battle.

209.3. The text box may also contain italicized flavor text, which has no game

function, but like the illustration, adds artistic appeal to the game. 210. Die

210.1. Action cards have a die in their lower left corner. This is utilized for rolling.

211. Collector's Line

211.1. The collectors line is at the bottom of the card. It provides information about what set the card comes from, the rarity, the collector number, the artist credits and the copyright information. It has no game effect.

212. Card Type

212.1. All cards have one or more card types: unit, attachment, or action. The type (and subtype, if applicable) of a card is determined by the graphical elements on the card.

212.2. Action cards have a grey shield on their card back as well as featuring

a die on their lower left hand corner.

212.2.1. Combat tactics cards feature a yellow coin behind the flag and a numeral on top of the flag. This element is found in their upper left hand corner of the card.

212.2.2. Reaction cards feature a red coin behind the flag and no

numeral on top of the flag. This element is found in their upper left hand corner of the card.

212.2.3. Command action cards feature a blue coin behind the flag and

no numeral on top of the flag. This element is found in their upper left hand corner of the card.

212.3. Unit cards are denoted by the yellow shield on their card back as well

as a wooden text area graphic. Also denoting the card as a unit is the white numeral for its gold cost as well as a symbol placed in the middle of the card with a numeral for the units leadership.

212.4. Attachment cards are denoted by the yellow shield on their card back

as well as a scroll graphic on the text area. Also denoting the card as an attachment is the black numeral for its gold.

213. Zones

213.1. A zone is a place where WarCry cards can be during a game. There are five basic zones: deck, hand, discard pile, in play, and removed from the game. Each player has his or her own set of zones, except for the in-play zone, which is shared.

213.1.1. If a card would go to any deck, discard pile, or hand other than its

owners, it goes to the corresponding zone of its owners instead. 213.1.2. The order of cards in a deck or in a discard pile cant be changed

except when effects allow it. Cards in other zones can be arranged however their owners wish, although who controls those cards, their orientation, and attached cards must remain clear to both players.

213.1.3. A card that moves from one zone to another is treated as a new

card. Effects connected with its previous location will no longer affect it.

213.2. Deck

213.2.1. Each deck must be kept in face-down piles. Players cant look at or change the order of cards in a deck.

213.2.2. Any player may count the number of cards remaining in either

players deck at any time. 213.2.3. If an effect puts two or more cards on the top or bottom of a deck

at the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order. That decks owner doesnt reveal the order in which the cards go into his or her deck.

213.2.4. When a player's deck is empty, they shuffle their discard pile into

their deck. If they have no cards in the discard pile or deck, they are unable to draw cards or make rolls. Any tests or rout checks are automatic failures, and combat rolls are equal to 0.

213.2.5. A player's deck may contain Grand Alliance cards or Hordes of Darkness cards, but not both. Any deck may use Dogs of War cards.

213.3. Hand

213.3.1. The hand is where a player holds cards that have been drawn but

not yet played. 213.3.2. There is no maximum or minimum hand size. 213.3.3. A player may arrange his or her hand in any convenient fashion

and look at it as much as he or she wishes. A player cant look at the cards in another players hand but may count those cards at any time.

213.4. Discard Pile

213.4.1. Any card thats used, discarded, or destroyed is put on top of its

owners discard pile. Each players discard pile starts out empty. 213.4.2. Each discard pile is kept in a single face-up pile. A player can

examine the cards in any discard pile at any time but cant change their order.

213.4.3. If an effect puts two or more cards into the same discard pile at

the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order.

213.5. In Play

213.5.1. Most of the area between the players represents the in-play zone.

The in-play zone starts out empty. Cards a player controls are kept in front of him or her.

213.5.2. A card or ability affects and checks only the in-play zone unless it

specifically mentions a player or another zone. 213.5.3. Whenever a card enters the in-play zone, its considered a brand-

new card and has no relationship to any previous time that card was in play.

213.5.4. A card not in the in-play zone isnt in play and isnt considered

either committed or ready. Cards that arent either in play arent controlled by either player.

213.6.5. Units may be in one of three places while in play. They may be in

the battle line, the reserves, or the battlefield.

213.6.5.1. The battle line is the front row of a player's in-play area. 213.6.5.2. The reserves is the back row of a player's in-play area. 213.6.5.3. The battlefield is the area where the units involved in a

combat go. 213.6.5.4. If your battle line is ever empty, and you have no units in the

battlefield, your reserves become your battle line.

213.6. Removed from the Game

213.6.1 Effects can remove cards from the game. Some effects may provide a way for the card to return to play and use the term set aside. Cards that are set aside this way are still removed from the game, even though that removal may be temporary.

213.6.2. Cards in the removed-from-the-game zone are kept face up and

may be examined by either player at any time. Cards removed from the game face down cant be examined by either player except when instructions allow it.

213.6.3. Cards that might return to play should be kept in separate piles to

keep track of their respective ways of returning. Cards with no way of returning may be kept in one pile for each player, regardless of what removed them.

3. Game Structure

300. General

300.1. 300.2. A phase or step ends when both players pass consecutively. No game

events can occur between phases or steps. 300.3. When a phase or step ends, any effects scheduled to last until end of

that phase or step expire. When a phase or step begins, any effects scheduled to last until that phase or step expire.

301. Muster Phase

301.1. To determine who musters first, roll. The person with the highest roll chooses who fields first. If tied, roll again. In subsequent Battles, the loser of the previous battle chooses which player musters first.

301.2. In the first battle, each player has a 20 gold allotment to spend raising

an army. In the second battle, this amount increases to 25, and in the third battle, it increases again to 30.

301.3. Each player draws 5 cards from their army deck.

301.4. Beginning with the first player, each player alternates choosing one of

these three steps:

-Pay the cost of, and play, a unit card face up in either your battle line or reserves. -Pay the cost of and attach an attachment card face-up to one of your Unit cards. -Pass. After you pass you may no longer muster additional units or attachments. The only exception to this is if your enemy plays Unique card which removes one of your Unique cards from play or plays an ability that increases the amount of gold you may spend this muster phase. You then resume mustering normally.

301.5. During the muster phase, after you play a unit or attachment, draw 1 card from your army deck.

301.6. At the conclusion of the Muster Phase, each player puts his hand into

the discard pile. 302. Battle Phase

302.1. Setup

302.1.1. Each player draws 5 cards from their action deck. 302.1.2. Each player gets 5 spell points, plus 1 for each level of wizard

units and attachments they control. 302.1.3. To determine who gets the first command, each player counts the

number of tactic points they have in the reserves plus the amount of scout in the batteline. The player with the most gets the first command. In case of a tie, each player rolls, and the highest roll gets to go first.

302.2. Battle Definition

302.2.1. A battle consists of each player alternating turns, called commands, attacking or playing actions until both players pass in succession.

302.3. Attack

302.3.1. Declaring an Attack

302.3.1.1. On your turn, you may declare an attack with one of your units. Choose one of your ready infantry units in the battle line or a ready cavalry unit or flyer unit in either your battle line or reserves and place it into the battlefield. Choose one ready or committed unit in your enemy's battle line to be the target of the attack. If your enemy has no ready units in the battle line, you may choose to attack a unit in your enemy's reserves. If your attacking unit has the 'flyer' keyword, you may choose one of your enemy's units in either the battle line or reserves.

302.3.2. Blocking an Attack

302.3.2.1. After the attacker declares the defending unit for a non-

ranged attack, the defender has an opportunity to block the attack with one of their other units. The defender chooses one of his other ready units, and this unit now becomes the defending unit. Cavalry can block attacking infantry units, and flyers can block attacking infantry units or cavalry units.

302.3.2.2. Place the defending unit into the battlefield with the

attacking unit.

302.3.3. Each player draws 1 action card. 302.3.3. Combat

302.3.3.1. During a combat, starting with the attacker, each player gets the chance to play combat or support tactics. After a player has played a tactic, the opportunity passes to the next player, continuing in this fashion until both players pass consecutively.

302.3.4. Resolution of an Attack

302.3.4.1. After both players pass consecutively during an attack, the

attack moves to the resolution stage. Each player makes a combat roll, and adds the combat roll to their unit's strength. There are three possible results:

-The attacking unit has a higher total than the defending unit: If the attacking unit has a higher total, then the attacking unit wins the combat.

-The defending unit has a higher total than the attacking unit: If the defending unit has a higher total, then the defending unit wins the combat. -Both units have the same total: This is called a 'slaughter'. In this case, both units are destroyed. Neither unit wins in case of a slaughter.

302.3.5. Rout Check 302.3.5.1. The controller of the winning unit makes a rout check. To do

so, they roll off their deck, and if the roll is greater or equal to the losing unit's leadership, then the losing unit is routed.

302.3.5.2. There is no rout check after a follow-up attack. 302.3.5.3. If a card effect makes the winning unit rout the losing unit,

additional follow-up attacks may occur.

302.3.6. Destroy the Losing Unit 302.3.6.1 After the rout check (if any), if the winner is ready, the losing

unit is destroyed.

302.3.7. Follow-up Attacks 302.3.7.1. After a successful rout check, a ready unit may make a

follow-up attack. 302.3.7.2. The unit initiating the combat is now the attacking unit. 302.3.7.3. The defending player chooses one of their ready units to be

the defending unit. If they have no ready units, the attacking player may choose one of the defending player's units to be the defending unit.

302.3.7.4. Follow-up attacks have no blocking step. 302.3.7.5. Combat proceeds like a normal attack (see Rule 302.3.,

"Attack"). 302.3.7.6. There is no rout check during a follow-up, though card

effects may allow additional rout checks or automatic routs.

302.3.8. At the conclusion of all follow-ups, return any surviving units in the battlefield to their respective batteline committed.

302.4. Ranged Attack

302.4.1. Declaring an Attack

302.4.1.1. To declare a ranged attack, choose your attacking unit with a ranged attack ability. Then choose a ready or committed unit within range of your attack to be the target of the attack. Units with Ranged Attack may choose any unit either 0 or 1 ranks away on the battlefield (i.e. Reserves to opposing Battle Line, or Battle Line to opposing Reserves, or Battle Line to opposing Battle Line). Units with Short Ranged Attack may choose any unit 0 ranks away (i.e. Battle Line to opposing Battle Line). Units with Long Ranged Attack may choose any unit 0, 1, or 2 ranks away (i.e. Reserves to opposing Battle Line, or Battle Line to opposing Reserves, or Battle Line to opposing Battle Line, or Reserves to opposing Reserves).

302.4.2. Each player draws 1 action card. 302.4.3. Combat

302.4.3.1. During a combat, starting with the attacker, each player gets the chance to play combat or support tactics. After a player has played a tactic, the opportunity passes to the next player, continuing in this fashion until both players pass consecutively.

302.4.4. Resolution of a Ranged Attack

302.4.4.1. After both players pass consecutively during an attack, the

attack moves to the resolution stage. The attacking makes a combat roll, and adds that to his ranged attack; the defender makes a combat roll, and adds that to his strength. There are two possible results: -The attacking unit has a higher or equal total than the defending unit: If the attacking unit has a higher or equal total, then the attacking unit wins the combat. If the losing unit is ready, then it becomes committed; if it was already committed, destroy it. At the end of the attack, the attacking unit becomes committed. - The defending unit has a higher total than the attacking unit: If the defending unit has a higher total, then the defending unit wins the combat. It is not committed or destroyed by the combat. At the end of the attack, the attacking unit becomes committed.

302.4.4.2. There is no rout check after a ranged attack, nor is there a follow-up attack for the winner.

302.4.4.3. At the conclusion of the ranged attack, commit the attacking

unit.

303.5. Combat Roll

303.5.1. To make a combat roll, a player reveals the top card of their action deck, and places it into their discard pile. The roll is equal to the die on the revealed card.

303.6. Command

303.5.1. On your turn you may play a command card or command ability. 303.7. Move Forward

303.7.1. On your turn you may move one of your reserve units to your battle line.

303.8. Retreat

303.8.1. On your turn you may concede the battle. If you do, all of your units must take leadership tests. If they fail, they are placed in your discard pile.

303.9. Pass

303.9.1. On your turn, you may pass instead of taking an action. 303. Battle Resolution

303.1. Holding Ground

303.1.1. To determine the winner of a battle, each player counts up their remaining strength. The player with the most remaining strength is the victor.

303.1.2. If one player has no units during this step, and the opposing

player has one or more units, the player with remaining units wins, even if they have a strength total of 0 or less.

303.2. Ties

303.2.1. In case of a tie, there is a final combat to determine the winner. Each player rolls. The player with the highest roll chooses one of their units, and places it into the battlefield, ready. It is the attacking unit. The other player chooses one of their units, and places it into the battlefield, ready. It is now the defending unit.

303.2.2. After the resolution of the combat, recount remaining strength to

determine the winner. In case of a tie, repeat this process until one player wins.

303.2.3. If neither player has any units left, each player reveals the top

card of their army deck until they reveal a unit. That unit is put into play, in the battlefield. In this case, roll to determine which player is the attacker.

303.3. Rally all Surviving Units

303.3.1. Return all units to the ready card state.

303.4. Carry Over

303.4.1. Each player may choose to place in the discard pile any of their units they do not wish to keep for the next battle. Any units they do keep, and attachments on those units, count against their gold allotment for the next battle.

303.4.2. You cannot choose to discard an attachment without choosing to

discard the unit it is attached to. You cannot choose to discard a unit without also discarding all of that unit's attachments.

4. Cards and Abilities

400. General

400.1. An ability is text in a card's text box that generates an effect. Reminder text, flavor text and characteristic setting text are not abilities. Abilities generate effects only from the in-play zone unless they state otherwise. Text itself is never an effect. Activated abilities and triggered abilities generate effects when they resolve. Static abilities generate continuous effects.

401. Abilities

401.1. An ability is text on a card thats not reminder text, flavor text, or characteristic-setting text. The result of following such an instruction is an effect. (See rule 407, Effects.) Abilities can affect the cards or cards

theyre on; they can also affect other cards, and/or players. Abilities can grant abilities to other cards or to the cards they're on; they do so when the words has, have, gains, or gain are used.

401.2. Abilities can be beneficial or detrimental. For example, [This unit] cant

block is an ability. 401.3. Once activated or triggered, an ability exists independently of its

source (the card on which its printed). Destruction or removal of the source after that time wont affect the ability.

401.4. A card may have several abilities. Aside from certain defined abilities

that may be strung together on a single line (see rule 500, Keyword Abilities), each period break in a cards text marks a separate effect. A card may also have multiple instances of the same effect. Each effect must be fully resolved before moving unto the next. This may or may not produce more effects than a single instance; refer to the specific ability for more information.

401.5. Abilities function only while the card with the ability is in play unless the

ability states otherwise or unless the ability can only work, trigger, or be played in a zone other than the in-play zone.

Example: An ability with a cost that includes discard this card from your hand can be played only if the card is in your hand.

401.6. Some cards have abilities that can be played when the card is not in

play. These are clearly marked (for example, Play this ability only if [this card] is in your discard pile).

401.7. There are three general types of abilities: activated, triggered, and

static. Abilities can generate one-shot effects or continuous effects. 402. Activated Abilities

402.1. An activated ability can exist on either a card in-play or on a card outside the in-play zone. An activated ability is written as Timing cost: effect. The activation cost is everything before the colon (:). The abilitys controller must pay its activation cost to play it.

Example: Hasty Maneuver has the text "Combat Tactic Discard a random card: This unit gets +4 strength." To play this card, you must discard 1 random card in addition to paying tactic points.

402.2. Only a card's controller (or a cards owner, for cards outside the in-play

zone) can play its activated ability unless the card specifically says otherwise.

402.3. If an activated ability has a restriction on its use (for example, Play this ability only once each turn), the restriction continues to apply to that card even if its controller changes.

403. Triggered Abilities

403.1. A triggered ability begins with the word when, whenever, or at. The phrase containing one of these words is the trigger condition, which defines the trigger event. A delayed triggered ability will also contain one of these three words, although that word wont usually begin the ability.

403.2. Triggered abilities arent played. Instead, a triggered ability

automatically triggers each time its trigger event occurs. 403.3. A triggered ability may read When/Whenever/At . . . , if [condition],

[effect]. The ability checks for the stated condition to be true when the trigger event occurs. If it is, the ability triggers. On resolution, the ability rechecks the condition. If the condition isnt true at either of those times, the ability does nothing. This rule is referred to as the intervening if clause rule. Note that the word if has only its normal English meaning anywhere else in the text of a card; this rule only applies to an if that immediately follows a trigger condition.

404. Static Abilities

404.1. Some cards have text on a card that in not proceeded by a bold face term. These are traits. They are always active you may not choose to activate them or not activate them, they are always active. Some may prevent or restrict certain types of actions, while others may grant some bonus. A traits effect resolves before an activated ability (command, reaction, or tactic).

404.2. In the case of resolution of multiple static effects, the attacker resolves

theirs in the order they choose, and then the defender resolves theirs in the order they choose.

405. Ability Subtypes

405.1. Delayed Triggered Abilities 405.1.1. An effect may create a delayed triggered ability that can do

something at a later time. 405.1.2. Delayed triggered abilities come from cards or other abilities that

create them on resolution. That means a delayed triggered ability wont trigger until it has actually been created, even if its trigger event occurred

just beforehand. Other events that happen earlier may make the trigger event impossible.

405.1.3. A delayed ability that refers to a particular card still affects it even if

the card changes characteristics. 405.1.4. A delayed ability that refers to a particular card will fail if the card

leaves play (even if it returns again before the specified time). Similarly, delayed triggered abilities that apply to a card in a particular zone will fail if the card leaves that zone.

406. Adding and Removing Abilities

406.1. Effects can add or remove abilities of cards. If two or more effects add and remove the same ability, in general the most recent one prevails.

406.2. A card's characteristic set by an effect is different from an ability

granted by an effect. When a card gains or has an ability, it can be removed by another effect. If an effect defines a characteristic of the card ([card] is [characteristic]), its not granting an ability.

406.3. Effects that remove an ability from a card remove all instances of it on

that card. 407. Effects

407.1. When a card or ability resolves, it may create one or more effects. There are three main types: one-shot effects, continuous effects, and replacement and prevention effects.

407.2. Effects apply only to cards in play unless the instructions text states

otherwise or they clearly can apply only to cards in one or more other zones.

Example: An effect that changes all attachment cards to units wont alter attachment cards in the players discard piles.

407.3. If an effect attempts to do something impossible, it does only as much

as possible. Example: If a player is holding only one card, an effect that reads

Discard two cards causes him or her to discard only that card. If an effect moves cards out of the deck (as opposed to drawing), it moves as many as possible.

407.3.1. If an effect is only partially resolved you do not move onto the next effect. 408. One-Shot Effects

408.1. A one-shot effect does something just once and doesnt have a

duration. 408.2. Some one-shot effects instruct a player to do something later in the

game (usually at a specific time) rather than when they resolve. This kind of effect actually creates a new ability that waits to be triggered. (See rule 405.1, Delayed Triggered Abilities.)

409. Continuous Effects

409.1. A continuous effect modifies characteristics of cards or modifies the rules of the game for a fixed or indefinite period. A continuous effect may be generated by the resolution of a card or ability or by a static ability of a card.

410. Replacement and Prevention Effects

410.1. Replacement and prevention effects are continuous effects that watch for a particular event to happen and then completely or partially replace that event. (A prevention effect replaces an event with nothing or with a lessened version of the event.) These effects act like shields around whatever theyre affecting. All replacement effects use the word instead to indicate what events will be replaced with other events, and prevention effects use prevent to indicate what events will not occur. Abilities that contain instead or prevent generate replacement or prevention effects, respectively.

410.2. Replacement and prevention effects apply continuously as events

happenthey arent locked in ahead of time. 410.3. There are no special restrictions on playing a card or ability that

generates a replacement or prevention effect. Such effects last until theyre used up or their duration has expired.

410.4. Replacement or prevention effects must exist before the appropriate

event occursthey cant go back in time and change something thats already happened.

410.5. If an event is prevented or replaced, it never happens. A modified

event occurs instead, which may in turn trigger abilities. Note that the modified event may contain instructions that cant be carried out, in which case the player simply ignores the impossible instruction. Some abilities read, Whenever [X], you may [Y]. If you do, [Z]. The if you do clause refers to doing any part of the event Y. If Y is replaced entirely or in part by a different event, the if you do clause refers to the event that replaced Y.

410.6. Replacement Effects

410.6.1. A replacement effect doesnt invoke itself repeatedly and gets only one opportunity for each event.

410.6.2. Some cards and abilities replace part or all of their own effect(s)

when they resolve. Such effects are called self-replacement effects. When applying replacement effects to an event, apply self-replacement effects first, then apply other replacement effects.

410.7. Prevention Effects

410.7.1. A prevention effect prevents an effect from happening. Example: "Prevent your unit from being destroyed."

410.8. Interaction of Replacement or Prevention Effects

410.8.1. If two or more replacement or prevention effects are attempting to modify the way an event affects a card or player, the affected card's controller or the affected player chooses one to apply to that card or player. Then the other applies if it is still appropriate. If one or more of the applicable replacement effects is a self-replacement effect (see rule 412.6.2.), that effect is applied before any other replacement effects.

410.8.2. A replacement effect can become applicable to an event as the

result of another replacement effect that modifies the event. 411. Targeting and Restrictions

411.1. Cards with targeting restrictions must first be met. Example: Blade of the Assassin has the text "This Dark Elf unit gets

+2 strength and the enemy unit gets -2 tactic points." This card is only playable if you have a Dark Elf unit in combat.

411.2. For a card or ability to be played, all restrictions on the card or ability

must first be met. Example: Furious Charge has the text "Only playable while you have

more cards in your hand than your enemy." This card is playable if you have 6 cards in your hand (including Furious Charge), and your enemy has 5 cards; but not if you have 4 cards, and your enemy has 5 cards.

412. Combat Tactics

412.1. Combat Tactics are special activated abilities which may only be played during the combat phase (see Rule 303.2.3, "Combat").

412.2. Combat Tactic abilities may only be played by a unit in combat. 412.3. Combat Tactic abilities may only be played once per combat.

413. Support Tactics
