Instructions WarCry

Objective

WarCry is a tabletop miniatures game set in the dark, fantastical world of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The goal is to win battles between small groups of warriors, known as "Warbands." Each Warband has its own strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics.

Setup

• Play Area: First, set up the play area as instructed in the scenario or mission card. It consists of a square field with various terrain pieces that can represent strategically important positions.
• Select Warbands: Each player selects a Warband consisting of a specific number of miniatures. These miniatures have certain stats like movement, strength, hit points, etc.
• Prepare Decks: The game uses cards for initiatives, missions, objectives, and terrain.

Gameplay

Each game of WarCry is divided into rounds, consisting of several phases:

1. Hero Phase

• Roll Initiative: Both players roll 6 D6 dice. Record any doubles, triples, or quadruples.
• Determine Initiative: The player with the most unique rolls begins the round. In case of a tie, the player with the highest single die starts.

2. Movement Phase

• Choose Actions: Each miniature can take two actions per turn. Possible actions include "Move," "Attack," "Charge" (Move and Attack), "Rest," or "Use Ability."
• Movement: The figure can move up to its movement range.

3. Combat Phase

• Attack: Takes place within contact range. The attacker rolls a number of D6 corresponding to their attack stat.
• Determine Hits: Hits are determined by comparing the roll with the target's toughness.
• Inflict Damage: Damage is calculated based on the difference and damage status on the card.

4. End Phase

• End Round: Check if mission objectives have been met or if one side has been completely defeated.

Victory Conditions

Victory conditions can vary and are determined at the start of the game through scenario or mission cards. Objectives might include controlling certain terrain points, defeating all enemy models, or surviving until a certain round counter.

Tactical Tips

1. Use Terrain: Leverage the terrain to find cover or gain tactical advantages.
2. Synergize: Use your Warband units' special abilities wisely to create synergies.
3. Exploit Initiative: A good initiative can allow you to make vital first moves.

WarCry offers a blend of strategy, chance, and tactical thinking, inviting players to engage in varied battles and scenarios.
