The fact that the terrain is spase is an advantage. It allows either random extras or campaign driven additions. Like your figures and report. Hope to see a completed game next time. :)David Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148983897942472092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566635456910279027.post-86688992881727810532015-03-16T02:26:12.028+00:002015-03-16T02:26:12.028+00:00Sorry you had problems with Field of Battle - it&#...Sorry you had problems with Field of Battle - it's one of my favorite games (although I do have some issues with a few things). Yes, I remember having some issues learning FOB from the rules too - a lot of the rules are actually in the card definitions section, rather than in the main rules. For moving, when you draw a Move card then each "command" (a group of units organized at the start of the game under a leader figure) gets to roll their leader's die against a D6 to see how many move segments they get - if the leader rolls a natural "1" then they don't get to move. So yeah - everyone normally moves on a Move card. For shooting, you can fire at any time - once you shoot you place smoke marker in front of the unit. A unit with a smoke marker can't fire until it is removed by pulling a Firepower card. Most experience players don't shoot until they pull the Firepower card (when you pull a card you are allowed to shoot before you actually act on the card) then after they shoot they use the Firepower card to immediately remove the smoke marker so they are ready to fire again (and yes, they could shoot a 2nd time after they remove the smoke, but then they'll be "smoked" and wide open to attack if they don't get another Firepower card before the enemy starts pulling cards...)Dave Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009751148304427066noreply@blogger.com
