THE TURN SEQUENCE

PRIORITY Phase
1 Both parties roll a die to decide who will have the priority. The
player who rolls higher gets to choose who goes first.

MOVEMENT Phase

2
Both parties move their figures. First, the party with the priority moves
any figures of themselves they like. Once it is over, the other party
moves their figures.

MISSILE Phase

3 Parties shoot using the figures with a missile weapon. Similarly, the
party with the priority shoots using any figures of themselves they
like. Once itis over, the other party shoots.

MELEE Phase
4 Both parties fight in hand-to-hand combat simultaneously. The
party with priority, decides the order in which fights are resolved.

MORALE Phase
5 Starting with the party with priority, parties may attempt to rally
their pinned figures.

This turn sequence is repeated until one party yields, is

eliminated, or the designated objective is achieved.

Orcs
Orcs are the wildest and most
aggressive of the Archean races, with
apish strength and a repulsive
monstrosity fed by violence and
cruelty.

They are tall, powerful with fair skin,

light hair (most commonly blonde
and red) and eyes (blue and brown).
They have slightly pointed ears, and
their bodies are commonly hairy,
with their blue eyes emitting the
signs of an evil, fierce and ruthless
mind behind them.

They live in invasive, cruel tribal

societies lead by warrior elites, who
are usually chosen upon a merciless
inner-clash within the tribe.

Orcs, like goblins, trace their origin

to an underworld where their
legends and lore sing of their true
homeland. From the hollow core of
Archea, the orc sages say, they
arrived at the face of the earth. It is
said that they have lost the
knowledge of where the Nether
Gates are, and cursed with roaming
the surface of the Archean world.
