1 turn : Initial Phase + Impulses + Final phase

Initial phase

  1. Hide revealed blocks Except blocks within 3 EP or less from an enemy block (and in their LOS).
  2. JFO Population movement 1 PM determined by the roll of 1d10.
  3. Check IED/UXO and wrecks (wrecks remain in game after explosion)
    1d10Result
    0-3IED/UXO/Wreck explodes
    4-9IED/UXO/Wreck remains in play and must be tested again next turn
  4. Events Each player draws an event card in its own pile. If the title is in red, the card must be played immediatelyo, if the title is black it can be played at the player's will. If there is an event table (Phantom Fury, operation Sinbad) roll 1D10 and check the corresponding table.
  5. 3D actions
    • Canceling or adjusting for T+1 actions. Resolution of actions from the previous turn. (Weapons effect, Fortification : lose 1 less OSL )
    • Request for next turn (no LOS needed, 1 max per block)

      Actions are limited by the scenario : X/Y in column # means can be requested X times per scenario and Y times per turn.
  6. Order of battle reorganization sequence Each side can exchange blocks between impulses
  7. Initiative determination (choice to start or not) See each scenario.

Impulses

Each side play their impulses (1 impulse played each turn maximum), each player can pass, if both do then start the final phase of the turn (the turn ends).
