Purge Rules Expanded

PURGE: Sins of Science Core Rules
Standard (1v1) Game Edition Volume 1.3
Game Objective
Each Player starts with a Faction Stronghold with a listed Population ( ) count. Whichever player
manages to reduce their Opponents Stronghold to zero (0) wins.
Required for Play

Each player must have a Purge Deck of no more than 50 cards split between the three player decks. The
player decks are: OPS, TEK and WAR decks. These three decks, along with your Stronghold and
Commander cards, come together to form a Purge Deck.
The purchase of a Purge set consists of multiple pre-built decks to choose from, each with its own
Commanders, Strongholds and strategies.
A Purge Deck consists of the following:
1
1
Faction Commander
Faction Stronghold
48 A combination of OPS, TEK and Unit cards.

A Purge Deck is subdivided into a WAR deck for Units, an OPS deck for Operations and a TEK deck for
powerful technologies.
While different Commanders may rely on a traditional war machine consisting of combat Units, others
draw their power more from their OPS or TEK to win. Because of this, different Purge Decks may have
varying amounts of cards in their respective WAR, OPS, or TEK decks. Though the three decks may vary
in size, the total number of cards required for a Purge Deck is 50.

With the addition of new Purge sets, a player may choose to add and remove cards to better suit their
play style, as well as to fashion a better defense against the opposition they face. All cards in a Purge
Deck must be of a similar Faction as your Commander. For example, if youre Commander is from the
Human Faction, all cards must also be from the Human Faction. The color of the card back indicates
which Faction a card belongs.
Red Humans
Green Machines
Blue Ancients
Please note, when building a Purge Deck, you are limited to the COMM OPS of the Commander
designated on the OPS card. Commanders cannot make use of other Commanders COMM OPS anyway,
so it would be wasted in your deck.
Card Types and Subtypes

Just as there are various types of cards that are broken into their respective decks, there are also
variations within those card types. The different cards and their Subtypes are as follows:
Commander - This is the leader of your army.

Stronghold - This is your base of operations.
Stronghold Attachments - Equipment to enhance your Stronghold.
o Defensive Attachments - Bolster your walls with defensive armaments.
o Resource Attachments - You cant run a war without the resources to wage it.
OPS - These are your combat Operations.
o COMM OPS - These Operations are exclusive to your Commander.
o OMNI OPS - These Operations are restricted only by Faction.
UNITS - Represent troops and war machines.
o
Infantry- Expendable ground troops.

o Tank- The backbone of your war machine.
o Jet- Air Units that can fly over the landscape.
o Rig/Dreadnaught/Mothership- Terrifying pinnacles of Faction Technology.
TEK - Devastating technology used to equip and enhance your war machine.
Super Weapon - The most terrifying of all technological feats.
o
Unit - Move around the landscape like regular Units, but with devastating effects.
o OPS - Sometimes one shot is all you need.
o Stronghold - A Super Weapon that increases your Strongholds abilities.
o TEK Technologies that open the door for epic abilities.
Game Fundamentals
The Three Deck Arrangements
All cards are arranged, in no particular order, into three (3) different decks based on card types.
WAR Deck - The WAR deck contains all of your Units (with the exception of Super Weapon-Unit.)
TEK (Technology) Deck - The TEK deck holds Technology cards, Defensive Attachments, Resource
Attachments, and Super Weapon. Super Weapons are considered to be a part of the TEK deck, even if
they have another type, such as Unit.
OPS (Operations) Deck - The OPS deck includes only OPS cards.
Each of the three Decks has their respective discard piles next to them.
Card Types
Stronghold
- Your Stronghold represents the center of your Factions industrial war machine.
However, no war machine is complete without the necessary laborers to run it. Each Stronghold has a
corresponding population, represented by the value on each Stronghold card. Whenever a players
Stronghold reaches zero, that player loses the game.
Resource Attachment - Resource Attachments symbolize the advanced production facilities which
generate the energy needed to fuel your Factions industrial war complex. The Energy Production icon
( ) indicates how much energy will be produced at the beginning of each new turn.
Defensive Attachment
- Defensive Attachments represent deadly structures erected to defend
your Stronghold and its populous from the enemies that seek to annihilate it.
Technology - Gain an edge in the war and unlock superior abilities with TEKs.
Units - Units may move to assault Strongholds or Enemy Units, and some possess powerful abilities to
increase their utility in combat. All Units have Battle Stats and Subtypes.
Commander - Commanders represent the powerful leaders of their Factions. In addition to having
unique special abilities, Commanders may also make use of OPS cards. Like Units, Commanders may be
attacked and killed if not properly managed. Keep in mind, the war ranges on if your leader falls, but
you will not have access to your OPS cards (with the exception of Commander Resurrection effects).
Note: Commanders may only be targeted by abilities and OPS that

specifically target Commanders
OPS
- OPS cards may be played at any time as long as their energy ( ) and TEK ( ) requirements can
be satisfied. COMM OPS cards can only be played by the Commander listed on the OPS card in the Card
Type section. OPS cards which do not require a specific Commander (OMNI OPS) may be played by any
Commander so long as the OPS card matches that Commanders Faction. With the exception of
Resurrection effects that target Commanders, OPS cards cannot be played if your Commander is not in
play.
Super Weapon
- Super Weapons are the pinnacle of technological achievement. As such, they are
enormous engines of destruction which turn the tide of battle. Whether these come as one use OPS or if
they are Units in their own right, their existence will be significant.
Note: Some cards are oriented in the traditional Portrait format, while
most adhere to a Landscape layout. The card layout has no functional
effect on gameplay.
Vectors of Play
A Total of Three Vectors Exist on a playing surface during a normal 2 player game.
Stronghold Vectors
- The Stronghold Vector is the play area directly in front of a player. The
Stronghold Vector is where Strongholds, TEKS and all Attachments reside. (Player decks and discard piles
reside behind this Vector.)
There are two (2) Stronghold Vectors:
Friendly Stronghold Vector - This is where your Stronghold, TEKS and Attachments are placed.
Units come into play in this Vector. This is considered a Friendly Vector.
Opponents Stronghold Vector - This is where your enemies Stronghold, TEKS and attachments
can be found.
Battlefield Vector - (also known as the Field Vector) is the space between the Stronghold Vectors. In
order for Commanders or Units to attack opposing Stronghold Vectors, they must first enter the
Battlefield Vector. The Field Vector is considered a Friendly Vector.
Player A Decks and Discard Piles
Player A Stronghold Vector
Battlefield Vector

Player B Stronghold Vector

Player B Decks and Discard Piles
Represent the various Units, TEKS, Commanders and Super Weapons.

Represent the players Strongholds with their accompanying Attachments.
Represent the 3 decks and discard piles for each player.
Card breakdown
Card Name - Name of the card.

Energy Cost - The amount of energy (
) required to expend in order to play a card.
Technology Requirement - The number of TEK cards (
) needed under a players control in order
to play a card.
Card Type
- Specifies the card type: Unit, Commander, OPS, TEK, Stronghold, Defensive Attachment,
resource Attachment or Super Weapon.
Card Subtype - Some cards have a Subtype, such as a Unit - Tank or Super Weapon - Unit.
Card Text (effect) - The effect or abilities of the card. This may alter play in a variety of ways.
Card Battle Stats

Battle Stats are indicators of how a Unit, Commander, Stronghold or Defensive Attachment will fare in
battle. There are six (6) Battle Stats grouped into two (2) different categories:
Offensive Stats
Attack
The number of attacks a Unit, Commander or Defensive Attachment may make during a
Battle Instance. Once all attacks are expended, they may not make attack actions for the rest
of the turn.
The amount of damage a Unit, Commander or Offensive Attachment deals per attack.
Damage
(Commanders only). Determines which player goes first each turn. The player whose
Commander possesses the highest Initiative goes first. In the case of a tie, a coin is flipped to
Initiative decide which player goes first that turn. If a Commander is not in play, that players Initiative
is zero (0).
Defensive Stats
Armor
Armor reduces the amount of damage received from an attack, ability or OPS card by its
armor value. Any remaining damage is then carried over to the effected card, reducing its
health or population by that amount. Cards have a maximum armor cap of three (3).
Health
Represents the amount of health a Unit or Commander has. Once a cards health has been
reduced to zero (0), it is removed from play and put into the War Deck discard pile.
Note: Health reduced to 0 can be responded to before it resolves.
(Strongholds Only) The amount of Population a Stronghold has. Once a Strongholds reaches
zero (0), that player loses the game.
Population
Note: Battle Stats may not be reduced below zero (0).
Card Abilities
Stated or Unlockable Abilities
Unlockable Abilities
- These are abilities with a
next to them that need to have a TEK card in
play to be used. Once the prerequisite TEK is in play, an unlocked ability can resolve its effect. Only TEKs
in play and under your command allow unlocked abilities to take effect for your Units and Commanders.
Stated Abilities
- These are abilities without a
next to them and can be used or activated at any
time during the game.
Ability Activations
Passive - Passive Abilities are in effect at all times. There is no conditional triggering or activation costs
required.
Example: All of your Units gain +1
Triggered - A triggered ability only takes effect when a specific event occurs.
Example: This Unit gains +1
whenever it receives damage.
Activated - Like OPS cards, activated abilities take effect whenever you choose to use them so long as
you have the required energy and meet the prerequisites (if applicable) for their activation.
Example: OPT: Prevent 3
that would be dealt to your Commander.
Some activated abilities may be activated as number times as you can pay for them, but others are OPT
(once per turn) abilities. After youve used a OPT ability, you may not use it again until the start of the
next turn (and not the next Sub-phase).
Activating abilities does not count as taking up a Sub-phase and can happen at any time.
Gameplay Basics
Gaining/Expending Energy
Most cards require energy in order to be put into play or execute a stated ability. Energy is generally
acquired in two (2) ways:
Your Stronghold produces energy as indicated by its Energy Production ( ) value .

Resource Attachments added to your Stronghold increase energy output as indicated by its
Energy Production ( ) value.
Energy produced from your Stronghold and Resource Attachments is use or lose, meaning that it does
not carry over from turn to turn and is cleared from the pool at the end of each turn.
At the start of a turn, both players total up the amount of energy production of all their Stronghold and
Attachment cards and add that amount to their respective available energy pool.
NOTE: Energy is only produced at the start of the turn. Energy from
recently played attachments is not available until the start of the next
full turn.
Basic Card Requirements

To play a TEK, Super Weapon, OPS or Attachment card, one must satisfy two requirements:
The player must expend the appropriate amount of Energy ( ) from their Energy Pools.
The player must assure that they have met the appropriate Technology Requirement for playing
the card. As long as there are an equal or greater amount of TEKs under that players control to
match the number on the card, that card may be played. Unlike Energy, TEKs are not
expended.
Example: To play an OPS card with a cost of five: and a requirement of three: First, search through
your OPS deck for the desired card, then make sure you have the minimum number of TEK cards in play
under your control. Afterwards, expend the five required Energy from your Energy Pool and put it on the
Stack for resolution.
Note: Not all cards from the TEK deck are TEK cards. Only cards that
are of the TEK Subtype count for TEK requirements.
With the exception of OPS, all cards can only be played during one of your Sub-phases. You cannot play
a Unit, TEK, Super Weapon or Attachment card during an Opponents Sub-phase. All cards with
Offensive and Defensive stats, (
) enter play with their respective stats at its printed value
10
unless effected by another ability.

If energy is expended but no card is played (such as OPS that has been nullified,) it is simply lost.
If a card is in play that would lessen the requirements to play another card from a deck, that cost is
considered a Modified Cost. A cards modified cost may not be reduced below zero (0).
11
Unit Supply Cap and Turn Entry

Units, in addition to their requirements, have special limitations depending on their Subtype. Just as
with TEK requirements for other card types, players wishing to play a Unit will make several checks
before playing a Unit card.
SUPPLY
- Each Faction has a limited amount of resources to help fuel and feed their army. This limits
the amount of Units a player may have in play at one time.

Faction
Ancients
Humans
Machines
Supply Cap
10
11
12
TURN ENTRY
- Each Unit Subtype, in addition to their Supply Cost, also as a limit as to which turn it
can be played.
Unit Subtype
Supply Cost
Turn of Entry
Infantry
Tank
Jet
Rig
Dreadnought
Mothership
Super Weapon
Tokens
0
0
(N/A)
(N/A)
(Regardless of
Subtype)
Whereas Infantry are rather cheap and can be built the very first turn, deadlier Units such as Jets and
Motherships take more time to develop, as well as drain much more from your Supply.
Keep in mind that the Unit Supply Cost and Unit Turn of Entry are different.
Supply Example 1: If you have 1 Jet (4 Supply), 1
Dreadnought (5 Supply) and 1 Infantry (1
Supply) in play, you are using 10 Supply.
Supply Example 2: If you have 2 Tanks (3 Supply

Each), 1 Jet (4 Supply) and 1 Infantry (1 Supply)
in play, you are using 11 Supply.
Of course dead or missing Units no longer require Supply. When a Unit leaves play for any reason (such
12
as being removed from play), the Supply for that player is lowered by that Units Supply Cost.
During End of Turn resolutions, if a player is over their Supply Cap, they must choose Units to return to
their WAR deck until the Supply Cost for all Units under your control is equal or less than their respective
Factions Supply Cap.
Token Units, Commanders and Super Weapons, regardless of Subtype, do not count towards your
Supply Cap.
Starting a Standard Game

Each player starts a Standard Game with the following in their respective Stronghold Vector:
1 Commander
1 Stronghold
1 Resource Attachment with a of 0
1 TEK with an cost of 3 or less.
The first resource attachment and TEK do not count towards the turns Production Action limit as they
are in play before the first turn.
The Resource Attachment does add its energy production to the energy pool as it was in play before the
start of the first turn.
Most Purge Decks consist of a number of TEK options with a cost of 3 or less. When starting a game,
you may choose any one (1) of these to begin the game. Which you choose will be up to you, depending
upon your play style or the opposition you face. This gives each Faction deck different strategic options
before even the very turn!
Both Players then check their Commanders initiative and the player with the highest takes the first Subphase.
13
Anatomy of a Turn
Beginning a Turn
At the beginning of each turn, energy from each Players Resource Attachments and Strongholds are
added to their respective Energy Pools. Simultaneously, Production Actions for each Player are raised
back to their maximum limit (with a starting limit of 3).
After energy and Production Actions are replenished, both players check which of their Commanders
have the highest Initiative value ( ), with the highest then taking the first Sub-phase. If both
Commanders have the same , flip a coin to see who goes first.
Note: If both Commanders are dead at the start of a turn, the player
who went first last turn gets to take the first Sub-phase.
Player Sub-phases
Players are allowed one (1) of the following actions during each of their Sub-phases:
Turn Actions
Move your Commander and/or any number of Units from one (1) Friendly Vector to another.
Initiate a Battle Instance by targeting a Vector
Play a Super Weapon
Pass (do nothing)
Production Actions
(maximum of 3 per turn.)
Play a Unit
Play a Resource or Defensive Attachment
Play a TEK (limited to 1 per turn)
14
Once a player has taken an action, their Sub-phase is complete and then the next player may use their
Sub-phase. This process is repeated until both players choose to pass consecutively. Once both players
perform a Pass action consecutively, the End of Turn resolutions are resolved and a new turn begins.
If Player A chooses to pass, and Player B then chooses to take another action, Player A can then make
another action on the next Sub-phase. A player is never locked into passing.
Note: If youve had your action interrupted (by a nullify or cancel
effect), your Sub-phase is complete because you have still used your
allotted action, even if it was unsuccessful.
Responding to Actions
During any action, (such as playing a Unit during a Production Action) the Opponent will have a moment
to respond by using abilities on a Unit, Commander or TEK under their control, or by playing an OPS
card. If the Opponent chooses not to respond, the card resolves normally and enters play. If the
Opponent does respond, the response goes on the Stack, and then the player can respond to that
response! (See Stack Resolution.)
15
End of Turn Resolutions

Once both players pass consecutively, several effects resolve immediately and simultaneously.
Remaining Energy is drained from each players Energy Pool.

All Triggered, Activated and Floating Effects end, unless they are Permanent.
All Token Units are removed from game.
If a player is over their Supply Cap, they return Units to their WAR deck until they are equal to or
under their Factions Supply Cap limit.
All offensive stats are returned to their maximum value.
Units and Commanders who are in their respective Stronghold Vectors have their health return
to their maximum value.
Note: Players may not respond to End of Turn Resolutions.
Sub-phase Actions
During a full turn, players may play any number of Sub-phases, alternating between players until they
both pass consecutively. During their Sub-phase, players may choose to take one (1) of two different
types of actions.
Turn Actions
During a players Sub-phase, they may use a Turn Action to do one (1) of the following:
Move Units and Commanders may move between their Stronghold Vector and the Field Vector as a
Turn Action. A player may use any (or all) of their Sub-phases to move Units or Commanders from one
adjacent Vector to another.
Movement Turn Actions may only be used to move one group of Units to the same Vector. A player may
not move two different groups of Units in the same Movement Turn Action.
You may not use a Turn Action to move into your Opponents Stronghold Vector. To move onto an
Opponents Stronghold Vector, you must first initiate a Battle Instance. (See Below.)
Initiate Battle Instance - Players may choose to initiate a Battle Instance by targeting a Vector that
is populated by the Opponents Commander, Enemy Units or the Opponents Stronghold (or any
combination thereof.) As a portion of the Battle Instance, they may first move a group of their Units
16
and/or their Commander from an adjacent Vector into the targeted Vector. (See Battle Instance.)
Play a Super Weapon - Super Weapons take ages to develop, and as such they are said to be in
development the entire game. Playing a Super Weapon does not take up a Production Action. They do,
however, have rather stiff
and
requirements.
Pass - Players are never forced to take an action if they do not choose to do so. The turn ends when
both players decide to Pass consecutively.
Production Actions
The industrial war machine is in full effect, but even the greatest factories cant keep up with demand.
At the start of the game, players are limited to a maximum of three (3) Production Actions per turn.
Productions Actions include:
Playing a Unit
Playing a Stronghold Attachment
Playing a TEK. (Limit one (1) per Turn)
Using a single Production Action takes a full Sub-phase.

Though playing TEKs counts as one of a players 3 Production Actions, only one (1) TEK may be played per
turn.
NOTE: Just because a card comes from your TEK deck, doesnt mean
that it qualifies for the 1 TEK per turn restriction (like Super Weapons or
Defensive Attachments, for example.) Only card with the Subtype of
TEK count as fulfilling your 1 TEK per turn limit.
17
Playing Cards
Like all Production Actions, playing Units, TEKs, Attachments or Super Weapons takes up an entire Subphase, but the requirements for each are different.
To Play a Unit:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Have at least one (1) Production Action remaining.

Expend the appropriate amount of energy for the Unit they wish to play.
Assure that the Unit is not played before the appropriate turn, based on the Subtype.
Assure that the Supply of the Unit will not cause them to exceed the Supply Cap for your
Faction.
Once all the above is determined to be satisfied, 1 Production Action is expended, requisite modifiedenergy cost is drained from that players Energy Pool and the Unit card is put into play. Supply Cap is
then raised by the Units respective Supply Cost for the Player who played the Unit.
Units are played in their Stronghold Vector and can participate in Battle Instances the same turn they
enter play.
To Play a TEK:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Have at least one (1) Production Action remaining.

Expend the appropriate amount of energy for the TEK they wish to play.
Assure the TEK requirement has been met.
Assure that they have not played a TEK previously this turn.
Put TEK card into play at Stronghold Vector. Production Actions and energy expended this
way are lost.
Abilities associated with TEKS, Passive or Active, resolve or are made available for resolution as soon as
the TEK enters play.
To Play an Attachment:
1. Have at least one (1) Production Action remaining.
2. Expend the appropriate amount of energy for the Attachment they wish to play.
3. Assure the TEK requirement has been met.
Energy from newly played Resource Attachments is not available for use until the beginning of the next
turn.
18
To Play an OPS card:

1.
2.
3.
4.
Expend the appropriate amount of energy for the OPS they wish to play.
Assure the TEK requirement has been met.
Assure that your Commander is in play.
The OPS has a legal target for resolution.
Playing OPS do not take up a Sub-phase. Instead, OPS cards can be played at any time, so long as you
meet their requirements.
If all requirements are satisfied, the player declares the targets of the OPS card (if any) and puts the card
on the Stack for resolution. If an OPS card that is on the Stack seeks to resolve but no longer has a valid
target, it will be discarded without effect. The energy is still expended, however.
Example: an OPS card which targets a Unit participating in a Battle Instance will fail if the targeted
Unit were to be removed from the Battle Instance by another effect due to it no longer having a valid
target.
If an effect would kill a Commander while an OPS card is on the Stack, the OPS card resolves normally.
To Play a Super Weapon:
1. Expend the appropriate amount of energy for the Super Weapon they wish to play.
2. Assure the TEK requirement has been met.
3. Assure any other requirements based on the type of Super Weapon (if applicable.)
Putting the Super Weapon into Play:
1. Drain the requisite modified- cost of the Super Weapon from your Energy Pool.
2. Put the desired Super Weapon card into play at your Stronghold Vector.
Super Weapons with a Subtype of Unit, TEK or Attachment are played similarly to its respective Subtype.
A Super Weapon-Unit is played as a Unit and must follow all the rules associated with the playing of a
Unit card. Super Weapons, however, do not count towards your Supply Cap and playing a Super
Weapon is never considered a Production Action.
Super Weapons that do not have a Subtype remain in your Stronghold Vector as if they were TEK cards.
Card Effects- Card effects may override the rules. During those occasions when a card seeks to break
the rules found in this rules sheet, always defer to the card.
Example: The special ability for Jets to attack from any Vector countermands the requirement for Units
to move into the enemies Stronghold Vector only from an adjacent Vector.
19
Battle Instances
To Initiate a Battle Instance:

1. Declare a Battle Instance targeting a Vector at the start of your Sub-phase.
2. Move your Commander and/or any number of your Units from adjacent Vectors into the
targeted Vector.
3. Declare which of your Units/Commander within that Vector that are going to be included in
the Battle Instance.
4. Battle begins.
Note: All Friendly Units moving into an Opponents Stronghold Vector must be included in the ensuing
Battle Instance.
Declaring a Battle Instance

Players declare Battle Instances targeting a Vector that has at least one enemy Unit, Commander or
Stronghold present.
Moving During a Battle Instance

After declaring a Battle Instance, the attacking player may move any number of Units/Commanders they
control into the targeted Vector from an adjacent Vector. This movement is considered to be a portion
of the Battle Instance itself and not a separate Turn Action.
Jets are the only Units that can move to join the attacking force from non-adjacent Vectors. If a player
chooses to move a Jet from a non-adjacent Vector, they may still move other Units and/or Commanders
from an adjacent Vector as a part of this Battle Instance.
Players may also move Units/Commanders into the target Vector even if they have no intention of using
them during this Battle Instance.
Note: At no time can you move a Unit or Commander an Opponent
controls unless an ability or effect says otherwise.
20
Choosing Units for a Battle Instance

After moving, the attacking player chooses which of their Units/Commanders within the targeted Vector
they want to include in the Battle Instance. The Units/Commanders that they chose to move as a part of
this Battle Instance do not have to be included in the Battle Instance. This opens strategic options for
the attacking player as they choose which Units/Commanders to risk during the attack, and which Units
simply move into position for later.
When moving into an opposing Stronghold Vector, all moved Units/Commanders must participate in the
ensuing Battle Instance.
Even though the attacking player gets to choose which of their Units/Commanders to include in the
Battle Instance, all defensive Units, Commanders and Strongholds residing in the targeted Vector must
be included in a Battle Instance as the Defenders.
Example: Both player A and player B have 2 Units in the Field Vector. Player A declares a Battle Instance
on the Field Vector before choosing 3 of their Units to move from their Stronghold Vector into the Field
Vector. Player A then chooses 4 of his 5 available Units to participate in this Battle Instance. Both of
player Bs Units are automatically included.
Attacker Rule - The player that initiated the Battle Instance makes the first Battle Action.
Note: After a player declares a Battle Instance, any movement prior to
the Battle Actions must move Units to the targeted Vector as a portion
of that Battle Instance. Units cannot move away from a Battle Instance
until they either retreat using a Battle Action, or Fall Back during Battle
Resolution.
Battle Actions
Just like the Sub-phases of a turn, Battle Actions are taken in a back-and-forth fashion between players.
Starting with the attacking player, players choose to execute one (1) of several different Battle Actions
until all sources have exhausted their attacks, have been destroyed, have retreated, or both players Pass
consecutively.
The following are considered Battle Actions:
Attack
Retreat
Pass
21
Attack
Units, Commanders and Defensive Attachments have a number of attacks ( ) available to them. This
represents how many attacks they can make per turn. During a Battle Instance, if a
Unit/Commander/Defensive Attachment has at least 1
remaining, the player may choose to use this
attack to target any enemy Unit or Commander within the Battle Instance, (though attacking
Strongholds has special limitations. See Abilities and Limitations.)
To use an attack, the player lowers that Units
by 1, then targets a legal Enemy
Unit/Commander/Stronghold within the Battle Instance and places their attack on the Stack to resolve.
When the attack is resolved, that Units/Commanders/Strongholds damage ( ) value is reduced by
the targets armor ( ) value. Any
remaining then reduces the targets health ( ). If the targets
falls below 1, then a Rulebook Effect is placed on the Stack to destroy that target.
Retreat
If, during a Battle Instance, a player may find that it may be best to initiate a tactical retreat. During that
players Battle Action, they may have a single Unit/Commander suffer -1
(Units/Commanders with
zero remaining
stay at zero ) and move it into the nearest Friendly Vector. Units/Commanders
retreating from a Battle Instance in the Field Vector retreat to the nearest, adjacent Friendly Vector,
which would be their Stronghold Vector.
Retreating Units or Commanders may indeed be moving into Vectors that already have Enemy Units
present, but at least they are safe from the current Battle Instance. This retreat may prove problematic
for them if another Battle Instance erupts later on.
Defensive Attachments are static and therefore cannot retreat.
Note: Retreating is a Battle Action that removes a Unit or Commander
from a Battle Instance and places them in the nearest Friendly Vector.
Falling Back is when surviving Units and Commanders move to the
nearest Friendly Vector after a Battle Instance. Falling Back is not a
Battle Action because it takes place after a Battle Instance.
Pass
Players may choose to pass as a Battle Action. Like passing during a Sub-phase, the player is free to
choose another Action after their Opponents next Battle Action.
22
Keeping Track of Attack and Damage Values

Seeing as how each Unit and Commander has a limited amount of Attacks and Health, players will want
to keep track of which Units/Commanders have been damaged and which Units/Commanders have
exhausted their attacks. Some players use dice or counters to keep track of the values, while others turn
cards sideways to show that their attacks have been exhausted. You may use any method you wish.
Cards Destroyed by Combat or Damage Effects

If a card has its
reduced to zero (0), a Rulebook Effect immediately resolves and that
Unit/Commander is put into the WAR discard pile.
Similarly, if a Stronghold has its
and that player loses the game!
reduced to zero (0), a Rulebook Effect goes on the Stack and resolves
Battle Resolution
A Battle Instance ends when any of the following events occur:
1. Both Players choose a Pass Action consecutively
2. All Unit/Commander/Defensive Attachments have their
3. All Units/Commanders are destroyed or have Retreated
reduced to zero (0)
Units and Commanders cannot reside in their Opponents Stronghold Vector after a Battle Instance. If
the Battle Instance was declared on a Stronghold Vector, any surviving Units/Commanders that still
reside within an Opponents Stronghold Vector must Fall Back to the nearest Friendly Vector.
23
Battle Example:
The Ancient player has decided to attack the Machine player on the Field Vector.
(For the sake of this example neither Chronometry nor Memory Metal has been unlocked.)
At the beginning of this attack, you have all Units at full capacity:
Attacker A: 2
Attacker B: 2
1) Attacker A uses one of its

The defending Unit has 1
to do 3
Defender: 2
10
to the Defender.
, so only two
gets through, lowering its health to 8
Now it is then the Machine players turn to take a Battle Action.

Attacker A: 1
2)
Attacker B: 2
Defender: 2
The Machine player knows it does not have to suffer all 4 of the Ancient players attacks if it can
concentrate its efforts on Attacker B. The Machine player uses its first
on Attacker B, doing a total of
3
to it (4
- 1 .)
Attacker A: 1
Attacker B: 2
Defender: 1
3) The Ancient player doesnt want to see Attacker B killed without getting at least 1 attack in, so it uses
one of Attacker Bs
to do another 2
to the Defender, (3
- 1 ) lowering the defender to 6 .
Attacker A: 1
Attacker B: 1
Defender: 1
24
4) Now that Attacker B has only 2 remaining, the Defender attacks Attacker B, using its last
to do a
total of 3
to Attacker B, bringing it to 0 health. The Ancient player allows the Rulebook Effect to
resolve without response, and Attacker B is put into the WAR discard pile
Attacker A: 1
Attacker B: (Discarded)
5) The Ancient player uses Attacker As last remaining
Defender: 0
to do 2
to the Defender (3
- 2 .)
After the Battle Instance, you have:

Attacker A: 0
Attacker B: (Discarded)
Defender: 0
Alternately, either player could have used one of their Battle Actions to have one (1) of their Units
retreat to the nearest Friendly Vector (being their Stronghold Vectors.) If they would have done so, that
Unit would have suffered -1 if any were remaining.
During Battle Resolution, the Defending chooses to have their Unit Fall Back to their Stronghold Vector,
while the Attacking player chooses to leave Attacker A in the Field Vector to continue the pressure on
the Machine player.
Both Attacker A and Defender have exhausted their available , so they will not be able to attack for
the rest of the turn. They can still be roped into Battle Instances later this turn if not properly managed,
however.
ABILITIES and LIMITATIONS

Armor Maximum- Units, Super Weapons, Strongholds and Commanders have a
three (3). Effects which grant +
stated.
maximum cap of
cannot raise this value above the maximum of 3 unless otherwise
Offensive Stats Regeneration - Offensive stats (
) on all cards return to their normal values
during End of Turn resolution regardless of its location or card type.
Health Regeneration- Unlike Offensive stats, Health values (
) do not return to its normal values
at the end of turn unless the card is in its respective owners Stronghold Vector during End of Turn
resolutions.
Stronghold Max Population - Effects that would raise a Strongholds
value above its maximum
value (usually the amount listed on the card itself) raises it only to the maximum value.
25
Zero Attacks (0 ) If a Unit, Commander or Defensive Attachment has exhausted all of its
, or
have had their

value reduced to 0 for any other reason, they may not make attacks until their attack
value has been replenished. Even with zero , sources still possess their abilities, and can still be
included in Battle Instances for other reasons.
Attacking/Defending Strongholds
Ground Units in their Stronghold Vector are said to be
defending that Stronghold. Players may only attack Strongholds when all non-Jet Units are removed
from the Battle Instance. Commanders do not prevent attacks on Strongholds.
OPS cards targeting Strongholds for damage, either during or outside of a Battle Instance, resolve as
normal. This is not considered attacking the Stronghold.
Defensive Attachment Rule - Defensive Attachments may not be targeted for attack during Battle
Instances. Defensive Attachments are considered a portion of the Stronghold, and as such cannot leave
the Stronghold Vector for any reason (such as during movement, Falling Back or Retreating.) Effects that
would target Units or Commanders (Global, Target Specific, Card-Type Specific, Event Specific, Text
Specific or Vector Specific) do not resolve against Defensive Attachments.
Multiple Subtypes - Cards may exist with multiple Subtypes. If this is the case, they can be targeted
by effects and abilities that target either of their Subtypes.
Tokens(Units) Tokens are special Units that are created from OPS cards and other effects. They
have several considerations.
Tokens are made from Units & Commanders in play. Tokens have all the abilities and Subtypes
of the Unit/Commander it was created from.
Tokens are removed from the game both when they are destroyed, and during End of Turn
resolution.
Tokens of Commanders are considered Infantry sub-type Units unless otherwise stated.
Tokens do not count towards a players Supply Cap.
Example: A Token of a Tank Unit may not be targeted by an action that would normally only target
Infantry Units. The Token Tank would receive the passive bonus All Tanks you control get +1 ,
however.
Tokens(Non-Units) Effects may
create Tokens of different types on cards to designate certain
values, such as countdown, ammunition, or other variables as stated by the card. These are not
removed from play during End of Turn resolution.
Example: The Red Hand Super Weapon enters play with 1 Token that reduces the Opponents Stronghold
by that amount. This Token is not removed at the End of Turn resolutions, and doubles at the
26
beginning of each new turn.
Jets - Units with the Jet Subtype have special abilities and limitations. A Jet can join in a Battle Instance
from a non-adjacent Vector. For example, if you have 3 Units/Commanders that are in the Field Vector
you wish to use to attack on an Opponents Stronghold Vector, a Jet currently in your Stronghold Vector
may also join them as part of that Battle Instance movement.
Jets can only be targeted, either by abilities or attacks, by other Jets unless a card specifically has an
ability that allows them to so.
Like Commanders, Jets do not block your Opponents from targeting your Stronghold the way other
Units do. If the only Units you have in your Stronghold Vector are Jets, the attacking player has the
option of attacking your Jet (if they have Jets or Units that allow them to do so) OR they may attack your
Stronghold. They may also alternate between both if they so choose.
Note: Jets may only move to non-adjacent Vectors when moving as part
of a Battle Instance, and only before the first Battle Action. Jets retreat,
Fall Back, and move during Turn Actions to adjacent Vectors like regular
Units.
Abilities and the Stack
- Just like OPS cards, abilities are put onto the Stack to be resolved in a last
in, first out fashion.
Resurrecting Discarded Units Units that are discarded from the WAR deck for any reason are
not eligible to be put back into play under resurrection effects (Fractal Repairs ability, etc).
Ability and Effect Durations

Some effects and abilities last longer than others.
Instant- Some effects occur instantly and have no lingering effects.

End of Sub-phase/End of Battle Instance- These effects end as soon as the next
player begins their Sub-phase.
End of Turn- Many abilities may only be activated once per turn, so use them
wisely. Floating Effects resolve at End of Turn resolution as well.
Permanent- These effects last for the rest of the game.
27
Stack Resolution:
So in the above example play and resolution would be as follows:

Player A plays an OPS card.
Player B responds with a TEK Ability.
Player A responds by activating one of their Units Abilities.
Player B responds with an OPS card.
Player A passes.
Before resolution, Player B then activates one of their Units Abilities.
Player A then activates their Commander Ability.
Player B passes.
Player A passes.
After both players pass, the cards resolve in inverse order.
If either player wanted to interrupt the resolution of a particular card, they are allowed to do so. Their
Opponent would then be able to respond in kind.
28
Note: The graphic above shows Unit cards as if they were a portion of a
literal stack of cards. There is no requirement to move
Units/Commanders to correspond to a pile of cards in order for it to be
considered part of a Stack (though you may choose to do so to assure
appropriate resolution.)
Unit and Commander Abilities

Note: Abilities and card effects stated on Units/Commanders may not
be used or activated from the discard pile (exception: Resurrection
Effect).
Unlocked Abilities- (requires TEKs to Unlock):
Chronometry- Units/Commanders damaged by a source with Chronometry suffer -1
considered a Floating Effect.
. This is
Clone DNA- OPT (once per turn): Resurrect Eva X at your Stronghold. Resurrection effects can be played
from the Discard pile.
Composite Armor (x) Sources with this ability have damage dealt by abilities and OPS cards reduced by
(x).
Critical Mass- Sources with this ability always do at least 1
any ability that would prevent the damage.
on attacks regardless of the targets
or
In addition, Sources with Critical Mass also cannot be removed from the game by OPS or ability effects.
They may still be targeted by damage effects, however.
Cumulative- In addition to its normal effects, this card has the following passive effect OPS cards cost
you +1 to play until the end of turn. Cumulative is considered a Floating Effect that is triggered once
a player seeks to pay an OPS cards cost.
Entrenched- Sources with the Entrenched ability ignore the Attacker Rule and get to make the first
attack during a Battle Instance as long as the card with Entrenched is the defender in a Battle Instance.
This ability may only be activated by 1 card at a time and only once per Battle Instance.
Fractal Repair (x)- Pay (x): Resurrect a Unit/Commander with this ability at your Stronghold. This effect
does not count as a Production Action and is not considered a Floating Effect. Fractal Repair can be
activated from the discard pile.
29
Fury- Sources with the Fury ability gain +1
when they are the Attackers in a Battle Instance.
Irradiate: OPT: Deal X

to target Unit, where X equals the maximum
subtracted from the current
of the source with Irradiate.
Example: A Unit with Irradiate has a maximum
value of 5, but has taken 3 damage that turn. If
activated, Irradiate would do 3
to the target Unit.
Memory Metal- Whenever a Source with this ability is damaged by an attack, it gains +1 as a Floating
Effect. Sources with Memory Metal also have their maximum cap increased to 4. This effect is
cumulative as a Floating Effect, but cannot raise a Unit/Commanders above 4.
Pyrite Rounds- Units and Commanders damaged by a source with Pyrite Rounds have their
by 1 . This effect is cumulative and is considered a Floating Effect.
reduced
Stated Abilities (Does not Require TEKs to Unlock)

Cloaking- Sources with Cloaking cannot be targeted by OPS cards, TEK cards and triggered abilities your
Opponent controls. They may still be attacked normally.
Defender- Sources with this ability gain +2
when they are the Defenders in a Battle Instance. During
the Battle Instance, if the Unit/Commander has had its life reduced to below 3, it will die after the battle
once the Defender effect resolves.
Flux- OPT: You may Regenerate X
on this card by moving X
to another of your cards with the Flux
ability.
moved in this way may not exceed the target sources . The source activating the Flux
ability does not have to be in the same vector as the source receiving transferred
.
Jet- Units with the Jet Subtype may be chosen to participate in Battle Instances from non-adjacent
Vectors during Battle Instance movement. Jets can make attacks on the Opponents Stronghold Vector
even if you have no other Units/Commanders within the Field Vector. Jets may only be targeted by
other Jets by attacks and abilities unless an ability says otherwise. Jets you control within your
Stronghold Vector do not prevent attacks from targeting your Stronghold.
Tactician- Sources with Tactician can be placed atop another card you control to Overlay that card.
When Overlain, the Tactician Unit/Commander adds its own Attack and Defensive Stats, as well as any
other abilities it possesses, to the card it Overlays. A source with the Tactician ability is not considered a
target and cannot be targeted by any effect (Global, Target Specific, Card-Type Specific, Event Specific,
Text Specific or Vector Specific). The Tactician Overlay effect does not end at the end of turn and is not
considered a Floating Effect. Tacticians may participate in Battle Instances only when Overlaying another
card.
