PROLOGUE
2004
As word spread via the Internet, battle reports began
coming in about the games that people were playing with
CR. World War 2, dark future, and police actions were
common but there were also the American Civil War
games, Star Wars (you all understand I didnt write Star
Wars, right?), hard core sci-fi, gangsters of the 20s, and
much more. It quickly became apparent that you could
adapt CR for almost any period where modern firearms
were used.
2014
NUTS! Final Version has caused a dilemma. There are a
few things in it that really make the THW mechanics
work even better. Not big changes, just a few minor ones.
Im not about to issue new editions of the current books,
the ones with the CR 3 mechanics but I want to get the
changes to everyone and free. Thats what this book is
doing. Theres a little tweaking to the In Sight and
streamlining of the Reaction Tests.
2008
By now Two Hour Wargames was up to twenty plus titles
from a variety of authors covering a variety of periods
from ancient warfare to the conflict in Vietnam, as well as
fantasy and sci-fi titles. Whereas CR 2.0 was a generic set
of rules that covered many periods in a light way the other
titles are detailed and focused specifically to bring the
flavor of that period to life.
2009
With all the exposure and questions generated by CR 2.0
it became obvious that the rules were reaching a much
larger audience than before. But the jump in mechanics
from CR 2.0 to current THW products was so dramatic
that it became apparent to me that CR 2.0 needed a
facelift.

INTRODUCTION
NEEDED TO PLAY
THE DICE
WORD OF ADVICE
PASSING DICE
This way to use the dice is to roll a number of d6 and
compare each die score individually to the Target
Number. The Target Number can be Reputation (page 5)
or something entirely different.
http://site.twohourwargames.com/forum/index.php
YOUR ROLE
Passing Dice.
Counting Successes.
Possibilities.
Reading and Adding the Dice.
1/2D6.
A score of 1, 2, or 3 is a success.
A score of 4, 5, or 6 is a failure.
BASING FIGURES
Each figure represents one man. The easiest way to base
your figures for Chain Reaction - 3.1 Final Version is one
figure on a round or square base as either style will work.
POSSIBILITIES
When you see numbers in parenthesis, such as (1- 2), this
means there is a chance of that event happening, based on
a 1d6 roll.
DEFINING FACING
1/2D6
When asked to roll a 1/2d6, heres how we do it:
Roll 1d6.
(1 2) = 1.
(3 4) = 2.
(5 6) = 3.
HOW MANY D6
TABLES
Wherever possible all the tables that you will usually use
during the game have been grouped together in the back
of the book on the Quick Reference Sheets also called the
QRS. When reading a section it is recommended that you
review the table in question.
GRUNTS
STOP!
But Stars? That's you. You will see that you have much
more freedom, as in real life, to do what you want, as well
as some distinct advantages that separate you from the
Grunts.
STAR ADVANTAGES
Star Power.
Larger Than Life.
Cheating Death.
Free Will.
STAR POWER
Is it a Star or a Grunt?
What is its Reputation?
What type of Weapon does it have?
STARS
FREE WILL
The last Star Advantage is Free Will. Heres how we do
it:
REPUTATION
Reputation or Rep represents a combination of
experience, morale and motivation. Rep is an expression
of a figures overall fighting quality. Both Stars and
Grunts use Rep. There are three possible starting levels of
Reputation:
CHEATING DEATH
Another Star Advantage is Cheating Death. Heres how
we do it:
WEAPONS
You will start the game with only you, the Star but you
can recruit Grunts to join you. Here's how we do it:
STOP!
Your personal figure is a Star and should start at Rep 5.
All the other figures are Grunts. Stars have four Star
Advantages.
RECRUITING
(Read the result as rolled)
CIRCUMSTANCE
Free Will lets you choose to pass 2d6, 1d6 or 0d6 on your
Crisis Tests and one Recover Test. Which one is it?
GETTING STARTED
This section will explain some of the games that Chain
Reaction can be used for. No matter the time period you
choose, the link to all of them is Chain Reaction is a game
about modern firepower, no muskets allowed!

MODIFIER
You can never have Grunts with a higher Rep than your
own.
GROUPS
GROUP COHESION
A group consists of one or more figures with one being
the group leader. To qualify as a group the following two
requirements must be met.
In this picture we see a four figure group. All of the figures are
within 4" of another figure and LOS.
In this picture the groups from the previous example activate at
the same time and groups A and B move away. As none of the
groups are within 4" of each other the figures are now in three
groups and will activate separately.
In this picture one member of the group has been hit and is no
longer functioning. This could be out of the fight or obviously
dead but as he is not in carry on status, the link between figures
is broken. There are now two groups that will activate
separately.
LEADERS
All groups will always have a Leader. Heres how we do
it:
MULTIPLE LEADERS
In situations where more than one Leader is present only
the Leader Die of the highest Rep is used.
Example I am playing a Military game. A Platoon
Leader joins a group in his platoon. The group will use
his Leader Die as long as he is carrying on (page 14) with
the group. Once he leaves or is disabled, the group
Leader will use his Leader Die.
LEADER FUNCTIONS
All Leaders have two specific functions they will use to
affect their group. Heres how we do it:
STOP!
Groups are formed and disbanded as needed and consist
of multiple figures. The smallest group is one figure.
There is no limit on the maximum as long as they qualify
as a group. What two requirements must be met to be part
of a multi-figure group?
RULES OF WAR
Now lets go over the rules in the order that you will use
them during the game.
TURN SEQUENCE
This system will mean that many times lower Rep figures
will not be able to activate. This reflects their lack of
confidence and hesitancy to engage the enemy. It also
stresses the importance of higher Rep Leaders!
Now that you know the turn sequence we will explain the
rules in the order that they will occur during the game
turn. This may be different than traditional rules but is
much more effective.
ACTIONS
When a figure is active it can voluntarily do one of the
following actions.
OTHER ACTIONS
FIRING
In addition to the previous actions, figures can fire during
the turn at the following times:
MOVEMENT
NORMAL MOVEMENT
FAST MOVE
GOING PRONE
Figures can go prone at any time during their turn. Heres
how we do it:
STOP!
INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT
Figures can be forced into involuntary actions and
movement due to the results of a Reaction Test (page 11).
The possible involuntary actions and moves are as
follows.
10
REACTION
This section covers the heart of the THW system. Its
called the Reaction System. Reaction Tests reflect how a
figure will perform when under physical, mental, or
emotional stress during the fight.
Reaction Tests represent immediate unthinking reactions
to certain events. Here's a real life example. You're in the
kitchen and grab a pot. Its hot and you immediately let
go of it. That's a reaction. Next you grab a towel and then
grab the pot. That's an action.
IN SIGHT
The In Sight Test is a Reaction Test taken differently than
the others. First let's explain the difference between being
In Sight and Out of Sight.
11
The group winning the In Sight will now act, from highest
Rep to lowest. Heres how we do it:
REP
COMPLETED IN SIGHTS
Once all figures have taken the In Sight Test and have
completed their actions, appropriate Reaction Tests are
taken and the active side continues its part of the turn.
STOP!
Take two figures and place them on the table, out of sight
of each other. Both are Rep 4.
Roll 2d6 for Activation. Move the active figure into sight.
Once the In Sight is triggered every figure in the group
can move 2 before the In Sight is taken.
IN SIGHT
Take the In Sight Test for both sides. Did you modify the
number of d6 rolled by the applicable Circumstance? By
the one side being active and moving?
CIRCUMSTANCE
MOD
-1d6
-1d6
Fire.
If the figure cannot fire it will Charge into Melee
if within 6.
If the figure cannot fire or Charge into Melee it
will Duck Back.
Only one side can win the In Sight Test, this is different
than other THW rules. Remember that after the winning
side resolves their actions, the other side will be taking
Reaction Tests.

12
CRISIS TEST
RECOVER TEST
The second Reaction Test is the Crisis Test. There are two
reasons to take the test. They are:
MULTIPLE RESULTS
There may be times when a figure qualifies for more than
one Reaction Test and scores more than one result,
sometimes conflicting. Heres how we do it:
Both are missed and they take a Crisis Test for being fired on.
2d6 are rolled and a 5 and a 3 are scored. As the Leader is
within 4" and part of the group that was fired on he is allowed
to roll one Leader Die. He rolls a 4 and passes 1d6. Adding the
pass 1d6b result means soldier 7 passes 2d6, so returns fire
while soldier 8, due to a lower Rep, returns fire but counts the
Snap Fire penalty.
See the Status and Actions section (page 14) for more
details.
13
Return Fire.
Snap Fire.
Outgunned
Duck Back.
Hunker Down.
Leave the Battlefield.
Out of the Fight.
Obviously Dead.
STOP!
One set of d6 are rolled for each group taking the Crisis
Test but the results are applied to the Reps of each figure
separately. This means that figures in the group may
behave differently.
Take three figures and place them on the table. They are a
Rep 5 Leader, a Rep 4 Ganger and a Rep 3 Ganger. All
three are fired on. The dice are rolled and a 4 is scored for
the Leader Die. The other d6 result in a 4 and 6. Look on
the Crisis Test and see how the three Gangers react.

now roll 1d6 for each target against the Impact of the grenade.
19
MELEE
When figures come into contact they can enter into melee
(hand-to-hand combat).
MELEE WEAPONS
There are two types of hand to hand weapons.
ESCAPING DAMAGE
Any figure, friend or foe, within a blast circle may be
damaged with the following exceptions:
The only way to enter melee, is via the Charge into Melee
Test. Heres how we do it:
STOP!
To shoot you need a clear LOS the target. Roll 1d6 for
each point of Target and add each to the Rep of the
shooter. Arrange the dice from highest to lowest when
firing.

IMPROVING REP
It is possible for you and your group members to improve
Rep based on performance. After each successful
Encounter it is possible that a character can raise his Rep.
All of the following requirements must be met for the
Encounter to be considered a success for that character. It
is possible that an Encounter may be a success for one
character and not another!

Here's a step-by-step outline that will help you to get

DESIGNER NOTES
Chain Reaction is an introduction to the Reaction System
used by Two Hour Wargames. That is why it is so basic
in nature. The other THW games provide much more
detail and period specific flavor.
The Reaction System is not for everyone. You'll find that
you do not have total control of your forces; this isn't
chess. You will often not know what you're facing and
this can lead to unwinnable situations. But you will be
presented with challenges every Encounter and the
tension that comes from uncertainty. But like I said, not
everyone is going to like it.
And thats why we decided to make Chain Reaction free.
