HOW TO PLAY WARANGEL


Each players chooses a race: take the REFERENCE SHEET and the COUNTERS of your favourite race.

Each player chooses 1 MAP, or takes the specific map of choosed race.

In the picture see the three elements each player must have: 1 hexed MAP (here you see Mexico), the REFERENCE SHEET and the COUNTERS of your race.

Each player reads clearly to other players the Reference Sheet of his own Race.

 Each Race starts with 7 FORTRESSES where are hidden own Resource Points.
The RESOURCE POINTS are the key to Victory: in the reality they could be weapons, food, supplies.
All Races start sith 10 Resource Points, secretly hidden in own 7 fortresses.
Each Race starts with a Fortress hiding 3 Value Points, one with 2 and five with 1, as you see in the picture.

VICTORY: Control at the beginning of your turn, 12 Resource Points at least.

This means place own warriors in a number of Fortresses (own and enemies) so that the total of Resource Points hidden in these Fortresses is 12 at least.

WARRIORS Each army is composed by 5 different kind of warriors:
The MASTER, the WarAngel of that Race that represents yourself in the game
The Dominants, similar to the Master
The Warriors of 1st Intermediate Caste
The Warriors of 2nd Intermediate Caste
The Infantry Caste



Place a screen or Warangel Box among Maps, to not see enemy placement. Secretly place your FORTESSES at 6 hexes of distance at least . When adjacent they are at distance 1 so leave free at least 5 hexes as you see in picture.



Each Fortress hides 1 to 3 RESOURCE POINTS. With the Wooden Counters paste the Resource Point number directly under the Fortress woodenblock. You can also hide a warrior under each Fortess, just like you see in the picture.

 Each REFERENCE SHEETS reports an historical background, an illustration and all icons of the warriors, each one provided with all actions and characteristics:

Pow. Power: strenght and skillness in close combat.

Vit. Vitality: number of wounds necessary to defeat the warrior.

Mov. Movement: The Movement Points the warrior may spend to move on different hexes of maps. Each hex has an own cost reported on the rulebook.

Wrs. Warriors: number of warriors of that caste you must place at the beginning of each battle. Always check the updated TOURNAMENT RACES list here on website.

Val. Value: The cost of the warrior and his resistance to particular Mental Weapons.

Spe. Specializations: hexes on maps where the warrior always spends only 1 Movement Points and may RE-FLIP his Destiny Shields, both on offence and on defence.

DESTINY SHIELDS Are the "coins" that substitute dice and tables, designed to have a fast gameplay and a good control on luck factor.
On one side they have a "drop" icon, on other side they are white.
The "drop" usually represents a wound on enemy: the more Shields you flip, the more are possibilities to hit a target.
A warrior with Power 5, flips 5 destiny Shields; a Physical Weapon with Power 3, flips 3 Shields and so on.
So, to defeat a target with Vitality 4, a good attack is with Power 8: with less you are hoping in fortune.

Secretly place your WARRIORS on your map, considering that only passages to invade other maps are the BLUE HOLES. Each one of these Dimensional Doors has their own match on all maps (just imagine to overlay maps to found the matching gates).

No warrior may be placed on a Blue Hole. First player who declare his placement is ready, has the right to move first. When al players declare their placements are ready, remove the screens among maps and begin the battle.

Each Race combats in its own very particular way: each single warrior has its own characteristics, actions, weapons, and terrain specializations. So every single battle will be new and different from the other, always a new game experience.
Here you can find a BATTLE EXAMPLE with two mighty races: Immortals and Redskins.

The Map Collector showing Eagle's Map (USA west with Grand Canyon and California separated by SanAndreas chasm, perfect land for flyers) and Chelates' Map (Iraq, with Tigris and Euphrates rivers and a large sector of desert, specialzation terrain for Chelates' Army).
