Models, known as Elements, get two action tokens and commanders take it in turn to activate one element and can choose from a number of actions.
To make an attack, the attacker rolls a number of D12s equal to the Element’s Attack rating, and the defender rolls a pool of D12s based on their Defense rating. The attacker’s target number is the range in inches to the defending Element, plus the defender’s Armour rating and any Cover. Rolls of 12 explode, letting each side roll an extra dice for each 12. Any defender’s dice that match the attacker’s dice cancel the dice out. Each group of remaining attacker dice that can be assembled that equal or exceed the target number generate 1 hit, and if the group includes a double, it’s a Critical Hit.
The defender marks the damage on one of the Element’s abilities as well as the main damage track. If there are any Critical Hits, the attacker can choose which ability takes the hits. There are different results for reducing each of the ability tracks ranging from immobility, disabling an element, or even destroying it. If the damage exceeds the remaining number on the main damage track, the element is eliminated.
In addition to the core rules, we’ve also added new content offering a wider range of options for squadrons, heroes, and their flaws, with the inclusion of the Extended Hardware and No Heroes content previously only available in PDF.
