Confrontation universe is based on the Confrontation board game. In the recent years there were several versions :
 +
*Confrontation 1
 +
*Confrontation 2
 +
*Confrontation 3
 +
*Confrontation 3.5
 +
*Confrontation 4
 +
 
 +
each represented several changes in the universe. The rules have evolved gradually in fonction of the different versions. Here we propose you the rules of the latest version : Confrontation 4.

Scattered formation is the default formation. Some nations teach their soldiers to take advantage of fighting in close for- mation, which allows them to benefit from additional tactics (see the respective Army Book). Units composed of only one fighter are always in scattered formation.

A unit in contact with an opponent does not need to stay in formation

of rallying tests.
 +
 +
'''Rallying'''
 +
 +
At the beginning of its activation, if the unit is in rout, the
 +
players roll a Courage/Fear test (1) . Th is test is made with the
 +
highest Courage/Fear value in the unit as the action value.
 +
Th e diffi culty of this test can be increased by:
 +
 +
+ 2 if the unit is engaged with a unit with greater Power;
 +
+ 2 if the unit is engaged with a frightening unit.
 +
 +
A unit in rout that successfully passes this test regains their
 +
valiant state. Rallied units are not considered as having resisted
 +
the Fear value that placed them in rout.
 +
 +
Fleeing
 +
 +
When a unit fl ees all of its fi ghters that are in contact with
 +
any enemy fi ghter are eliminated.
 +
A fl eeing unit moves twice its Movement cm towards
 +
the nearest edge of the battlefi eld. It is considered to be in scattered
 +
formation and moves in a straight line, skirting around
 +
terrain and friendly units.
 +
A fl eeing unit is eliminated if:
 +
*At least one of its fi ghters leaves the battlefi eld through one of its edges;
 +
*Its fleeing movement brings the unit in contact with an enemy unit. Th e deserters are intercepted and slaughteredwithout mercy!
 +
 +
== Morale States ==
 +
 +
'''Vallant Unit'''
 +
A valiant unit is ready for battle and acts normally. It is determined
 +
to defeat the enemy, even if it means putting their
 +
own lives in jeopardy.
 +
 +
'''Unit in rout'''
 +
A unit in rout no longer believes victory is possible.
 +
It tries to leave the battlefi eld as quickly as it can.
 +
A unit in rout is subject to the following eff ects:
 +
*The Authority and Attack of its members are equal to 0;
 +
*When the unit is activated it fl ees. It disengages if necessary;
 +
*It cannot use any tactics.
 +
*It cannot shoot or use any mystic eff ects.
 +
However, it recovers its mystic resources as usual.
 +
*It does not count towards the control of objectives.
 +
 +
'''Immune to Fear'''
 +
During an assault a unit automatically succeeds any Courage
 +
test whose diffi culty is lower than or equal to a Fear value
 +
it has already resisted.
 +
 +
==War Staffs ==
 +
 +
A war staff is composed of an Incarnate
 +
accompanied by a standard bearer and/or a
 +
musician. Th e standard bearer and the musician
 +
are identifi ed thanks to their equipment
 +
(standard or musical instrument). A
 +
unit can include only one standard bearer
 +
and one musician.
 +
A war staff including an Incarnate, a musician
 +
and a standard bearer is considered
 +
complete.
 +
 +
'''Effect of a war Staff'''
 +
 +
Units in the same company gain advantages
 +
in presence of a war staff :
 +
*War staff including a standard
 +
bearer: Th e units that can see the standard
 +
can use the Courage, Fear and Authority
 +
values of a war staff to resolve their own
 +
Courage or Authority tests;
 +
*War staff including a musician: Th e
 +
units that are within 30 cm of the musician
 +
can use his tactic;
 +
*Complete war staff : Both eff ects are
 +
cumulated.
 +
 +
A unit can only benefit from the eff ects of a single war staff . If a unit is in a position where it could use
 +
more than one war staff , the player chooses which one to use.
 +
The values shared by the war staff are those the Incarnate
 +
would use if he had to take the test himself – even if these values
 +
are those from the Incarnate of yet another war staff !
 +
Some complete war staff s also give specifi c tactical bonuses
 +
to their unit; these are described in the relevant Army Books.
 +
War staff s that are in rout no longer share Courage, Fear
 +
and Authority values, and none of their possible tactical bonuses
 +
can be used.
 +
 +
'''Commander'''
 +
 +
The companies of the Rag’narok are not led by some chaotic
 +
bunch of Incarnates. Th ey all obey the orders of one individual:
 +
the Commander. He is the Incarnate with the greatest
 +
Authority in the whole company. If there are several possible
 +
Commanders the player may choose which one is the Commander.
 +
Th e Commander gains a special privilege: his unit rolls two
 +
dice to resolve Courage tests.
 +
Th e Authority opposition of the tactical phase is always resolved
 +
using the Authority of the Commander. If his unit is in
 +
rout, his Authority is equal to 0.
 +
When the Commander of a company is eliminated, the
 +
player immediately designates a new Commander (selected in
 +
the same way as the previous one).
