==== Choice of Weapon ====
 +
 +
The active player selects a combat: a profile from his active
 +
unit (the attackers) against a profile from the enemy
 +
unit (the defenders). The attackers corresponding to this
 +
profile strike the defenders with whom they are in contact.
 +
 +
Important: ''Any special fighter (leader, standard
 +
bearer, musician, mystic, etc.) is grouped with the troops
 +
of his unit as long as he shares the same characteristics.''
 +
 +
Each attacker has a number of combat dice printed on his
 +
card. These dice are used for the whole mêlée and need to
 +
be split between the different combats where applicable.
 +
If an attacker is going to be involved in several successive
 +
combats, the player chooses how many dice he attributes to
 +
the current combat. He may decide to not to use any; in this
 +
case the attacker does not participate in this combat.
 +
 +
==== Hand to hand attack test ====
 +
 +
The active player rolls the attackers’ combat dice. The action
 +
value is the Attack value of his fighters, the difficulty
 +
is the defenders’ Defense. Each success is a hit. With a little
 +
luck, it is possible to score more hits than combat dice!
 +
 +
==== Strength Test ====
 +
 +
The active player rolls one die per hit. The action value
 +
is the attackers’ Strength, the difficulty is the defenders’
 +
Resilience. Each success inflicts one damage point on the
 +
defenders. It is possible to inflict more damage points than
 +
hits obtained!
 +
 +
==== Removal of the Losses ====
 +
 +
The active player attributes the damage points to the
 +
defenders in contact with his attackers, eliminating as
 +
many enemies as possible. The eliminated fighters are removed
 +
from the game. The combat is over. The active player then resolves the
 +
next combat starting from step 1. The unit’s activation is over.
 +
 +
===Control Phase===
 +
 +
During the control phase, each player evaluates the situation
 +
of his company on the battlefi eld. Th e player determines
 +
which objectives he controls and collects the Elixir indispensable
 +
for his Incarnates. He performs the following actions in
 +
the order below:
 +
*1/ Calculation of faith points and mana points
 +
*2/ Maintenance of eff ects
 +
*3/ Collection of Elixir
 +
*4/ Time out
 +
 +
The player who won the Authority opposition resolves the
 +
entire control phase first.
 +
 +
== Maintenance of effects ==
 +
 +
Some game eff ects may last from one round to the next.
 +
Starting with the winner of the Authority opposition, the players
 +
manage these eff ects during the control phase, in the following
 +
order:
 +
*Costs: Some effects require the spending of faith points or
 +
mana points to last from one round to the next.
 +
*Negative eff ects: The players resolve the effects that handicap or threaten to eliminate fighters;
 +
*Abilities: The players resolve the effects linked to abilities;
 +
*Resurrection and reinforcements: The players resolve the effects that allow a fighter to come back on to (resurrection), or to
 +
enter (reinforcements),the battlefield.
 +
 +
== Collection of Elixir ==
 +
 +
In Confrontation, companies do not fight just to take
 +
control of cities or strategic routes. The Incarnates who
 +
lead them into battle are guided by the gods. These heroes
 +
fight to collect their Elixir, fragments of their soul tying
 +
them to their god, allowing them to wield supernatural
 +
powers and to achieve their fate.
 +
Each battle of Confrontation details the objectives present
 +
on the battlefield. During the collection of the Elixir,
 +
each player determines the objectives he controls.
 +
An objective is controlled by the player who has the
 +
greatest total Power (see p. 81) within 10 cm. Fighters in
 +
rout do not count towards this total. In case of a tie, no one
 +
controls the objective. An objective remains under control
 +
until the next control phase, even when the control conditions
 +
are not fulfilled anymore.
 +
Each player obtains the number of Elixir points corresponding
 +
to the objectives they control (these numbers are
 +
indicated by the war council). The Elixir points are used to
 +
spark the Incarnates’ powers and to win the battle.
 +
Once a player has reached the number of Elixir points
 +
indicated by the war council, he wins the game.
 +
 +
== Time Out ==
 +
Th is step simply marks the end of the round and the passage
 +
to the next one.
 +
 +
===Morale===
 +
 +
Strategy alone is not enough to win a battle. Th e bravery of
 +
the fi ghters or their chances of scaring the enemy away are
 +
also crucial.
 +
A unit’s morale is defi ned by one of two states: by default,
 +
fi ghters are valiant. When things turn sour, they are in rout
 +
and tend to run for the hills. Courage tests and Fear tests determine
 +
when and how a unit’s state changes.
 +
To support its soldiers in combat, each company can include
 +
Incarnates and war staff s. Th eir presence helps to keep
 +
the units valiant throughout the battle.
 +
 +
==Courage and Fear==
 +
 +
Because of their size, their reputation or their supernatural
 +
aspect, some fi ghters can frighten their opponents. Th e presence
 +
of such warriors may aff ect the course of combats and
 +
the outcome of mêlées.
 +
Th is icon indicates Courage. Fighters with this symbol
 +
on their card are said to be courageous.
 +
Th is icon indicates Fear. Fighters with this symbol on
 +
their card are said to be frightening.
 +
Frightening fi ghters use their Fear value to resolve any
 +
Courage tests they may have to make. All the rules that apply
 +
to Courage also apply to Fear. However, frightening fi ghters
 +
can also terrorize their opponents and rout them.
 +
 +
'''Courage Test'''
 +
 +
A valiant unit is forced to take a Courage test in either of the
 +
following circumstances:
 +
 +
*During its activation: If the unit has fallen to below half
 +
the number of members it started with. In this case, the diffi
 +
culty of the test is 1. Incarnates and familiars are members
 +
of a unit. Th e diffi culty may be increased by two aggravating
 +
factors:
 +
 +
+ 2 if the unit is engaged with units with a greater Power;
 +
 +
+ 2 if the unit is engaged with a frightening unit.
 +
 +
*During an assault involving a frightening unit: Th e diffi
 +
culty is equal to the highest Fear value in the frightening unit.
 +
 +
During an assault involving two frightening units, only the
 +
one with the lowest Fear rolls the Courage test. If it is a tie, no
 +
Courage test is rolled.
 +
 +
Th e action value is the highest Courage.
 +
When a unit fails its Courage test it is in rout.
 +
Units in rout never need to take Courage tests, with the exception
 +
of rallying tests.
