Path To Glory 245 Flashcards
What happens at the end of the fourth and each subsequent battle round?
Roll a dice. On a 1-2, the battle ends. On a 3+, the battle continues for another battle round.
The battle automatically ends after the seventh battle round.
How are deployment instructions modified in a battleplan?
The rules for the deployment phase in the Core Rules are still used, but modified as described in the Deployment instructions.
This indicates that specific battleplans may have unique deployment requirements.
What does it mean when a battleplan instructs to deploy units in reserve?
It means that some units are not deployed on the battlefield initially and can enter later using a special ability.
This often adds a strategic element to the battle.
What is the purpose of the twist table in a battleplan?
At the start of each battle round, if there is an underdog, they roll on the twist table. If there is no underdog, the players roll off and the winner rolls on the twist table.
The twist table introduces random effects that can influence the battle.
What constitutes a major victory in terms of victory points?
A player wins a major victory if they have a victory point lead of 5 or more.
This emphasizes the significance of scoring in the battle.
What is required for a player to win a minor victory?
A player wins a minor victory if they have a 1-4 victory point lead.
Minor victories still indicate a competitive outcome.
What happens if players are tied on victory points at the end of the battle?
The battle is a draw.
This outcome reflects a balanced contest between the players.
What option does a player have if the cost of fighting on seems too steep?
They can withdraw if at least half of the units from their starting army have been destroyed.
This provides a strategic choice to avoid further losses.
What occurs to the units that remain on the battlefield if a player withdraws?
All remaining units are immediately removed from play but do not count as having been destroyed.
This allows players to preserve unit integrity despite withdrawal.
What victory does an opponent achieve if their opponent withdraws?
The opponent wins a major victory regardless of the victory conditions of the battleplan.
This highlights the consequences of choosing to withdraw.
How are replacement units viewed in a Path to Glory campaign?
Replacement units are considered different units entirely from the ones they are replacing, lacking veteran abilities or upgrades.
This maintains narrative coherence in the campaign.
What happens to replacement units and summoned units after the battle ends?
They are not added to your Order of Battle.
This indicates that these units do not contribute to future battles.
What should players resolve once the battle is over?
Both players should resolve the aftermath sequence as detailed on pages 252-254.
This sequence is crucial for determining the ongoing narrative and campaign effects.
