Player
Passing (See 43.1)
The Player must pass automatically if any of the
following conditions is true: no leaders are available for the operation, it
would violate Athenian Emergency Fund (See 7.1.5), adverse auguries die roll
(Die roll of 6), no funds are available, and no forces are available. The
player side may also pass voluntarily. Once the player side has passed it has
completed the Continuing Operations Segment.
Non-Player
Passing (See 43.2)
The Non-player side must pass if
any of the following conditions is true: no leaders are available for the
operation, it would violate Athenian Emergency Fund (See 7.1.5), adverse
auguries die roll, no funds are available, and no forces are available.
Operations
costs (See 4.13) per strength point
are: Each Naval strength point costs 400 talents per operation.
Each
Hoplite and Cavalry strength point costs 200 talents per
operation.
Exception: Spartan Hoplites and Cavalry are operated
free of
cost.
Zone
of Influence (ZOI) is exerted by a
Force over one or more spaces. Note that types of spaces do not affect ZOI;
only the types of LOCs. ZOI varies according to the
composition of the Force, as follows:
Hoplite (only): The space occupied by the Force.
Cavalry (only): The space occupied by the Force and
each space within 1 Land or Combined LOC.
Naval (only): The space occupied by the Force and
each space within 2 contiguous Naval or Combined LOCs.
Hoplite + Cavalry: Same as Cavalry.
Hoplite + Naval: Same as Naval.
Cavalry + Naval: The space occupied by the Force and
each space within 2 contiguous Naval or Combined LOCs,
plus each space within 1 Land LOC.
All:
Same as Cavalry + Naval.
Interception
Die Roll if an enemy force enters a
ZOI, the intercepting force doesn't move (See 4.6). Die Roll 1-3 - No
interception Die roll of 4 to 6 a skirmish is immediately conducted
Skirmish
Results: Each side rolls one die (See
4.7).
Die
roll of 1, that side loses one strength point.
Die
roll of 2-6 no losses.
Losses
- Coastal or land space lose one land strength point
(picked in order of precedence hoplite, cavalry);
island spaces
lose one
naval strength point.
Skirmish
Results in a
(1)
Combined skirmish die rolls are 11 or more or;
(2)
Coastal or Land Space - the combined land strength points (both sides) are
eight or more or;
(3)
Coastal or Island Space - naval strength (both sides) is eight or more, Note:
In cases (2) and (3) at least 50% of the total strength must come from the
intercepting units.
Ravaging
(See 4.8)
Each
space that an Army enters when moving toward the objective space (not assembly
space) that is enemy controlled but unoccupied by units and in which no
interception occurs, is automatically ravaged. The presence of a fortress does
not prevent the ravaging. If the space contains enemy units, even if the
intercept is unsuccessful, no ravaged marker is placed.
Land
Roll
one die for each side, modifying each die roll as follows (all
cumulative):
(1)
Add the Leader's Tactical Rating
(2) If one side has more Cavalry Strength Points than
the other, add 1 for that side
(3) If one side has more Hoplite Strength Points than
the other, add 1 for each Strength Point of difference.
(4) If one side is at least 50% Spartan Hoplite Strength
Points, add 2 for that side
(5) For any battle in
The
higher modified die roll wins. If there is a tie, the side with the higher
Leader Tactical Rating wins. If there is still a tie, the batde
is a draw. If the batde is not a draw, the winner
loses no Strength Points and remains in the space. The loser loses a number of
Strength Points equal to the modified dice roll difference, or equal to the
number of Hoplite Strength Points on the winning side, whichever is less.
Reduce these losses by 1 SP for each Cavalry SP advantage the loser has over
the winning side (although the losing side must always lose at least 1 SP). The
remaining units on the losing side are immediately placed in the Going Home
box.
Naval
Roll one
die for each side, modifying each die roll as follows (all cumulative):
(1) Add
the Leader's Tactical Rating
(2) If one side has more Naval Strength Points than the
other, add 1 for each Strength Point of difference.
(3) If one force is at least 50% Athenian Naval
Strength Points, add 2 for that side.
The
higher modified die roll wins. If there is a tie, the side with the higher
Leader Tactical Rating wins. If there is still a tie, the batde
is a draw. If the battle is not a draw, the winner loses no Strength Points and
remains in the space. The loser loses a number of Strength Points equal to the
dice roll difference, or equal to the number of Naval Strength Points in the
winning force, whichever is less. The remaining units in the losing force are
immediately placed in the Going Home box. Combined Battles (See 5.23)
(1)
Conduct a Naval Battle normally.
(2) If the winner of the
Naval Battle has fewer Hoplite Strength Points than the loser, place the losing
side in the Going Home box. In this case, the winner of the Naval Batde is considered the winner of the Combined Batde. Increase the winner's SCI by 1, and reduce the
loser's SCI by 1.
(3) If the winner of the Naval Battie
has a number of Hoplite Strength Points equal to or greater than the Naval
Battle loser, conduct a Land Battle normally. In this case, the winner of the
Land Battle is considered the winner of the Combined Battle. Increase the
winner's SCI by 1, and reduce the loser's SCI
by 1.
(4) If the Naval Batde is a draw, all surviving units are placed in the
Going Home box.
Conducting
a No
When
forces occupy the same space, remove all Naval Strength
Points from such spaces to the Going Home box. When forces
occupy
different spaces, there is no combat and forces remain
where they
are located. If a No Batde occurs as a result of an
interception
and a skirmish, the moving Army continues its
movement.
Siege
Resolution (See 53)
If the
besieged force has a greater number of naval sp's then the
siege
fails, if not then:
Roll a
die and add the army leaders tactical rating.
Die
roll-1 to 3 the siege fails, on a 4 to 6 the siege is successful,
space is
captured and the besieging army sides treasury gains 300
talents.
Special
Siege Situations

be traced the siege fails.

Rebellion
Expansion (See 6.2)
Any
space in rebellion which is in the ZOI of a friendly unit (the
side it was
on before it rebelled) and not in the ZOI of an enemy
unit is no
longer in rebellion, remove the rebellion marker. Any
space in
rebellion that is in the ZOI of an enemy unit remains in
rebellion.
Helot
Rebellion (See 63)
If Pylos, Asine, Corone,
Prasiaea, and Epidaurus Limera
are
occupied by
Athenian forces then a Helot rebellion occurs
Revenue
(See 7.0)
Athenian
Revenue each game turn is 3500 talents.
Spartan
Revenue each game turn is 2500 talents.
Reduce
Revenue
(1)
Reduce revenue by 50 talents for each space ravaged, in rebellion, or captured
Exception: if
(2) Reduce Athenian revenue by 1500 if
(1)

(3)
Either Side + 1000 per game turn- if an LOC of controlled spaces can be traced
from a home space to Epidamnos and control Epidamnos (See 7.1.3).
(4)
Neither
side can spend more than 600 talents constructing new
units.
Each
strength point costs 200 talents to build.
Bellicosity
Adjustment (See 8.1)
Subtract
a negative Strategy Confidence Index.
Add
one half (rd down) of a positive Strategy Confidence Index
Subtract
one tenth (rd down) total number of spaces currently in
rebellion or ravaged last game turn.
Surrender
(See 8.2)
A side surrender whenever its Bellicosity reaches zero at the end
of a game
turn.
Armistice
or Peace of Nicias (See 83)
An armisitce occurs when both sides have reached a Bellicosity
level of 6
or less or both treasuries are below 1000 talents. Length
of
Armistice (in game turns) equal to one half of a die roll (round
fractions
up). If Nicias is the leader of
add one to
this die roll.
POST-COMBAT MOVEMENT TABLE
During
the Going Home Segment of the Operations and Combat Phases units in the Going
Home Box are replaced on the map based
on the Post
Combat Movement Table priorities.
Procedure:
Segregate
the SP's in the Going Home Box by unit type (e.g.,
Hoplite, Cavalry, or Naval) and by nationality (e.g.,
Ally,
bottom),
place the SP's in the indicated spaces. If an Active
Neutral is in play it automatically takes the highest priority.
In
addition, the Post Combat Movement Table priorities are used for the placement
of newly constructed units.
Whenever
a priority cannot be met due to capture or rebellion proceed to the next
priority. If it is the last or only priority for a given SP
type and nationality, place those SP's in the
friendly home space. However, if the priority indicates that that SP's are to be divided betweeen
two spaces on a 50%-50% basis and one but not both of these spaces has been
captured or in rebellion then place all of those SP's
in the remaining space. * Note: When Chios is captured or in rebellion
all indicated SP's go to
