Successors

				by Decision Games


Sequence of Play
----------------

Each player in clockwise order does all of the following:

I. Events - roll once [1st die odd or even, 2nd tens digit, 3rd ones digit]
II. Revenue - sum provinces, maintain units, purchase units [not on turn 1]
III. Movement
IV. Combat

Revenue
-------
-jointly occupied provinces controlled by player with more units in
-if cannot pay for an Event, must lose a unit
-money can be exchanged freely through turn 8
-captured leaders are ransomed for 5 Talents (T) (rule 5.3)
-maintenance is 1T/unit
-Purchase Costs:
	Levy:			1
	Infantry (Inf):		2
	Cavalry (Cav):		3
	Fleet:			3 in port, 5 in coastal
	Elephant (EL):		by table only

-place in home province or w/ leader.  EL in generating province.
 fleets in province or sea with or adjacent to own provinces.
-Prereq:  need province of either type to buy.

Movement
--------
-no stacking limit, no ZOCs
-land units have MA=3, shaded provinces cost 2
-stop when entering area with unfriendly units
-leader moves 4 MP (also the forces starting with him)
-fleets have 5 MP - must stop when enemy fleets encountered
-may not enter enemy-held port
-fleets carry armies 1 for 1, no embark/disembark costs
-alliance moves are OK

Combat
------
-at least 1 player must want it
-phasing player chooses the order
-each Cav gets a pre-battle roll; each EL stops 2 pre-battle rolls
-one round of simultaneous combat
-leader gives +1 to a single unit (not usable in pre-battle)
-loss priority:
	1. same type
	2. better class, closest to same
	3. worse class, closest to same
-ranking:	Cav (best), Inf, EL, Levy
-Retreats:  defender can send some or all to adjacent province; 
	    attacker next
-if any units left, fight another round

Sea:
-fight in sea, not in port.  Combat occurs during movement phase.
-roll of 5-6 kills
-after 1 round, surviving moving player units can move on
-lost leader immediately placed in home province
-no ldeader modification in sea combat

Sea Invasion:
-disembark troops
-no pre-battle
-if all attackers disembarking, defender gets double rolls
-invaders may not retreat
-roll to determine fate of captured fleets:
	1-2 captured and re-usable
	3-4 destroyed
	5-6 sail in sea for adjacent center

Victory
-------
-Every Province solely occupied is worth its value
-If any Revolt or Invasion chits, province is worthless
-Each Talent is worth half a point
-If there is a tie, the player moving earlier on the last turn wins
