For our games, both sides will roll a D6 at the beginning of every turn and if someone rolls a 2 or less they get to draw a card. If we don't see enough action from them we may draw a card every turn regardless. I've included a lion's share of them below for anyone that wants to try them out... enjoy!
An
Excellent Position
(Immediate)
One of your units has found an excellent
position that affords them unexpected protection from fire. You may designate
one of your units to be effected. The area can’t effect other units and can’t
be played on units in a fortified location.
This
Cover Sucks!!!
(Immediate)
A position that seemed to offer decent
cover turns into a bad spot due to poor construction and weird lines of sight.
Your opponent may play this card on one building or terrain feature that would
normally be considered to have a cover saving throw.
The designated piece of terrain no
longer provides a cover save.
FIRE!!!
(Immediate)
Your rounds have struck something
flammable and set a structure ablaze. You may designate any structure in LOS of
one of your units and declare it is burning.
Units in the structure must exit
immediately or be wounded on a 4+ for as long as they remain within.
The
Bell Tolls
(Immediate)
Vox chatter reveals a favorite warrior has
fallen.
Roll a D6 and consult the
following:
1-3: Your mainline troops become
demoralized. A ‘Troop’ unit of your opponent’s choosing loses 1 point from its
leadership characteristic.
4-6: Your force becomes fired up
for revenge. Card holder chooses a ‘Troop’ unit and adds 1 point to its
leadership characteristic.
Storms
(Immediate)
Ferocious storms have grounded ISR assets
and otherwise restricted overhead collections.
All
units now function with night fighting rules unless some type of advanced
sensors are noted in the fluff.
Last
Mag!!!
(Immediate)
For whatever reason, ammo supplies are
running low. “What the hell are we suppose to use man?
Harsh language?”
Opponent chooses 3 units which may
not fire this round.
The
Commander Said What?
(Immediate)
Vox comms are on the fritz and your most recent
order contradicts the mission brief.
No units may move this turn unless
it is physically into cover during the Move phase. (This does not include units
falling back)
Friendly
Fire Isn’t
(Immediate)
One of your units has been struck by
friendly fire, either from artillery or a wayward airstrike.
Randomly determine which unit has
been struck. That unit must resolve a STR:5 AP:- Ordinance Blast.
Snipers
(Immediate)
A veteran sniper team has just entered
the AO.
“God, come in God…”
Your opponent now has D3+2 Sniper
shots against any unit of his choosing (Hits on a 2+ / Wounds on a 4+ /
Rending). He may use them all at once or spread them through future rounds; all
to be used during his shooting phase.
“Get
Some!!!”
(Immediate)
A member of one of your Troop units has a
fire frenzy and opens up with everything he has.
“ Come on! Come on! Come and get it,
baby! Come on! I don't got all day! Come on! Come on! Come on you bastard!”
A non-upgraded member of a Troop
unit may fire his/her weapon D6 extra times.
Hacked
(This card may be played at any time)
Your force has been able to mount a
successful ECM attack against the enemy, temporarily disrupting their Vox and
grid communications.
The unit selected may not move (nor
run) for one turn.
Where
are YOU Going?
(Immediate)
One of your units in reserve have been
recalled by higher command for a more important mission. (Victory points not
effected)
Roll D6:
1-2 Leaves immediately
3-4 Leaves 1x round after it
arrives
5-6 Will remain on the board as
long as a 3+ is rolled at the beginning
of each round.
General
Confusion Takes Command
(Immediate)
An commander in the highest echelon of
command has taken
a personal interest in your operation. His confusion and poorly considered
commands, passed through the command-net have
robbed you of the tactical initiative.
Your opponent seizes the initiative
during this turn meaning all of his units function
as having an initiative 10.
In
the Zone
(Immediate)
A unit of your choice is in the zone! The
unit is functioning as a well oiled cohesive killing machine.
A non-HQ/non-Vehicle unit gains the
'Fleet-of-Foot' special rule and may reroll all to hit & wound dice for the
rest of the round.
Man
Down!
(Immediate)
A randomly selected (Non-HQ)
unit
in your force has suffered a casualty, be it from wayward munitions or
previous damage that had been ignored.
Remove one model (or 2x wounds from
one model) with no saving throw OR roll on the Vehicle Damage Table if a
vehicle was the target.
The
Dragon of Mars is Not Pleased
(Immediate)
Despite the special prayers and/or curses
or biological manipulations laid upon a mechanical construct... it
was not enough and the Omnisiah has
afflicted the machine with a vile plague.
A randomly determined vehicle in
your force must immediately roll a
on the Vehicle Damage Table. (Victory points not effected)
Bingo
Fuel
(Immediate)
Aerial assets are at critical fuel levels and
must withdraw from combat.
All
assets
that have the 'Zoom' special rule must pass a one-time 4+ check or
permanently withdraw from the battle. (Victory points not effected)
I
Just Gave it a Good Kick!!!
(Immediate)
Sometimes a wire becomes disconnected or
a ground becomes ungrounded. That’s probably why when a crew
member gives
the ammo unit or generator a good kick it works again.
A
Break in the Clouds
(Immediate)
The sun breaks through the clouds and
momentarily drives away the fog, rain, snow or anomalies effecting the
battlefield.
The scenario is no longer being
effected by any types of atmospheric conditions to include night or darkness.
Gas!
Gas! Gas!
(Immediate)
Intelligence indicates a chemical weapon
attack is imminent. Your force must don chem gear or set up filtration condensers.
All non-vehicle units from your
force are treated as if moving through difficult terrain due to the limiting
constraints of chem gear. Power Armored and Fearless
units aren’t effected.
Excellent
Leadership
(Immediate)
Your force’s leaders are masterfully
wielding the force as a single fighting unit. Focused fire, cover fire,
movement, assault… all perfectly fluid.
All
assets
now
benefit from your HQ’s leadership characteristic for the rest of the game.
Additionally, all units are considered ‘Fearless’ for the rest of the turn.
Ancient
Ordinance of Destruction
(This card may be played at any time)
A unit armed with a heavy weapon produces
an ancient relic which it has been keeping just for this occasion. The
ordinance is endowed with long lost technologies or infested with something
horrible.
A non-vehicle unit with a STR 7
weapon or higher may fire this munition
and automatically hit and penetrate a target vehicle.
All
Clear!
(This card may be played at any time)
This card negates the Gas! Gas!
Gas! effect.
Warp Flares
(Immediate)
Warp storms in a nearby sector are
effecting operational communications and airborne support to the
battlefield.
All rolls for reserves automatically fail this round. All future rolls for reserves require a 5+.
Dust
in the Wind
(Immediate)
A large cloud of heavy dust and smoke is
pushing through the area, limiting sight and nullifying jump infantry.
The battlefield is considered to be
in night fight conditions and all jump infantry must make a dangerous terrain
check after every move over than 6”.
That’s
a Pretty Rock…
(Immediate)
A random unit falls pray to the ignorance
of one of its members. The member of the unit is either bitten by a poisonous
insect, plant or the pretty rock in his hand turned out to be a submunition.
Roll D6:
1-4: a random unit takes a single
STR: 4/AP:- hit.
5-6: a random unit takes a
STR:4/AP- (Sm. Blast)
Covered
in Crap!
(This card may be played at any time)
Atmospheric conditions have rendered an
enemy unit less stealthy or unable to conduct a tactical deployment.
This card effects any unit with the
scout or stealth special rule that has not yet been deployed.
Negative
on your Request Trooper
(This card may be played at any time)
Sometimes priorities of grunts on the
ground are far different than senior leadership.
Play this card to block an orbital strike or entry of a reserve unit from your opponent.
Orbital
Strike at the Ready
(This card may be played at any time)
How it got there doesn’t really matter.
The fact that you need it right now does!
Orbital Strike BS:3 Str:8/AP:3 (Ordinance Blast)
-Always
scatters
Intensify
Forward Fire Power!
(Immediate)
A unit of your choice (hopefully the most
desperate) is ordered to shoot everything it has at the closing enemy. It’s
going to create a wall of hell but will blow through all of its ammo in the
process.
A unit of your choice can make
double the shooting attacks in a single round but will exhaust all shooting for
the rest of the game.
Doomed
(Immediate)
A random unit has been afflicted with the
ire of the Emperor or some dark god because nothing they can do is working the
way it should. Everything that can go wrong is and it’s only a matter of time.
A randomly selected unit does not
benefit from cover and now moves as if it were in difficult & dangerous
terrain.
Watch
Your Step!
(Immediate)
One of your units has stumbled into a
mine field that was previously undetected by sensors.
Randomly select one of your units and consider them in a mine field that spans 12” in every direction from their position. The minefield will claim 4 casualties (or 1 vehicle) from your force before it can be removed.
You’re
Going to Be Infamous for That!
(Immediate)
An unscrupulous action you or one of your
units committed is really going to piss off the enemy…
Your opponent’s forces will become
“Fearless” for the turn.
Uncommon
Valor
(This card may be played at any time)
A member in a unit of your choice will
sacrifice himself for the better of his brothers (or spawnlings).
A unit of your choice that hit by
exactly 5x shots/attacks may sacrifice one model and not suffer any other
casualties regardless of how powerful the weaponry is.
Wrath
of the God-Emperor/Chaos Gods
(Immediate)
The world shakes and the sky breaks… this
place is undone and all of its inhabitants are going to die.
Every round each unit from both
sides must pass a 4+ check or every model with in it suffers a Str:4/AP:- hit.
Further, the ground floor of the battlefield is now considered dangerous
terrain.
