When testing the “Who’s Attacking”, after the
Attacker/Defender has been decided and the terrain setup, the Defender can
check if he can ambush the Attacker. The Defender adds any Guerilla or Ambush
bonus he had.
If by adding the bonus the Defender achieve a higher result
than the Attacker, the Defender ambushed the Attacker, the Defender is now the
Ambusher.
When this happen, the Attacker set his units in section 2,
5, 8 and only after the Ambusher places in any of the section 1-2-3-4-6-7-8-9
with no less than 18” with any Attacker units

Commander in Chief (CinC)
Commander in Chief can be of 2 natures: Marshal or Captain.
Marshals are soldiers of legends who command vast armies while Captain are
competent nobles able to manage smaller bodies. There is only 1 Marshal per Nation and as many Captain as you want. Alweg as a non-Nation has no Marshal, only Captains.
However, in large decisive battle with
Allies and such, there may be several Marshals and many Captains.
CinC will affect the army skills by adding extra
capabilities.
Every Marshal and Captain has a reputation which will affect
the “Disband or Not” test at the end of the season.
In standard situation, unless the CinC is a Weapon’s bearer
or any other modifying Attributes, WR=Reputation.
The Reputation affect the Zone of Command (ZoC) of the CinC.
A zone of control is equal to 3 times the Reputation. Any unit within the ZoC
gain +1 for Moral tests.
Strength/Weakness
Marshal: Star
- Roll for 2 Attributes
- Bigger than life
- Roll for 1 Attributes
- Cost 1 resource to hire
All kill results are managed as coma until the end of the
battle. Once the battle is over

Bearer’s death
When a Weapon’s bearer die in a battle field, if one of the opponent’s
CinC is not a Weapon’s Bearer, he will retrieve the Weapon and will then become
a Bearer with all the attributes of the Weapon
Note that a Weapon’s bearer can only have one Weapon.
If there are no available potential bearer, the Weapon is assumed being taken by a soldier who leaves the army to become an adventurer.
