That’s the game in a nutshell. Below are additional comments to
help in the understanding of the game.
This is a simple game. 6 sided dice are used for everything. Target number
is always naturally a 5. So 5 or 6 hits/recons/etc. Some things can change
the target number like terrain, or rockets, but it is stated clearly.
In combat, each die that rolls the target number or higher does one damage.
In recon, a roll of the target number or higher is a success.
Each unit has 4 attributes. Infantry firepower (inf); Armour firepower
(arm); Air Firepower (air); Defense value (def).
For each of the firepowers, that number is how many dice that unit rolls.
For defense its how many hits it can take before being destroyed. Some
air firepower attributes are grayed out. That means they can only fire
on air if someone in their zone was fired upon first (return fire).
