THIS IS RONIN Ronin is a customizable miniatures gameof gigantic mechanized battle. In Ronin you design your own unique battle armor andequip it with heavy rocket launchers, jump packs and assault cannons of your choice,then launch into brutal battles with your opponents where strategy is the key to victory.

RONIN:DUELS Ronin:duels is designed to get you started playing Ronin asquickly as possible. It'll give you the possibility to fight duels and smaller skirmishbattles with one or a few models per player and provides little background andsetting for the game, since its focus is gameplay.

RONIN:WAR Ronin:war will give you the possibility to fight larger skirmishbattles and campaigns with several models per player. It provides a rich backgroundand setting for the game and extend the rules to cover more aspects of futuristicwarfare. Ronin:war is designed for experienced table-top players and players ofRonin:duels wishing to take the game to a more extensive level.

WINNING THE GAME In Ronin:duels the aim of the game is to reduceyour opponents Ronin's structural pointsby causing damage to it with your weapons.In a two player game, the victor is the player which has the last Ronin left on theplaying field with more than 0 structural points. In a game with more than two players,the victor is the player who has inflicted the highest total number of structural damagepoints on hostile Ronin, deducting any dishonour points left at the end of the gamefrom the total number of damage inflicted. The key to victory lies in deciding for astrategy and customizing a model with equipment to suit that strategy.

THE RONIN MODELS When you have played a couple of times you willnotice that you can increase your chances of winning over an opponent by studyingthe way he plays, and equipping your Ronin with model parts particularly suited fordefeating his Ronin. You will find more model parts for your Ronin in the expansionsets which are available for Ronin. You will find them where you bought this box.

THE ARM EXPANSIONS All arms detailed in this rulebook and many newreleases are available individually in arm blister boxes.

THE WEAPON EXPANSION Contains a varied selection of weapons.

THE EQUIPMENT EXPANSION Contains a varied selection of equipment.

THE COMMAND UPGRADES Contain a rank flag mount, rank flags,an enhancer skirt, a MAGHIT magnet and MAGHIT indicators.

THE SKILL MARK EXPANSION Contains a varied selection of skill marks.

THE MISSILE EXPANSION Contains a missile ramp, missile bases and mounts,MAGLOCK magnets and a selection of the missiles detailed in this rulebook.

THE MAGLOCK & MAGHIT EXPANSIONS Contain either MAGLOCKmagnets or MAGHIT magnets and hit indicators. TIP! With some modelling youcan replace the HARDPOINTS on the model with magnets. Then glue magnets toyour model parts, which will allow you to re-design your model between games.

PREPARATIONSCUSTOMIZING YOUR RONIN Customizing your Ronin model is oneof the most important parts of the game. Carefully read the rules for the specific modelparts you have in your collection and choose parts for your Ronin that you think will workwell together with the strategy you want to execute during the game. The combined effectof certain model parts could prove very effective on the battlefield if used wisely.

CHOOSING STRUCTURES First of all you have to choose structures foryour Ronin. Structures are the basic body parts that make up the bulk of your battlearmour. Your Ronin is constructed of one cockpit, one chest piece, one back piece,one abdomen, two upper arms (onto which you'll later mount one arm each), twoidentical legs and two identical feet. You are free to combine any of the structuresdetailed in the rules as long as you follow these construction rules.

CHOOSING ARMS Once you have decided which structures to construct yourRonin from, it is time to decide which arms you should equip your Ronin with. You areallowed to mount one arm on to each of the upper arms.

THE HARDPOINT SYSTEM The HARDPOINT system is a unique gamecomponent balancing system that lets you focus on your model rather than onyour calculator! If you've played KRASH you'll recognize the principle.

Equip your Ronin with as many model parts as you can fit onto the HARDPOINTSof your model's structures, as long as you obey the specific rules for each model partwhen it comes to the number of HARDPOINTS and locations it can be mounted on.

THE MAGLOCK SYSTEM The MAGLOCK system is a unique modelmounting/assembling system that allow you to redesign the model before andduring the game. This is perfect for handling model parts that can only be usedonce (removing the model part from the Ronin once it is used) or parts that, onceused, act independently from the Ronin that used them (f.ex. missiles or passiveweapons). Please glue one MAGLOCK magnet to the "base" model part's magnetpoint (f.ex. a missile ramp) and one MAGLOCK magnet to the "attached" modelpart's magnet point (f.ex. a missile).IMPORTANT! It is very important that you test the polarity (ensuring that the magnetsstick together) between the "base" and "attached" MAGLOCK magnets before gluingthem in place on the model parts. Please ensure that you use the same polarity onall missile ramps and the opposite polarity on all missiles you assemble.

ASSEMBLING YOUR MODEL (detailed instruction available on page18). The first thing you need to do in order to play, is to assemble your model. Start byremoving any excessive pieces of metal on every model part, then use a modelling knifeor file to trim off any mould lines. When you're done you should glue your model togetherwith NITRO super glue, or another glue of equally high quality.The game has beendesigned to encourage dynamic poses, so the only thing you have to consider regar-ding gameplay when assembling the model, is that weapons mounted on other locationsthan the arms have a defined arc of fire in relation to how they are mounted, and thatyou must glue the cockpit of the Ronin facing forward in a straight line, in the samedirection as the center of the abdomen is pointing when the model has not been revolved.IMPORTANT! Do not use glue when mounting the abdomen between the chest- and backpiece. When you glue the chest- and back piece, the abdomen will stay in place and you willbe able to revolve it freely. This is an important aspect of the game.

Attached hit indicator

THE MAGHIT SYSTEM Ronin:duels is the first game ever to feature Cell Enter-tainment's unique magnet indication system MAGHIT. This system has been designedto help you keep track of damage inflicted on specific parts of your model in a quick andconvenient way. Please glue one MAGHIT magnet to every circular magnet point of attach-ment and keep the small hit indicator steel balls ready to indicate hits during game-play.TIP! Gluing small strips of painted cotton to the hit indicators makes great smokeeffects and will make them easier to handle.

PAINTING YOUR MODEL If you have not painted models beforeyou will soon discover that it is a lot of fun. We recommend that you use the NITROhobby paints, or other water based, non-toxic hobby paints of equally high qualitywhen you paint your model. Always be sure to undercoat your model with a layerof black or white paint. Undercoating is done easily by using spray paint, some-thing that'll also give you smoother finish. An undercoat primes the surface of themodel so that the top layer of paint adheres well. A white undercoat gives thecolours painted on top of it a brighter look, while black commonly is used onmodels that are going to be painted in dark or metallic colours. Make sure you waituntil the undercoat is dry before you move on to the actual painting. Once you'vefinished painting your model it's a good idea to add a protective coat of matt varnish.This rulebook shows several samples of assembled and painted Ronin models.

BEFORE YOU BEGINWHAT YOU WILL NEED In order to play you need one or morecompleted Ronin models, this rulebook, a couple of ordinary dice, an opponent

with one or more completed Ronin models and finally a flat surface (an ordinarytable works fine) that is large enough for the models to be placed at least 60 cmapart. Decide which boundaries the models must remain within during play (forexample the edges of the table). We call this area the playing field.

TERRAIN You should use terrain on the playing field to make the game evenmore exciting. The terrain can consist of purpose built hobby terrain (see the excellent NITRO line of custom made terrain at your store) or be represented bybooks, rolls of paper or other suitable objects. Decide which part of the playingfield constitutes open ground, difficult ground and Impassable terrain at the beginn-ning of the game. If nothing is decided all terrain is considered to be open ground.

OPEN GROUND Ordinary flat surfaces like for example a burnt desert landscape.

DIFFICULT GROUND Difficult ground is loose sand, steep and treacherousslopes, and thick vegetation.

IMPASSABLE TERRAIN You cannot move over or through Impassableterrain. Wide rifts, ravines, lakes, great boulders, walls, or jagged cliffs are examplesof impassable terrain. Slopes steeper than 45° and/or higher than 2 cm are alsoconsidered Impassable terrain.IMPORTANT! Ronin that have fallen over count as Impassable terrain.

DICE ROLLS All dice rolls in Ronin are made with a standard six-sideddice (usually abbreviated as D6). Sometimes you'll have to modify the result ofthe roll and this is stated as a D6 plus or minus a given number, f.ex. D6+3 or

5

D6-1. Sometimes you'll have to roll more than one dice and add the results together,we state the number of dice you are required to roll in front of the D6. So 2D6means that you should roll two dice and add the results together.

ROLLING A D3 When you are required to roll a D3, you roll a D6 as usual.If the score is 1-2 the result is interpretated as 1, a score of 3-4 gives the result 2and a score of 5-6 gives the result 3.

MEASURING DISTANCE In Ronin, distance is measured in centimeters (cm).If you do not have access to a ruler or measuring tape, you can use the ruler printedon the back cover of this rulebook. You always measure from the centre of the cockpit(head) of your Ronin when moving it, or from the centre of the cockpit of your Roninto the centre of the cockpit of the target when using a model part.IMPORTANT! You may never measure in advance.IMPORTANT! When measuring range to or from a Ronin that has fallen over youmeasure from the tip of the centre of its abdomen instead of the centre of the cockpit.

WHICH RULE APPLIES? If a model part has a specific rule thatcontradicts the ordinary game rules, the specific rule of the model part applies.

WHO IS RIGHT? If a situation that is not completely covered by therules occurs during play, or is subject to interpretation and you cannot come toan agreement, you each roll 2D6. Whoever rolls highest decides. When the gameis over you should decide how to handle such situations in the future.

IF YOU FORGET? During the game it is up to each individual player toremember which rules apply to his model. When a new round begins, any effectsforgotten from the previous round are disregarded.

KEY GAME TERMSSTRUCTURAL POINTS The structural points are an abstract reflection ofyour Ronin's current functional status. They indicate how much damage it can

withstand before it is rendered a useless heap of metal. Your starting structural pointcapacity is indicated by the structures you choose for your Ronin.

HEAT FACTOR The heat factor indicates the current energy level measuredfrom a negative value up to a positive value (usually from -6 to +6). Your heatfactor starts at 0 and increases as you perform actions with your model. Youdecrease the heat factor at the beginning of your round according to your automaticheat reduction system as indicated by your Ronin's structures.

Be sure to keep track of your heat factor carefully, as your Ronin might sufferserious damage if it gets too high.

HONOUR- AND DISHONOUR POINTS Honour- and Dishonour pointsare an indication of your crew's current self-confidence. They affect your willpowerand mental strength under critical conditions. During the game you may spend onehonour point to immediately re-roll any one dice roll you've rolled, or have theopponent re-roll a roll that directly affects you. You must stick with the second result.

If you are penalized with a dishonour point and have honour points, you must"pay" one honour point and this will allow you to disregard that dishonour point.

If you have one dishonour point, the opponent who suffered the effect thatpenalized you with a dishonour point may force you to immediately re-roll any onedice roll you've rolled that directly affects him. You must stick with the second result.IMPORTANT! You may never have both honour and dishonour points. Playing withdishonour points is an optional rule.

FACING Your Ronin’s facing is indicated by the direction its cockpit is turned.

DIRECTION OF TRAVEL The direction of travel of your Ronin equals thedirection the centre point of the abdomen is pointing.

WEIGHT CLASS The weight is an abstract indication of your model’s tonnageand affects your movement and stability through the weight class . You get yourweight class by comparing the accumulated weight of the model parts you'vechosen for your Ronin with the weight class table.

Facing indicated by the direction the cockpit is turnedFacing and

direction of travelDirection of travel indicated by the centre of the abdomen

IMPORTANT! You may never weigh less than 0 or more than 25.

TAKING A TEST Many situations in the game require that you have totake a test in order to determine the outcome of an action or event. This is doneby rolling 2D6 and modifying the result according to the the rule that required youto take the test. If the result is 7 or more you have succeeded, otherwise you failand suffer the consequence. The effect of the result is detailed in the specific rulethat required you to take the test.

AUTOMATIC SUCCESS An unmodified roll of 12 (two rolls of '6') is always a success.

AUTOMATIC FAILURE An unmodified roll of 2 (2 rolls of '1') is always a failure.

TAKING A FALL TEST There are many situations that'll require you to take afall test, so we've stated the consequence of the fall test here for your conveniencerather than repeating it throughout the rules. When taking a fall test you add yourweight class to your roll. If you succeed the fall test, the model is still standing. Other-wise immediately roll a D6 and lay the model down to indicate that it has fallen over.

Lay the model on his face if the dice score was 1-3, or on his back if the score was4-6. The model may not perform any other action than standing up or parrying.IMPORTANT! If a model falls over on another model, that model has to take a fall test. Ifthe second model fails it's fall test, both models fall overin opposite directions. If it succeeds,the first model falls overopposite the direction of the succeeding model. You can neverfall over, if placed between impassable terrain or two models succeeding their fall test.IMPORTANT! If falling over due to a collision, you fall in a direction opposite of theobject/model you collided with.

BALANCING THE FORCES It is veryimportant that you and your opponent’s force have a balanced starting condition. We'vedesigned the HARDPOINT game balancing system to let you focus on the model ratherthan your calculator to achieve this. As long as you follow the rules for the model parts'HARDPOINT requirements, your and your opponents' models will be equally powerful,provided they are equipped with model parts taking up an equal number ofHARDPOINTS. When you want to use the command upgrade model parts, you haveto follow the additional rules for rankedRonin in order to have a balanced game.

RANKED RONIN The Rank Flag model part provides your Ronin witha rank, a reflection of the crew's experience and usage of a specific Ronin. In orderto field rankedRonin (Ronin with mounted rank flags), you must field one standardRonin to accompany the ranked Ronin, per flag the ranked Ronin is equipped with.These Ronin form a unit and obey the specific rules for units during the game. Soin order to field a 3rd rank Ronin you must field three standard Ronin with him toform a unit. The exception to this rule is that you are allowed to field two standard

Ronin instead of a 3rd rank Ronin if your opponent fields one 3rd rank Ronin.

RONIN UNITS A ranked Ronin grants his unit a total of one honour point per flagthe ranked Ronin is equipped with, we call these unit honour points. A standard Roninin the unit can use a unit's honour point at any time as if it was his, as long as the modelis within 24 cm of, and has line of sight to the ranked Ronin. If the ranked Ronin isdestroyed all unit honour points are lost. Each of the remaining models in the unitimmediately suffer one dishonour point per rank flag of the destroyed Ronin.

WHO STARTS? When you are ready to begin, each parti -cipant rolls 2D6. Whoever got the highest total may choose if he wants to placehis Ronin on the playing field first or last. If he chooses to go last, the next player(in clock-wise direction) starts. If two players get the same total, they re-roll separa-tely until you can determine the order of play between them.

PLACING THE MODELS ON THE PLAYING FIELDIf you choose to go first, you place your Ronin anywhere in open ground within5 cm from the edge of the playing field, facing the direction of travel. Then the nextplayer in clockwise direction around the table places his Ronin on the playing fieldin the same way, at least 60 cm from any opponent's Ronin. Continue to take turnslike this until all Ronin are placed on the playing field.IMPORTANT! If playing with several Ronin each, remember that you must place allof your Ronin on the same side of the playing field. Take turns placing one Ronineach on the playing field until all models are in play.

CHANGING THE INITIAL FACING Now, according to the order of play, eachRonin has the possibility of revolving its torso up to 90° to face another direction.

THE GAME BEGINS When you have made all thepreparations and placed your models on the playing field it is time to begin. Note your Ronin's starting structural points , heat factor and honour points (be

sure to add or deduct any modifications from pieces of equipment on your Ronin).

ORDER OF PLAY Whoever placed the first Ronin on the playing field gets totake the first round with it when the game begins. When the player is done with hisround, the order of play is then determined in a clockwise direction and the nextplayer takes a round with his Ronin, until all Ronin on the playing field have takenone round. This procedure is repeated until you can determine a victor (see Winningthe Game). Now it is time for the first round to commence...IMPORTANT! If you have no Ronin left on the playing field to perform a round with, theturn passes on to the next player according to the order of play. You may never perfoma 2nd round with your Ronin, unless all Ronin currently in play has performed their 1st.

A ROUND In Ronin:duels, game time is measured in rounds duringwhich you perform actions with your model. Examples of actions are firing a weaponor moving. You always start your round by reducing your heat factor according toyour automatic heat reduction system as indicated by your Ronin's structures.

During your round you can perform actions with your Ronin until you decidenot to perform any more actions, usually because your current heat factor is toohigh and you don't want to risk overheating your internal power source. When youhave performed all the actions you want with your Ronin, it is your opponent'sturn to have a round with his Ronin.IMPORTANT! You start the game at heat factor 0.IMPORTANT! You may perform the same action more than once during a round,except specifically stated otherwise.IMPORTANT! A turn has passed when all Ronin on the playing field have taken a round.

SUMMARY OF A GAME ROUND1. Reduce your heat factor according to your structural heat reduction system.2. Declare an action or end the round.3. Check for overheating.4. Perform the action.5. Return to 2.

REDUCING YOUR HEAT FACTOR Modify your current heatfactor according to your structural heat reduction system.

DECLARING AN ACTION Declare the action you want your modelto perform and modify your model's heat factor according to the action's heatfactor modification value (see the table). Then check for overheating before carryingout the action you've declared.

TIP! If you have difficulties remembering your heat factor, place a dice behind themodel showing the model's heat factor (use coloured dice to indicate anegative/positive heat factor).

CHECK FOR OVERHEATING If your current heat factor is equalto or less than zero (negative), you now automatically perform the action you declared,otherwise you must immediately roll for overheating before performing the actionyou've declared. ROLL A D6, if the score is higher than your current heat factor younow perform the action you declared. If the score is equal to, or lower than yourcurrent heat factor, you have overheated your power source as detailed below andcannot perform the action you declared.

OVERHEATING This ends your round and your opponent immediately rolls oneD6 to damage you at the torso hit location (you choose left or right), disregardingany modification from model parts and adding your current heat factor to the roll.

MOVING YOUR RONIN Move your Ronin up to the number of cmstated in the table below, in a straight line in its direction of travel (moving themaximum distance allowed, counts as a full movement action). You move half thedistance when moving sideways or opposite the direction of travel .IMPORTANT! Moving sideways and opposite the direction of travel, makes thedirection of movement the direction of travel.IMPORTANT! You may never perform more than 3 movement actions during a single round.

IMPORTANT! Modify your heat factor with an additional +1 per movement actionwhen moving over difficult ground.

STANDING STILL OR MOVING FAST? If you move 20 cm or moreduring a single round you are regarded as moving fast until the beginning of yournext round. If you don't move at least 4 cm during a round you are regarded asstanding still until the beginning of your next round. A model that has fallen overis always regarded as standing still .

CHANGING DIRECTION OF TRAVEL OR FACING AS A PART OFA MOVEMENT ACTION You may begin or end a movement action by turningyour model up to a maximum of 45° to a new direction of travel or revolving themodel's torso up to a maximum of 45° to face a new direction.IMPORTANT! Your facing synchronizes with the new direction of travel.

MOVING WHEN INVOLVED IN CLOSE COMBAT If you are involved inclose combat with a hostile model that is equipped with an assault weapon you have totake a break test when you have declared an action to move out of close combat. If yousucceed you may move normally, else you may not declare an action to move out ofclose combat during this round. You must modify your heat factor regardless if yousucceed or not. IMPORTANT! You may move within close combat range without taking a break test.

MOVING OFF THE PLAYING FIELD A Ronin cannot declare an actionthat will move it off the playing field (the centre of the model's cockpit cannot leavethe table or the boundary you have set up). Should a Ronin move of the playingfield it is immediately placed at the point where it exited.

CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL Turn your model so that thecentre of your abdomen indicates your new direction of travel.IMPORTANT! Your facing synchronizes with the new direction of travel.

REVOLVING THE TORSO Revolve the model's torso to face a new direction.

IMPORTANT! Your facing equals the direction your cockpit is pointing. You may neverrevolve a model's torso more than 90° in relation to its direction of travel.

ENTERING REFLEX MODE Entering reflex mode immediately endsyour round. Reflex mode will allow you to take a reflex test to perform one rangedweapon attack or close combat assault on an opponent at any time during his round(you may choose opponent). If you succeed the reflex test you may immediately performthis attack, without modifying your heat factor and checking for overheating (effecti-vely you are "saving" an attack to perform during an opponent's round). You immedi-ately exit reflex mode if you fail the reflex test, or after performing the attack, or at thebeginning of your next round, whichever occurs first. IMPORTANT! In reflex mode you are allowed to perform one ranged weapon attack or closecombat assault (no indirect fire) with a heat factor modification of maximum 2.IMPORTANT! You may never enter reflex mode if you are involved in close combat.IMPORTANT! You immediately exit reflex mode if you are hit in close combat or bya ranged weapon, damaged in any way or fail a reflex test.

FIRING A RANGED WEAPON In order to fire at a target atdistance, first declare what weapon you fire and which target you're firing at, thenfollow the procedure below.1. Establish line of sight.2. Determine if target is within the weapon's firing arc .3. Measure if target is within the weapon's range.4. Roll to hit.5. Determine hit location .6. Roll to damage.IMPORTANT! You may fire at a target currently in close combat . You may not fireranged weapons when involved in close combat. You may fire at a target that iswithin 8 cm of you, provided you are outside the target’s assault arc.

1. ESTABLISHING LINE OF SIGHT TO THE TARGET In order to be able tofire at a target you must have a line of sight to it ("be able to see it") from the cockpit of yourRonin. In most situations it is obvious whether or not you have a line of sight to your target.

10

If, for example, there is a building or a hill between your Ronin and the target, which comple-tely blocks the view of it, you do not have a line of sight to the target, and may not fire at it.If an obstruction only partially hides the target, it has cover. If you can see more than halfof your target it has partial cover. If you can see less than halfof your target it has full cover.IMPORTANT! Your line of sight arc is measured from the centre of your cockpit,and is defined by the cockpit structure you have chosen for your Ronin. Line ofsight also applies when playing on different height levels of the playing field.

2. TO DETERMINE IF THE TARGET IS WITHIN THE WEAPON'SFIRING ARC A ranged weapon is only able to hit targets within its firing arc.The firing arc varies depending on how and where on your Ronin it is mounted.

A ranged weapon mounted on an arm has a 135° firing arc in the directionthe Ronin is facing, starting at a straight line 90° to the left of the cockpit if mountedon the left arm, and 90° to the right of the cockpit if mounted on the right arm. Aweapon mounted elsewhere has a 90° firing arc centred at the muzzle of the weaponin the direction it is pointing.TIP! Sometimes it might be a good idea to revolve your torso to face a target inorder to bring it within a specific weapon's firing arc.

3. MEASURING RANGE TO THE TARGET When you have a line ofsight to your target and have determined that it is within the weapon's firing arc,you have to check if the target is within the weapon's range . The range is alwaysmeasured from the cockpit of your Ronin, to the cockpit of the target. If the targetis outside the range of the weapon you are firing or too close (e.g. when you areinvolved in close combat), you miss automatically and the attack ends, otherwiseyou now roll to hit.

4. ROLLING TO HIT ROLL 2D6, if the sum is '2' you have missed automaticallyand this ends the attack. If the sum is '12' you may choose to automatically inflict onepoint of structural damage (you don't have to roll to damage the target, determine thehit location as usual) or add an additional dice to your roll to damage. Otherwise:

· Deduct 2 if the target is in full cover, deduct 1 if the target is in partial cover.

· Deduct 1 if the target is moving fast, add 1 if the target is standing still.· Deduct or add the weapon's hit modification.

· Deduct 1 if the target is a missile.

If the result is 7 or more you have hit your target. Otherwise you've missed andthe attack ends. If you hit, you now have to determine the hit location. IMPORTANT! If another Ronin provided cover for your target and your roll to hitwas up to 2 less than required to hit (if the Ronin provided your target full cover),or 1 less than required to hit (if the Ronin provided your target partial cover), youhit the Ronin providing cover to your target.

5. DETERMINE THE HIT LOCATION ROLL A D6 and compare the resultto the hit location table. Once the hit location is determined you should roll todamage as detailed below.IMPORTANT! If you don't have line of sight to a hit location you roll (perhapsbecause you flank your target and see it in profile, or its torso is revolved) you hitthe other location of the same type, i.e. a hit in the right arm on a target viewed inleft profile will count as a hit in the left arm.IMPORTANT! Hits in the back of the model are indicated as hits in the front, withthe exception that armour mounted on locations 1b and 2b (torso) has no effectand that the attacking model is penalized with a dishonour point.

6. ROLL TO DAMAGE THE TARGET ROLL ONE D6 AND MODIFY THERESULT ACCORDING TO THE DAMAGE PROFILE OF YOUR WEAPON (deductingor adding any equipment of yours or the target that affects the roll).If any dice you roll is a 6 you may roll one additional D6 (you may never roll morethan one additional dice in this way) and add that to your total score. Compare theresult to the target's armour value at the hit location. If your result is equal to orgreater than the modified armour value, you've damaged your target. Otherwisethe strength of the attack was insufficient to damage the target and the attack ends.

· If you inflicted damage on your target you indicate the damage by attaching onedamage marker to the hit location magnet at the hit location you've rolled previously.· If the result istwice as high as the modified armour value or more, you inflict one additional point of damage and attach another damage marker to the hit location.

· If the result is three times as high as the modified armour value or more, you inflict yet another additional point of damage and attach another damagemarker to the hit location.

· If this was the 3rd damage marker at the location, the target has suffered acritical hit at the location.

· If this is the 4th damage marker at the location, the marker is moved to the nearest hit location with less than 3 damage markers (you choose if it isuncertain which location is nearest).

IMPORTANT! You may never inflict more than 3 points of structural damage (a criticalhit) with one roll to damage, even if you have model parts that'll give this effect.

HAVE YOU WON THE GAME YET? If you are playing the gamewith only two players, that plays one Ronin each, and the target has suffered an equalamount of damage markers in total as its total structural damage capacity, you have won!

In a game with more than two players (or more than one Ronin per player) thevictor is the player with the most victory points. You gain one victory point per struc-tural damage point inflicted on hostile Ronin. You lose two victory points for eachdishonour points your models have left at the end of the game.

If there are hostile models still on the playing field, your Ronin immediately gain1 honour point and the target is now considered impassable terrain and may not take anymore rounds in this game. As a last action the target now immediately have to take a fall test.

THE EFFECT OF A CRITICAL HIT

IN THE TORSO Every critical hit inflicted at your Ronin's torso will lower theeffect of your structural heat reduction system by 1. (f.ex. usually the first critical hitwill give you a automatic heat sink of -5 at the beginning of your round instead of thenormal -6).

IN THE ARMS Take a malfunction test after you've declared an action andmodified your heat factor, to use an arm where you've suffered a critical hit. If yousucceed you may now check for overheating to perform the action you declared.Otherwise you cannot perform the action.

IN THE LEGS A critical hit in your Ronin's legs will force you to take a fall testfor every first movement action in a round, modifying your chance to succeed with-2 if you are critically hit in both legs.

FIRING INDIRECT In order to fire indirect at a target (a point at theplaying field) at distance, first declare which weapon you are firing and which targetyou're firing at, then follow the procedure below.1. Establish line of sight.2. Determine if target is within the weapon's firing arc .3. Declare firing range .

Frontal arc Ambush arcFlank arc

12

4. Mark the guessed range.5. Determine deviation of the projectile.6. Determine hit location.7. Roll to damage.IMPORTANT! You may fire at a target currently in close combat. You may not fireindirect when involved in close combat .

1. ESTABLISHING LINE OF SIGHT TO THE TARGET You don'tneed line of sight to a target in order to fire indirect at it.

2. TO DETERMINE IF THE TARGET IS WITHIN THE WEAPON'SFIRING ARC This works exactly as determining if the target is within firing arcwith a ranged weapon.

3. DECLARE FIRING RANGE When you have determined that the targetis within the weapon's firing arc , you have to declare the range you want to fire(effectively guessing the distance to the target).

4. MARKING THE GUESSED RANGE Measure the distance you’vedeclared and place a marker (we use a dice) at the guessed range.

5. DETERMINE DEVIATION OF THE PROJECTILE ROLL 2D6. If thetwo dice rolled shows the same score, the projectile automatically hits at the markedguessed range, otherwise:· Add or deduct 1 for every cumulative shot at the same target during the same round.The sum (a negative sum equals 0 cm deviation) is the number of cm the fired

projectile will deviate from the guessed range. Determine the direction of the deviation by first rolling a D6 and multiplying the score by 2 to get the deviation total.

Then imagine a clockface centered at the guessed range marker, with yourfiring direction indicating 12 o'clock, the projectile deviates clockwise accordingto the deviation total .

The range is always measured from the centre of the explosion (marker) tothe centre of the cockpit of any model within the area of effect of the weapon youare firing. You hit all models whose cockpit's centre is within the area of effect.You now have to determine hit locations and roll to damage these models. If nomodels are within the area of effect the attack misses and this ends the attack.

6. DETERMINING HIT LOCATION This works exactly as determining hitlocation with a ranged weapon.

7. ROLL TO DAMAGE THE TARGET This works exactly as rolling todamage with a ranged weapon.IMPORTANT! You should roll separate hit locations and damage rolls on each targetwithin the area effect.

CLOSE COMBAT In order to assault a model in close combat, firstdeclare which assault weapon you intend to use and which target you're assaul-ting, then follow the procedure below.1. Establish close combat relation.2. Determine if target is within the weapon's assault arc and range .3. Roll to hit.4. Defender may parry .

13

5. Determine hit location.6. Roll to damage.

1. ESTABLISHING CLOSE COMBAT RELATION TO THE TARGETStart with establishing your position in relation to the facing of the target by usingthe relation arcs pictured above. Your position in relation to the target is either frontalif you are positioned within the front arc , flanking if you are positioned within eitherof the side arcs or ambushing if you are positioned within the rear arc.

2. TO DETERMINE IF THE TARGET IS WITHIN THE WEAPON'SASSAULT ARC AND RANGE An assault weapon can only hit a target whosecockpit is within its assault arc and range. The assault range is always 8 cm and theassault arc is measured in the same way as for a ranged weapon.IMPORTANT! A model within your assault arc and range is involved in close combatwith you and vice versa.

3. ROLLING TO HIT ROLL 2D6, if the sum is '2' you have missed automaticallyand this ends the attack. If the sum is '12' you may choose to automatically inflict onepoint of structural damage (you don't have to roll to damage the target, determine thehit location as usual) or add an additional dice to your roll to damage. Otherwise:

· Add 2 if you are flanking.

· Add 3 if you are ambushing .

· Deduct or add the weapon's hit modification .

If the result is 7 or more you have hit your target. If you hit, your opponent now hasthe possibility of parrying your assault. Otherwise you miss and this ends the attack.

4. DEFENDER MAY TRY TO PARRY THE ASSAULT If the opponentis equipped with a weapon, mounted on location 1 or 2, whose assault arc coincideswith the attacker's assault arc, he may choose to parry by rolling 2D6, deducting 1per structural damage point suffered at the hit location where the weapon is mountedand deducting 2 if the weapon is a ranged weapon.

If the result is higher than your modified roll to hit, your opponent successfullyparries your assault and this ends the attack, otherwise you have to determinewhat damage your weapon inflicts.IMPORTANT! You may never try to parry if you were ambushed. You may still parrywhen fallen over on your back, but not when fallen over on your torso.

5. DETERMINING HIT LOCATION This works exactly as determining hitlocation with a ranged weapon.

6. ROLL TO DAMAGE THE TARGET This works exactly as rolling damagewith a ranged weapon.

STOMPING You can perform a stomp attack on a model that is involved in closecombat with you and has fallen over. You hit automatically (no roll to hit is required) androll a hit location and one dice to damage the target, adding your weight class to the score.

STANDING UP If you have fallen over you may modify your heat factor withone plus your weight class to take a test to stand up. If you succeed you immediatelyraise your model to it's feet, otherwise it is still fallen over. You neverhave take a breaktest in order to stand up, even if standing up moves you out of close combat.

COLLIDING INTENTIONALLY When colliding with anothermodel you don't have to take the fall test if you performed an action to collideintentionally before the collision.

USING A MODEL PART The model part has effect according to its profileand, unless specifically stated otherwise, that effect lasts for the round during which youspent an action to use it. If a model part's profile states that no modification is requiredto your heat factor in order to use it, it is always active and gives its effect continuously.IMPORTANT! The effect of several identical model parts is cumulativeunless speci-fically stated otherwise. Model parts modifying a dice roll with a number statedwithin parenthesis are added together. The additional heat modification for usingthe same part several times per round is cumulative in addition to the usual heat

14

modification made in order to use the model part.IMPORTANT! You may never have more than two identical skill marks mounted onyour Ronin. The first will give you an adept degree and the second a master degree.If a skill mark indicates part of its effect within parenthesis, you should add the firstnumber within parenthesis if you have an adept degree or the second if you have amaster degree. IMPORTANT! A Skill mark requires one HARDPOINT.

COLLISONS AND FALLINGCOLLISIONS WITH IMPASSABLE TERRAIN If you collidewith impassable terrain or the ground due to movement or falling (any part of your modeltouches impassable terrain or the ground when falling) you’ll take fall damage. YOUROPPONENT ROLLS ONE D6 to damage you. If he rolls a 6 he may roll one additional dice(he may never roll more than one additional dice in this way) and add that to the total score.· Add 1 per 5 cm movement or fall height, without change of the direction of

travel prior to the collision.Roll a hit location and compare the score to the armour value as if inflicting damagewith a ranged weapon. In addition to this you must immediately take a fall test, addingyour weight class and deducting 1 per structural damage point suffered at hit location5 or 6. IMPORTANT! You don’t take fall damage as a result of falling over.

COLLISIONS WITH OTHER MODELS If you collide with another modeldue to movement or falling (any part of your model touches any part of the othermodel), YOU AND YOUR TARGET ROLL A D6 EACH to damage each other. If anyof you rolls a 6, that player may roll one additional dice (you may never roll more

than one additional dice in this way) and add that to his score.

· You both add your respective weight class to your scores.

· You add 1 per 5 cm movement or fall height without change of the directionof travel prior to the collision.

· You add 2 if you are flanking (according to the relation arcs, see close combat).

· You add 3 if you are ambushing (according to the relation arcs, see close combat).Roll hit locations. Then compare the respective scores to the armour value as ifinflicting damage with a ranged weapon. In addition to this you both immediatelyhave to take a fall test, adding your weight class and deducting 1 per structuraldamage point suffered at hit location 5 or 6.

MISSILES We've stated the general rules for using missiles herefor your convenience, rather than repeating them for every individual model part.A missile must always be attached to a missile ramp via the MAGLOCK systemuntil you perform an action to fire it.

FIRING A MISSILE You start by declaring an action to fire the missile, checkingfor overheating as usual. A missile is launched from its ramp by taking a missile launchtest, adding your weight class and deducting the missile's weight from the dice roll.

FAILING THE MISSILE LAUNCH TEST If you fail the missile launchtest, the missile will behave exactly as if you succeded the launch test with theexception that its initial direction will change. Roll a D6, if the result is 1-3 it islaunched 45° left of the direction it is pointing, if the result is 4-6 it is launched45° right of the direction it is pointing.

15

SUCCEEDING THE MISSILE LAUNCH TEST If you succeed the missilemust immediately perform one movement action to move its full range in the direc-tion of its point, and may not change its direction of travel unless specifically statedotherwise. The missile moves in this manner immediately after every round performedby the Ronin that fired it, except for the round it was fired (or instead of that Ronin ifit is destroyed). Until it either moves within its sensor range which is 6 cm from amodel's cockpit, or touches impassable terrain or a model when it explodes immedi-ately. If a missile moves out of the playing field it is removed from the game.

· A missile only encumbers your model with it's weightas long as it is mountedon the missile ramp, once fired you loose that weight and modify your weightclass accordingly. A missile can only be fired once per game.· You can only attach missiles to a missile ramp with an accumulated total weight equal to or less than the weight capacity of the missile ramp.

· You can fire ranged weapons at a missile as if it was an ordinary model. If you inflict damage on the missile it explodes immediately , affecting all modelswithin its area effect .

· The missile moves 5 cm above the ground (useful f.ex. in regard of deter-mining collisions with terrain). It can climb slopes lower than 45°, effecti-vely adding the height of the climbed terrain to it's moving height.

· If a missile leaves the playing field it cannot return.

LOCKING ON A TARGET Some missiles can lock on a target. These missilesall have a lock range of 16 cm and a lock arc of 90°, measuring from the point ofthe missile. Once launched the missile will, when moving, lock onto the targetwithin the lock range that best meets the lock requirements of the missile. If thereis no target within the lock range and arc it will search for a target within doubleits lock range. If there is no target within the increased lock range, the missile willcontinue to move in its direction of travel.

If a missile has locked on a target it will move towards that target if possible. Itmay perform a up to 90° turn at half of, and at the end of its movement in order tokeep its point as best aimed at its target as possible. A missile that is locked on is onlyactivated when it moves into sensory range of the locked target.

CHANGING TARGETS If a new target comes into the lock range and arc ofthe missile, during its round, that better meets the lock requirements than thecurrent target, you must immediately take a lock on test. If the test is successful,the missile remains locked on its initial target. Otherwise, it locks on the new target.

GAME VARIANTSPLAYING HIDDEN If you are three or more players, you should reallytry the interesting game variant of playing "hidden". One player takes on the roleof "referee" and will secretly keep track of the models as they move over the playingfield taking note of what they see (models that are within their line of sight) andwhat they belive is there (models that are within their radar range).

Only the player whose turn it is may attend the gaming table and all modelsplayed by other players (even friendly) outside line of sight and radar range areremoved from the playing field by the referee. Models within radar range are indicatedby a marker on the playing field by the referee, and as the model moves during theround the referee carefully monitors if the model gets line of sight to any new modelsand if so places them on the playing field; or gets any new models within radar rangeand if so, indicates that by placing a marker on the playing field. As soon as the playerdeclares an action involving another model, or moves within line of sight of anothermodel, the player controlling that model is allowed to attend the gaming table assoon as all other models outside line of sight and/or radar range controlled by theplayer currently taking his round are removed from the playing field.

KEEPING TRACK OF THE MODELS The system we've designed to keeptrack of the models is fairly straight forward.· Measure the distance from the model to the edge of the short side of the playing

field closest to the model. Assign a minus in front of the number if it was measured from the right edge from where you are standing.· Measure the distance from the model to the edge of the long side of the playingfield closest to the model. Assign a minus in front of the number if it was measured from the top edge (opposite the side you are standing).

16

· Make a note of the model's direction of travel as well as facing in degrees in relationto 0 degrees being a straight line from long side to long side (or imagine a clock-face centred at the model, with top side of the table indicating 12 o'clock).

· When removing the model from the table, be sure to not change its facing.

Now you should have a position for the model that should look something like this: 20cm, 32 cm, 45 degrees. This means that the model's position is 20 cm from the leftedge of the playing field, 32 cm from bottom edge of the playing field (the one closestto you) with a 45 degree (that's northeast or half past one) direction of travel in relationto our designated 0 degree direction of travel.

DURATION Sometimes you want to alter the victory conditions a bit, makingthe game play different. Something that we suggest in order to achieve this is todecide for fixed duration for the game, for instance 6 rounds. This means that eachRonin still left in the game must have taken 6 rounds before the game is over. Thevictor is the Ronin that have inflicted the most structural damage on enemy Ronin.

TEAM PLAY In order to make the game more exciting and competitive youcan chose to play in teams. First make sure that the forces are balanced. Whenyou decide who goes first, each side nominates a player who gets to make the roll.The side that gets the highest score gets to decide whether to go first or second.The side that goes first nominates one side of the playing field as theirs. Then thesides take turns placing their Ronin on the playing field, this is also the order ofplay. Make sure all Ronin from the same team are placed on the same side of theplaying field. Once all Ronin have been placed on the playing field the game can

begin. In team play you lose one point for each structural point inflicted on friendlymodels. The winners are the team that has lost less amount of points.

CONQUER THE BATTLEFIELD This variant is suitable for multi-Roningames. Before you begin, divide the playing field into a number of areas (4-8 is suitable).Then decide a number of rounds you shall play before determining the outcome of thebattle. The object is to control the most areas. You control an area by being the only sidewith a least one Ronin in it. The victor is the side that at the end of the game (when all Roninsin the game have performed the number of rounds decided beforehand) controls the mostareas. If the game is a draw you play another full round, until one side is victorious.

SUPREMACY Before the game begins you designate a number of control pointson the playing field. The aim of this variant is to score points by, at the end of each roundcontrol as many of the control points as possible. You take control of a control point bymoving over it. The points are distributed after each of the Ronin remaining on the playingfield have taken a round. We recommend that you use some kind of differently colouredmarkers (we use dice) in order to keep track of which Ronin currently control the controlpoint. The victor is the side which first reaches the before hand agreed number of points.

HOLD THE FORT One side, the defenders, try to hold a strategically importantpiece of terrain, 'the Fort', preferably on the middle of the playing field. The other side, theattackers, are allowed to field their Ronin on any side of the playing field. The object of thegame is for the attackers to conquer the Fort by making sure that no defending Ronin is leftin the Fort when the duration of the game is over. If they succeed they are victorious. If thereare any defending Ronin left in the Fort at the end of the game the defending side is victorious.

Finally apply all the magnets tothe magnet attachment points.8

Place the next foot on the table tocorrectly gauge the leg's placement.3Attach the abdomen to the leg.

Make sure that the peg is pointing up.2Place the foot on a table. Makesure that the leg is not straight.1

Attach the cockpit facing straightand the upper arms to the sockets.7Now the torso should be able to

revolve freely around the peg.6Attach the chest to the back. Makesure not to apply glue to the peg.5Place the back around the

abdomen's peg.4

ASSEMBLING YOUR RONINBefore you start to assemble your Ronin we suggest that you carefullyread the rules for the model parts you intend to use. Pay special atten-tion to where on your Ronin the different model parts can be mountedand what effect they give when mounted there. It is also recommendedthat you study the pictures of assembled Ronin that you find in thisrulebook. Hopefully they will be great inspiration to you when posingyour model dynamically as well as when painting it. They will also letyou avoid mistakes such as posing an unbalanced Ronin, which willhave trouble standing up on the battlefield. Also remember to pose thearms so that they don't interfere with the revolving of the torso.

Something that is important while assembling your Ronin is tolet the glue dry properly before attaching a new model part. Shouldyou rush it is very likely that some parts will start to come apart, makingthe job of assembling the Ronin much more difficult than it has to be. TIP! With some modelling skill you can be able to redesign your modelin between games. Use Maghit or Maglock magnets to attach the modelparts to the structures instead of glue.
