Team Battle Overview

Overview

Strategy of War only requires two players, however it can also be enjoyed by an unlimited number of Commanders. In team Battle games, each Commander may act independently or work together as teams of allies.

Team Battle games are simple and fast because each Commander has only one Base Location to defend and launch their forces from. The battlefield map in a team battle game is the biggest difference from the standard game.

In front of each Base Location is an empty Battlefield Location; all other Battlefield Locations are removed. Imagine that you are playing a single player game with each Commander. In theory, each Base Location is two Battlefield Locations away. Because each Commander is basically directly across from you, Units use range as normal.

Battle Rules

In addition to the basic rules, the following new rules and changes affect game play for team battles:

• All games that require teams can be chosen randomly or use predetermined members.
• Teams MAY NOT conspire by showing each other their cards or telling any Commander their strategy.
• Allies may not sit next to each other to prevent a team from having two consecutive turns.
• Allied Units may occupy the same location (including Base Locations).
• Commanders have a maximum of 3 minutes to execute their entire turn.
• Each Commander OWNS ONLY ONE “generic” Base Location, not two. A generic Base Location has a defense and NO Directives. The “generic” Base Location is considered all class types and divisions when targeted.
• A Unit can use a movement of 3 to be adjacent to any Commander’s Base Location. The Battlefield Locations are set as if you are playing in a direct line with each Commander.
• All team battle games use a modified Battlefield Location called the Dead Zone.
