Attrition:

Occurs when friendly force must retreat through enemy force on campaign map
Occurs when out of supply. The territory occupied by a friendly force is no longer connected to friendly territory
Results in every unit in the army gaining a losses token and is cumulative for each turn out of supply or for every enemy force retreated through
If in friendly unlooted territory, out of supply attrition is avoided for one turn. Territory becomes looted.
Can be recovered over time by remaining in supply. Remove on losses marker per turn

Strategic Actions:

Move Forces:

Skirmish forces can move two spaces through unoccupied enemy territory, neutral territory,or three spaces through friendly territory
Task forces can move one space through unoccupied enemy and neutral territory or two spaces through friendly territory

Reinforce Forces:

Raise New Forces:

Must be raised in home territory
- Territory cannot currently have enemy forces in it
Points are all that needs to be reported for the campaign.
Create list before the game. Only use a skirmish force if one side is too small
Supplies for upgrades provided as per army builder
Any force must be a minimum of 22 points

Scout:

A player may use their forces to scout the enemy forces in adjacent territories
Scouting may be done by spending 5 thalers for army intelligence of 2 but this is lost money
The scouting player rolls 1d6 for each point in army intelligence with a -1 modifier for each point of the enemy force’s army intelligence
Every successful of roll 4+ reveals information (a roll of 6 always succeeds)
1 success = size of enemy force (skirmish or task force)
2 successes = previous information as well as number of units
3+ successes = previous information and reveal one unit. Any further successes reveal more units

Combat:

Occurs when one force moves into a territory with an enemy force
All combats are points vs points, determine the best size game based on what you have

Fleeing and Retreating

A force can choose to flee from a combat on the campaign map
Retreat occurs after losing a battle or voluntarily retreating from a battle
The fleeing/retreating player must move their force its maximum move away from the enemy and avoiding any other enemy forces while ending the move in friendly territory
If it is not possible to end in friendly territory then the force will take attrition
If the fleeing/retreating force must flee through territories occupied by enemy forces, it will take attrition
A fleeing force will gain information on the units comprising the size of the enemy force

Capturing/Looting Territory:

Upon occupying an enemy territory, you may choose to capture it or loot it
In order to fully capture a territory a force must either win a battle in that territory or occupy the territory for one full year
Skirmish forces cannot capture enemy territory
Allies which are not allowed to capture territory may capture it for an ally that is allowed
Looting a territory removes its ability to supply forces for 1d3 turns and provides 1d6 loot tokens valued at 10 Thalers each

Loot Tokens:

Loot tokens may be used by the owning force during the Reinforce Forces strategic action
Forces may return to their home region to drop off loot tokens which will add their value to the national Thaler pool
If a force carrying loot tokens loses a battle, the opposing player gains tokens from that pool first when rolling for post-battle loot
If a force carrying loot tokens is destroyed, the opposing player gains all of their loot tokens

Post Battle Losses:

Loss of Home Region:

If you’re home region is lost, you may choose to join the side that captured it as a vassal
