Notes

Game Rules

3061

• In common with every other unit in the Clan Ghost Bear touman at this point in time, the units within the Fifty-fifth PGC receive a +1 modifier to any dice roll on Random Weight-Class tables to determine Star or Binary/Trinary type.
• When units from the Fifty-fifth PGC are the defenders, the attacking force has two choices: to bargain for safcon, or to attack, with different rules coming into play based on the chosen option:

• If the attacker bargains for safcon, the Fifty-fifth PGC player chooses which edge of the map will be his home edge first.
• If the attacker bargains for safcon, the Fifty-fifth PGC player wins Initiative automatically in the first turn, and receives a +1 Bonus to Initiative rolls for the remainder of the game.
• If the attacker elects to attack, 2d6 is rolled for each attacking unit. On a roll of 12, that unit is destroyed. On a roll of 2, that unit suffers 2d6 damage allocated in 5-point clusters.

• If the attacker is arriving via a combat drop, he may not request safcon. Instead of rolling for potential damage as described above, the attacker must apply a +2 modifier to the landing roll target number for each dropping unit.
