Even The Odds

Before battle, compare the total Power Level of each mustered army. If either player's army exceeds the PL limit for battle, a Command Point bonus is calculated based on either the RAW PL limit for the selected battle size OR the smallest army size, whichever is greater. The difference between that number and the larger army size results in a Command Point bonus for the smaller army commander as follows:

Army sizes may not differ by more than 10 PL

Further Your Mission

Commanders alternate selecting battle missions and locations. The player that selects will also decide whether they are the attacker or defender, unless other rules dictate that designation

Homeworlds

If a Homeworld territory is selected, the invading army will always be the attacker. The Homeworld defender selects a Supply Bonus from the list to be awarded on a successful defense of the Homeworld. Homeworlds may have 3 Supply Bonuses assigned at any time, and these Supply Bonuses may be swapped upon a successful defense.

If a Homeworld assault is successful, the attacker rolls one D6 to determine an additional Victor bonus.

Homeworld affiliations never change.

It's an Invasion

An attack on an enemy Homeworld may be announced if one or more of the following circumstances is fulfilled:

Victor's Spoils

In the event that a custom rule randomly grants Requisition Points and the victor's RP balance is 4+ before the battle ends, their RP balance may increase to 6 until the beginning of the next battle.

Supreme Commander

If a Warlord has newly-gained access to Traits or Relics outlined in their codex, they may be applied and replace a previously selected option for no additional cost.

If you wish to replace a Trait or Relic at any time, you may do so by adding 1 to the cost of the Warlord Trait or Relic requisition. In this instance, do not decrease this unit's Crusade Points total, even if the replacement would normally result in a decrease.
