More on Transport

A single Transport Module cannot move the same unit twice by any means.

More on Electro Net fighter

During the game it is possible that a Net Fighter of an opponent [A] disables a Generator [B] which provides Power Supply to Electro Net Fighter [C] while the Electro Net Fighter disables the opponent's Net Fighter [A]. In such a case the opponent's Net Fighter [A] disables a Generator [B] therefore the Electro Net Fighter [C] is also disabled.

Uranopolis vs Vegas

Agitators and the Vegas HQ automatically provide a Power Supply to taken over units.

More on Power Supply

The Outpost's Skoper rids connected Uranopolis Modules of the Power Source ability.

If a unit requires a Power Supply and it becomes connected to it during a Battle then it operates normally for the following Initiative phases of the current Battle. If a unit receives the required Power Supply in an Initiative phase lower than the Initiative phase in which the unit normally attacks, it doesn't attack..

More on Ravager

Ravager's attack is not carried out from any direction but it comes from above, so neither Armor nor Steel Police's Reflection protects from the attack.

The printed example of the Ravager's attack is a diagram with no further text.

Army Description

The main advantage of the army is the large number of units with powerful attack strength as well as their Toughness. Thanks to their Toughness, more Uranopolis units remain on the board after each battle compared to an opponent's forces.

The disadvantage of the army is a unique feature of most of the units, which makes the units require a Power Supply to operate in the regular way.

Tactical Advice

Fighting units should be placed on the board in such a manner so as to be able to provide them with as many opportunities to connect to the Power Supply as possible. The best source of the Power Supply is the HQ and it's best to place it in the center area of the board (except for games against Borgo). Specifically protect the HQ from the opponent's Net Fighters, so they can't deprive Uranopolis of the main source of Power Supply.

Advice for the opponent: Most of the Uranopolis fighting units requires connection to a Power Supply to operate and therefore, they require a minimum of two fields for two adjacent tokens. It's a good tactic against Uranopolis to leave gaps on the board in the form of single unoccupied fields. It should also be noted that it is often easier to annihilate a Module with the Power Supply ability than destroying a tough Warrior.

Power Supply

Most units of Uranopolis require a Power Supply to operate in the regular way. Such units are marked with a plug symbol.

When you place such a unit on the board you should put a No Power marker on it.

As long as the No Power marker is placed on the unit it is treated the same way as a netted unit (thus it cannot move, attack, push back, add bonus abilities, etc.).

As soon as a unit is connected to a Power Supply it can fully operate and the No Power marker should be discarded. A Power Supply is marked with a socket symbol.

When a unit looses connection to the required Power Supply, you should immediately put the No Power marker back on the unit and treat it the same way as a netted unit.

A unit is connected to a Power Supply when it is adjacent to the Uranopolis HQ, adjacent to a particular side of the Mechanic token, or connected to a Module providing Power Supply. The following units of the Uranopolis army provide a Power Supply: HQ, Mechanic, particular Modules (Combat Generator, Acceleration Generator and Transport).

Example: the Hammerhead receives Power Supply from a connected Acceleration Generator (both tiles are outlined in blue). The Drill, on the other hand, has no connection to a Power Supply, so it is marked with a No Power marker.
