Introduction

The Trojan War is a 2-player game about the legendary conflict between the ancient Greeks and the city of Troy, immortalized in Homer's epic poem The Iliad, in 1185 B.C.

The game is played over a Hex-grid Map depicting the Scamander Plain, with each playing piece representing a specific Hero of the armies, together with the common foot soldiers led by them.

There are 11 Scenarios that can be played, each of them as a stand-alone battle. They can also be played chronologically as a Campaign covering the entire siege of Troy.

Counters

Blue-Green Unit counters are Greek, while Orange-Red Unit counters are Trojans. The top-left number on the Unit counters is the Attack Factor, top-right number is the Defense Factor, bottom-left number is the Movement Allowance.

A few Hero Units are armed with bows and have a Bow Attack Factor highlighted in a colored box.

Some Unit counters have an "R" next to their Class and this indicates that the Hero is a Replacement, which can only come out once casualties begin to happen during the course of the battle. Some Unit counters also have an "*" underneath their Class, and these Heroes are only available in specific Scenarios.

In addition to Unit counters, there are also Combat Results Markers used to indicate modifiers applied on Hero counters during Combat.

Acts of Intervention by the Gods of Greek Mythology are represented by Counters that help the players in a variety of ways. From giving bonuses in Combat, shielding Heroes from harm, to even rescuing fallen Heroes from capture, God Intervention Counters are essential to either players' victory.

Finally, there are Markers used to keep track of Victory Points each player accumulates during the battle and the current game turn.

Preparation for Play

a) Both players decide which Scenario they wish to play and which side they will play as.

b) Each player takes all Hero Unit counters for their side without "R" or "*" on them.

c) Using the Scenario outline, players remove Heroes indicated and add the indicated "R" and "*" Heroes needed.

d) Both players draw the number of God Intervention Counters needed without looking at them.

e) Both players take 15 Chariots each.

f) Set up as indicated in the Scenario outline. The player who takes the first turn sets up their Hero Unit and Chariot counters first.

g) Start the first turn, skipping the first player's Rally Phase.

Sequence of Play

Each Game-Turn consists of several phases, which must be performed in order. The Scenario rules indicate which side moves first.

a) First Player's Turn

Rally Phase ("Stun" & "Panic" Combat Results can be removed)
Movement Phase
Combat Phase
Joint Replacement Phase (Both players take Replacements, if any)

b) Second Player's Turn

Rally Phase
Movement Phase
Combat Phase
Joint Replacement Phase

Movement Phase

During each Movement Phase, the current player may move some, none, or all of his Hero and Chariot Unit counters. Each Unit may be moved in any direction or combination of directions up to their maximum Movement Allowance Value per turn. A Unit may move less than its Movement Allowance and does not have to move at all if the player wishes. Unused movement may not be saved for the next turn. Units may not leave the map, except by Evacuation.

Example: Achilles, who has a Movement Allowance of 9, may move nine Hexes each turn.

a) Friendly Units- A Unit may freely move through any Hex occupied by other Units on their side. Any number of friendly Units may end their movement in the same Hex; however, this may affect them negatively during Combat.

b) Enemy Units- A Unit may NEVER move into or through a Hex occupied by a non-killed enemy Hero. An enemy Hero also exerts a Zone of Control (ZoC) into nearby Hexes, which slows down movement of Hero's within them. Leaving a Hex in an enemy PZoC or SZoC costs two points of a Hero's Movement Allowance, in addition to the cost of entering the next Hex (for a total of three points).

ZoC's extend into, but not through, non-killed enemy Heroes and Walls.
Wounded and Killed Heroes do not exert any ZoC.
Empty Chariots do not exert any ZoC.
Stunned and Panicked Heroes only exert a PZoC.

c) Chariots- Each Chariot can carry up to 2 friendly non-killed Heroes at a time. They can also be used to transport 1 killed friendly or enemy Hero alongside 1 friendly non-killed Hero.

A Chariot may only pick up Heroes that begin the turn in its Hex.
A Chariot moves at its normal Movement Allowance, loaded or empty. It may enter an enemy PZoC only if it is carrying a Normal or Stunned Hero.
A Chariot may drop off a Hero in any Hex that it moves through. The Chariot may continue moving, but the Hero may not move any further by itself that turn.
Capturing Chariots- A Hero may move into or through Hexes occupied by empty enemy Chariots without penalty. If a Hero ends the Combat Phase in the same Hex as an enemy Chariot, the Chariot becomes friendly.

Combat Phase

Each Normal Greek or Trojan Hero which is next to an enemy Hero during its own Combat Phase may attack that enemy Hero. No more than one attacker may attack a single defender at a time. Attack Factors may NOT be combined. If there is more than one Hero occupying a Hex, then none of them may attack. They may still counterattack.

Only one attacking Hero is allowed to put Combat Results on a single defender in a turn. A defender may be attacked by another Hero ONLY if the first Hero's attack(s) were ineffective ("Miss" or "Chariot Hit"). A single attacker may attack a defender more than once per Combat Phase, possibly accumulating Combat Results on the defending Hero.

If ONE Stunned, Panicked, or Wounded Hero is in the same Hex as ONE Normal Hero, the owning player decides which one will defend against an attack. In any other type of defending stack, the attacking player decides which Hero will defend.

Combat Procedure

a) Attack- Subtracting the Defense Factor of the defending Hero from the Attack Factor of the attacking Hero gives the Combat Differential. This can be positive, negative, or zero. Finding the corresponding column on the Combat Results Table (CRT), the attacking player rolls the d6 and cross-references the column and the line on the CRT to determine which Combat Result (if any) is applied to the defending Hero.

Example: Menelaus attacking Pirus is a 6 minus 4 attack, which gives a Combat Differential of +2. If a 3 is rolled, then Pirus would be Stunned.

b) Counterattack- After every attack, whether the attack was successful or not, the defending Hero may counterattack even if it has already counterattacked during that turn. Combat Results just suffered by the defender are not considered. However, PREVIOUS Combat Results are considered; these may prevent the counterattack from occurring. Counterattacking is conducted just like a normal attack. Any Hero may counterattack any number of times, provided they retain a Normal state.

Example: Pirus' counterattack is 5 minus 7, which is a Combat Differential of -2. If a 2 is rolled, the Combat Result is a "Miss". Pirus' Stun is not considered for the counterattack due to it being sustained during this specific attack.

c) Retreating- If the defending Hero suffers a "Miss", "Chariot Hit", or "Stun" Combat Result they have the option to Retreat. An attacking Hero that suffers a "Chariot Hit" or "Stun" Combat Result from a counterattack also has the option to Retreat. All Heroes that suffer a "Panic" or "Wound" Combat Result MUST Retreat.

A Hero on foot Retreats one Hex.
A Hero on a Chariot Retreats up to two Hexes.
While Retreating, the Hero may not enter any enemy PZoC's, and if they are surrounded by PZoC's then Retreat is not possible.
A Hero may never Retreat into a Hex occupied by an enemy non-killed Hero, an enemy Wall, or off the Map.
Only the attacked or counterattacked Heroes may Retreat, not any other Heroes stacked in the same Hex with them.

Example: Pirus, having suffered a "Stun" Combat Result during this attack, may Retreat one Hex away from Menelaus. Menelaus may not Retreat since Pirus' counterattack was a "Miss".

d) Advancing- The attacker may Advance if:

The defender Retreats or is killed.
The attacker does not suffer a "Stun" or worse Combat Result from the defender's counterattack.

The defender may never Advance, regardless of the counterattacks results.

Advancing is along the defender's Retreat path or into killed Hero's Hex; one Hex if the attacker is on foot and up to two Hexes if on a Chariot.
Advancing is always voluntary, but it must be done immediately, before any other attack commences.

Example: Menelaus may Advance into the Hex that Pirus just Retreated out of.

Multiple Attacks (Hero Classes)

The type of Class the Hero Unit has on their counters determines how many times that Hero may attack per turn. Remember that only Heroes who retain a Normal state may attack.

Class III Heroes may attack three times per Combat Phase.
Class II Heroes may attack two times per Combat Phase.
Class I Heroes may attack once per Combat Phase.

The defender of the second or third attack may be the same Hero, or it may be a different Hero.

Example: Menelaus may attack Pirus again, this time benefiting from Pirus' Stun. Pirus may not counterattack since he is Stunned.

Bow Attacks

Bow attacks may be done by Heroes with Bow Attack Factors. These attacks are done against enemy Heroes that are two to three Hexes away. Intervening Hexes may not be a Wall, or occupied by a non-killed Hero, unless the bowman is firing from atop a Wall. The attack can fire along the edge of a Hex which has a Wall or friendly Hero.

The Combat Procedure for Bow attacks are the same as any other attacks, with the following exceptions:

No counterattack may occur.
The defender must Retreat away from the attacker.
The bowman does not Advance.

Example: Paris can fire at Ajax, but not at Sinon or Achilles.

Combat Results

a) Miss- The attack is unsuccessful.

b) Chariot Hit- One enemy Chariot is removed from the affected Hero's Hex. If no Chariot is present, then this result is considered a "Miss".

c) Stun- The Hero's Defense Factor is reduced by 1.

d) Panic- The Hero's Defense Factor is reduced by 2. The Hero may not enter an enemy Hero's PZoC without an escort.

e) Wounded- The Hero's Defense Factor is halved (round fractions down). The Hero may not enter an enemy Hero's PZoC without an escort.

f) Killed- The Hero is slain and is flipped over and left on the Map.

If a Hero that already bears a Combat Result receives that Result again, it changes to the next most severe Result:

Stun + Stun = Panic
Panic + Panic = Wounded
Wounded + Wounded = Killed

If the Hero receives a worse Combat Result than one already acquired prior, then it replaces the previous Result. However, if the Hero receives a less severe Result, then it is ignored.

Rallying

During the Rallying Phase, the player whose turn it is rolls the d6 for each of their Heroes that are either Stunned or Panicked. Wounded Heroes cannot be Rallied.

Panicked Heroes cannot Rally if they are in an enemy Hero's PZoC.
Stunned Heroes Rally on a roll of a 4 or higher.
Panicked Heroes Rally on a roll of 5 or higher.

Rally Assistance- If a friendly Class II or III Hero is in the same or adjacent Hex as the Hero attempting to Rally, then a positive modifier is applied to their die roll.

A Hero may not give Rally Assistance if he's also Stunned, Panicked, Wounded, or Killed.
- Class II Heroes add a +1 modifier.
- Class III Heroes add a +2 modifier.

The Hero may give Rally Assistance the same turn he Rallies. No more than one Hero can assist on a die roll. However, a single Hero may assist more than one die roll.

Example: A Stunned Odysseus becomes Normal if a 2 or higher is rolled due to Achilles's +2 modifier as a Class III Hero.

Replacements

Whenever a Hero is Killed, the owning player takes one new Hero that is marked with an "R". A Replacement is also taken for each Wounded Hero that is successfully Evacuated. No more than 12 Replacement Heroes for each side may be on the board.

Replacement Heroes are placed on the last Hex-row of the Map, behind the Wall of Troy for the Trojans and on Ship Hexes that are not Destroyed for the Greeks. They may not be placed in enemy PZoC's. A Replacement Hero may be placed on the Map in any Joint Replacement Phase of the following turn the original Hero was Killed (even during the opponent's turn). When a Replacement Hero is Killed, they are immediately removed from the board.

During the Campaign, Killed Replacements may be recycled back into the Replacement Pool to be used again in other Scenarios.

Rendering Aid

Although Panicked and Wounded Heroes still possess the ability to move by themselves, they are unable to move into/through enemy PZoC's. however, they may be Escorted by another friendly Normal Hero. The Normal Hero moves into the Hex and then continues its movement accompanied by the Panicked or Wounded Hero. A single Normal Hero may only Escort one other Hero in a turn.

Chariot movement may be used if both the transported and transporting Heroes begin in the same Hex with the Chariot, or if both Heroes begin in different Hexes but both have Chariots.

The Normal Hero may "drop off" the other Hero at any point during the movement. The Panicked or Wounded Hero may not move by itself in that turn.

Killed Heroes- May be transported by friendly or enemy Chariots, or even friendly or enemy Heroes. The transporting Hero may not bear any Combat Results. Movement is not hindered, but a Hero carrying a Killed Hero while on foot cannot attack during the Combat Phase (counterattacks are still possible). If a Hero transporting a Killed Hero suffers a "Stun" or worse Combat Result, then they immediately drop the Killed Hero.
Evacuations- If a Killed or Wounded Hero reaches the last Hex-row on its side of the Map, behind its own Wall, then they are removed off the Map and are safe from further harm.
- Wounded Heroes may not return to the Map unless Healed by God Intervention.
- Killed Heroes are considered Captured if they are taken to the enemies last Hex-row. Captured Heroes are more valuable when allocating Victory Points.

Walls

The Walls of Troy and the Greek Sea Wall are considered friendly to their respective forces. Heroes on Walls exert normal ZoC's in all directions.

a) Movement- Friendly Heroes move normally through Wall Hexes. Enemy Heroes must end their movement when moving onto the Wall from the ground. They may not enter enemy PZoC's, unless the enemy Heroes are exerting that ZoC from the ground. Enemy Chariots may not move onto a Wall. All Units move normally from Wall Hex to Wall Hex or from Wall Hex to ground.

b) Defense- When a Hero on a friendly Wall is attacked or counterattacked by a Hero on the ground, its Defense Factor is increased.

Trojan Wall gives a +3 modifier to Trojan Heroes.
Greek Sea Wall gives a +2 modifier to Greek Heroes.

c) Greek Sea Wall- If four or more non-Killed Trojan Heroes are on or behind the Greek Sea Wall at any time, the wall is Destroyed for the rest of the battle. All Hexes are considered normal for all purposes.

Intervention of the Gods

Before play begins, all God Intervention Counters are flipped face-down and thoroughly mixed up. Each player then draws the number indicated in the Scenario that is being played, without the other player seeing them. Some Scenarios may specify additional, non-random counters players can use.

Each God Intervention Counter may only be played once per game, and after it is played, they are removed from the players' pile. A player may not use more than one per turn. The player places his Gods Intervention This Turn counter on the Game Turn Track as a reminder. However, this does NOT include God Intervention Counters and other events outlined in the Scenario's special rules.

NOTE: An (*) in the title of the counters listed below may not be played DURING a die roll, to change an already announced attack or counterattack.

a) *A God Fights- Placing this counter on a Hero will grant them a +2 modifier to their Defense Factors and to the die rolls for each attack or counterattack by that Hero.

At the start of their Rally Phase, the player rolls the d6 for each Hero with this counter. The counter is removed on a roll of 1 or 2.

b) * Strength & Courage- Placing this counter on a Hero will grant them a +1 modifier to both their Attack and Defense Factors.

This counter is removed off the Hero if it ever suffers a "Panic" or "Wounded" Combat Result.
At the start of their Rally Phase, the player rolls the d6 for each Hero with this counter. The counter is removed on a roll of a 1.

c) Render an Enemy Helpless- A player can use this counter at the end of their Combat Phase, which allows them to place a "Panic" marker on any enemy Hero. If the Hero chosen is already Panicked, then it is "Wounded" instead.

d) Deflect Weapon- A player may play this immediately after any attack or counterattack. A single Combat Result which has just been applied to a friendly Hero can be reduced.

Chariot Hit is a Miss.
Stun is a Miss.
Panic becomes a Stun.
Wound becomes a Panic.
Killed becomes Wound.

e) *Stop Weapon- Playing this on a friendly Hero, it may not be attacked during the enemy Combat Phase of the current turn. He MAY be counterattacked. This counter is automatically removed from the Hero at the end of the enemy Combat Phase.

f) *Mist- Placing this counter on a friendly Hero, that Hero may not attack, or be attacked. The Hero also does not exert a ZoC. Other Heroes in the Hex are unaffected. The Mist is removed whenever the affected Hero leaves the Hex, or when the owning player wishes.

g) *Rescue a Hero- A non-killed friendly Hero is removed from the Map. Chariots remain behind. On the next Joint Replacement Phase, the Rescued Hero can re-enter the Map as if he were a Replacement.

h) *Rescue a Slain Hero- A Killed friendly Hero is removed from the Map to prevent Capture. Chariots remain behind. The Hero may have been transported by the enemy, but it may not have already been removed from the Map by the enemy.

i) Heal- During the friendly Rally Phase, a "Stun", "Panic", or "Wound" Combat Result is removed from a friendly Hero.

Victory Points

In most Scenarios, Victory is determined by Victory Points. Each player has a "1x", "10x", and "100x" counter. When a player receives Victory Points, he moves his counters on the Game-Turn Record Track on the Map. Victory points are awarded as follows:

Killing a Hero: Class Number times Attack Factor.
Wounding a Hero: ½ Class Number times Attack Factor.
Killing a Wounded Hero: ½ Class Number times Attack Factor.
Capturing a Killed Hero: Class Number times Attack Factor.

Aggressiveness- If a player has fewer than ten non-Killed Heroes outside of his own Wall at the end of his own Movement Phase, the other player receives 4 Victory Points each turn that this happens.

This rule is ignored if the Greek Sea Wall is torn down.

In some Scenarios, victory depends on the destruction of Ship Hexes. If a Normal Trojan Hero begins the Trojan Movement Phase on a Ship Hex, that Ship is permanently Destroyed.
