GAME RULES 2.0 MERCS is designed with the idea that a miniatures combat game should look and feel, on a table, like real combat. It is logical in its associations and what it chooses to make important in combat. It places a on good, sound tactics. This is not a game where players sit back and shoot at each other from across the tabletop. Victory has everything to do with the choices you make on the table. Learn to think tactically. Suppress and move. Maintain squad discipline, but control the table. Create firing lanes, and punish those who move through them. Combat begins and ends with movement. Everyone can shoot; survivors know when to shoot and when to relocate. Each MegaCon plays extremely differently, having intrinsic strengths and weaknesses. Learn them, then create tactics and adapt in the flow of battle to take advantage of the MegaCon you play. If you learn to marry solid tactics with MegaCon strengths, you will become a formidable player in the world of MERCS.

WHAT YOU NEED To play any tabletop miniature game, players need stuff. With some games, lots, and lots, and lots of stuff. MERCS tries to limit the stuff players need. Players need some MERCS miniatures, reference cards, d10s, and the rules. From the beginning, MERCS was created so that players could pick it up and play it at any table with minimum investment. That does not mean we don’t like terrain, and counters, and books, and dice, and all that other cool stuff. On the contrary, we love miniature gaming and everything that goes along with it. MERCS can be played with 3D terrain as easily as it can be played on one of our 2D mats.

MINIATURES MERCS miniatures are dynamic, highly detailed, and award-winning. MERCS was originally, and will always be, detailed miniatures with a cool factor that is off the charts. Our miniatures come in a variety of poses, sizes, styles, and genders.

REFERENCE CARDS MERCS uses reference cards to provide players with stats and abilities for the MERCS they are using in a skirmish. The reference cards are used in all aspects of the game. Reference cards include: •

MERC stats

•

Movement

•

Rule reference

•

Range measurement

•

Keyword explanation

•

Templates

•

Modifier reference

The corporate trait card has a unique shape. Around the border of the card are four die-cut semi-circles. These circles are the same circumference as the 30mm bases on which all MERCS miniatures stand. These circles are used to measure the movement of the miniatures across the tabletop. For a comprehensive breakdown of the reference card, see page 26.

DICE MERCS miniatures are categorized as 28mm heroic scale miniatures. Any terrain compatible with this scale can be used without issue.

MERCS uses 10-sided dice, referred to as d10s. MERCS requires players to use one d10 per MERC. If players use MERCS dice, the 10 is represented by the MERCS helmet icon. If players use generic d10s, the 10 is represented by a zero in most cases.

Your FLGS (friendly local game store) probably carries MERCS already. If they don’t, tell them to. You can also find a plethora of cool MERCS goodness on our website www.megacongames.com.

CHOOSING YOUR TEAM A MERCS team includes five . Each faction has 10 distinct archetypes players choose from to create their team. Players select their MERCS team based on play style, terrain, opposing faction, and fun. There are no right answers, but there is one restriction. A team can field only one of any particular archetype. For example, a CCC player cannot take two Medics or two Incinerators. However, this is the only restriction, and there are no team requirements. Players can, for example, choose to not take a Leader.

In MERCS, success is always defined as rolling equal to or greater than the required target number.

COUNTERS Counters are used to track status effects. This rule book comes with a full sheet of counter tokens. These tokens have icons on them that represent various status effects.

WHAT YOU NEED

Counters are placed either on the play area or on the card of the MERC. For example, every blood a MERC suffers in damage is marked with a counter either next to the miniature in the playing area (and must be moved every time the MERC relocates), or on the MERC’s reference card.

PLAYING AREA The size of the MERCS tabletop can vary, but a 2’ x 3’ area or smaller is suggested. The size of the playing area dictates how quickly players get to the action and how violent the action can become. MERCS is a skirmish game intended to be played in a more confined area. If the area is too large, MERCS can take a long time to engage.

A MERCS playing area requires obstacles: buildings, bunkers, hills, and walls. MERCS weapons can fire the length of the playing area, which requires terrain to obscure line of sight and encourage clever tactical play. MERCS units represent special five-person security and reconnaissance teams suited to close-quarters combat.

Many of these terrain elements can be purchased from The Miniature Building Authority. Used with permission.

CREATING A COMPETITIVE TABLE Terrain placement should be based on the battlefield and should not give an advantage to a single player, unless the scenario requires it. That does not mean the play area should be symmetrical. Terrain placement relies on the first turn. It usually makes sense to place a large building or similar structure in the middle of the playing area, because MERCS will be able to fire on targets in line-of-sight, even on the first turn. MERCS waiting to be placed into the playing area should have options to be placed out of line-of-sight. There are several large-format playing areas pre-created on the MegaCon Games website. These files are free to and can be taken to a local printer to produce highly transportable, instant playing areas.

GOAL

The most straightforward way to play MERCS, and the easiest way to learn to play, is to setup a table and play a skirmish. Victory is achieved by eliminating all the opposing player’s MERCS. However, MERCS truly shines in scenario play and the campaign environment. There are several structured missions in this rulebook and on the MegaCon Games website: www.megacongames. com. The victory conditions for scenarios are myriad. The goal in these circumstances is usually highlighted within the scenario.

WHAT YOU NEED

The goal of MERCS is to win. However, the condition of victory isn’t necessarily as straightforward as killing every MERC on the opposing team.

GAME RULES MERCS rules are separated into two difficulty levels: basic and advanced. Players new to miniature gaming should read and play with the basic rules until play comes easily. Experienced players should have no trouble understanding any of the concepts in the basic rules and can incorporate advanced rules as they see fit.

WHAT’S NEW IN 2.0? There are numerous tweaks to the MERCS rules and some rules that have been altered drastically. New players can just dive into the rulebook. For returning players, we’ve listed the areas that have changed, briefly described the change, and provide a page number for quick reference.

All stats interact with each other often. The key to the speed of MERCS is the cards and how the information is ordered. From top to bottom, information in the reference column appears in the order it is used in a round. All information used in an attack can be found in the kit area. And finally, all keywords and personal abilities associated with that MERC are explained in moderate detail on the back 7 of the card.

INITIATIVE MODIFIER 0 0

The initiative modifier is used to modify the rolled initiative, up or down, up to the value in the icon. Initiative is covered in detail in the next chapter.

REACTION 7

In general, reaction represents the ability of the MERC to react to what is going on around him. Reaction, along with the initiative modifier, helps determine initiative order. Reaction breaks ties between multiple initiatives that have the same value. The higher 3 the reaction, the better the chance that MERC activates first.

Reaction is also used as the target number in melee combat. The higher the 2 reaction, the harder the MERC is to hit in melee combat.

Attack & Move

The movement card is very important both to playing MERCS and understanding the MegaCon a player is using. The card is used to measure and facilitate movement. Around the edge of the card are four semi-circles. The card surrounds the base of a miniature using the semi-circles and marks out commonly placed movement positions. A MERC doesn’t need to move to a semi-circle, however. He can move anywhere in the card for one movement point.

3

The range of an attack is indicated by the highlighted CCC letters next to the name of the piece of equipment. There are four possible Attack & Move ranges: base (B), short (S), medium (M), and long (L). If the range is highlighted red, the piece of equipment can be used in that range.

PHASES A game of MERCS occurs over several rounds. Each round includes three phases:

1 INITIATIVE PHASE 2 ACTION PHASE 3 REFRESH PHASE

Game Round: A game round, sometimes referred to simply as a round, includes three phases. Phase: Each phase has a specific structure that marks its beginning and end. Turn: A turn is the complete activation of a specific MERC. For penalties or bonuses that last multiple rounds, it is important to understand that the modifier lasts until the end of the activated MERCS turn.

1

INITIATIVE PHASE

MERCS has a dynamic initiative system. Initiative is rerolled for each miniature at the beginning of each game round. Initiative is the order in which the MERCS are activated in the action phase. Initiative is determined by selecting a miniature and rolling one d10. The result is assigned to the miniature by placing the d10 on the MERC reference card or next to the miniature. Players cannot roll their initiative die without first selecting the MERC it is being assigned to. Initiative is rerolled in the initiative phase at the beginning of every round.

MERCS 2.0 includes several new elements in the initiative phase, from how the dice are determined, to the new role the initiative modifier enables in changing initiative. It is important that players read and understand the new elements here.

PLAYING MERCS Your First Game details how to setup and play your first game of MERCS. It also discusses setting up the table for play. If you’ve never played, after you have read the rules, we suggest you start with the Your First Game.

PLACING MERCS The first thing players do in any game is roll a single d10 to determine setup order. As always, high result wins. Reroll any ties. MERCS are placed into the playing area in alternating order, beginning with the player who won the setup roll. There is only one restriction on MERC placement: the MERC must be placed within one card width of the play area’s edge, opposite the other player. MERCS placed must all be on the same edge as each other. The player with the highest roll places one MERC, then the other player, and so on until all MERCS have been placed. After placement, each player is allowed only one adjustment, starting with the player with the lowest setup roll. The adjustment cannot force another MERC to relocate and must follow all rules governing MERC placement. The adjustment move is not mandatory. After setup is complete, the initiative phase begins.

Place the d10 by the MERC reference card

Select a miniature and roll one d10

EXAMPLE

When asg the initiative result to the MERC, the result may be modified by the value of the initiative modifier. Initiatives may be altered up or down, up to the value of the initiative modifier. Players are not required to modify their initiative, nor are they required to use the entire value of the initiative modifier; it is a choice. 7 initiative can be modified in the initiative phase only. However,

0

Place the newly modified initiative next to the assigned MERC. Once the initiative result is changed and assigned, the initiative cannot be altered. 3 Players alternate rolling, modifying, and asg one die at a time. After one initiative is assigned, the other player rolls and assigns. This goes back and forth until all MERCS have been assigned an initiative.

2

In the initiative phase, both roll a d10 for each MERC. Orion starts with the Steward. He rolls a 3. He decides to modify it down to a 1. Meris begins with the Incinerator. She rolls a 5. She alters it to a 6. Orion selects the Sapper. He rolls an 8. The Sapper has no value in the initiative modifier spot so cannot modify his roll. It remains an 8. Meris selects the Sniper and rolls a 1. She chooses not to alter the Sniper’s roll although she could. Play proceeds with Orion and Meris rolling initiative back and forth until all MERCS have an initiative. Then, play proceeds to the action phase.

2

Initiative modified by +1.

The personal ability Be My Guest only works on those 5 initiatives that have been rolled before, so the MERCS with this PA should roll initiative late in the round if not last every time. Initiative is rolled, modified, and assigned one MERC at a time. Do not roll initiative in a pool of dice, and do not roll the next MERC’s initiative until the prior initiative is assigned. The final assigned initiative determines when the miniature activates in the action phase.

REACTION AND SIMULTANEOUS ACTIONS When two or more initiative rolls match, the reaction stat serves as a tie-breaker. The MERC with the higher reaction activates first. If there are multiple MERCS with the same initiative, compare and order their reaction stats. If all reactions are the same, the result is a simultaneous action. These actions make MERCS both unique and more realistic. During a simultaneous action, all MERCS involved activate at the same time.

PHASES

Orion and Meris have set up the table and are preparing for the first round. Orion is playing FCC House 4. He is bringing the Steward (2), Engineer (0), Heavy (0), Priest (1), and Sapper (0). Meris is playing CCC. She is bringing the Leader (0), Sniper (1), Incinerator (1), Medic (0), and Spotter (1).

2

ACTION PHASE

The action phase is the meat of the game, in which many things can happen. For each activated MERC, the player chooses one of three actions: move, act, or hold. Players do not decide what actions take place for all the MERCS, only the mini who is activated.

The devil is in the details. Where will you move? Will your movement provide you a strategic advantage? Will your movement take you away from your Leadership bonus? Will it weaken your position? How will your firing number be affected? Can you kill your target? Can you break his armor? Is there a way to get to and heal your teammate before he dies? How do I protect my flanks?

MERCS understands the movement template is not a full card length. We use the term here for convenience. A MERC begins his move in the larger half-circle located on the bottom of the card. The circles located on the sides and top are common movement locations. A MERC can move less than a card length by placing the MERC anywhere in the card, but this still costs one movement point. MERCS can move to any location underneath the card as long as the entire base is covered by the movement template.

During an activation, a MERC is allowed to perform one action: one move, one act, or one hold. There are several actions that blur the lines between moving and attacking, but it is still only one act.

Move: Moving is the act of repositioning a mini from one location to another. The move chapter explains how to move and how to deal with situations like line-of-sight and elevation. Act: Acting encomes several types of actions: combat actions, non-combat actions, many keywords, and advanced rules. Hold: The hold action means the MERC will not perform an action this round. He is sacrificing his action for a better opportunity during the next round’s initiative phase. MERCS may still snap2cover while performing a hold action. Like the initiative modifier, a hold action doesn’t need to be used completely (or at all). Furthermore, it can be used to raise or lower the initiative roll.

If a tape measure is used, each movement point equals four inches. Measure each movement point individually, making sure to adjust for cover. Players cannot move MERCS through terrain.

MOVE MERCS is about movement more than anything else. Sure combat is important, but achieving those really juicy low target numbers is about putting MERCS in advantageous positions. MERCS uses a movement template to navigate the tabletop. Movement is based around the cards, but the cards are no longer the only way to move MERCS. Players can now use any legal movement device or a simple tape measure. Measuring devices function like MERCS movement templates: movement points equal the same number of card lengths. MERCS can move the length of any number of cards up to the number in the movement point icon, which is referred to as a movement string. Snug the movement template up to the front base of the mini, then move the mini so the back of the mini snugs up to the top smaller half-circle of the template.

EXAMPLE Meris’ Incinerator has 1 movement point. She aligns the bottom semi-circle with the base of the Incinerator. She adjusts the template to the desired direction then moves the Incinerator miniature to the top semi-circle. She also adjusts the Incinerator’s angle to face slightly to the right, because she is allowed to adjust facing direction up to 90º with each movement point.

SNAP-TO-COVER If a MERC is within a base length (30mm) of cover, or anything considered cover, then that MERC can snap to that cover. Referred to as snap-to-cover, or snap2cover, the MERC quickly crosses the empty distance between his location and the cover for no cost. When cover is a matter of life and death, a trained MERC will find a way to get across that last few steps and achieve his or her goal. Snap-to-cover is a very fluid game mechanic. It does not constitute a move action, nor does it confer any movement modifier combined with an attack. As a rule, a MERC can snap2cover only once per movement string. However, some MERCS are the exception to this rule. A MERC can snap2cover before, in the middle of, or after any given movement or action, even hold.

At each movement point (MP) along the string, MERCS may adjust their facing direction up to 90°. This partial turn is allowed before or after each movement point, but not both. Any direction change greater than 90° requires the use of an additional MP. It is possible, during the course of a movement string, for those MERCS who have multiple MPs, to turn more than 90°. This is perfectly legal as long as the player splits the directional change over the course of the entire movement In fact, a MERC can remain stationary and turn 90° for a movement point.

MARKING THE BASES Consider marking the front-facing direction of your MERCS miniatures. The dynamic posing can sometimes lead to confusion.

For example, a MERC can snap around the corner of a building and fire upon a target downrange. But he could just as easily fire then snap around the corner out of line-of-sight. MERCS can drag themselves to cover if their armor has failed, because snap2cover is not defined as a move. However, the rules for snapping to cover still applies. So if the MERC has no cover, enemies, or allies nearby, then the MERC is stuck in no man’s land.

BACKPEDALING MERCS can move backward if they need to, but it is costly. Backpedaling one card length costs two movement points. Backpedaling refers to any move where the final location of the card is in the rear 180° arc.

ACTION

Players are not allowed to pre-measure a move. If a player moves and fails to reach his objective, he cannot retract the entire move. He can, however, arrange the last card, or movement point, to a different location as long as he hasn’t removed his hand from the MERC.

If a MERC snaps-to-cover and uses a 90°turn, the MERC is considered to have moved and at least one MP is used, even if the MERC remains in the same location. The 90°turn is available only if the player moves.

MOVEMENT IN 2D TERRAIN Let’s track the movement of three USCR figures: the Sniper (3 MP), Heavy (1 MP), and Medic (2 MP). Let’s move, fellas!

3 MP, 1 MP, and 2 MP.

Turning with the first MP and with the second MP creates a very different firing arc. This, movement. It would take a MERCS roughly three rounds to cross the entire battlefield. That MERCS would be alone and probably 1 MP,of2 course, MP, and is3 straight MP. dead, but he or she could do it. Things change dramatically if the figures move to a side-circle, or move horizontally as opposed to vertically.

It still takes 1 MP to move from the starting half-circle at the bottom of the card to a side-circle or anywhere else within the card. A MERCS can choose to not use all his or her MPs. It takes 1 MP to turn 180˚. MERCS can turn up to 90˚ and remain in place for 1 MP.

There are some rules with the cards that must be enforced. A player cannot move to a place he or she doesn’t have line-of-sight to. And, unless a personal ability allows it, a MERCS cannot move through terrain. These two rules prevent a player from laying the card through 2D or 3D terrain and moving to a circle they couldn’t have seen. A movement card can be placed over terrain, but players cannot “cut corners”. Both sides of the base must be visible from the original location. A player cannot move to a spot on the card that both sides of the starting spot cannot see.

The scenario…

…no, no, no…

…that’s better!

If you only need to move a small distance, you’ll use the snap2cover mechanic. If there is a piece of cover (MERCS are armored and are considered cover), then a moving MERCS can snap to it if their movement takes them within one miniature base.

. . .snap-to-cover.

ACTION

In this position, the Sniper can’t move to the right circle behind cover, because he would be moving through a building. But he can move to the center circle and if its within 1 base.

The Medic moves to heal the Heavy.

snapping to cover grants weak cover.

MOVEMENT IN 3D TERRAIN Using the cards in 3D terrain functions the same as a 2D play mat, except for one minor adjustment. You still can’t lay the card over terrain and move to a circle that is out of the model’s line-of-sight. However there are other difficulties handling the card in 3D terrain. In certain cases with 3D terrain, the card cannot be manipulated to provide a clean measurement. This tends to occur around corners or in tight hallways.

The terrain is too close together to allow the card to lay flat.

Turn the card on its side. There are two white indicators on each side that allow for measurement in tight situations.

The card is still used, but it is placed on its edge. At the top and bottom of the card are two white markers on each side that facilitate close-quarters movement with the cards. Set the card beside the figure base so the front of the base is lined up with the bottom marker. Then move the figure up so the back of the base lines up with the dash located in one of the side semi-circles. As always, the MERC can turn up to 90˚ and snap2cover.

Indicator

To better understand movement, it is necessary to understand elevation, position, cover, and line-of-sight.

MOVING UP AND DOWN ELEVATION MERCS can move up and down terrain. Climbing into and out of elevated terrain is more complicated than merely moving a card length. If a MERC is able to ascend or descend an elevation, it requires the use of an entire movement point. Additionally, the MERC must be within base range of the elevation change.

JUDGING ELEVATION Ascending terrain must follow the rules for measuring elevation rating (ER). Place the card on its length edge and measure from one edge to the other. If the terrain is within this area, then the MERC can ascend or descend, but must use an entire movement point. One elevation rating is equal to 2.5 inches. On the new elevation, if the MERC can reach the next elevation, then he may as long as he has the MPs to perform the action. When a MERC moves up an elevation for one movement point, they are still able to adjust their facing up to 90˚ and snap2cover if able.

Any elevation outside this measurement, cannot be ascended to without assistance or a special personal ability.

LADDER MOVEMENT

IMMEDIATELY

If the terrain has a ladder, then the MERC can ascend to a level out of reach of climbing movement. However, it requires the entire activation of the MERC to use the ladder and reach his destination.

Anytime the word “immediately” is used in a rule, it means that the effect is resolved before anything else.

INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT There are occasions where MERCS are forced to move against their will, such as repulsor tags and force weapons. When affected by anything that forces involuntary movement, the movement is resolved immediately. Involuntary movement applies to all MERCS.

Miniatures are pushed directly back, as close to opposite as possible, from the source of the effect. Suppression does not prevent involuntary movement. Overwatch, on the other hand, still applies if all overwatch conditions are met. Special circumstances may arise because the movement is not voluntary. In cases where a mini is being forced to move but cannot due to special status effects or terrain, then that MERC receives one damage and must make an armor failure check.

FALLING Falling is a special type of involuntary movement. A MERC can be forced over the edge of an elevation. When a MERC is forced to fall, he takes one blood damage for every elevation rating the MERC falls through, rounded up. The MERC must also make one armor failure check.

ACTION

In certain cases, where the ladder leads to an extremely high location, multiple rounds of activation should be required to navigate the ladder. This is determined by the players or defined by the scenario.

EXAMPLE A CCC Sniper is perched on the second floor of a building, picking off Texico targets left and right. The Texico Jaguar manages to ascend to the second level and attack the Sniper in melee. The Jaguar knocks the Sniper back one card length, forcing the Sniper to fall. The CCC player measures the height of the elevation using card widths, determines an elevation rating, and applies damage. In this case, the second floor is ER2. The fall is 1.5 card widths. The CCC Sniper takes two blood damage and makes one armor failure check.

If the falling MERC has the Tuck & Roll personal ability, the MERC takes no damage, nor is he required to make an armor failure check. If a MERC willingly chooses to take a swan dive off a balcony, it is still considered a fall. All rules apply.

TRAPS MERCS has two types of traps. The first is placed in the skirmish, can be seen, and can be avoided or disarmed. The second is related to the Texico corporate trait and cannot be seen. Unless stated otherwise, traps are removed from play after being activated.

PLACED TRAPS A placed trap stays in the skirmish after placement. It is placed like a grenade and has a template like a grenade. If there is a target in the trap template when placed, the trap activates and affects the target immediately. If there is no target in range, the trap is dormant and remains in the skirmish until it is disarmed or activated. These traps can be disarmed if a MERC is in short range of the placed token (or base range of the template), has LoS, and es an interact roll. If the disarm fails, the trap activates and does double damage to the MERC who failed the disarm attempt.

TEXICO TRAPS These traps cannot be seen or disarmed. A Texico is based around the Texico corporate trait Traps and activates relative to the bounding action rule. If a player does not bound against Texico, then he will never have to deal with this type of trap. If a player does bound, then before the movement begins he draws a token from the trap cup. If the token is not a trap, then he proceeds with his bound. If the token is a trap, the player rolls on the trap table and deals with the result. A Texico trap can be disarmed only after it has affected a MERC.

COMBAT MERCS is a tabletop skirmish game. That means combat. MERCS combat is streamlined: quick in action and quick in resolution. At the center of combat is the MERCS reference card. If a MERC reference card does not show a particular ability or weapon, then that MERC cannot perform that action.

MEDIUM RANGE Medium range is the length of two MERCS cards. If the target is within the second card’s length when the cards are laid end-to-end, then the target is considered to be in medium range. Shotguns and carbines are medium range weapons.

There are two types of combat in MERCS: melee and ranged. Simply put, anything not listed as a melee attack is considered to be a ranged attack.

MEASURING RANGE The range of an attack is indicated by the highlighted letters next to the name of the piece of equipment. There are four possible ranges: base (B), short (S), medium (M), and long (L). If the range is highlighted red, the piece of equipment can be used in that range. Many weapons have range restrictions. Make sure you understand what ranges work with a specific weapon before attacking. Range is measured from the closest point on the base of the attacking model to the closest point on the base of the target model.

LONG RANGE Any length over two cards is considered long range. There is no limit to the distance a long range weapon can fire, although many long range weapons have range restrictions in base and short range. Single shot weapons, semiauto, and full automatic weapons all excel at long range.

BASE RANGE Base range is the base width of a MERC. If the target is within the diameter of a base, the target is considered to be in base range. Several actions are eligible only in base range: melee combat, interacting with objects, medkits, repair kits, and enhancers.

SHORT RANGE

ACTION

Short range is the length of a MERC reference card. If the target is within a card length, but outside a base range, the target is considered to be in short range. Pistols and several types of grenades use short range.

MELEE COMBAT If an attacker is within base range of a target and has the melee keyword on a piece of equipment, he may engage in melee combat. Melee combat works differently than ranged combat, but the damage is calculated the same way.

Melee combat specialists have advantages that eliminate these penalties and oftentimes provide further bonuses. If the keyword language states that the MERC ignores melee attack movement penalties, the attack is not modified by the movement penalty.

EXAMPLE Most MERCS cannot participate in melee combat. In order to make a handto-hand attack, a MERC must have a piece of equipment in his kit with the melee keyword. The number after the melee keyword represents the skill of that MERC in melee combat. Even if the number is a zero, the MERC may attempt a melee combat attack.

MELEE COMBAT PROGRESSION 1. Roll attack dice. 2. Add the melee skill. 3. Adjust based off any modifiers. 4. Compare to target’s reaction. To initiate melee combat, roll a number of d10s associated with the attack and add the attacker’s melee stat. This stat is a modifier that increases the roll number. If the result is equal to or higher than the target’s reaction stat, then the attack is successful.

MELEE MODIFIERS When in melee combat, MERCS use the melee modifiers only. Ignore ranged combat modifiers. A complete table of melee modifiers are found on page 45. Successful melee attacks are treated exactly like successful ranged attacks when determining damage and armor failure: successful hits force armor checks and weapon strength is compared to armor value to determine damage.

MOVE & ATTACK Every MERC with a melee keyword may move and attack as a single act. However, the attack suffers a -3 penalty. If a MERC with a melee stat modifier moves into range and attacks in the same turn, he rolls his attack dice, adds his melee keyword value, and subtracts three from each roll. If the result is equal to or higher than the target’s reaction, then the target is hit. Every MERC with the Melee keyword can attack at the end of a move. They cannot attack then move. The penalty for attacking in melee combat at the end of a move is -3 to the attack roll. This is the same for all MERCS with the Melee keyword. However, some MERCS can ignore this penalty through personal abilities.

Kenny activates the KemVar Assassin, who is a powerful melee MERC. The Assassin rushes forward to attack Brian’s GCC Chief. The Assassin has 3 movement points and can easily reach the Chief. The Chief has a high reaction, so success isn’t assured. Kenny rolls a 5. Typically, there is a -3 penalty for attacking at the end of a move in melee combat, but the Assassin has the Charge personal ability, which allows the Assassin to attack after a move at no penalty. So the 5 Kenny rolled is not penalized. The Assassin has melee 3. Kenny adds 3 to the roll of 5 for a final hit value of 8. The target number for the Chief is his reaction of 6. The attack hits. In addition, Charge increases the weapon strength and the attack does 2 damage. The weapon strength for the attack is 3, which easily penetrates the Chief’s armor value of 1. The attack does 2 damage. The Chief has 1 blood left.

SPECIAL MELEE RULES Attackers can leave melee combat without penalty. But an attacker may not leave and reenter melee with the same target during the same activation. If it is not during the same activation, then entering melee with a previous target is legal. This is important in cases where a MERC may get a second activation in a round.

RANGED COMBAT Pistols, rifles, turrets, grenades, and lightning throwers are all forms of ranged combat. On the reference card, each of these weapons has specific information that explains how they work and, in some cases, shows visual cues to quickly determine what a template looks like for an attack.

LINE-OF-SIGHT: 2D & 3D The first thing to determine in ranged combat is line-of-sight. If an attacker does not have LoS to the target, then the attacker cannot fire. The capacity to attack a target in any way is directly related to the MERC’s ability to see the target. Line-of-sight extends 180° on each side of the MERC and is restricted by terrain and the MERC’s ability to “see” the target at eye level. An easy check to determine LoS is the target’s base. If the attacker can see any part of the target’s base, the attacker can hit that target. Likewise, if you can see the poor fool’s head peeking over a wall, then put one between his eyes.

Template Weapons Template weapons are special. When attacking with a template weapon, if a target is behind another mini or minis, so that the target cannot be “seen” but can still be targeted, the target receives the strong cover bonus. If a target, friend or foe, has any portion of his base in the template, then he receives the attack. Attack dice are not split, or shared, in a template attack, unless stated explicitly in the language of the attack. Each target receives the full attack dice. Any MERC at armor value 0 hit by a template attack takes double damage. For more information, see page 53.

SAVE THE DEBATE FOR LATER MERCS games are heavy on action. Any debate on the validity of a target should be decided in favor of action; even if that action results in you firing on an obstructed target. You can’t change the target after discovering it is out of your line-of-sight. Likewise, if a rule is unclear during a game: scan the rulebook, make a quick educated decision, table the debate for the duration of the encounter, stick with the decision for the entirety of the combat, and then look up the rule and return to the discussion after the game has finished.

INHABITED AREA MERCS miniatures offer dynamic posing, and in many cases the miniature has parts extending from the base. MERCS exist in a virtual cylinder the circumference of the base and rising to about 1.5”. This is the targetable area of a MERCS. Likewise, if a MERC is squatted and hidden behind a wall, the targetable area is still the cylinder that represents the mini’s standing area.

“He does NOT have line-of-sight!!!” Line-of-sight is trickier with 2D terrain, because you can “see” all targets. It is important to judge each situation based on an understanding that flat structures, the art on the mat or card, have form. The biggest difficulty with 2D terrain and LoS is elevation. The MERCS system uses an elevation rating (ER) for anything that can be considered cover. The elevation rating is a number that represents the height or depth of a terrain feature. When firing over a 2D obstacle, refer to the ER number. If there is no ER number, players must assign one. Regardless of whether the elevation change is up or down, the ER number present is assigned based on the actual change in elevation.

COMBAT

The methods for checking LoS are the same for both 2D and 3D: 2D leaves a bit more room for interpretation and therefore requires more discussions. Playing in a 2D environment requires the players to work with abstracted ideas of cover more. Regardless, always err on the side of carnage.

FIRING NUMBER

ELEVATION RATING The elevation rating number is based on a scale: each ER number (except for ER0) equals eight feet of real world height. The ER between 2D elevation and 3D elevation are the same, in of moving, LoS, and cover. All MERCS fall into the ER1 category. If the elevation rating is greater than or equal to the MERC ER number, then the target cannot be seen or targeted (except in special circumstances with certain MegaCons). If players are using 3D terrain, treat terrain and cover as it appears. If an attacker can see the inhabited space of the target, he can attack. Elevation

After a player determines the modified FN, he rolls the attack dice pool. Each rolled d10 that is equal to or higher than the modified FN is considered a hit. Any rolled d10 lower than the FN is a miss.

Template weapons are area-of-effect weapons. They affect all targets under the template, friend or foe. Each target under a template receives the full dice pool of the attack, although the firing number may be different depending on modifiers. More information on template weapons and their type and shape, can be found on page 53.

CCC 2.0.indd 2

The second icon in the attack area is a weapon’s firing number (FN). Firing numbers are based on the weapon type. All ranged combat starts with this number, then is changed by a modifier. A modifier changes the base firing number for the better or worse, depending upon personal abilities, movement, elevation, cover, range, and position. A complete list of modifiers is detailed on page 45. There is no limit to the number of modifiers that may affect a firing number.

If the modified FN is greater than 10, the MERC cannot hit his target; no roll is necessary. If the modified FN is 1 (or lower), the attack cannot miss.

All values equal to or higher than the target number are a success. When learning MERCS, slow down, and pay attention to what affects an7FN, and take the time to apply the modifiers correctly. Beginners often forget or leave out important modifiers. Start at the top of the FN modifier table, and work down one group at a time.

WEAPON STRENGTH VS. 3 ARMOR VALUE

3 0

The third icon in the attack area is weapon strength. To determine if a 2 7 successful hit hurts the target, the attacking MERC compares his weapon strength to the target’s armor value. Armor value is the number in the shield icon located in the reference column. If the attacker’s weapon strength meets or exceeds the target’s armor value, then the target takes blood3 3 damage equal to the number of successful d10s that hit.

Weapon strength ranges from one to four. Armor values range from zero to four.

Weapon strength is NOT the weapon’s damage. The amount of damage, or blood, is NOT based on the difference between the weapon 2 strength and the armor value. The amount of damage done in an attack 3 is based on the total number of successful attack dice that hit.

BLOOD Blood is the unit of measurement that determines the amount of life left in a MERC. The number value in the drop icon is the amount of damage a MERC can take before he is killed. Players can track blood with counters on the MERC’s reference card or next to the model on the table top.

KEYWORDS If a piece of equipment has any special rules associated with it, then a keyword is listed next to the attack icons. Any keywords are explained on the back of the card in moderate detail and in greater detail in the MegaCon section of this book. See page 46.

HOLD The hold action means the MERC will not perform an action this round. He is sacrificing his action for a better opportunity during the next round’s initiative phase.

If the target hit rolls equal to or higher than his armor failure value, he is safe, and nothing else happens. If the target fails any of his armor failure checks, then the target’s armor is broken. He receives a broken armor status effect token. While the target’s armor is broken, he suffers from the following penalties until repaired: 1. The MERC moves at -2 movement points.

Performing a hold action allows the MERC to add or subtract two to his existing initiative modifier. The initiative modifier can be used to raise or lower the initiative roll and can be used partially, completely, or not at all.

EXAMPLE Orion puts his Sapper on hold this round. In the next round, the Sapper adds 2 to his initiative modifier of 0. The Sapper can modify his initiative by -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2.

2. The armor value of the MERC is reduced by 1. 3. Several MegaCons lose one or more of their corporate abilities, because they are linked to functional armor. Armor failures do not stack. If a target fails multiple attacks, the penalties apply only once. Furthermore, the reduction of armor occurs after the current attack is finished; it is not applied to the current attack. If the armor is repaired through a repair kit or an interact roll, then the armor reverts to its fully functional state (unless stated otherwise by a status effect).

EXAMPLE Orion’s House 4 Engineer has line-of-sight on Meris’ CCC Leader. The Engineer has 2d10 attack dice. His firing number starts at 6. The CCC Leader is at long range. The Leader is in weak cover for a -1 penalty to attack roll. There are no elevation or positional modifiers in play for this attack.

The Engineer’s semi-auto has a weapon strength of 2. The Leader’s armor value is 2. The weapon strength meets or exceeds the armor value so the CCC Leader takes damage. He was hit with one d10, so takes 1 damage. The CCC Leader also needs to make an armor failure check. CCC armor is very reliable and can fail only on 1. Meris rolls a 4. She survives and swears revenge upon the Engineer.

COMBAT

Orion rolls his 2d10. The results are 6 and 7. The Leader’s weak cover makes the final values 5 and 6. The 6 meets the required firing number, so this is a hit. The 5 misses.

MODIFIERS Unless stated otherwise, modifiers adjust the d10 roll. Every type of check in MERCS functions the same way: 1. Roll d10 dice pool. 2. Apply modifiers. 3. Compare to target number. The previous chapter explained the dice pool and comparing the numbers. This chapter describes all the modifiers. Numerous categories modify combat: • Range • Positional • Cover • Movement • Keyword

RANGE There are four weapon ranges: base, short, medium, and long. Range modifies firing numbers, weapon strength, and weapon utility. Except for base range, range is measured in full card lengths.

POSITIONAL Positional modifiers are determined by the position of the attacker in relation to the target. There are two types of bonuses associated with position: location and elevation.

FRONT

LOCATION When determining position, players need to refer to their models’ front and rear arcs marked on the base. There is one front arc, two flanks, and one rear arc.

FLANK

• Flank. A flank attack is made from one of the two side arcs. Flank attack bonuses are provided to attackers at range or in melee, to targets in cover or not. A flank attack increases the attack roll by one AND increases the weapon strength of any weapon used by one.

FLANK

REAR

• Rear: Attacking from behind, or the rear arc, is the strongest positional modifier in the game. The attacker is behind the target. Rear attack bonuses are provided to attackers at range or in melee, against targets in cover or not. A rear attack increases the attack roll by two AND increases the weapon strength of the weapon used by two. Name Position

MODIFIERS

If an attacker is in both the front and flank arcs of the target, use the flank arc. If an attacker is in both the flank and rear arcs of the target, use the rear arc. Err on the side of carnage.

EXAMPLE The USCR Heavy is in both the front and the flank arc on the ISS Wavefinder. The Heavy receives the flank attack bonus modifiers: +1 to attack roll and +1 weapon strength.

ELEVATION Elevated terrain, be it natural or man-made, modifies the firing number. Attackers firing from an elevated position, or high ground, have an easier time hitting targets. Conversely, drawing fire on a target from an inferior, depressed position increases the difficulty of the shot. Elevation is measured by using any MERCS reference card. Determine the elevation by placing a card on its side and measuring the attacker’s base height in relation to the target’s base height. If the distance is greater than the width of the card, then the attacker is on higher ground than the target.

Attacker

Attacker

• Low Ground: If the attacker is at least one elevation lower than the target, then the attacker is on low ground. The low ground modifier decreases the attack roll by one.

• High Ground: If the attacker is at least one elevation higher than the target, then the attacker is on high ground. The high ground modifier increases the attack roll by one.

Elevation is determined by the attacker’s position in relation to the target. If both the attacker and the target are elevated equally, then no bonus is provided. Being elevated in relation to the ground doesn’t matter. If the attacker is two card widths higher than the target, he receives the high ground modifier once.

EXAMPLE The USCR Sniper is targeting the ISS Wavefinder who is located on a shipping container near a building. The Sniper measures the elevation in relation to both of their bases. The Wavefinder is just barely high enough to qualify for the next elevation. The Sniper is firing from low ground.

COVER Cover is defined as anything that provides an obstructed view of a target. In game , anything that obscures the line-of-sight to the target is considered cover. Walls, earth, cars, rubble, barrels, bunkers, and other MERCS are all considered cover. There are three levels of cover: strong, weak, and no cover. • Strong Cover: The target is completely covered but can still be fired upon. Strong cover is used in special cases. Certain MegaCons have special abilities that allow for the strong cover modifier. Strong cover is used in cases where a template attack can hit a target that is completely covered. Strong cover decreases the attack roll by three. • Weak Cover: Any cover that is not strong is considered weak. Weak cover includes anything from a target barely visible to a target barely behind something. It decreases the attack roll by one. • No Cover: If the attacker has an unobstructed view to the target, then that target is in the open. Targets without cover are easier to hit. No cover increases the attack roll by one. If a MERC is behind a waist-high wall and a corner so that only a portion of his helmet is visible, as long as the helmet is within the inhabited area of the miniature, then that MERC is targetable and receives weak cover.

TEMPLATE ATTACKS AND STRONG COVER When attacking with a template weapon, if a target is behind another mini or minis, so that the target cannot be “seen” but can still be targeted, the target receives the strong cover bonus.

No Cover

No Cover Strong Cover

The ISS Wavefinder is behind two teammates. Because she isn’t in “true” LoS, she receives Strong Cover bonuses in cases where the attack comes from a template attack.

CAPTURING COVER

If the MERCS are fighting over the same piece of cover, until one of the MERCS moves within base range of the cover, it continues to provide bonuses to both MERCS. If the attacker is in base range of the cover and the target is not, then that target does not receive the cover bonus. If two MERCS are fighting each other over the same piece of cover and they are both within base range of the cover, then the cover does not provide bonuses for either of the MERCS.

EXAMPLE Both the Sefadu Medic and the ISS Wavefinder receive the weak cover bonus provided by a half-wall. On his next turn, the Medic moves to the wall and fires. The ISS Wavefinder does not receive weak cover bonuses for the half-wall any more. If on the Wavefinder’s next turn she also moves to the half-wall, then neither the Sefadu Medic nor the ISS Wavefinder get cover bonuses.

MODIFIERS

Cover is determined to provide bonuses to a MERC as long as that cover is not “captured” by an attacker. In cases where there is cover at a distance between an attacker and target, the target receives the cover bonus as long as the attacker hasn’t captured, or moved within a base of, that cover.

ELEVATION AND COVER In many cases, elevation changes provide cover. After all, looking up at a target obscures the target. If the attacker has LoS to the target at a higher elevation, then that target receives a blanket cover bonus in addition to the elevation modifier. The table below summarizes the cover bonus based on total elevation distance. A

Neither MERC would receive cover in this situation though elevation bonus/ penalties would apply. C

The ISS Wavefinder receives cover, because the edge of the building obscures the target. The lower USCR Sniper does not, because the the edge of the building is “captured” by the ISS Wavefinder.

KEYWORD

Moving modifiers are situational and appear in several different types of combat situations. Moving modifiers are applied if the attacker or defender is moving. Unlike many other categories, several movement modifiers can be in play at one time, and they do stack.

Several keywords apply modifiers to an attacker’s dice roll. Keywords are covered in greater detail in the MegaCon section and on the back of the card. The two most common keyword modifiers are Attack & Move and attacking in Melee after a move.

SIMULTANEOUS ACTION

ATTACK & MOVE

In cases where there is a simultaneous action or an attack that has the immediately phrasing, there is a chance the target is in the middle of a movement string. In these cases, the target is moving. The attacker receives a -1 penalty to the attack roll.

There is a penalty for attacking if the attacker is moving. When using the Attack & Move keyword, the smaller the weapon, the lower the penalty.

COURAGE If a MERC fails his courage check, either by the suppression advanced rule or by the fire status effect, the attacker is hesitant. The MERC is bothered and not completely focused on the attack. If the MERC is attacking, a failed courage check penalty of -2 is applied to the attack d10 roll.

MELEE Every MERC with the Melee keyword can attack at the end of a move. They cannot attack then move. The penalty for attacking in melee combat at the end of a move is -3 to the attack roll. This is the same for all MERCS with the Melee keyword. However, some MERCS can ignore this penalty through personal abilities.

There are several modifiers within the various MegaCon personal abilities. They are not listed in this section, but are detailed in the MegaCon section and on the back of reference cards. Personal abilities may modify the d10 roll or the target number

The same holds true for corporate traits. Several MegaCons receive ive bonuses to target numbers or attack rolls based on certain conditions. These rules can be found in the MegaCon section and on the movement cards.

ADVANCED RULES Advanced rules should be added only after players feel comfortable with the basic rules. Advanced rules add complexity to the skirmish. There are three advanced rules: bounding, overwatch, and suppression.

BOUNDING Bounding is the act of attaching a MERC’s movement to a later teammate’s action. The MERC being bounded to is called the bound action. Any, and all, MERCS bounding with the bound action are referred to as the bound reaction. Bounding is a movement based Advanced Combat Maneuvers or (ACM). Bounding constitutes a move only; the bound reaction cannot be combined with any other activity. The bound action must be a MERC on the same team; players can never bound to an opponent. On the table, bounding allows MERCS to move quickly across the table and act as a cohesive unit. The bound reactions are granted one additional movement point. The bound action can choose almost any action to initiate the bound. However, it MUST be an action that happens at the time. Bounding, overwatch, and suppression cannot be used to initiate a bound reaction. Nor can a bound action choose the hold action. The true value in bounding isn’t the extra MP as much as the ability to further manipulate an initiative result. Moving further seems like a pretty fantastic boon. More often than not, players do not move their full potential. However, bounding allows players to delay a MERC’s activation until later in the round. A player can react to an unexpected move by an opponent by bounding later in the round or together in a calculated group move. The USCR Heavy elects to Bound with the USCR Sniper. The counter is laid upon the dice, indicating that he is postponing his initiative until his bounded target has completed his move.

The USCR Sniper is the Bounded target, and makes his move first.

Any abilities—personal or corporate—that use the term “bound friendly” can be used with the bound ACM. If the bound friendly moniker is not present, then the ability cannot be used with bounding.

If multiple MERCS are bounding to the same bound action, they activate in the order of their original initiative. To track bounding, use counters or colored tokens. Place the bound reaction counter next to the MERC(S) who are bounding, then place another counter near the MERC being bound to the bound action. To keep track of multiple MERCS bounding, reference cards for those bounding reaction can be placed underneath the bound action’s card.

EXAMPLE Meris’ Incinerator has an initiative of 6. The Incinerator is slow. She has only 1 movement point. Meris declares on the Incinerator’s turn that she will bound with the Sniper. The Sniper has an initiative of 1. Meris slides the Incinerator card underneath the Sniper card and puts a bounding token next to the Incinerator. On initiative 1, the Sniper activates. The Sniper elects to move. After the Sniper has moved, the Incinerator gets to activate and move with 2 movement points, 1 from her standard movement and 1 from the bounding.

CHAIN OF OCCURRENCE There is a very specific order in which suppression and overwatch interact with standard actions in the basic rules, which is called the chain of occurrence. This order dictates which advanced rule has precedence over another in the skirmish. The chain of occurrence is:

1 SUPPRESSION 2 OVERWATCH 3 ACTION • Suppression versus Suppression: MERCS cannot suppress a suppression attempt. This is a non-occurrence. • Suppression versus Overwatch: Suppression happens before overwatch and, if successful, applies penalties to the overwatch. • Overwatch versus Overwatch: Overwatch can trigger an overwatch, but only once.

If the initial overwatch triggers an overwatch, the original overwatch does not get to trigger against the reacting overwatch. Overwatch does not bounce back and forth. • Overwatch versus Suppression: MERCS on overwatch do not get an attack of opportunity against a MERC suppressing. This is a non-occurrence.

OVERWATCH As the only damaging advanced rule, overwatch is fundamentally important to master if a player hopes to compete in tournaments. Overwatch is the act of firing for damage on any target that is attempting to perform an action in line-of-sight. It does not prevent the target’s action, even if the target is killed.

OVERWATCH CHECKLIST 1. Line-of-sight 2. Using an action, or spending a MP

A MERC on overwatch must shoot. He cannot choose to wait for a specific target. Furthermore, overwatch is not an unending series of attacks. The MERC on overwatch activates and fires at the first target to trigger the overwatch, then does not activate for the next eligible target. It is a one-on/one-off action. If another target triggers overwatch, then the MERC attacks again. MERCS on overwatch attack a target performing an action or using an MP in line-of-sight (180° front arc). It doesn’t matter what the action is: using a medkit, throwing a grenade, repairing armor, setting, even performing a non-combat action in a scenario. The following actions won’t trigger an overwatch attack: • Hold

• Snap-to-cover

• Suppression

• Aiming

• ive abilities

Heavy weapons are designed for maximum effectiveness when used with the overwatch ACM. Just like a normal template attack, where every target under the template receives the attack, each time the overwatch is triggered, every target within the template receives the attack. Very quickly, the dice add up and the percentages tip in favor of the heavy weapon doing a lot of damage to multiple targets. Grenades and melee combat cannot be used for overwatch. Likewise, any weapon that has a load penalty occurring over two turns cannot be used to overwatch. Long range kill weapons with single turn load penalties CAN be used on overwatch, because overwatch is a one-on/ one-off action.

ACMS

Overwatch happens at the same time as the action. The results should be treated like simultaneous action results in of how the original action and overwatch occur. Overwatch carries over from initiative to initiative. Any visible actions that take place after the overwatch is declared until the MERC activates again will bring the pain.

SUPPRESSION The act of keeping targets under fire, unable to act, is suppression. Suppression doesn’t cause damage to targets; it forces targets to make a courage check to act without penalty. It makes a target’s action more difficult to perform optimally. If the target fails his courage check, then a -2 penalty is applied to all d10 rolls AND the target’s MP is reduced by one.

SUPPRESSION CHECKLIST 1. Line-of-sight 2. Using an action, or spending a MP

0

Suppression carries over from initiative to initiative, until the suppressor activates again. The MERC on suppression activates and suppresses the first two eligible targets, then does not activate for the third eligible target. It is a two-on/one-off 7 action. If another target ventures into LoS, then that MERC is suppressed. A target under suppression must make a courage check. The number in the courage icon is the target number. MERCS roll 1d10 to courage checks. As with all MERCS rolls, the target must roll equal or greater than the number present.

• Hold • Suppression • Snap-to-cover

3

• Aiming • ive abilities

2

If successful, the target can perform the action without penalty. Some MegaCons have special abilities that apply penalties to both successful and failed courage tests.

3

EXAMPLE

To be considered “under suppression,” a target must perform an action or use an MP in line-of-sight (180° front arc). Some actions are never suppressed:

Grenades and melee combat cannot be used to suppress.

FORCED COURAGE TESTS Some weapons force courage tests. Most of these apply the burning status effect. Treat any courage test as if the target is being suppressed. Suppression failure penalties apply to any failed courage tests.

Tom and Kenny have just set up a MERCS skirmish and are preparing to take their first actions. They have agreed to play using all of the advanced rules. Neither faction has line-of-sight on each other, so2 both will be making multiple Bounding maneuvers the first round. After applying any initiative modifiers, Tom playing CCC, rolls 3 (Medic), 4 (Sniper), 4 (Demo), 7 (Heavy), and 9 (AL). Kenny, playing KemVar, rolls 1 (Sniper), 4 (Assassin), 7 (AL), 8 (Monkeywrench), and 0 (Demo). 5 Kenny declares a bounding action, and adds that all of his units will be bounding to the Sniper’s action at 1. Even though there are multiple simultaneous actions from the initiative rolls, because no combat actions can take place the first round, and because Tom was also going to bound all of his units to his Medic, Tom agrees. Both players mark the bounding targets. Tom starts because his Medic activates on a 3. The Medic moves his 2 MP, then all of Tom’s units, starting with the highest initiative move their base movement +1 MP. After Tom finishes his actions, Kenny activates his Sniper. The Sniper moves her complete MP, and then the rest of the KemVar MERCS spring into action. *** Now deep in the game, Tom’s CCC Medic and Demo are in perfect position to suppress Kenny’s KemVar Sniper, while Tom’s CCC Leader flanks the Sniper to get around a half-wall.

Tom’s Medic acts on an Initiative 6. Unfortunately his Demo acts on an Initiative 2. Kenny’s Sniper acts on an Initiative 5. The Medic uses suppression. All targets that start a move or action in front of his position, within a 180˚ arc, will be suppressed per the suppression rules. Kenny’s Sniper chooses to fire at the Demo beside the Medic. Before she fires, she a courage check because she is being suppressed. Suppression does not do damage; it merely tries to apply a penalty to the stated action. Kenny’s KemVar Sniper must now roll over her courage. The Sniper has Courage 6. Kenny rolls a 3 — a failure — the Sniper still attempts to attack, except the attack roll is decreased by 2 for the failed courage test. Tom’s Demo, on his Initiative 2, also performs the suppression ACM. If the Demo had acted before the Sniper and also participated in the Suppression, the Courage roll would have been reduced by 1 because multiple MERCS were suppressing. Kenny’s KemVar Leader realizes his Sniper’s position will soon be overrun and decides to act. With Tom’s Medic and Demo using suppression, Kenny moves his Leader into the line-of-sight of Tom’s Medic, Demo, and Leader. Because this movement was started outside the suppression line-of-sight he incurs no courage check to move into position. It is a risky maneuver, but he is desperate. ***

SIMULTANEOUS ACTIONS When two or more initiative rolls match, the reaction stat serves as a tie-breaker. The MERC with the higher reaction activates first. If there are multiple MERCS with the same initiative, compare and order all their reactions. If all reactions are the same, the result is a simultaneous action. These actions make MERCS both unique and more realistic. During a simultaneous action, all MERCS involved activate at the same time.

A SIMULTANEOUS ACTION INCLUDES THREE STEPS: 1. Plan 2. Reveal 3. Resolve The first step is planning. All MERCS involved in the SA declare, at the same time, what type of action they are performing: move, act, or hold. This can be done with counters, written words, or anything that allows concurrent reveal of the actions. In this way, one player isn’t at a disadvantage. These guidelines help determine what happens in a SA: Suppression cancels any action, even a simultaneous action. But the SA must be declared before checking for courage. Overwatch takes place before the declared SA, but doesn’t prevent it from occurring, even if the overwatch kills the target.

The chain of occurrence is suppression, then overwatch, then original action. Tom’s Medic and Demo try to suppress Kenny’s Leader’s overwatch action. He has a courage of 3. He rolls a 5 which is modified by a -1 for a final result of 4. This meets or exceeds his courage of 3, so the Leader succeeds and suffers no penalties to his attack. Furthermore, Tom’s Demo has had two suppression checks, so is not part of any suppression check for the next activation that occurs in his line-of-sight.

Tom’s Leader moves 1 MP (2 MP – 1 MP per the CCM move penalty), then Kenny’s Overwatch action takes place. When Tom’s Leader fires at the Sniper, the results of his action soccur simultaneous as Kenny’s overwatch results. In other words, if Tom’s Leader dies as a result of the overwatch action, his attack still takes place. Kenny’s Leader’s overwatch action consists of firing his primary weapon at Tom’s moving Leader. Two shots starting with the base firing number of 6 + 1 to the roll for no cover and -1 to the roll for firing at a moving target. He rolls two dice, a 4 and an 8, getting one hit. Kenny’s Leader’s primary weapon is strength 2 vs. Tom’s Leader’s armor value of 2. Tom’s Leader takes one blood and checks against armor failure. He rolls a 7 and es the test. Bloodied but not damaged beyond repair, Tom’s Leader fires on the KemVar Sniper. Tom must deal with the KemVar’s Active Camouflage corporate trait. Two shots starting with the base firing number of 6 - 2 to the roll for Attack & Move and -1 for the KemVar Active Camo. He rolls a 4 and a 8 — both misses. Tom’s Medic continues to use suppression, but the Demo fires at Kenny’s Leader. This action is also in the overwatch of Kenny’s Leader, but Kenny must take one activation off per the overwatch rules, so the Leader does not fire. The Demo fires two shots starting with the base firing number of 6. Active Camo reduces the roll by 1. Tom’s Demo rolls a 9 and 10 — wow, two hits!

ACMS

During the next round of initiatives, Kenny’s Leader gets lucky and rolls a 10. He cannot increase his initiative further because his initiative modifier is 0. He moves first, and announces that his Leader is going on overwatch. This allows him to fire on any moving or acting targets that he can see (check lin-of-sight) in a 180˚ arc in front of his position per the overwatch rules. Tom does not let Kenny’s actions distract him from his goal and continues his assault on the Sniper’s position with his Leader. Because Tom’s Leader is under overwatch, of Kenny’s Leader, he may be fired upon and possibly injured. However, Kenny’s Leader might not have an easy overwatch check due to the suppression of Tom’s Medic and Demo.

MORE ON SIMULTANEOUS ACTIONS Certain liberties may be taken with same team’s simultaneous actions. The need for counters in the plan step can be set aside. However, the player must still clearly communicate what each figure is doing before performing any action.

The second step is revealing the planned actions. Four types of events can occur: move and move, move and act, act and act, or any action and hold.

Keep in mind that although the actions may be resolved separately at the table, these actions occur at the same time in the game.

Of the actions revealed, only the act step requires further attention in the reveal step. If a player is acting, then the action must be declared. If it is an attack, then a target must be selected.

If a MERC is killed while in a simultaneous action, the players still resolve the result of his action. It is entirely possible for a game to end with the last two figures killing each other in a SA.

The third step is resolution, where players actually roll and apply any results.

Following are the special rules that apply to resolving possible SA events.

MOVE AND MOVE In situations where both players are moving, players move their MERCS. If the SA minis are in melee and at least one MERC wants to remain in melee range, then they will. The MERC who wishes to move, moves half his movement points rounded down, then can adjust facing up to 90°. The MERC who wants to stay in hand-to-hand places himself adjacent in the same facing position as before. After the attack, the MERC who moved finishes his movement. If the MERC’s initial half movement is two movement points, the attacker must have 2 movement points to remain in melee combat. If the attacker does not, then the MERC gets away and the attacker does nothing.

MOVE AND ACT The moving MERC moves half his movement (rounded down), then remains while the act takes place. The target is considered to be moving. (See modifiers.) Any LoS modifiers are applied at the new position. If the target is out of LoS or range, then the target can no longer be attacked. If the moving target is killed, he gets to finish his movement, then dies. If the target doesn’t die, but his armor fails, then he finishes his movement before any MP penalties apply.

ACT AND ACT If both parties are acting, their actions occur simultaneously. In cases where the action would save a target from dying, then the target is saved. If one or both MERCS are killed, their combat results still apply to the target, even in the case where an overwatch action kills the target.

ANY ACT AND HOLD If one of the participants in the SA is choosing to hold, then treat the SA as a normal action. The holding MERC marks the hold and nothing else.

TEMPLATES Some weapons have special firing diagrams. These templates are located on the reference card, near the associated weapon. When a weapon has a template, all targets under the template are attacked. Template weapons are special. If a target, friend or foe, has any portion of his base in the template, then he receives the attack. Attack dice are not split, or shared, in a template attack unless stated explicitly in the language of the attack. Each target receives the full attack dice.

Any MERC at armor value 0 hit by a template attack takes double damage.

TEMPLATES AND OVERWATCH

0

When a full auto weapon is used on overwatch, the rules for templates still apply. If a target triggers overwatch, all targets in the template receive attacks. The overwatching MERC may adjust the template anyway he wishes to avoid collateral damage. However, the target that activated the overwatch must be inside the final alignment. 7

NON-COMBAT ACTIONS Any action on the battlefield that isn’t combat is referred to as a non-combat action. These actions are often vital to combat but don’t involve the MERC 2 inflicting harm on a target. There are several types of NCAs: using equipment to heal or repair a target, or performing an interact check. In all cases, the MERC performing the action must roll equal to or over a target number. The biggest difference between NCAs and combat action is the lack of modifiers for noncombat actions.

USING EQUIPMENT Using a medkit, repair kit, or enhancer is considered a non-combat action that cannot fail. As long as the MERC using the equipment is in base range, he needs only to announce he is using the equipment and track uses. The effect of the equipment happens immediately and automatically.

If a piece of equipment is used in a simultaneous action where the MERC uses a piece of equipment, medkit, repair kit, or enhancer before the attack, the target number and effectiveness of the attack can change.

USING INTERACT Interact is a catchall stat. It can be used as the repair stat when attempting to fix broken armor without a repair kit. It can disarm traps. It can be used to interact with locations in scenario based skirmishes. The lower the number, the greater chance for success.

2

5

When playing scenarios or alternate play modes (like control or capture), MERCS are often called to interact with an object in the playing area. In cases like these, the MERC must be in base range and succeed at the target number in his interact stat.

Non-combat action can be prevented using suppression or attacked using overwatch.

A status effect is applied to a situation beyond typical damage. Status effects have unique rules that affect gameplay in different ways. Most status effects stay in play for a duration of time extending beyond one round. Most effects are timed and removed when the MERC under the effect activates. Status effects that affect an area of the skirmish are timed and removed in the refresh phase.

ADRENALINE If a MERC is under the effect of adrenaline 2, that MERC‘s courage roll increases by 1, reaction increases by 2, and attack roll increases by 2. The status effect lasts as long as the number after the boosted keyword.

ARMOR FAILURE If a MERC’s armor fails, he receives an armor failure token. This token remains in play until the MERC’s armor is repaired. While the armor is broken, the MERC moves at -2 MP, the armor value is reduced by 1, and the MERC can possibly lose one or more of his corporate traits.

BURNING If this attack is successful, the target’s armor failure and courage rolls are decreased by 1 for 2 rounds. In addition, the target gains 2 burning tokens and is considered suppressed 2 rounds. The target removes 1 token during each activation.

ETA This effect requires the Sefadu MERC to possess an ETA weapon. When the MERC attacks a target tagged by the Sefadu Leader’s spear, the ETA status effect increases the attack roll by 2. This status effect is never removed.

FROZEN If this attack is successful, the target gains 3 frozen tokens. The target removes 1 token during each activation. For each token on the target, decrease his movement points by 1 and decrease his attack roll by 1.

HACK The hacked MERC provides line-of-sight for the opposing team and decreases all attack rolls by 1

HOLD The hold action means the MERC will not perform an action this round. Performing a hold action allows the MERC to add or subtract 2 to his existing initiative modifier in the next initiative phase. After the initiative is assigned, remove this token.

PINNED If this attack is successful, the target is unable to move until an interact check is ed.

REPULSOR If a MERC is affected by a repulsor tag, he cannot move within 1 card length of another MERC with the same repulsor status effect. If a target is tagged and is within 1 card length of another repulsor tag, both MERCS suffer from force 1 and are involuntarily moved away from each other.

SMOKE This status affects the skirmish. Place a smoke token at the targeted location. If the smoke token blocks LoS between MERCS, the attacking MERC decreases his attack roll by 2. In addition, MERCS within the area of effect have their reaction increased by 2. This effect lasts 2 rounds and is removed in the refresh phase.

STUN Each target suffering from stun cannot activate for 2 rounds. The target gains 2 stun tokens. The duration of this effect is reduced only when a MERC would activate during a round. The target removes 1 token during each activation.

TOXIN This status affects the skirmish. If this attack is successful, place a grenade token in the targeted area for 2 rounds. Enemies still within the diagram suffer 1 blood during the refresh phase. This effect is removed in the refresh phase.

REFRESH PHASE

The third phase of the game round is the refresh phase. During this phase, players check for certain results in scenario play and cleanup the playing space. There is a specific order during the refresh phase: 1. Check for Victory 2. Special Actions 3. Status Conditions 4. Cleanup

CHECK FOR VICTORY Victory conditions are unique to each scenario or game mode. Regardless of the condition, the first step in the refresh phase is to check for scenario or skirmish victory. It is very important that conditions for victory are checked before special actions results, because in a scenario the victory is achieved by completing a special action. Refreshing in this order allows both players one more game turn to act.

SPECIAL ACTIONS Special actions is a catchall phrase for those elements or victory points provided by the scenario setup. If the scenario provides for reinforcements, they arrive now. If a game mode allows for killed MERCS to “respawn”, they are placed back into the skirmish in this step.

Victory points for the control and capture game modes are awarded in this step of the refresh phase. Basically, if the skirmish has a special action, or several, they occur after players check for victory but before status effects.

STATUS CONDITIONS There are a few status effects, like smoke and toxin, which are applied to the skirmish. The duration of this effect is reduced during this step of the refresh phase. If the status effect is set to lapse, it is removed at this point in the round.

CLEANUP This is the last step in the refresh phase and the last thing that happens in any given round. Cleanup ensures the table is ready for the next round and allows the players to reassess the table in neutral time. If something was forgotten and the players agree, it can be applied during cleanup. Additionally, players can use the cleanup step to all miniatures have the correct tokens and amounts.

This MERC can move and interact with objectives in base range.

QUICK REFERENCE PHASE ORDER A game of MERCS occurs over several rounds. Each round includes three phases:

1 INITIATIVE PHASE

2 ACTION PHASE

3 REFRESH PHASE

RANGE DIAGRAMS BASE RANGE

SHORT RANGE

Base range is the base width of a MERC. If the target is within the diameter of a base, the target is considered to be in base range. Several actions are eligible only in base range: melee combat, interacting with objects, medkits, repair kits, and enhancers.

Short range is the length of a MERC reference card. If the target is within a card length, but outside a base range, the target is considered to be in short range. Pistols and several types of grenades use short range.

MEDIUM RANGE

LONG RANGE

Medium range is the length of two MERCS cards. If the target is within the second card’s length if the cards are laid end-to-end, then the target is considered to be in medium range. Shotguns and carbines are medium range weapons.

Any length over two cards is considered long range. There is no limit to the distance a long range weapon can fire, although many long range weapons have range restrictions in base and short range. Single shot weapons, semiauto, and full automatic weapons all excel at long range.

CHAIN OF OCCURRENCE There is a very specific order in which suppression and overwatch interact with standard actions in the basic rules, which is called the chain of occurrence. This order dictates which advanced rule has precedence over another in the skirmish. The chain of occurrence is:

1 SUPPRESSION

2 OVERWATCH

3 ACTION

SUPPRESSION 2 ON, 1 OFF

OVERWATCH 1 ON, 1 OFF

ACTIONS THAT NEVER TRIGGER A SUPPRESSION OR OVERWATCH: HOLD, SNAP-TO-COVER, IVE ABILITIES, AIM, SUPPRESSION

STATUS EFFECTS ADRENALINE

HOLD

If a MERC is under the effect of adrenaline 2, that MERC‘s courage roll increases by 1, reaction increases by 2, and attack roll increases by 2. The status effect lasts as long as the number after the boosted keyword.

The hold action means the MERC will not perform an action this round. Performing a hold action allows the MERC to add or subtract 2 to his existing initiative modifier in the next initiative phase. After the initiative is assigned, remove this token.

ARMOR FAILURE

PINNED

If a MERC’s armor fails, he receives an armor failure token. This token remains in play until the MERC’s armor is repaired. While the armor is broken, the MERC moves at -2 MP, the armor value is reduced by 1, and the MERC can possibly lose one or more of his corporate traits.

If this attack is successful, the target is unable to move until an interact check is ed.

If this attack is successful, the target’s armor failure and courage rolls are decreased by 1 for 2 rounds. In addition, the target gains 2 burning tokens and is considered suppressed 2 rounds. The target removes 1 token during each activation.

ETA This effect requires the Sefadu MERC to possess an ETA weapon. When the MERC attacks a target tagged by the Sefadu Leader’s spear, the ETA status effect increases the attack roll by 2. This status effect is never removed.

FROZEN If this attack is successful, the target gains 3 frozen tokens. The target removes 1 token during each activation. For each token on the target, decrease his movement points by 1 and decrease his attack roll by 1.

HACK The hacked MERC provides line-of-sight for the opposing team and decreases all attack rolls by 1

If a MERC is affected by a repulsor tag, he cannot move within 1 card length of another MERC with the same repulsor status effect. If a target is tagged and is within 1 card length of another repulsor tag, both MERCS suffer from force 1 and are involuntarily moved away from each other.

SMOKE This status affects the skirmish. Place a smoke token at the targeted location. If the smoke token blocks LoS between MERCS, the attacking MERC decreases his attack roll by 2. In addition, MERCS within the area of effect have their reaction increased by 2. This effect lasts 2 rounds and is removed in the refresh phase.

STUN Each target suffering from stun cannot activate for 2 rounds. The target gains 2 stun tokens. The duration of this effect is reduced only when a MERC would activate during a round. The target removes 1 token during each activation.

TOXIN This status affects the skirmish. If this attack is successful, place a grenade token in the targeted area for 2 rounds. Enemies still within the diagram suffer 1 blood during the refresh phase. This effect is removed in the refresh phase.

The Sab3R stays in cover and attempts to attack before moving. When attacking, she will try to his as many targets in her template attack as possible. If there are no targets for her to attack, she will move away from the MERCS, towards a flank, and try to reconnect with her SecFor . SecFor: Sab3R is accompanied by 2 SecFor IV, 2 SecFor III, and 4 SecFor II. Stats for SecFor can be found on page 332. Dormant/Active: SecFor are dormant until a MERC enters their activation zone. If a MERC enters a zone, the SecFor are considered active. Immediately roll initiative. Any SecFor whose initiative is higher than the current initiative number activate immediately. Active SecFor follow priority. Once active, SecFor will pursue MERCS into other areas. SecFor do not activate dormant SecFor.

When you release a MERCS unit from employment, or cannot the upkeep of units, your initial 2 Assault MERCS are replaced by MegaCon SecFor (security forces). You may not have more than 2 security guards. Guards may have one already-purchased corporate trait. During subsequent turns of the campaign, when you hire new MERCS, they automatically replace security guards. Bankruptcy: If you cannot sell off enough assets to become solvent and keep your leader and two security guards employed, you are liquidated and removed from the campaign.

This campaign uses the MERCS: Conflict resource dice. These dice are used to determine victory earnings and how a MegaCon is spending its CHINA resources. SOUTH SEA Each player tracks the locations of his MERCS squad and 2 resource teams on the map with counters or pushpins. Don’t use anything permanent, because locations will change hands. Unlike many strategy games, players cannot “own” territory on the map. The MegaCons are instead seeking to defeat the other MegaCons and to exploit the area for its resources.

Mercs Players start with a MERCS squad of three . These are bought using an initial Conflict dice pool resource dice roll. A MERCS team can never be deployed with just two . If a player’s three-person MERCS squad takes a casualty, that player must hire a replacement during the economic phase.

MERCS squads have an upkeep cost associated with the number of , type of , and technology level. For more details, see the ”Upgrade & Upkeep Tables” later in this section. Starting MERCS squads do not have any corporate traits (CT). These must be researched during the economic phase. Any acquired CT is automatically upgraded across all existing MERCS.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am still flawed and Christ still smiles on me. All but for his grace. It was six years ago that Keith and I started this endeavor. The more things change, the more they stay the same. You’ll find the usual suspects here: Donna, my wife, guides me better than any Kobayashi; Keith, the artist, has more style than Fenster and is nearly as funny; Kenny, my friend, full of purpose and more oneliners than McManus; Tom, the sculptor, has a mind for the matter at hand and, much like Hockney, is the reason we are all in this line-up. We’re all Keyser Soze and the lineup has been rigged from the start. —Brian

To all my grade school buddies who molded miniatures into my core, Greg Fauvergue for showing me this could be a career, and my parents, John and Bethany Mason, for providing endless encouragement and opportunity. Above all, to my wonderful wife, Katie Mason, who makes it possible for me to pursue my ion to create tiny characters everyday. Thank you! —Tom

MERCS has been the backbone of MegaCon Games since the company was first founded as Mercs LLC. Without MERCS there would never have been a Myth, an Emergence Event, or a MegaCon Games. Through the creation of MERCS, we have touched a lot of lives. To have an opportunity to bring a measure of happiness to anyone is something I value over anything else. It has taken some time, but we are finally able to give our first IP the definitive edition it deserves. MERCS fans, you have helped shape the future of MERCS through community events, conventions, and our forums, and for that I, and everyone at MegaCon Games, thank you. Mostly I must thank Jennifer. My love, my life, my inspiration. Love you, honey! —Kenny

MERCS origins are truly humble. The hopes of some punk kids in a small town college. A co-worker who said yes to the question, “Hey man you wanna write some lore?” A new face who brought true meaning to the phrase “juice it.” All boxed up in a nifty warehouse home basement. From those humble origins something special grew. Something we as a team are proud to share once again. For me as an artist, this book spans a body of work that has been produced over many years. I had such a fun time creating the images; I hope you enjoy them. As always I praise the Lord for what he has done. He gave me a ive spouse, and continues to inspire, lead, and give me life to the full. —Keith

Most of the cool terrain you see in the fancy photos throughout the book was provided by The Miniature Building Authority. If you don’t know how to make your tables look cool, start here: www.miniaturebuildingauthority.com. Additionally, some of the terrain we use was built and painted by Johnny McGinnis. He did an amazing job and this book wouldn’t be the same without his efforts. We are not professional painters. We use professional painters to make our models look as awesome as their details allow. We use several pro painters and all are equally important: Angel Giraldez, Elizabeth Beckley, Guillermo Hernadez, Jody Kropholler, Joshua Graham, Michelle Blastenbrei.

Dan Tobin at www.snap2cover.com has been a er on the frontlines for some time. More importantly, he has become a good friend often helping at conventions. Dan is the man. His battle report videos are some of the best. You can be entertained and learn at the same time. This book and the success of MERCS in general could not be complete without the very gracious assistance from several special people. These people are special to MegaCon Games. They help in so many ways. We couldn’t do what we do without them. Some are game designers, some are game producers, some are MERCS TT tournament world champions, and some are just the best of friends. Thank you Andrew Meredith, Karl Scheer, Wade McMillan, Eric Conrad, Thaddeus James Crawford, Corky Boucher, Marianne Osborne, and Sir Johnny Grogan. Finally and deservedly, we want to thank all the Recon Kickstarter backers. Truly, we spared no expense with the production of the MERCS TT 2.0 game rules because you all provided us the funds to really take it to the next level. We use the funds from our Kickstarters on the production quality of what we make. We hope you see our love and gratitude for you in these pages.
