​

SETUP
Set up as per normal game with these exceptions:
1.1 Put 3 locations into play.
1.2 Create a random dummy deck of 48 cards, 12 from each of 4 different

detachment colours from one faction (do not use Basic Resources or Warcasters

for Dummy) and place it to one side to form the Dummy Draw Deck.

 

PLAYER TURN
2.1 As the ONLY player, You will be first player.

 

DUMMY TURN
A. Capture Step
3.1 If Dummy can capture a location, he will do so, and gain tokens equal to the unmodified VP of the location. Occupying forces and locations are added to Dummy’s occupying forces deck.

 

B. Orders Step
4.1 Complete each step, for each location from left to right, before moving on to the next step:
4.1.1 STEP 1 – If a location has zero Dummy army cards then draw and DEPLOY one Dummy army card to that location.
4.1.2 STEP 2 – If Dummy has 1 or more army cards at a location, and there are no Player army cards there, then give Dummy 1 token
4.1.3 STEP 3 – If Dummy has 1 or more army cards at a location and there are 1 or more Player army cards at that location, then draw and DEPLOY one Dummy army card there.
4.1.4 STEP 4 – If Dummy has 7 or more tokens, then immediately draw and RUSH a Dummy army card to a random location and discard 7 tokens. Repeat as long as Dummy has 7 or more tokens.

4.2 NOTE: Dummy can Rush/Deploy from the first turn of the game

 

C. Battle Step
5.1 Play as normal, but the Player will, by default, determine the order in which battles are resolved.

 

GENERAL RULES
6.1 Dummy’s draw deck represents both Dummy’s Army deck and Reinforcement deck.
6.2 Dummy has no hand, so if an effect asks Dummy to discard, then instead discard a card from his draw deck. If an effect asks that it be a card of a certain type and the discarded card does not match that type, then ignore the effect.
6.3 Dummy has no Reserves, so ignore any effect that refers to his Reserves.
6.4 Any time Dummy draws a Resource card, add 1 token and draw again.
6.5 If Dummy’s draw deck is empty and must be drawn from, reshuffle his discard pile to form a new draw deck.
6.6 If Dummy is able to rush or deploy from his discard pile then he will.
6.7 If an effect causes Dummy to reduce the cost of a deployed or rushed army card, dummy takes 1 token for each CMD/WAR ( this includes WoW effects) the cost is reduced by.
6.8 If Dummy is told to gain 1 VP, give Dummy 1 token (for each VP) instead.
6.9 If Dummy tries to deploy or rush a card but is unable to deploy or rush that card, recycle it (i.e. place the card face-down on the bottom of the draw deck) and skip the deployment/rush (but do NOT discard any tokens).
6.10 Any effects which add a card to Dummy’s hand (e.g. “Draw a card”), instead add 1 token, and the card that would be added to Dummy’s hand is instead discarded.
6.11 Dummy will gain 1 token for each Player army card destroyed.
6.12 If Dummy is given the option to do something, then he always will, even if the impact is negative.

 

CHOOSING ARMY CARDS
7.0 Priority is given by the following table:
7.0.1 Most VP

7.0.6 Randomly
7.1 Dummy will assign his damage to your army cards [that can be destroyed] in the order given in 7.0
7.2 Dummy will prioritise his own cards in the order given in 7.0 (e.g. if Dummy must select a card to put into play from his discard pile then he will choose the highest ranking card first)
7.3 Dummy will protect his own cards in the order given in 7.0 (e.g. if Dummy must choose a card to destroy, those cards of lower ranking will be chosen first).

 

CHOOSING LOCATIONS
8.0 Priority is given by the following table:
8.0.1 Most VPs
8.0.2 Most Dummy Army cards
8.0.3 Randomly
8.1 If Dummy is asked to move one of his Army cards from a location, he will choose to move from the lowest ranking location according to table 8.0
8.2 If Dummy is asked to move one of his Army cards to a location, he will choose the highest ranking location.
8.3 If Dummy is asked to move a Player Army card from a location, he will choose to move from the highest ranking location.
