+Richard III: Implementation Notes

+ +

+The rule book and card texts from Richard III unfortunately leave some things unspecified. +The interpretations used in this implementation are listed here. + +

+How do I designate the attacking main force? +

+The first block that moves into a contested area defines the main force. Any other blocks +who enter the battle from the same road also count as being part of the main force. +The attacking main force move is marked with an asterisk in the game log. + +

+If the defender is eliminated mid-round, when are the attacker/defender roles swapped? +

+Immediately. This means that any (formerly) attacking blocks that haven't fired yet +can benefit from defender bonuses when firing at the reserve blocks. + +

+Are reserves revealed from the start of battle, or only when they enter in round two? +

+Reserves are kept hidden until they enter the battle in round two. + +

+Does a senior heir in the reserve prevent a junior heir on the field of battle from +charging or using the defense bonus? +

+No. Only heirs revealed in combat are looked at when determining the most senior heir +present. + +

+Which shields can Lancaster heirs use for the defense bonus? +

+The most senior Lancaster heir in the battle can benefit from the common Lancaster shield. +

+Only Exeter, Somerset, and Richmond can benefit from their owns shields, unless they are dead, +in which case their shields are treated like the common Lancaster shield. + +

+How many heirs are entered if multiple heirs are killed in one turn? +

+One minor for each heir that has been eliminated. + +

+Can I recruit with with the 1 AP from the Force March, Treason, or Surprise cards? +

+No. The card text says "move one group". + +

+Can I use the Treason and Surprise cards for sea movement? +

+Yes. + +

+Can I use the port-to-port bonus with the Piracy event if not attacking? +

+Yes. The port-to-port bonus is only lost if the event is used to attack with a sea move. + +
