A figure can only use 1 weapon in an attack he may use his fists if he has no weapon. Must be in Base to Base contact ( the only exception is when a i.e low wall is in between figures ie soft cover/hard cover)

5 The defender if not killed can continue in melee and become the attacker in his turn, or can move away unless surrounded by 4 figures. If any Machine hits another Machine or figure this is classed as a melee, only D10, D12, D16, D20, D30 figures etc can melee back with a Machine. D6 D8 figure etc must try and move away unless figures etc are on top of a machine or are visible to melee with. If any Machine is destroyed in melee then all figures inside throw 1xD? to save. A score of 5 PROCEDURE Each Attacking figure in melee throws 1xD? appropriate dice.

Medium Machine D30 for Each Heavy Machine MORALE If the Hero/Villain is killed the Sidekick/Femme Fatale takes over. If he/she/it is killed then troops have to take a MORALE TEST. When you have less than 250 points you take a MORALE TEST. Each time 1 figure or more is killed when you have less than 250 points you take a MORALE TEST Even if your total Points is slightly less than 500 points, the start figure for deduction is always 600. MORALE TEST Throw 1xD12 and minus to the score if applicable. -2 Hero/Villain killed -2 Sidekick/Femme Fatale killed -2 Hero/Villain troops below 250 points A score of 4 or more carry on as normal, if not retreat towards start edge A Morale Test can be taken again after 3 moves of retreat. Each figure has a total which you have calculated off the Points Allocation table So you would deduct he/she/it s total off 500 each time they were killed same for machines etc

6 SPECIAL ABILITIES Special Abilities start out as D6 then 1 turn to change into Special Abilities D16 and visa versa When changing into another being i.e Vampire to small creature(bat) and visa versa, this only occurs at the beginning of a (your) turn. Special Abilities enter the Terrain Board in Normal Form and can change instantly next turn. There is no deduction for movement when changing from one form to another.the figure can only move in one of its forms i.e Vampire at the beginning of its turn changes into a bat and then can move Next turn the bat can change into a Vampire and move on foot The same with werewolves etc. Special Abilities if fired at or in melee, do so at D6 if caught in normal form. i.e Vampire is in bat form and is attacked in melee so melee s as small creature which is D6. Human to Invisible Man (if in invisible form cannot be fired at, always keep a note where Invisible Man is just in case another figure bumps into him and decides to melee) Bat (small creature) to Vampire Dr Henry Jekyll (human) to Mr Hyde (Monster) With Special Abilities Vampires,Zombies if they kill an opponent, that opponent will become a Vampire Zombie in Vampires/Zombies next turn. Time Machines You Must State whether you are in the Past Present or Future before you throw the 1xD24 When you have thrown 1xD24 and arrive in the square you want to then you have 3 extra turns from that dice throw before the next players turn if in the Future The arrival in the present is just 1 turn.
