Skirmish Combat System

Sengoku Quick Combat

1. Secretly choose and reveal a formation

2. Compare choices; you may gain a +1 modifier if you have X > than your opponent

3. Players roll a die on the casualty table and apply losses/kill units

Example:

Attacker: Generals with +2 CPs, 18 infantry strength, 4 ranged strength, 6 cavalry strength = 28 total

Defender: General with +1 CP, 4 infantry strength, 2 ranged strength, 8 cavalry strength = 14 total

Attacker chooses Arrowhead, Defender chooses Crane’s Wing

Attacker’s modifier is 0 (+1 for infantry advantage, -1 for formation choice)

Defender’s modifier is +2 (+1 for cavalry advantage, +1 for formation choice)

Attacker rolls a 4 and deals 40% of 28 in casualties = 11.2 (rounded to 11)

Defender rolls a 3+2 and deals 50% of 14 in casualties = 7

Attacker has more than twice defender after combat and gains +1 Honor. Defender loses no honor because this was a skirmish combat. NOTE: you don’t receive change when removing casualties above what’s required.
