§9.⏩Momentum Track mechanic

The flow of battle is tracked on the War Altar using the ⏩Momentum Track. This is a slider that begins at a central "0" position and can move up to 2 spaces toward each player. Immediately after any action or effect is resolved, you must check the Gaining Momentum Procedure (GMP)to see if ⏩Momentum was generated.

§9.1.⏩Momentum Bonus

⏩Momentum Space: 2

This effect triggers after the end of the action, ability, spell, gambit or Divine favor that causes the ⏩Momentum slider to reach the 2 space on a player's side.

  • Reward: The player who triggered this effect may re-roll a single die during an Attack Test procedure in which one of their units is participating.

  • Important: This ability can be used to re-roll only one die per test, regardless of other rules or abilities that may grant re-rolls.

  • Duration: This effect remains active as long as the ⏩Momentum slider stays on the 2 space on that player's side. If the slider moves to any other space (0, 1, or 3), the effect immediately ends.

⏩Momentum Space: exceeds 2+

The track's special effects trigger after the end of action, ability, spell, gambit or Divine favor that caused a player's ⏩Momentum value to become greater than 2. The following happens:

1

Reset slider

Then the slider is immediately returned to the 0 position.

2

Reward

The player who triggered the effect may immediately perform a 1-hex displacement with one of their friendly units.

  • The chosen unit cannot be ⛓️Engaged by an enemy unit.

  • The chosen unit can be already activated or have not yet activated this round.

  • If a unit has not yet activated, being displaced does not use up its activation.

3

Consolation

The opposing player immediately gains +1 ⚜️Command Seal (CS).

Designer's Note: This reset to the '0' position happens regardless of how many ⏩Momentum points you gained in excess of 2. For example, if your slider was at '1' and you completed an action that generated +3 ⏩Momentum, your value "overshoots" to 4. You still trigger this procedure only once (gaining one displacement and your opponent gaining one ⚜️CS), and the slider resets directly to '0', not to '1' or '2'.
