If all the Guns in Range are already Revealed, or there areno Guns in Range, the Detect Action has no effect.Example: I am battling 4 Tripods.2 Green, 1 Yellow, and 1 Red.I draw a Battle card and place the2 Green Tripods in the Hexlabeled “E”. I place the YellowTripod in “B”, and the Red in “A”.If more than 1 Gun is in the closest Range, you canchoose which Gun is Detected.Example: The Tripod is 2 Hexes away from the nearest Gunwith an Earthworks counter.

Human StepMartian Special ActionsAny Martian Action other than“Detect”, “Fire”, or “Move”, is aSpecial Action.Your Guns may Fire at any Tripod in Range.Every time a Gun that is protected byEarthworks Fires, it loses 1 level of Earthworks.Field Guns roll 1 die, and Siege Guns roll 2dice when they are Fired.Example:The Double Move Actionon this card is a Special Action.Arrival: A new random Tripodappears on Hex “C” and joinsthe Wave.Guns do not have to Fire if there is a Tripod in Range.Infantry, Cavalry, Refugees, and Characters cannot act.They stay in the Hex they were placed at the beginning ofthe Battle.Detect All: Roll to Detect eachGun within Range of the Tripod.twice straight down.Firing at a TripodDouble Move: The Tripod MovesWhen a Gun Fires at a Tripod, it must roll a die to see if itsuccessfully hits. The roll is based on the Range from theGun to the Tripod.Fire All: The Tripod Fires at all Revealed Guns in Range.Focused Detect: The Tripod successfully Detects thenearest Gun in Range, lowering a Gun’s Earthworks by 1.At Range 1, a Green roll will inflict 1 Hit on a Tripod.At Range 2, a Red roll will inflict 1 Hit on a Tripod.Focused Fire: The Tripod Destroys the nearest RevealedGun in Range.At Range 3, a Red roll will inflict 1 Hit on a Tripod.High Activity: The Tripod makes 2 Detect attemptsagainst the closest Gun with an Earthworks counter. Itthen makes 2 Fire attempts against the closest RevealedGun in Range.If your Attack roll inflicts a Hit against anUndamaged Tripod, the Tripod becomesDamaged.If your Attack roll inflicts a Hit against aDamaged Tripod, you Destroy the Tripod, andremove it from the Battle.Example: I’m following the listfrom top to bottom.

Parishas an additional counter showing 9-12.DEVASTATION PHASEAdvance the Clock counter to the DevastationPhase.To indicate that a Zone has taken aWorkforce loss, rotate and/or flip theZone’s Production counter until theZone’s current Workforce Value shows inthe upper right corner.Event CheckIf the Event card takes place during the DevastationPhase, draw the card, and complete the Event.Martian AttackExample: I have a Wave inCholet with 2 Tripods inits Tripod Staging Area. Iroll for that Wave’sDevastation and get a Green result(Heat Ray). 1 Unit of my choice isnow Destroyed. I lower my Workforceby 1, from 4 to 3. I also add 3Refugees to the Zone.Perform Tripod Devastation Attacks for each Zone with aWave counter. Reference the Player Help Sheet’s TripodDevastation section, and roll a die for each Wave.The Player Help Sheet shows the result of the Wave’sAttack. The Tripods in the Wave will either use their HeatRays, Black Smoke, or cause Panic.If the Production counter’s Workforce Valuereaches “0”, remove the Production counterand replace it with a Destroyed counter.This ends the Devastation Phase for that Wave.Do not continue down the list by adding Refugees orsubtracting Human Victory Points.If the Destroyed Zone has a Harbor, remove the Harborcounter.If the Devastation Phase causes Human Victory Point loss,reduce your Human Victory Points by that amount on theProgress Track. If you are at “0” Human Victory Points,and “0” Germ Points, do not lower your Victory Points anyfurther.Heat Ray: A mix of damaging the Workforce in a Zone,creating Refugees, and destroying Units.Example: You have 3 Germ Points and 1 Human VictoryPoint. You get a result of “-2 Human VPs”. Your HumanVictory Point counter moves to 9, and your Germ Pointcounter moves down to 2.Black Smoke: Primarily damages the Workforce of aZone.Panic: Primarily creates Refugees, and destroys Units inthe confusion.Follow the list shown for each Devastation in order from12(Think of the Germ counter as being in the “10s” place andthe Human VPs counter as being in the “1’s” place.)

If you roll a Yellow result in a Zone with 1Workforce, the Zone is Destroyed.Waves placed in a Powder Keg’s Zone after being createdby a Cylinder are not affected.InfantryDamage can be spread across multiple Tripods in aWave’s Tripod Staging Area.Instead of Moving, Infantry can perform anyone of the following Actions:Example: I have 2 Powder Kegs placed in Le Chesne. AWave gets a Move result to Le Chesne. As soon as the WaveMoves in, I roll for all Powder Kegs. I roll Green and Yellowcausing 2 Points of Damage. I decide to Damage 2 Tripodsin the Wave’s Tripod Staging Area. I also could haveDestroyed 1 Tripod. I also reduce Le Chesne’s Workforceby 1.Cylinder AttackAn Infantry Unit located in the same Zone as aCylinder may attempt to Destroy 1 of theTripods in the Cylinder.The counter mix limits how many Powder Kegs you canhave in the game.
