General Principles
The Most Important Rule: Whenever a rule is
unclear or does not seem quite right, use common
sense and personal preference.
Units: Each unit consists of one or more models
acting as a single entity, and is defined by their
quality, size and whatever equipment and special
rules they have. You can find unit profiles in their
respective army supplement.
Quality Tests: Whenever a rule states that you
must take a Quality test roll one six-sided die trying
to score the units Quality value or higher, and if it
does that counts as a success.
Additional Dice: Whenever a rule refers to adding
dice they are added to the unit as a whole, and not
to each individual model (dice are added to the
most common weapon that is being used).
Line of Sight: If you can draw a straight line from
the attacker to the target without passing through
any solid obstacle, then he has line of sight.
Before we begin...
Preparation: The game is played on a flat 6x4
surface, with at least 5 pieces of terrain on it. The
players roll-off, and the winner chooses on what
side to deploy and has to start first.
The players alternate in placing one unit each within
12 of their table edge.
Objective: After 4 rounds the game ends, and both
players sum the point value of all enemy units they
destroyed or that are fleeing.
The player with the most points wins.
Playing the Game
The game is played in rounds, with each round
consisting of several phases in which units are
activated. Before each round the players roll-off to
see who goes first, and the winner gets to go first
during each phase until the end of the round.
Phases
During each phase the first player has to activate all
of his units before play passes onto the second
player. Once all units have acted during a phase the
game passes to the next phase until all phases have
been played. These are the phases:
1. Movement Phase
2. Shooting Phase
3. Close Combat Phase

Movement Phase
Units may use one of the following actions:
Action Move Notes
Hold 0 May turn to face any
direction, may shoot.
Walk 6 May turn up to 90 at any
point, may shoot. Target
gets +1 die to blocking.
Run 12 May turn up to 90 at any
point, may not shoot/cast.
Assault 12 May turn up to 90 at any
point, see close combat.
Gets +1 die to melee.

Units may use Walk/Run action to move sideways or
backward by moving up to half the distance.
Note that units may not move within 1 of other
units unless assaulting.
Shooting Phase
All models in the first two rows of the unit that are
in range and have line of sight of an enemy unit may
shoot one weapon at it. Units may not shoot into or
out of close combat under any circumstance.
The attacker takes one Quality test per Firepower in
the firing models, and each success is a hit.
The target then takes as many Quality tests as hits,
and each success is a block.
Subtract the number of blocks from the number of
hits, and remove as many models from the target
unit as the resulting number (defender may remove
them in any order, starting from the back row).


Close Combat Phase
When using an Assault action move the unit so that
as many models as possible are in base contact with
the target unit. If it is not clear what facing the unit
is assaulting roll a die, on a 4+ the attacker decides.
Any model in the front row that is in base contact
with an enemy model, and any model in the second
row that is in base contact with a friendly model
from the front row in base contact with an enemy
model may strike with all its melee weapons.
Both units strike simultaneously with all weapons,
which is resolved like shooting, and casualties are
removed after all attacks have been resolved.
When a unit is attacked in its side facing it may not
strike back, and when attacked in its rear facing it
may not strike back and all models in the front row
of the attacking unit double their firepower.
Compare how many models each unit lost, and if
one unit lost more models than the other it must
take a morale test.
If neither unit is destroyed or flees the combat
starts over on the next close combat phase (units
assaulted in the flank/rear turn to face their
attacker during the movement phase).
When a unit that is already in close combat is
assaulted by another unit in the same facing, you
must place both units so that they are both in base
contact with the same amount of enemy models in
the target unit. If this is not possible then the unit
may not charge that facing.
If more than two units are locked in close combat,
then the player whos turn it is decides which
combat is fought first, and has to fully resolve it
before moving onto the next fight.
Morale
Whenever shooting brings a unit down to half the
size it was before the attack or it loses more models
in close combat, it must take a morale test.
The unit takes a Quality test and if it is unsuccessful
the unit flees 2D6 away from the nearest enemy
within line of sight, or else toward the nearest table
edge (place the unit facing the direction it moved).
The unit may move through friendly units whilst
fleeing, and if it stops on top of another unit, move
that unit the least amount necessary to fit.
If this move brings any models from the unit outside
of the table borders or if it is impossible for the unit
to complete its full move, then the entire unit is
removed as a casualty.
A unit that is fleeing must take a morale test to be
activated. If it fails it flees 2D6 again.
Terrain
Cover (forests, ruins, fences, etc.): Units in cover get
+1 die to blocking when being shot. If at least half of
the models in a unit are within cover terrain, the
entire unit counts as being in cover. If at least half of
the models in a unit are hidden by a tall obstacle
(like a building or monster) from the perspective of
the attacker the unit counts as being in cover.
Difficult Terrain (woods, mud, rivers, etc.): Units
halve their movement when crossing difficult
terrain.
Elevation (cliffs, hills, ledges, etc.): Units get +1 die
to shooting when being at least 2 above their
target.
Army Composition
Each player may take up to 750pts or 1500pts worth
of units and upgrades in his army (you decide), and
each army may only have one Hero. You may also
take any combination of up to two special units
from the following: Chariots, Monsters, and
Ordnance.
Units are placed in formation, where all models
must be in base contact with each other. The unit
size represents how many models are in a row, and
you may take as many rows as * next to its size.





Units Types
Heroes: May join non-chariot/monster/ordnance
units of same Quality when deploying by replacing
one model from the unit. Note that heroes must be
placed in the front row of the unit they join.
Monsters: May fire all of their weapons (even at
separate targets) when using a Hold action and
never fail morale tests. Whenever assaulting non-
chariot/monster units the target must take a morale
test after combat, regardless of casualties. Dont get
benefits from cover/elevation.
When destroyed do not remove the model but
instead place a suitable marker on the monster.
Ordnance: May never move more than 6 at a
time, may only fire when using Hold actions and
may not use Assault actions. If the unit ever fails a
morale test it is immediately destroyed.
When destroyed do not remove the model but
instead place a suitable marker on the chariot.
Chariots: Chariots may do one of the following
when activated:
Action Move Notes
Hold 0 May turn up to 90, may
shoot.
Move 10 May turn up to 45 at any
point, may shoot. Target
gets +1 die to blocking.
Cruise 20 May turn up to 45 at any
point.
Ram 20 Move into base contact
with enemy units.

Chariots may not move sideways, however they
may move at half speed when reversing. When
using Ram actions the chariot deals D6 automatic
hits to the enemy. If a chariot is attacked in close
combat it may not strike back and it is never
locked in close combat (may freely move away
from models in base contact).
Chariots get no benefit from cover/elevation.
When destroyed do not remove the model but
instead place a suitable marker on the chariot.
Each ranged weapon provides as many dice to
shooting as its Firepower, and range less weapons
provide Firepower to close combat.
Melee weapons are divided into different classes
that specify their Firepower, whilst their weapon
type defines special rules that they have.
Units that do not have a melee weapon listed are
assumed to use a light sword.
D(n) Firepower weapons roll an (n) sided die to
determine Firepower for that attack and add 1.

Advanced Rules
Advanced Rules
Once you have gotten familiar with the way One
Page Fantasy works, you might want to try using
advanced rules to spice up the game.

Terrain
A great way to introduce variety in your games is by
giving crossable terrain (such as forests and rivers) a
random type as you play.
When a player wants to move a unit into or across a
piece of terrain roll one die and consult the
following table before moving any models, and once
the terrain type is revealed you must finish the
original movement.
Result Type
1-2 Difficult Terrain
3-4 Dangerous Terrain
5-6 Deadly Terrain

Dangerous Terrain (quicksand, deadly vegetation,
dark magic fields, etc.): Roll one die for every
model that moves into or across dangerous terrain.
The unit takes one hit for each 1 you roll.
Deadly Terrain (acid pools, lava, canyons, etc.):
Models that move into or across deadly terrain are
immediately removed as casualties.

Dispelling and Miscasting
Dispelling and Miscasting offer a new tactical
element to wizard combat and spell casting.
When an opposing wizard within 12 casts a spell,
or when an opposing spell is cast on a target within
12 of your wizard, you may try and dispel it. Note
that a wizard that has already cast a spell this round
may not dispel, and a wizard that dispels during a
round may not cast spells on his turn.
To dispel simply roll the number of dice indicated on
the following table, and pick the highest result. If
the result beats the wizards spell casting roll, then
the spells effects are not resolved.
Wizard Level Dispel Dice
5+ 1
4+ 2
3+ 3
2+ 4

When rolling a 1 on a spell cast or when dispelling,
something went wrong, and you must roll one die
on the following miscast table:
Result Effect
1-2 The wizard and his unit take 2D6
automatic hits.
3-4 The wizard and his unit take D6
automatic hits.
5-6 The wizard and his unit take D3
automatic hits.


























Buildings
Buildings are terrain models that consist of one solid
block which cannot be opened or reached into. Each
building has a transport capacity, quality value of
4+, armor value and the Tough special rule.
A unit that moves into contact with a building may
enter it, and units within a building may use a Walk
action to exit. If a unit is within a building when it is
destroyed it takes as many hits as models it has.
Resolve the hits like shooting and place the models
within 2 of the building.
A unit that is within a building may use a Walk or
Run action to get onto the roof of the building.
Units on the roof of the building behave as if they
were in open terrain, and have to leave the roof to
be able to exit the building.
Units may shoot into and out of any side of the
building that has some sort of firing point, and units
within the building always count as being in cover
and shooting from the topmost floor (not the roof).
Units may chose to fire at units within a building, or
at the building itself. When shooting at units within
the building any missed shot may be re-rolled, and
on a 4+ the building is hit instead. Note that all hits
on buildings are halved.
Units may use an Assault action to get into base
contact with a building to attack a unit inside it. All
models in both units attack, and the unit within the
building gets +1 attack dice. If the unit within the
building is destroyed or flees, then the assaulting
unit automatically enters the building.
Here are some guidelines for buildings:
Name Transport Armor
Clay Hut 6 -
Wooden Shed 6 1
Brick House 11 2
Large House 21 3
Castle Walls 11 4
Castle Keep 21 5











































Objectives
When using advanced objectives the table and
armies are set up just like a regular game. You can
either choose any of these or play with a random
one by rolling a die on this table:
Result Objective
1 Duel
2 Seize Ground
3 Relic Hunt
4 Sabotage
5 Breakthrough
6 Last Stand
1 - Duel: This objective is the standard game
objective as described in the Rules section.
2 - Seize Ground: After 4 rounds the game is over,
and the battlefield is divided into four equal
quarters, and both players sum the point value of all
their non-fleeing units in each quarter. Compare the
points for each quarter, and the player that has
more points in one quarter counts as having seized
it. The player with the most seized table quarters
wins.
3 - Relic Hunt: Before deploying armies D3+2 relic
markers are placed on the table. Roll-off to see who
goes first, and then alternate in placing one marker
each. The markers must be placed at least 12 away
from any table edge and from any other marker.
After 4 rounds the game is over, and both players
must see how many relics they seized. If a non-
fleeing unit is within 3 of a relic marker whilst no
enemy units are within 3 of the same marker, it
counts as seized. The player with the most seized
relics wins.
4 - Sabotage: Before deploying armies two shrine
markers are placed on the table. Roll-off to see who
goes first, and place one shrine marker within your
deployment zone, at least 6 away from the table
edge. A shrine marker may only be attacked by
assaulting it, it has no attacks and has Quality 4+
and the Tough special rule.
After 4 rounds the game is over, and the player that
has managed to destroy the enemy shrine marker
whilst keeping its own shrine marker alive wins.
5 - Breakthrough: Before deploying armies the
players roll-off to see who the attacker is, and the
opposing player becomes the defender.
After 4 rounds the game is over, and if at least 25%
of the attackers force (worked out by point cost) is
within the defending players deployment zone he
wins.
6 - Last Stand: Before deploying armies the
players roll-off to see who the attacker is, and the
opposing player becomes the defender.
The defending player must split his army in half
(worked out by point cost), and deploy one half
within 6 of the table centre, this half will be
referred to as the defenders. The other half of his
army must be deployed within 3 of any table
border. The attacking player then deploys his army
anywhere on the table, at least 12 away from
enemy models.
After 4 rounds the game is over, and if at least 75%
of the defenders (worked out by point cost) are still
alive and not fleeing, the defending player wins.
Common Special Rules
Common Special Rules
Armor(X): This unit adds +X dice when blocking
attacks. If a unit with armor joins another unit (with
or without armor), you must use the highest armor
value for the entire unit.
Fast: This unit adds 3 at the end of any movement,
including fleeing. If a unit with this ability joins a
unit without it, you must pay +5pts per model
without it so that it gets the ability.
Fearless: Unit may re-roll failed morale tests.
Nibmle: Unit may turn as many times as you want
during Walk, Run or Assault actions.
Indirect: This weapon may be fired at enemies that
are not within line of sight, and it ignores cover
from sight blocking terrain. The target unit gets +1
dice to blocking (even if several Indirect weapons
are fired by the same unit).
Scout: This unit is deployed after all other non-
scout units have been deployed. You may deploy
this unit anywhere on the table at least 12 away
from enemy units (if both players have Scout units
roll-off to see who deploys first). If a unit with this
ability joins a unit without it, you must pay +5pts
per model without it so that it gets the ability.
Tough: Whenever this unit would remove a model
as a casualty place a marker next to it instead.
Whenever this unit has accumulated 3 markers you
must remove one model as a casualty and remove 3
markers. If a unit with this special rule joins a unit
without it, only apply this rule to that unit, and you
must either accumulate markers until all models
with this rule have been removed as casualties, or
remove other models as casualties before starting
to accumulate markers.
Very Tough: Works exactly like Tough, however
you must accumulate 6 markers before removing
models and you remove 6 markers.
Wizard(X): This model may cast one spell during
the shooting phase instead of firing its weapon. To
cast a spell the wizard must have line of sight, and
the wizard might cast spells on units engaged in
close combat. Wizard that are in close combat
themselves may also cast spells on their own unit,
or on the unit that they are fighting.
When casting a spell you must first roll one die and
score an X+ and then you may resolve its effects,
when targeting units engaged in close combat roll
two dice and pick the lower result, and when the
wizard is engaged in close combat roll three dice
and pick the lower result.

Weapon Types
Fists/Claws/Sword/Staff: No special rules.
Spear: May fight if in base contact with a friendly
model from the second row that is in base contact
with a friendly model from the front row in base
contact with an enemy model.
Halberd: Firepower +1.
Mace: Firepower +2, Strikes Last
Lance: Firepower +2 when assaulting.

Common Upgrades
Note that sergeants, musicians and battle
standard bearers must be placed in the front
row of their unit.

Sergeant: One model gets +1 melee attacks.
Musician: This unit may re-roll failed morale tests.
Battle Standard: When working out who won
close combat add 1 to the number of models this
unit killed in melee.
