Battlespace is an ultra modern military tabletop solo game that is designed to be easy to learn and quick to play. Using the
Quick Team build, a player selects 4 pre-made soldiers out of a 12 man squad for his fireteam. The soldiers’ cards have all
of the information required to get the them to the table, so you don’t spend time page flipping looking for stats. If you feel
like your fireteam is going in light on firepower or you just want to add tactical depth, gear cards are available to further
differentiate your soldiers.

The simple AI along with the Sitrep cards, direct the opposition giving the missions a dynamic feel each time you play.
Simply draw a card and follow the text.

an enemy is shooting at your soldier, you are rolling to
determine if your soldier avoids the gunfire.

For your first game, set up a table (referred to as the Mission Area) with a generous amount of terrain (10+ pieces) placed
at your discretion. Next, shuffle the Sitrep deck and place it near the mission area face down. Place the maneuver card, dice,
counters, and enemy element cards nearby to use as needed.

Note: For your first game, we suggest only using “Al Wahid Fighters”.

Before you can begin the mission, you must form a fireteam. Choose four Soldier cards to place in your fireteam. Each soldier
card will list the individual soldier’s modifiers and a specialty skill, if the soldier has one. The fireteam is also given 12 points
to acquire gear. The gear can then be distributed amongst the soldiers at your discretion.

Staging the Mission Area
Your soldiers will begin the mission in their deployment
zone. The location of the deployment zone depends on the
mission, but will normally be on an edge of the mission
area. When placing your soldiers in the deployment zone,
place them in an area within the size of the maneuver card.

Optional Rule: Alpha, Bravo

When playing with two fire teams, each fire team will have
its own deployment zone.

Place enemies that are beginning the game in their

designated spot on the mission area. This is noted in the
mission’s description. If you are not using a mission from
this rule book, you can randomly set this up by rolling on
the Random Enemy Staging Chart found on page 17.

Battlespace is played in turns. A turn consists of the

3 phases: Player Phase, Sitrep Phase, and Clear Phase.
The following rules will cover what a player will do during
each phase.

SITREP Phase
Begin the Sitrep Phase by drawing a card from the
Sitrep deck. Follow the instructions on the Sitrep card
immediately and place the card in the discard pile. Sitrep
cards will often instruct you to activate enemy models
during this time.

Any enemy models that did not activate by the Sitrep card
drawn during the Sitrep phase, will now activate. These
enemies will move and attack a soldier in LoS. Once all
enemies that are able to activate have done so, the Strep

An Enemy Element will move and attack together, but
only enemy models in the enemy element with LoS can
participate in making individual attacks when the enemy

Moving
When moving, enemies will take the shortest route that
will get them into LoS of the player’s soldiers. Enemies will
use doors (or walk around) before climbing walls or over
objects that would impede their movement. Enemy Element Positioning
For fast movement and placement of an enemy element,
move the point man up to the required movement. Then,

COVER deviate from an attacking position or
path to get into solid cover.
There are two types of cover that models can benefit from,
Obscured cover and Solid cover.

Obscured Cover
A model is considered to have obscured cover when
any part of the model is not visible from the LoS of the
attacking model. When a soldier has obscured cover and
is the target of a shooting attack, the Threat lvl is at -1. A
soldier targeting an enemy with obscured cover receives

is the target of a shooting attack the Threat lvl is at -2. A
soldier targeting an enemy with solid cover receives -2 to

Man Down
A downed soldier is incapacitated and cannot receive any
orders, nor contribute to modifiers and is vulnerable to
AoE weapons.
A soldier can drag a downed model during his
move order if they are in base contact at the beginning of
the movement. The soldier dragging the downed model
is then considered to be using a sidearm. When he makes Point Blank Range

Elevation is terrain that stands higher than the height of

elevation.

• If the top of the elevated area is more than 3x the

height of the model, 2 more orders are required to
climb the distance. The soldier climbing the elevation
is considered to have stopped climbing at the midway
point. The soldier will continue to climb once he uses
2 more orders to climb the remaining distance.

Hindering Terrain
Hindering Terrain is anything that would interrupt or
impede a model’s movement. Hindering terrain ends
a model’s movement once the model comes into base
contact with it. When a model is in base contact or inside
an area of hindering terrain, the model cannot make an
advance movement. Leaving hindering terrain does not
end a model’s movement.

Note: Before the game starts, make sure to specify what Directional point (points at the targeting model)

terrain features are considered hindering terrain.

Weapon Jam
On a result of natural 1 when making a
shooting attack, the soldier’s weapon is
jammed he soldier must use 1 order to
clear the jam.

14
Night Combat
When missions take place at night or in an area with little to no light source (a room without natural or artificial light),
initiative rolls are at -1 and all other rolls are at -2.

Vehicles
A soldier must be in base contact with the vehicle and use 1 order to enter it. Exiting a vehicle is a free order. Models in
vehicles are considered to have obscured cover. If the vehicle is armored, the models are considered to have solid cover. LoS
is made to and from the cabin of the vehicle. All movements for land based vehicles are up to an advanced movement.
There must be at least two models occupying a vehicle in order to operate a mounted weapon and move in the same turn.

Civilians
Civilians block LoS for soldiers, but not enemies. If an enemy has its LoS obscured by a civilian when targeting a soldier, the
enemy still makes the attack. The civilian is caught in the crossfire and removed after the attack is resolved. Civilians have
1 HP so any amount of wounds will remove a civilian from the mission area.

When civilians are present in the mission area, they may react to soldiers in different ways. The first time a civilian has a
soldier in unobscured LoS, roll a D20 on the civilian reaction chart.

For each enemy straggler or enemy element starting in the mission area, use the random enemy staging chart. One at a
time starting from the center of the mission area, use the drift indicator (directional point facing yourself) to determine
the enemy’s starting position. Make an advance from the center of the table in the direction rolled and place the enemy or
enemies within the AoE of the maneuver card.
