	==Ranged Combat==		==Ranged Combat==
	Personal ranged combat is primarily conducted with firearms and is extremely lethal. Gunfire is difficult to dodge, characters caught in the open are extremely vulnerable, and much of a gunfight involves fighting from cover, or attempting to flank around enemy cover.		Personal ranged combat is primarily conducted with firearms and is extremely lethal. Gunfire is difficult to dodge, characters caught in the open are extremely vulnerable, and much of a gunfight involves fighting from cover, or attempting to flank around enemy cover.<br>
	~~Ranged combat naturally builds advantage from aiming, from engaging targets without cover, and from certain stance bonusses (like Overwatch), and from ammunition exploit expenditures.~~
	~~Ranged Combat Stances~~
	Ranged combat has three basic stances – Overwatch, Snapshooting and ready. Stances are selected at the start of a character’s combat action. Once declared a stance persists over subsequent turns and rounds until it changes. Certain special abilities allow a character to change stances before, during or after their turn. Certain actions (by the character or an opponent) can also take an opponent out of a stance.
	Overwatch stance adds any gained advantage to accuracy. A character in overwatch must declare a 180 degree arc and is prepared to engage any enemy in that arc. After their turn is over, they may take an action in any subsequent turn as an interrupt. They may spend 1 Focus to gain an interrupt attack ahead of any enemy move or combat action. Overwatch stance persists until the character ends it by adopting another stance, evading or moving. If a character remains in overwatch at the end of a round they gain 2 advantage.
	Snapshooting adds any gained advantage to initiative and ranged AC. A character who is snapshooting can maintain the stance while moving. The dodge threshold for a character who is snapshooting is lowered by 1. If a character in Snapshooting stance fires on another charcter’s turn they can spend an Adrenaline exploit at the end of the turn to take a move action. Hitting the Deck will still remove the snapshooting stance.
	Ready is the basic firearms stance and adds any gained advantage to accuracy. It can be maintained while conducting a normal move action but not while running. A character who reloads their weapon will enter the ready stance.

	Combat Actions		Ranged combat naturally builds advantage from aiming, from engaging targets without cover, and from certain stance bonusses (like Overwatch), and from ammunition exploit expenditures.<br>
	Dodge
	As an interrupt a character can perform a Dodge using Physique + Athletics. Dodging is a Zero Threshold 5 defensive action, with each success adding +1 to a character’s AC. Dodging costs one action. Heroes can declare their dodge after their opponent has made the attack roll.		===Ranged Combat Stances===
	Characters with ranged weapons and going on ranged initiative dodge close combat attacks at Threshold 3.		Ranged combat has three basic stances – Overwatch, Snapshooting and ready. Stances are selected at the start of a character’s combat action. Once declared a stance persists over subsequent turns and rounds until it changes. Certain special abilities allow a character to change stances before, during or after their turn. Certain actions (by the character or an opponent) can also take an opponent out of a stance.<br>
	Reload
	Reloading refreshes the ammo exploit counter of a weapon and can be done as part of a move action. Reloading will reset a character’s combat advantage to 0.		'''Overwatch''' stance adds any gained advantage to accuracy. A character in overwatch must declare a 180 degree arc and is prepared to engage any enemy in that arc. After their turn is over, they may take an action in any subsequent turn as an interrupt. They may spend 1 Focus to gain an interrupt attack ahead of any enemy move or combat action. Overwatch stance persists until the character ends it by adopting another stance, evading or moving. If a character remains in overwatch at the end of a round they gain 2 advantage.<br>

	Hit the Deck
	As an interrupt, once a turn a character can Hit the Deck, gaining an +5 to AC against ranged combat attacks for the remainder of the current combat turn. This can be done in conjunction with a dodge and/or can be used to move into full cover. Hitting the Deck does not take an action, but costs a character all their advantage. As with a dodge, Heroes can declare this action after their opponent has rolled to hit.		'''Hit the Deck'''<br>

	Expending ammunition is one of the main methods for firearms users to ~~build advantage and~~ conduct special moves.
	Double Tap		===Ammunition Exploits===
			Expending ammunition is one of the main methods for firearms users to conduct special moves.<br>

			'''Double Tap'''<br>
	A character with can spend one ammunition to fire two shots in rapid succession. Calculation against AC for the first shot is done normally, while the second is calculated on a Limited Threshold of 5 + Weapon Recoil (x1). Evasive actions can still cause the second shot to miss, even if they cannot avoid the first.		A character with can spend one ammunition to fire two shots in rapid succession. Calculation against AC for the first shot is done normally, while the second is calculated on a Limited Threshold of 5 + Weapon Recoil (x1). Evasive actions can still cause the second shot to miss, even if they cannot avoid the first.
	Burst
	A burst is a special kind of double tap only available to automatic weapons. The character can expend multiple points of ammunition, to increase the Limited Threshold by 1 per ammunition expended, potentially scoring three or more hits in a single attack.		'''Burst'''<br>
	Rapid Fire		A burst is a special kind of double tap only available to automatic weapons. The character can expend multiple points of ammunition, to increase the Limited Threshold by 1 per ammunition expended, potentially scoring three or more hits in a single attack.<br>
	Rapid Fire spends ammunition for a +2 Edge bonus which is added to the hit roll. Fully automatic weapons can spend multiple points of ammunition in this manner up to their rate or until they run out, but they only gain +1 Edge per advantage spent. This can be combined with other maneuvers.
	Sustained Fire		'''Rapid Fire'''<br>
	Sustained fire is conducted to hit all targets in a designated area, and can only be conducted with fully automatic weapons, or through the coordination of multiple shooters. For two points of ammunition a fully automatic weapon can put sustained fire over one 5m area for the rest of the round. A roll to hit can be made against all targets moving through that area, subtracting the weapons recoil from the hit roll. Multiple points of ammunition can be spent to expend this target area, but it must be contiguous and cannot exceed 20m long. Larger automatic weapons can affect larger areas.

	The winner gains +1 Advantage, and another +1 for every 5 points they win initiative by, and can choose where they act in the initiative order. In a multi-sided combat, the winner gains +2 Advantage, and the runner up +1.
	What the advantage can be spent on depends on what was rolled. Intellect + Tactics is Command Advantage, and can adds to Tactics rolls. Leadership allows the leader to transfer the advantage to any other unit as any kind of Advantage. Deception adds to further Command Initiative rolls. Rolling Physique or Senses means that the commander’s troops forfeit initiative, but the Commander can act independently in initiative order based on their roll, and gains personal combat advantage.

	~~Movement Phase~~
	~~Units can move their base movement without penalty.~~
	Units can dash by spending adrenaline (living), or making a pilot check (for vehicles), which allows them to take a second move. Dashing will automatically trigger a free overwatch attack from any unit in range and in an overwatch stance. Units with special movement actions, such as teleports, can take them instead of dashing.
	Charging is a special kind of dash that ends in close combat range. It is conducted as a dash and ends with a melee attack, before entering the combat phase. A unit in overwatch will still get its overwatch attack against a charging unit, and a unit in guard will get a melee counter-attack.
	Moving on roads will add bonus movement depending on road and unit type, so long as the unit stays on the road for its full move. Infantry gain +1 move, walkers gain +2, wheeled and hover units gain +3. This movement bonus also applies individually to each move action, such as a dash or charge.

	Units can attack in any order in the attack phase. Attacking is made up of hit rolls, damage rolls, defense rolls, and casualty rolls. The first two rolls are made by the attacker, and the second two by the defender.
	Accuracy Challenge to hit for ranged weapons is based on range. 5 for close, 10 for medium, 15 for long, 20 for extreme. Size modifiers can modify this when shooting at very small or very large targets. Units in cover add the value of their cover (1 – 10). Units taking defensive actions or in special stances can also add that to their AC.
	If the attacker meets or exceeds the AC they hit. Every threshold of 5 over the AC adds an extra damage roll. For every hit the attacker rolls damage. The difficulty of the damage roll is based on the firepower of the attacker compared to the defender’s durability.
	After damage is inflicted, the defender can make a defense roll if allowed. Defense rolls can be given by armour, cover, or other special abilities. Some defense rolls are cumulative, and will reduce the difficulty of the roll. They are generally independent of the kind of weapon being used, however some weapons will not allow certain defense rolls. A successful defense roll will either negate the attack, or may reduce its effects based on the conditions of the defense roll. If an attack hits, damages, and is not saved, the unit loses one or more points of strength.
	A unit that loses a point of strength makes a casualty roll to see what state it is in. It may only be out of the fight briefly, or it may be completely annihilated. Casualty rolls are adjusted based on the attackers firepower.
