DISTANCES AND LINE OF FIRE (LOF)

MEASUREMENTS
When measuring the distance between two
Troopers, players must measure between
the closest parts of their bases.
To determine what is the distance between
two objects or scenery items, players must
measure a straight line between them.

Line of Fire (LoF) is the criterion by which players

determine whether a Trooper can see its target.
For a Trooper to be able to draw LoF to its target, it must
When moving Troopers around the battlefield, meet these conditions:

part of the base for their measurements. ► The Trooper must be able to see part of the volume of
its target, with a minimum size of 3x3mm.
► LoF can be drawn from the Trooper to any point in the
target’s volume without being obstructed by any pieces
of scenery or Troopers (friendly or enemy).

TYPES OF ROLL
AND SUCCESS VALUE
IInfinity CodeOne’s game mechanics revolve around
two types of d20 rolls: Normal Rolls (this roll is used
when a Trooper is not facing off against an enemy) and
Face to Face Rolls (when two or more Troopers act at
the same time to try to thwart each other’s progress).
The Success Value (SV) is the numeric value
resulting from applying any applicable Modifiers
to the Attribute being used for the Skill. To find
out if a Skill has succeeded, a d20 is rolled and
the result is compared to the Success Value. 9
