Some tiles also have special traits which can affect their whole unit or their whole army.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmies fight in three sectors - the battlefield. The goal is to eliminate at least half the value of your opponent's army.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelts vs. Romans is the first in the Ancients line and also the first in the Pocket Battle series. Each Pocket Battles game will feature two armies from a particular era or genre (yes, fantasy and sci-fi, we are looking at you).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic rules of the game are fairly simple; two armies face each other in battle. The armies are split into three columns and two rows. Players must decide, at the start of the game, how many points they will give to their armies, determining how many points it will take to defeat the opponents army. (At least half of the points).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn you turn; you have to choose which faction of your army you will send off to battle! Attacks are made by using Order Tokens. If no Order Tokens are present on a unit, it costs just 1 token to issue orders to that unit. Issuing orders to the same unit in the same Battle Round would cost you the number of tokens present on the unit, plus 1. (So if there is one existing token on your unit, it would cost you two additional tokens to activate; if you had three tokens on the unit, it would cost you four additional tokens, and so on).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a round of battle, you may choose to redeploy you units. (Units may move from the back of the row to the front of the same row, from the back of a row to the back of and other row, or from the front of a row to the front of and other row). Redeployment will not cost you any Order tokens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battle is over when one army defeats the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003cbr\u003e60 tiles, 6 dice, 20 wound\/order tokens, 2 player aids, 1 set of rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRomans: 1 aquilifer, 5 archers, 4 auxiliares, 1 ballista, 3 cataphracts, 3 cavalry, 1 centurion, 1 imaginifer, 1 imperator, 5 legionaries, 1 onager, 3 praetorians and 1 scorpio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelts: 1 champion, 1 chariot, 1 druid, 2 gaesatae, 1 hero, 3 horsemen, 4 javelinmen, 3 noblemen, 3 noble cavalry, 4 slingers, 5 warband, 1 warchief and 1 warrior queen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Z-Man Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":680505541,"sku":"101316","price":12.04,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Pocket_Battles_-_Celts_vs._Romans.jpg?v=1578608896","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/pocket-battles-celts-vs-romans","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
