The Anglo -Saxons

Anthony Casab (order #7217857)

The Anglo-Saxon Forces

This ruleset is devised for use with the Anglo-Saxon armies.
When using this ruleset, a player can only choose units and upgrades from this ruleset not
from the Empires D6 Rulebook.

Special Rules
Byrne/Hlenca
This amour grants the unit with Heavy Armour.

Greaves
A unit wearing Greaves can only be hit on 6s regardless of any other modifiers.

Full Face Helmet

A Chief wearing this armour grants their unit and other allied units within 18 with the
Never Fall Back rule.

Small Shield
A unit carrying a Small Shield reduces enemy melee skill by +1.

Seax (Dagger)
A unit carrying this side weapon is granted with the Hidden Weapon rule.

Sweord (Sword)
The Sweord is the base weapon for units and thus, does not confer any bonus in melee.

Late Saxon Sword

The Late Saxon Sword improves the units melee skill by -1, as well as granting the front rank
with two melee attacks in combat.

Gar (Spear)
A spear has a -1 melee skill modifier against cavalry units, and denies a charge bonus from
both infantry and cavalry units from the front arc only.
Also, a Saxon unit wielding spears can use it as ranged weapon instead. Range of the Gar is
6 and reduces the enemies Defence bonus by +1; once thrown, the Saxon unit can no
longer use a spear and so automatically revert to using their Saxon/Late Saxon Sword
instead.

Spear Masters
Every Saxon unit only require one hand to wield a spear, leaving their other hand free to
wield a shield.

Battle Axe
When an enemy unit charges a unit wielding this weapon, they receive no charging bonus.
Also, enemy units never receive a defence modifier from their shields when hit by this
weapon.
A unit wielding a Battle-Axe cannot carry a shield or any other type of weapon.
