Spotting

Designer Notes: Currently in Sangin, keeping track of who has spotted who is an incredibly awkward process, relying on either a lattice or frantically remembering. This is one element that slows down play and reduces the ability to play with larger forces. The idea with this spotting is to further the idea introduced with tempo that your force is working together - therefore, spotting becomes a meter on a character sheet showing how aware the opposing force is of them, with that awareness level affecting how you spot a figure. This also allows for stealthy gameplay and covert actions to be implemented while on the other angle allows to account for UAVs covering the area.

• Each character has (similar to Suppression and Tempo) a meter on the side of each character - this meter represents how aware the opposing force is of this character
• Every time someone manages to pass a spot check on the character, their meter is increased
  
• The meter is decreased by 1 when a figure activates out of the LOS of any enemy figure

	Spotted Level	Description	Effect on Enemy Figures
	Covert	Character is acting covertly, with equipment hidden to blend in with the environment (Characters can begin in this state but can not drift back into this state without performing specific actions)	Spotting this character costs 2AP, -75% modifier
	Hidden	Character is actively hiding (Characters can begin in this state but can not drift back into this state without performing specific actions)	Spotting this character  costs 1AP, -75% modifier
0	Undetected	Character is unknown to the enemy force.	Spotting this character costs 1AP, no benefit
1	Contact	This character has been spotted at least once	Spotting this character costs 1AP, no benefits (Radio Equipped troops gain +10 to spot a target at this level)
2	Confirmed	The character has been spotted and confirmed to be hostile	First Spotting on this character in activation is free (Radio Equipped troops gain +10 to spot a target at this level)
3	Engaged	The character has been spotted and confirmed by multiple opponents, with information shared between the opposing force.	First Spotting on this character in activation is free, +40 spotting (Radio Equipped troops gain +10 to spot a target at this level)

Example:

Sgt A is an Albion soldier on patrol with his team. While moving through a village, they come under fire from an unknown enemy (Insurgent Z).

Insurgent Z begins in the Undetected state.

In his activation, Sgt A spends his three AP:
1. Spots the source of the incoming fire by passing a Spot check. This moves Insurgent Z into the Contact state

2. Shoots and aims but misses

Insurgent Z then activates. He is currently in LOS so no change in spot level. He is too busy shooting to move.

 In his next activation, Sgt A attempts to spot again. He succeeds, and this moves Insurgent Z's spotted state to Confirmed

Damage and Wounds

Designer Notes: Wound systems similar to an RPG require an additional level of bookkeeping and don't particularly match to the rapid pace of modern combat and the incredible lethality. The rules also add in a certain sense of the unknown when engaging targets, with the result of shooting not revealed until a figure is activated or a spot check is rolled.

After successfully hitting a target, rather than rolling for HP damage, apply a number of injury tokens equal to the damage of a weapon. Additional hits on the target from other attacks may add more injury tokens. The target is knocked down and takes suppression as normal.

When the character with injury tokens next activates, or if someone (friend or foe) attempts to assess them (by successfully rolling a spot check), perform an injury test.

First, check the effectiveness of body armour. For each injury token, roll a D10. For each dice that rolls equal to or under the armour value, remove an injury token.

Then, with the remaining injury tokens, roll a D10 and compare to the table below to see what injury state the character is now in. If the armour managed to remove all injury tokens, roll using the Plate Hit row

If a character is already injured, only the more dangerous injury counts - For example, if Sgt A is Heavily Wounded and is hit again causing a Light Wound, he remains heavily wounded. However, Sgt B is lightly wounded and suffers a Combat Ineffective injury, he becomes Combat Ineffective.

	Unharmed	Lightly Wounded	Heavily Wounded	Combat Ineffective	KIA
Description	Character is ready to fight and completely unharmed	Character has achieved minor injuries that will slow them down but they can still take part in fighting.	Character has achieved major wounds that severely impairs their ability to fight	Character has been severely injured and is unable to fight. They are either unconscious or busy attempting to treat their wounds.	Character has been killed in action.
Effect	No ill effects	Character can not go above 20% suppression	Character can not go above 60% suppression	- Does not activate - Does not fight in CQB - Can only move with assistance from another character	- Does not activate - Does not fight in CQB - Character's body can only be carried
Plate Hit	1-7	8-9	10
1 Injury Token	1-3	4-7	8	9	10
2 Injury Tokens	1-2	3-5	6-7	8-9	10
3 Injury Tokens	1	2-3	4-6	7-9	10
4 Injury Tokens	1	2	3-4	5-8	9-10
5+ Injury Tokens	1		2-4	5-7	8-10

General Tweaks

• "Gone Firm" is renamed "Gone To Ground".
  
• Tempo generation now occurs when a check is passed with a value between 01% and 09% (rather than 10% of the target value).
• While at close range (within 6"), "Gone To Ground" no longer provides a negative modifier to spotting.
• Modifiers for walking/standing for spotting and shooting are removed - it is now considered the "default" mode
• Stray Shots
  • • When a shot misses its intended target, draw a line from the shooter to the target. If there are any figures within 1" of this line, they are at risk of having taken the shot instead.
    • Starting with the closest character, (work out method to determine who gets hit - needs to be that lower experience, higher chance of hitting, inverse of suppression). If a character is hit, resolve the damage against them instead (no matter if they are friend or foe)
