Thunderbolt's Last Stand (Attack of the Galatians!)

Lion Rampant activation rolls are kept, but if the first unit chosen in a turn fails its roll the player may roll once more for one other unit before the turn passes. On their first turn all Galatian units get +1 to activation rolls, not only those within 12" of the general.

If the first unit chosen in a turn fails its activation roll, the player can then roll once more for one other unit; then his turn is done.

Keraunos may be attached to the elephant model; he is vulnerable as usual, and if he is eliminated the elephant takes a wound. Neither general can issue a personal challenge while Keraunos rides the elephant.

Neither general can issue a challenge if Keraunos is riding an elephant.

Drilled units must form in two or three ranks with models touching and gain +1 Armour against attacks and missiles to the front even after moving, losing it at half strength, when Battered or in rough terrain. Massed cavalry units have ten models and roll twelve attack dice, dropping to six at five or fewer models. Other keywords (Evade, Ferocious, Wild charge, Counter-charge, Fleet-footed) follow Lion Rampant.

When fighting or defending against missiles to the front they gain +1 to their Armour value even if they have moved.

Cards give Attack, Attack Value, Move, Defence Value, Shoot, Shoot Value, Courage, Max Movement and Armour plus special rule keywords and models per unit, e.g. Macedonian phalanx: 6+/5+/5+/4+/-/-/4+/5"/3, Phalanx; Pikes; Drilled, 12 models, 4 points.

AT: Attack, AV: Attack Value, M: Move, DV: Defence Value, S: Shoot, SV: Shoot Value, C: Courage, MM: Max Movement, A: Armour.

Macedonian infantry and elephant set up in a 6" x 12" box facing entry zone B, with the cavalry touching it; the usual 3" gap between friendly units is reduced to 1". The Galatians then enter with a free move needing no activation, at least one unit from each of zones A, B and C, none held off-table, and take the first turn.

Phalanx units may move their full distance straight ahead or deviating up to 45 degrees left or right; any other turn or direction limits them to 3". Drilled units can only see to attack within 45 degrees of their front facing.

If they move straight ahead or only deviate to the right or left by 45 degrees, they may move fully. If they turn or move in other directions, they move a maximum of 3".
