Hit points / strength points

Morale chart by cumulative hits: A for 1-4, B 5-8, C 9-10 (or attempting to rally), D 11-12, E 13+ (or in melee vs a unit on Chart A). Units over 40 figures add 3 to cumulative hits thresholds. Units are removed if they fail to rally from rout, rout while shaken, or are reduced to 1 infantry or 2 cavalry stands.

Large units > 40 figures add 3 to cumulative hits in charts below

One Point is 5 men of three-rank infantry, 3 Points = 10 men in two ranks, 2 Points = 3 skirmishers or 3 cavalrymen, 12 Points = 1 gun. Pegs on the loss tables for each arm advance until a threshold: 15 for closed infantry (a skirmisher strip), 60 for skirmishers, 60 for cavalry (a squadron), 25 for artillery (2 guns). Losses go to front-line troops actually engaged, never to reserves.

Each hit removes 1 SP. Stands pushed into negative SP are removed, and stands that began the turn at zero are removed if contacted by enemy in D or A orders. Removed bases straggle back through friendly lines.

Stands which started the turn with zero SPs are removed if contacted by enemy in 'D' or 'A' Stands which are forced by combat results into negative strengths are also removed.

Number cards 4-10 cause hull damage equal to their value, tracked with HULL markers; hulls are e.g. Bismarck 30, Hood 25, Prinz Eugen 18. Hull damage cannot be repaired and every 7 points worsens speed by 1.

Hull: The number of accumulated hull damage points caused by damage that a ship can take before it sinks.

Duel battleships have a life of 200 points. In the fleet game a battleship has 1,000 points, an armored cruiser 500 and a protected cruiser 170; damage is recorded on a score card at 10 points per tenth of an inch, and destroyed ships are crossed out and removed at the end of the move after fire is recorded. Broadside and end-on targets are equally vulnerable.

A battle ship is considered to have a fighting endurance of 1,000 points, an armored cruiser 500 points, and a protected cruiser 170 points.

Each uncancelled success places a Wear marker. A unit with Wear equal to its Stamina is Weary (Combat and Fire Decreased). Wear beyond Stamina triggers a Break Check; survivors discard the excess back down to Stamina.

Each success at shooting that has not been cancelled by a Resist Damage roll counts as a Wear point.

Hits are tracked with markers. Infantry are 18/20 (Shaken/Break), cavalry 14/16, artillery 12/14 in the core rules; v4.4 uses worn/shaken/broken values by unit size (e.g. standard infantry 8/16/24). Reaching the Break value removes the unit; Rally removes 1D3 hits (D3+2 in v4.4).

If at any time the number of hits on a unit is equal to or greater than the Break value of the unit, the unit is immediately Broken and removed from the game.

The elephant can take six wounds before it is felled; once reduced to three wounds it rolls only six dice in combat. If the general riding it is eliminated, the elephant suffers a wound.

The elephant can take six wounds before it is felled. When reduced to three wounds it only rolls six dice in combat.

When damaged, roll once immediately: on 4+ the damage is repaired and ignored, otherwise remove a Hull token. Losing the third Hull token sinks the boat and ends the game.

To Repair the damage, roll a die: On a 4+, your crew has repaired the damage and it is ignored. Otherwise, the crew fails to repair it and you must remove a Hull Token
