A host that force marched to reach the battle must either bring one ward on late or take a morale-penalty verse on its Chronicle.
How it works
At the start of battle, the player who force marched into the battle space chooses one of two penalties. Either one ward starts off table and enters late, or the 'Time hath worn us into slovenry' verse is placed on his Chronicle. For the late ward, a card is drawn secretly: 1-4 delays entry 6 turns, 5-6 delays it 10 turns. The campaign-side force march itself is handled outside these battle rules.
The player who force marched to get to the space where the battle occurs must choose between a late entry for one ward, or the “Time hath worn us into slovenry” verse being placed on their Chronicle.
