Peace for Galilee: The Game Rules

In 2009 Crawley Wargames club presented an Arab-Israeli participation skirmish game. This proved extremely popular and was great fun to run. Luke deserves full credit for this, he came up with the ideas, provided the figures and buildings and wrote the rules based on Fantasy Flight games DOOM board game. After much prompting I have finally got around to organising the rules. Over the next few weeks I will gradually update this till they are all here in a clear manner.

Our game was run using 25mm figures from Mongrel miniatures re-based on to 25mm round resin bases. Although we had a lot of figures each game only used 8, 4 for each side, 1 per player The extra figures allowed us to swap the teams about a bit each game. The terrain was 5 foot square of custom built urban terrain, with plenty of buildings, blocked fire paths and lost of scatter to make it as interesting as possible. Also needed will be some sets of cards (initiative cards, numbered 1-10 for each side, and a set of chance cards, I forget how many, split between yes and no, with a few heroic success and the same number of totally failure), measuring sticks (for 25mm and a 5 foot table we used increments of 2", but rather than everyone have to work this out all the time we painted some rods in 2" increments for measuring and so every player had one), a character sheet and counters for them (more on this later) for each player.

Most important though are the dice. Based on the doom dice we created out own sets with plain dice and stuck labels on them. Each player needs 6 dice, 1 red, 1 yellow, 2 blue and 2 green. A random direction dice is also need, but one for the whole game is sufficient

The Dice
On each face of the dice is a numeric score and a number of heart and bullet icons
Red dice: X / 0 + 4 hearts + bullet / 1 + 3 hearts/ 1 + 3 hearts + bullet / 2 + 2 hearts / 3 + 1 heart
Yellow dice: X / 1 + 3 hearts / 2 + 2 hearts/ 2 + 1 heart / 3 + 1 heart + bullet / 4 + bullet
Blue dice: 0 + 2 hearts / 0 + 2 hearts / 0 + 3 hearts / 0 + 3 hearts / 1 + 1 heart / 1 + 2 hearts
Green dice: 1 + 1 heart / 2  / 2  / 2 + 1 heart / 3  / 3
