Overview
The game plays over a series of turns, until an HQ is captured by a Troop, a player gains a majority of Medals through region control, or a player cannot perform any more actions.
Each player has 24 troops--8 types with 3 of each.

Your Turn
You can either:
Draw 2 Troops from your reserve and place them on your rack. Your rack can hold up to 8 Troops maximum
or
Play 1 troop from your rack onto a space on the battlefield. You can place it anywhere that fulfills the following conditions:
- An empty base that is connected to your HQ (this means you must always follow a continuous path from your HQ (starting point) to the troop you are placing, passing only through bases you occupy)
- A base occupied by any of your troops
- A base occupied by an enemy troop with a lower strength than yours
- Your opponent's HQ. (You cannot place a troop on your own HQ)
Each troop has an effect that triggers after placement.
If the troop was placed on a special base with an effect that triggers after the troop's effect triggers.
If you control a region by occupying all the bases surrounding it, the player claims the medal(s) in that area.
