Ultimate Campaign Mass Combat


Rules Questions


So I was looking in U Camp and I can not find the range of range attacks. So did some more research and looked at Ultimate Battle and War. I did not find anything there as well or maybe I missed something. Can someone help me out to understand how the distance in mass combat works and what the ranges are? Is it if you can see it you can hit it or what?


If I recall correctly from my one experience with this system, ranged attackers don't get any bonus range; instead, they get an opening volley prior to the exchanging of blows.

As Arachnofiend said.

Combat Phases
2. Ranged Phase: Any army with the ability to make ranged attacks may make one attack against an enemy army. This phase typically lasts for 1 round (one attack) as the two armies use ranged attacks while they advance to melee range, and then use melee attacks thereafter. The battlefield's shape and other conditions can extend this duration. If both armies have ranged attacks, they may choose to stay at range and never approach each other for melee (at least until they run out of ammunition, though the Consumption cost of maintaining an army generally means the army is capable of many shots before this happens). Armies without ranged capability can't attack during this phase, but may still rush forward.

Distances and Ranges would be mostly flavor text. Unless you have one army with longbows and one with spears, the GM might want to not have simultaneous exchanges.
