COMBINED ARMS 2210 AD

Combined Arms is a military maxim in which the various branches of arms work cooperatively to be greater than the sum of the parts.

In the 20th century this was taken to mean infantry, artillery, armor, and airpower. In 2210, Combined Arms is achieved when multiple commanders participate in the same battle, using techniques and MODs specialized to a particular mode of warfare. Working together, the commanders can create a combat power out of proportion to their numbers.

RULES:

• Attack: Combined Arms is achieved when any 3 commanders are present in the territory which the attack comes from.
  Effect: Add 1 to the highest die roll (examples: 5-5-2 becomes 6-5-2 and 8-4-1 becomes 9-4-1).
• Defence: Combined Arms is achieved while defending when any TWO commanders are present in the defending territory.
  Effect: Add 1 to the lowest die roll (examples: 6-1 becomes 6-2; 6-6 become 7-6).

Notes:

• It is possible for both the attacker and defender to benefit from the Combined Arms combat bonuses at the same time.
• The type of territory being attacked or defended is irrelevant.
  
• This benefit is in addition to the use of 8-sided die already afforded by the presence of commanders or a space station by the attacker or defender.
