HeroScape is cool, so I'm just gonna drop this right here in case I want to use it later:

1.  [u][b]Character Cards[/b][/u]
Everyone fills out a character card.  Characters are classified as Heroes or Squads, but we will use Heroes for the duration of this example.  Heroes are powerful individuals with powerful skills and abilities.
[b]Name:[/b]  Your character's name.
[b]Health:[/b]  The number of wounds a character can take before being incapacitated.
[b]Strength:[/b]  This value gets added to your Total Attack Value when you attack someone in melee.
[b]Precision:[/b]  This value gets added to your Total Attack Value when you attack someone with a ranged weapon.
[b]Magic:[/b]  This value gets added to your Total Attack Value when you attack someone with magical powers.
[b]Defense[/b]:  This value is added to your Total Defense Value when you are defending against an attack.

2.  [u][b]Skills/Abilities[/b][/u]
Each character has skills and abilities to help them attack, defend, move, buff allies, and hinder opponents.
[b]Flying[/b] - Characters can fly do not suffer from movement penalties when crossing water or climbing terrain.  They can also pass over other characters without becoming engaged.
[b]Disengage[/b] - This ability allows a character to move away from opponents without taking a disengagement penalty.
[b]Special Attacks[/b] - A Special Attack ignores the common attributes on a character card and instead give you substitutes.  For example, a Shaolin Monk may have an ability that gives him +3 Attack whereas he might normally have +2.  Special Attacks usually prevent you from moving and making normal attacks during your turn, and are considered to be signature moves.
[b]Enhanced Normal Attacks[/b] - Some skills and abilities let you make normal attacks, with an added bonus.  For example, you might be able to make two, three, or even four normal attacks in a single turn.  Normal attacks use your base stats.
[b]Bonding[/b] - Bonding lets you move/use other characters in combination with this character.  So a Samurai Lord might bond with Samurai Retainers, and so he can move/attack with the Retainers and then move/attack with his Lord. It effectively lets you make two moves in a single turn.
[b]Others[/b] - There are many types of special skills and abilities available to characters.  Research would need to be done for you to fully understand them.

3.  [u][b]Gameplay[/b][/u]
On your turn, you may move your character up to 4 spaces (certain skills might change this).  If an opponent is within your line of sight and within range, you may attack them.  Roll die; add your respective values; compare.
