The Wolfling Project

**DRAFT** (problems listed at the end)

A skirmish force contains two parts: Core and Reserves. The Core forces are your primary characters, which are eligible to advance if the game is played as a campaign.

Reserves are used in larger games (up to 300 points) and can be modified as needed throughout a campaign. They are not able to advance while they are part of the reserves.

Core force rules:

• A hard limit 160 points, including all wargear and upgrades.
• A minimum of four models, and a maximum of twelve models.
• One character must be a clearly designated leader (a sergeant, exarch, or HQ choice.
• No named characters may be taken, and may not be taken under the "counts as" rules.
• No model may have a base cost of more than 80 points.
• No model may have more than two wounds.
• No vehicles, including dedicated transports.
• Each figure may have no more than +25 points in additional upgrades.

Reserve force rules:
Use of reserve forces is according to the scenario. Some may not allow reserves or specify additional rules for their deployment.

• Hard limit of 140 points including all wargear and upgrades.
• If vehicles are allowed, the total cost including upgrades may be no more than 50 points per vehicle.

Examples of core forces:

• Farseer with Doom and five Dire Avengers
• Five Space Marine Devastators, one with a heavy bolter, and a Sergeant with a power fist

Current problems:

Some way to balance squad size and special weapons. For example, a normal marine tac squad gets two free weapons if the squad has ten members, which is too large for the core points limit. Maybe a straight points list for extra weapons, which would allow a Marine Kill Team to carry a flamer or meltagun.
