~The Whitechapel Gun Club House Rules

VimEach figure is blessed with an amount of ‘vim’ (spirit, energy) each turn.

1 vim = 1 action: walk; run; fire a shot; fight hand-to-hand; issue an order; recover; cross an obstacle; use a special ability needing vim. A figure may use any combination of any actions in any sequence.

MovingEach figure walks or runs the distance shown on its card - expending 1 vim.

A figure that runs twice in succession must use 1 vim to recover as his next available action.

Obstacles: Move up to it. Stop. It takes a separate action to cross it.

ShootingEach figure can fire the distance shown on its card according to weapon

Subject to the range, throw the required number on a D6 to hit.Target in hard cover? Deduct 1.

One hit = one wound (see ‘fortitude’ below).

Hand-to-hand

Each figure can fight hand to hand using skill + luck (1D6) shown on its card.

One-on-one combats only. Highest wins. Loser suffers a wound.

Deduct 1 against a second concurrent opponent, 2 against a third, and so on.

FortitudeEach figure is blessed with fortitude (resilience) as shown on its card.

There are 4 levels of wound (depending on fortitude). No remaining fortitude = death.

A figure sustaining any wound must recover as its next available action.

Status Each figure is either a leader, a follower or a henchman.

Leaders can issue orders. Followers can issue and follow.Henchmen can only follow orders.

Orders audible up to 24” Orders remain in force until a new order is issued.

eDraw one playing card per group of figures to determine initiative. Aces High, naturally
