Dragon Pass – Random Events from La Guerre des Héroes (1993)

The French version of the Dragon Pass boardgame, La Guerre des Héroes (1993) , includes French versions of the many tables published with the original game. However, the English translation does not provide the original tables. So that those who have purchased the French version may actually play the game, we include those tables here.

    11The initiative shifts. The players reverse the order in which they take their player turns.
    12The Dragonnewts offer to ally. Both players secretly write down the number of DPs they are willing to give to ally the Dragonnewts. Neither player can offer more DPs than he is scheduled to receive before the end of the game. Whichever player has offered more DPs to the Dragonnewts immediately obtains an alliance with them. The player who gains the alliance must give every DP he receives in the following game-turns to the Dragonnewts until he has given them all the DPs he offered them.  Any DPs previously assigned to the Dragonnewts do not count towards this DP debt. If the players offer the same number of DPs, the alliance is not granted to either of them, and neither owes a DP debt.
    13Androgeus allies. Androgeus grants an alliance with the side that has offered the most DPs so far. Both players must reveal how many DPs they have assigned to Androgeus. Androgeus enters the board in accordance with the rules in 16.1. If both sides should have offered Androgeus an equal amount, no alliance is granted.
    14-16Rain. The weather is rain for the rest of the current game-turn. 
    21-26A giant appears. A giant is placed in the hex on the eastern mapboard edge that contains the giant symbol.
    31The glowline fails. One of the temples of the Reaching Moon connecting to the Temple in Dragon Pass fails to properly transmit the Moon’s power. The glowline does not exist for the duration of the current game-turn.
    32Revolt in the Redlands. The Lunar player must remove three Lunar units from the board. The units must have clear path to the northern or western mapboard edge. A path is clear if it is not blocked by enemy units or by ZOCs of stacks that could impede the movement of the units being withdrawn. If there not three such units to be withdrawn, no units are withdrawn.
    33Unrest in the provinces. The Lunar player must remove two Lunar units from the board. The units must have clear path to the northern or eastern mapboard edge. If there not two such units to be withdrawn, no units are withdrawn.
    34The South Soldiers arrive. The Sartar player can replace any two infantry or cavalry units he has lost so far. Individuals, spirits and magicians cannot be replaced. The replacements enter the map on the southern mapboard edge east of the Stone Cross hex (inclusive).
    35Plague in the Empire. For each Lunar fortress, the Lunar player roll on die. If the die roll is one, that fortress is struck by the plague. For each unit other than a treasure, a dragon, a superhero or a disembodied spirit that is hit by the plague, the Lunar player rolls one die. On a die roll of five or six, the unit is unaffected. On a roll of three or four, the unit becomes disrupted. On a roll of one or two, the unit is eliminated.
    36Imperial attention diverted. The Red Emperor is removed from the board.  If the emperor is not on the board nothing happens. The Lunar player rolls one die to determine the number of turns the Red Emperor will remain off the board.  At the end of the required number of turns, the Emperor arrives as a reinforcement on a mapboard edge hex within the Lunar Empire. 
    41The Barbarian Horde strikes.  The members of the Barbarian Horde decide they deserve a large share of the booty.  The Sartar player cannot move any units of the Barbarian Horde in his movement phase. 
    42The Twin Stars appear. The Twin Stars are spirits who originally lived in the Lunar Empire, but who moved to Prax. They now sometimes come to the aid of the Empire in times of trouble. The Twin Stars are immediately placed in the Temple of the Reaching Moon if it is not occupied by units controlled by the Sartar player.
    43Problems in Prax. The Sartar player must withdraw two Sartar units from the board. The units must have clear path to the eastern mapboard edge  If there not two such units to be withdrawn, no units are withdrawn. 
    44Provincial reserves arrive.  The Lunar player can replace any two infantry or cavalry units he has lost so far. Individuals, spirits and magicians cannot be replaced. The replacements arrive on the northern mapboard edge within the Lunar Empire.
    45-46Plague in the Sartar. For each Sartar fortress, the Sartar player roll on die.  If the die roll is one, that fortress is struck by the plague. For each unit other than a treasure, a dragon, a superhero or a disembodied spirit that is hit by the plague, the Sartar player rolls one die. On a die roll of five or six, the unit is unaffected. On a roll of three or four, the unit becomes disrupted. On a roll of one or two, the unit is eliminated.

    Attack Table

    If the MgF or CF total has a fraction, drop the fraction.

    If the die roll is less than one, treat as one. If the die roll is greater than six, treat it as six.

    If the MgF or CF is not a listed value, find the loss figure by multiplying the total (after dropping any fractions) by the combat multiplier. Determine the combat multiplier from the die roll as follows:

    die-roll – combat multiplier 

    1 – 1/64 – 1/2
    2 – 1/45 – 3/4
    3 – 1/36 – 1
