About The Game
Here you can find out all about how to play Armoured Clash and what additional items are essential for your games.
How To Play
Prepare to Play
Both Generals establish the parameters for their game of Armoured Clash, assemble their Forces, agree on which Clash they are going to play and prepare the Battlefield.
Deployment
Both Generals draw and reveal the Command and Conquest Card from the top of their decks. The General with the highest card value decides whether they will be General A or B. Beginning with General A, the two generals take turns selecting one of their units and deploying it either on the Battlefield or in Reserve.
Determine Initiative
The General that had Initiative last Round selects a Command and Conquest Card from their hand and places it face down. The opposing General does the same. Both cards are then simultaneously revealed. The General with the highest Card Value gains the Initiative for this Round.
Draw Cards
Both Generals may choose to discard any Command and Conquest Cards from their hand and then draw new Command and Conquest Cards, up to the Clash’s hand limit.
Deploy Reserves
Beginning with the General that has the Initiative, both Generals take turns choosing whether to deploy any units from reserve.
The Activation Phase
Beginning with The General that has the Initiative, both Generals take turns secting one of their Ready units and Activating it until all units on the Battlefield have been Activated.
The End Phase
All units on the Battlefield lose the Activated status, any Victory Points from the Objectives section of the Clash are gained and any other rules that apply to the End Phase are resolved.
Repeat!
Repeat Steps 3 to 7 for each Round until the Clash’s Round Limit has been reached. Then determine who is the victor!
What You Need To Play
Models
You will need a Force to engage the enemy with. The best place to start is the Battle For Singapore Two Player Introductory Set or a Faction Battlegroup for your chosen Faction. You can expand your Force by purchasing additional products.
The Rules
You will need a copy of the Armoured Clash Rules in order to play. This book contains the game’s core rules and is laid out in a clear manner, with an intuitive reference system and a comprehensive index to aid rules navigation.
The Faction ORBAT
Each Faction has an Order of Battle (ORBAT), a downloadable compendium that contains all the relevant information needed to field your Force on the battlefield. ORBATs are ‘living documents’ that are updated regularly and can be found on the Armoured Clash website.

Each General needs a full deck of sixty Command & Conquest Cards. Each Faction Battlegroup Set comes with a set of Command & Conquest Cards. Decks of Command & Conquest Cards can also be purchased separately.
