There are two teams of players - North and South
Ideally 6 players are required
Each player controls a battle group
The game finishes when one side has over half of its battle groups broken
Victory Points
- 1 per enemy battle group broken
- 1 per 2 Stargate codes collected
- 1 per table controlled ie no unbroken enemy battle groups on table
- For every 2 players there is 1 table
- Each table plays at it's own speed
- Each table has 2 stargates - each located 18" in from the short end of the table and two buildings in the centre of the table there are also 6 "Chance cards" on each table – these can be good or bad
- Stargates allow transportation to other tables by moving units through the gate - the transport codes are not known - they can be obtained from the buildings in the centre of the table - each building contains the code to two Stargates on other tables
- Not knowing the codes does not stop players using the gates - it just means they will be randomly relocated
- Stargates are referenced by Table and Location ie Stargate 2N is the northern gate on table 2
| 3 Tables | Code To Stargates | 4 Tables | Code To Stargates | |
| Table 1 | Table 2N & 3S | Table 1 | Table 2N & 3S | |
| Table 2 | Table 1N & 3N | Table 2 | Table 3N & 4S | |
| Table 3 | Table 1S & 2S | Table 3 | Table 4N & 1S | |
| Table 4 | Table 1N & 2S |
Forces
- Each player has either 1500 pt Advanced, 1650 pts contemporary or 1800 pts Primitive forces
- The following are not allowed: massives, orbital strikes, off-table artillery or airstrikes or ambushes
- Reserves can not be sent through the Stargate - they must be deployed on table in order to use a Stargate
- Gunships are allowed but they must be pre-allocated to a table and can never leave it
- Command units can be pimped by 1 CV
- Initial Deployment is Static along the short edge of the table
- North team deploy on the northern edge and South team deploy on the southern edge
- Upto 2 Battlegroups can be deployed on a single table
- A command unit must start on the Stargate. In the initiative phase, the codes (or a random number) are generated and the Stargate activates. The command unit is then moved to the exit portal on another table. This is the last action in the Initiative phase.
- Units that wish to use the Stargate must be within 10cm of the gate and unsupressed
- The commander can then make a Teleport Deployment order back through to the entry point and if successful this counts as a normal Teleport Deployment from the exit Stargate. Continue with normal orders until CV fails. Recce may move independently as normal.
- A Stargate can only be used by one Command unit per turn
- Teleport Blunders are per the book except that a score of 5 or 6 relocates the force to a random Stargate
- A Stargate closes immediately after the Teleport Deployment
- Each table has 6 Chance cards placed randomly
- When a Unit moves over a Chance Card roll a D6
| Roll | Event |
| 1 | Bugs The searching unit is ambushed by 3+d6 Bugs - no defensive fire is allowed |
| 2 | Booby Trap The searching unit suffers D6 Attacks - treat unit as in the open - this overrides any special defensive capabilities ie recce |
| 3 | Horrors Whatever was there freaked out the searching unit - roll a D3 and a direction dice. The unit recoils in the given direction for that many full moves immediately and is suppressed |
| 4 | Satellite Station The nearest command unit gets a D3 CV Bonus for the next turn |
| 5 | Tech Heads or Warriors A colony of Tech Heads or Warriors live here. Roll D6 - on anything but a 1 a destroyed unit is brought back to life next to the nearest command unit. If you do not have a destroyed unit then nothing happens |
| 6 | Stargate Iris Code This code allows a command unit to activate the Iris on one of the 2 Stargates on this table. Roll randomly to decide. Activating the Iris stops travel through the gate. To activate or deactive the Iris a command unit must be adjacent to the gate in the initiative phase |
