The Activate tab

Use the Activate tab when:

• At the start of the game, you add your squads by name.
• Each time a squad acts, you tick it off.
• A squad gets pinned or loses models, and you want to keep count.
• Everyone has acted, and you end the turn.

Doing it by hand works, but the app makes it easier:

• No more tokens next to each model that get knocked over.
• A bar shows how many squads are done, like “2 of 5”.
• Pins, losses, Guts, Luck and Rift live on one card for each squad.
• Vehicle damage sits right on the vehicle's card.
• End turn clears every tick in one tap.

Try it: you have three squads: Alpha, Bravo and a Walker.

1. Open the Activate tab. Scroll down to the box that says “Squad 1”.
2. Type Alpha and tap Add. Do the same for Bravo and the Walker.
3. Alpha acts first. Tap Alpha's card. A green check shows up, and the top says “1 of 3”.
4. Bravo gets shot at and takes a pin. Tap the + next to PINS on Bravo's card.
5. When the last squad acts, the app asks “End turn 1?”. Tap End turn. Every check clears, and the turn becomes 2.

The numbers on the pictures match the list under each picture. Gold boxes show where each thing is.

Edit mode extras

In Edit list, each card gets colors, a short tag (up to 6 letters, like HQ), the type (Squad or Vehicle), ↑ and ↓ to move it, and Remove.

• In most skirmish games each squad acts once per turn. Ticking them off stops a squad from acting twice, or being forgotten.
• Pins can make a squad worse at fighting. Tracking them keeps the rules fair.
• Losses on the card also show up on the Losses tab, so the score is the same in both places.

Squad

One group of models on the table. Each squad gets its own card.

Activated

This squad has acted this turn. It shows a green check.

Turn

One round where every squad gets a chance to act.

Pins

Tag

A short label of up to 6 letters, like HQ or A1.

Vehicle

Two kinds of vehicle damage. + Sup adds light damage. + Full adds heavy damage.

Immobilized / Knocked out

Switches for a vehicle that can't move, or is out of the fight.

Guts, Luck, Rift

Three point counters on each squad card. Use them the way your rules say.

• Tap a card again to take the check mark away.
• On a vehicle, Undo takes back the last damage mark.
• Remove asks first. Removing a squad can't be undone.
• Everything here is saved on your phone, even if you close the app.
• Don't want the End turn question? Turn off Prompt to end turn in Settings.
• Unit card size in Settings makes the cards Compact, Normal or Large.
