Appendix A — Core Statistics Reference
Section 596 of 608
Every unit card uses the stat line M · BS · D · SH · AC · HP · LD · CR · T.
The Rule
All unit cards use the following stat order: M (Movement), BS (Ballistic Skill), D (Dodge), SH (Shields), AC (Armor Class), HP (Hull Points), LD (Leadership), CR (Crew), T (Tonnage). A characteristic shown as — indicates the unit does not possess that characteristic.
Explanation
Stat limits: Movement max 12/12, min 3. Ballistic Skill best 3+, worst 10+. Dodge best 3+, worst —. Shields max 20, min —. Armor Class best 3+, worst —. Hull Points min 1. Leadership is Target/Dice, best 3/10, worst 10/1. Crew is Target/Dice, best 3/10, worst 10/1.
Example
LD 5/4 means roll 4 dice; each die equal to or greater than 5 is a success.
Designer Commentary
Target/Dice characteristics let two ships share a profile shape while feeling completely different at the table.
