Scalable City Walls

• Foot units (except war machine) and Leaders: To move onto a scalable city wall hex, a foot unit or leader must start its move from a hex adjacent to the scalable city wall hex. A foot unit or leader that enters a scalable city wall hex must stop and may move no further on that turn. A foot unit or leader that moves off a scalable city wall hex may only move onto an adjacent hex and may move no further on that turn. Retreating or Evading Foot units or leaders do not have to stop when entering a scalable city wall hex.
• Mounted units and war machines: A scalable city wall hex is impassable terrain for a mounted unit or war machine. Both may Close Combat adjacent units on scalable city wall hexes if they begin their turn adjacent to the scalable city wall hex.
• Neither type of unit may retreat or evade onto a scalable city wall hex.

When battling an enemy unit on a scalable city wall hex or a unit on a scalable city wall hex battling out, the unit rolls a maximum of 2 battle dice in Close Combat. Any unit defending on a scalable city wall hex disregards one sword symbol and may disregard one flag rolled against it when attacked from any adjacent hex.

• A defending unit on a scalable city wall hex that cannot evade, or elects not to evade, will battle first (treat the defending unit as if it possesses a First Strike card, and treat the combat as a First Strike combat) when being attacked in Close Combat unless the attacking enemy unit is also on an adjacent scalable city wall hex.
