Brush With Death

If cardholder’s CnC element is destroyed in either cardholder or opponent’s bound, CnC does not die, but transfers to nearest friendly element, regardless of type.

King

Loss of Nerve

One enemy element (other than CnC element) selected by card player temporarily “loses it nerve” and routs as an outcome move during the card player’s bound.

Queen

The Fickle Dice

Both sides reroll one combat dice roll and use new result.  Can be played in either bound, but must be played immediately after the die roll in question.

Charismatic Leader

CnC and all elements in same group enjoy +1 combat modifier this bound only.  May only be played if CnC is engaged in close combat.

7

Impetuous Advance
