It is a troubled time for the galaxy. The forces of dark
and light battle against each other in constant conflict.
In this strife arisemoments of great importance,
known as Shatterpoints, where the actions of a few can
change the fate of the entire galaxy. These key battles do
not take place between great armies but between small
teams of the galaxy's greatest heroes and villains.

It is here, amid the clash of lightsabers and blasts of laser

fire that you will take command. Gather your squads,
prepare for battle, and remember that the greatest
generals are those who can adapt and seize the moment
when not only victory, but the choice that will determine a
character's fate, presents itself on the battlefield....

Snip'ets
Learning all the intricacies of a new game can seem intimidating at first, and many players will have rules questions
during their first few games. Snip'ets call out key rules and interactions to make answers to common questions easy
to find and to keep the struggle on the table instead of in navigating the rules.

The battlefield is created after the mission is chosen and Objective

tokens are placed. If there are terrain features overlapping where
an Objective token is placed, move the Objective token to the
highest Elevation where it is completely overlapping the terrain
part it is in contact with. If this is not possible, the terrain feature
cannot be placed there.

After setting up the mission, the players then place terrain features on the battlefield. When this gantry is placed to connect the two
buildings, it overlaps one of the Objective tokens. After the terrain part is placed, the Objective token is moved on top of the gantry.

Controlling Objectives
Struggles require characters to control objectives by contesting
them. A character is contesting an Active objective if they are
within Range (G) 2 of the Objective token and their Unit is not
Wounded (For more information on being Wounded, see
page 34). Sometimes, an Active objective is marked with a
Priority Objective token. Refer to the Mission Set’s special rules to
determine the effects of the Priority Objective token.

an objective, they place a Control token on it to show it is being

they retain control of it until it is taken from
them by an opponent or the Struggle ends.

Multiple Character Units

Some Units are made up of more than one character. When a
Multiple Character Unit makes an action all characters that are part
of the Unit may make the same action, in an order determined
by their controlling player. Each character must fully resolve the
action before the next character in the Unit resolves the same
action. An action is resolved once all characters in a Unit have
made that action.

When a Multiple Character Unit makes an action,

all characters in that Unit are considered to have
made that action, even if the player chooses not
to resolve it with every character in the Unit.

If a character’s miniature can’t physically

fit underneath, balance on top of, or fit
inside a terrain feature, the character cannot
end a movement there. A character cannot
end a movement partially overlapping a
terrain part or the battlefield at a different
Elevation than they are.

When an object begins a move, determine

its Elevation at the start of the move. It is
considered to be at that Elevation until the end
of that movement.

25
 Overlapping
“Overlapping” is when two objects or terrain features
take up all or some of the same space. If an effect
would cause two or more characters’ bases to overlap
at the same Elevation, the moving character can’t end a
movement there. Terrain features may overlap each other.

Characters at different Elevations are never

considered to be overlapping.

attack General Anakin Skywalker. After measuring his
move, his base is hanging over the edge of the gantry.
Because his base is not completely overlapping the terrain
feature, Gar Saxon, Merciless Commander cannot end his
movement in that position.

An object can never move off the battlefield. If a Push would

cause an object to move off the battlefield, the object stops that
movement at the last place it could while following the movement
rules.

When a character advances (X), climbs (U), dashes (H), or

jumps (T), they use either the Advance tool or the Dash tool,
according to the type of movement being used. Push, Pull, and
Place movements use the range tools.

Attack Range
There are two types of attacks in Shatterpoint: Melee (O) and

characters they are Engaged with (See page 29). Characters may
only make Ranged (n) attacks against characters within the
Range (G) displayed in its Ranged (n) Attack stat.

Ranged Attacks
In order to make a Ranged (n) attack, there must be an enemy
character within the character’s Ranged (n) Attack stat’s listed
Range (G) and in Line of Sight (for more information about Line

TERRAIN
The battlefield that Shatterpoint is played on is made up of terrain
features and terrain parts. Below, you will find the rules on how
to address common terrain features and terrain parts, as well as
some guidelines for how to assess terrain features.

Parts of terrain features are defined by three qualities: Elevation,

Clear or Blocked, and Passable or Impassable. A single terrain
feature may contain multiple parts that have different qualities
than one another. Terrain features are as complex as the players’
imaginations and may require some specific assessments as to
which parts of a terrain feature have which qualities.
35
 Elevation Relativity
Objects are at the same Elevation if the vertical distance between
them is less than Range (G) 2. Objects that have more than
Range (G) 2 in vertical distance between them are at different
Elevations. When measuring this distance, measure from the
location of the object at the height of the overlapped terrain
part it is on top of or from the battlefield itself if the object is not
overlapping a terrain part – the height of the object is not taken
into account.

When determining Elevation, there is no difference

not block Line of Sight. A gantry with a Passable area underneath
would be a Clear part – characters can draw LOS and attack
underneath the gantry without issue. A Blocked part – like a solid
building or wall – would block characters from drawing Line of
Sight and impede their ability to attack.

Remember that each terrain feature may be

made up of multiple terrain parts at different
Elevations – A two story building with a balcony
halfway up is an excellent example.

36
 LINE OF SIGHT
A character has Line of Sight (LOS) to an object if a straight,
unobstructed line can be drawn from any part of that character’s
base to the object. The line can pass unobstructed through
characters, any Clear terrain parts, any Blocked terrain parts that
the character is overlapping, and any Blocked terrain parts with
the same or lower Elevation than that character. The line cannot
pass through Blocked terrain features with a higher Elevation than
the character. If the object is on top of a terrain part, the line can
pass unobstructed through all terrain parts with the same or lower
Elevation as the object.

HUNKER TOKENS & COVER

A character benefitting from Cover adds a number of Defense Dice
equal to their Cover value to their defense roll when defending
against a Ranged (N) attack.
When drawing Line of Sight, characters may always ignore
Clear terrain parts regardless of the part’s Elevation. For a character to gain Cover from a terrain feature, they must
meet all of the following requirements:
Ingress Points

A Unit loses all its Hunker (3) tokens at the start of its activation
or when a character in that Unit becomes Engaged. A Unit that is
Engaged cannot gain or have Hunker (3) tokens.
