Cybermen Rules v1

Creative Commons License
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License. General rules regarding Cybermen:-

  • In the rest of the rules the use of the Cybermen should include Cybermen carrying humans, Cyberlieutenants and Cyberleaders unless specifically mentioned elsewhere in the paragraph.
  • Cybermen have a facing, which is used to determine the direction of any gun or energy beam attacks they may make.
    • Wedding Guests (humans) do not have a facing.
  • After a Cyberman is moved, the moving player determines which of the four possible directions it faces.
  • Guns and Energy Beams are used to capture humans, not kill them. Cybermen are intent on converting humans, not killing them.
  • Only a partially converted Cyberman may ever destroy other Cybermen in combat. Cybermen may freely attack a partially converted Cyberman. If they win in combat, the loser is destroyed rather than captured.
  • Cyberlieutenants and the Cyberleader may never use items or tokens.

Capture

When a character is captured, place the character on the successful Cyberman counter.

  • If you have a Geek, Bride or Groom in your group, the Cyberman will choose them first. If not, then you choose one character to be captured.
    • This characterGÇÖs ability can no longer be used.
  • Restore your Escape and Fatigue tokens to 3 each if less than 3.
  • Your turn is ended.
  • During the Cyberman movement phase of the turn, move any Cyberman carrying a human towards the nearest Cyberconversion Unit.

Cyberconversion


Cyberconversion Unit

  • When a Cyberman carrying a human reaches a Cyberconversion Unit, remove the character counter.
  • Place a second Cyberman counter to represent the converted human.
    • If the Cyberman that was carrying the human was an older model, they are automatically upgraded.
    • Converted humans are always of the latest model.

The first player to lose every member of their group to cyberconversion when there is no Cyberleader, becomes the Cyberleader.

  • Players that lose all their group members that can't become Cyberleader may instead play the Cyberman who represents their last Human. This Cyberman is not moved by the Cyberleader. This figure is called a Cyberlieutenant.
  • Mark I Cybermen do not have a Cyberleader. Therefore no player will become the Cyberleader until the Cybermen upgrade to Mark II or better.
    • The oldest Cyberlieutenant is upgraded to Cyberleader when the Cybermen upgrade to Mark II.

A converted human is worth 1 Victory Point to the current Cyberleader.
