HAMMER SWEEP...Important: For the avoidance of doubt, the rules presented in the latest version of the ORBAT always take precedence over any Unit or Battlefleet rules presented elsewhere

This document is the Order of Battle for the Commonwealth, known in shorthand as an ORBAT. Once you have agreed the

points limit for your Encounter, each player must consult the ORBAT for their chosen Faction. This ORBAT allows a player

to create a Force for the Commonwealth in games of Dystopian Wars. We have also made Unit cards available too, for quick

reference in games. Important: For the avoidance of doubt, the rules presented in the latest version of the ORBAT always take

precedence over any Unit or Battlefleet rules presented elsewhere.

Each Commonwealth Force must include one or more Battlefleets. A Battlefleet is a group of Units that are always led by a

Flagship. There are a number of Battlefleets available to the Commonwealth each with an array of Units to choose from and

some even with additional rules or benefits.

Based on the work of the infamous Troika, the Commonwealth uses electromagnetic force to launch hyper velocity

projectiles. Because of these efforts, the Commonwealth Forces have the following Quality on some weapons:

RAIL: The Citadel of the Initial Target receives a -2 against Attacks with this Quality. When making an attack against

Aerial Units with this Quality, the Attack Dice Pool gains receives +1 Action Dice. When making an attack against

Submerged Units with this Quality the Attack Dice Pool gains receives -1 Action Dice.

Some Units in the Commonwealth have special rules that are different to those found in the rulebook. Units that have one

or more of these rules will have them detailed in their Unit profiles in this ORBAT. The rules unique to the Commonwealth

are listed here:

ABLATIVE ARMOUR: Remove one Action die from the Attack Dice Pool each time an attack is made against this Unit.

Attacks with the Aerial Quality ignore this rule.

CRYO-KOMETA: SRS Tokens launched by Units with this rule may re-roll Blank Results on Attack Runs.

HAMMER SWEEP: During its Activation, this Unit may increase its Speed by 1" and gains +2 to its Ramming Dice Pool

provided that it makes no turns during this Movement.

A Battlefleet may only ever include one Unit with the Flagship trait unless the Battlefleet composition specifically states

otherwise. Battlefleets in the Commonwealth may have the following special rule:

COMMAND RE-ROLL: If a Battlefleet has this rule, the Player gains a Command Re-roll. Each Command Re-roll may be

used once per game. It allows all the dice in the Player’s Action Dice Pool (regardless of results) to be re-rolled. You may not

re-roll part of the Action Dice Pool or another Player’s Action Dice Pool using this rule, it must be all the dice and only in

your own Dice Pool.

This is the most flexible and commonly deployed Battlefleet found in the Commonwealth. The ability to mix surface, submersible and aerial Units makes this an essential component of any Commodore’s Force.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the COMMONWEALTH Trait.

• You MAY include up to a further Four Units with the COMMONWEALTH Trait.

• You may not include more than one of any Unit.

• Command Re-Roll

The mighty hammer on which the Commonwealth smashes its enemies, these battlefleets are built around the distinctive and powerful Borodino class vessels.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the BORODINO CLASS Trait.

• You MUST include a Kutzov Unit.

• You MAY include up to a further Three Units with the RUSSIAN Trait.

• You may not include Aerial Units or more than two of any Unit except Kutzov or Rurik classes.

:

• Command Re-Roll

• Provided the Battlefleet includes a maximum sized Kutzov Unit, all Units in the Battlefleet receive a Ramming bonus of +3 for Hammer Sweep rather than the usual +2.

The White Navy does not underestimate air power in their strategies. The Commonwealth deploys Mozhayski Fleet Carriers to coordinate aerial assaults alongside Ekranoplans and other more conventional naval assets.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the MOZHAYSKI CLASS Trait.

• You MUST include a Rurik or Pravda Unit.


• You may not include more than two of any Unit except Rurik or Pravda classes.

:

• Command Re-Roll

• Provided the Battlefleet includes a maximum sized Rurik or Pravda Unit, Pravda class Units do not have their SRS Capacity reduced when Crippled.

The Russian White Navy knows that naval supremacy of the Baltic Sea is critical for the security of the Commonwealth. Many fleets are deployed in the freezing northern waters to ensure any threats can be countered.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the BORODINO or TOBOLSK CLASS Trait.

• You MUST include a Morozko or Khatanga Unit.


• You may not include more than two of any Unit except Kutzov, Morozko or Katanga classes.

:

• Command Re-Roll

• Provided the Battlefleet includes a maximum sized Morozko or Khatanga Unit, Cryo Generators in the Battlefleet may re-roll the die for determining Iceberg formation.

Deployed from its fleet base in Astrakhan, the resources of the Caspian Battlefleets are often deployed beyond the confines of the inland sea itself through the Eurasia Canal.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the MOZHAYSKI or MURMANSK CLASS Traits.

• You MUST include a Stoletov or Sineus Unit.

• You MAY include up to a further Two Units with the RUSSIAN Trait.

• You may not include Aerial Units or more than two of any Unit except Sineus and Stoletov classes.

:

• Command Re-Roll

• Provided the Battlefleet includes at least one maximum sized Stoletov or Sineus Units then all Stoletov or Sineus Units in the Battlefleet gain the High Velocity Quality to their Rocket Batteries and Heavy Rocket Batteries.

This Unit is equipped with an internal Cryo Generator. It may not be upgraded or replaced. This Generator may be used in the Shooting

Phase to fire a Cryogenic Blast at a Target Model. Alternatively, the controlling player of this Model rolls an Action Die. On a result

of an Exploding Hit, you may place a 2" long Mass 2 Iceberg obstacle within 25" of a Model in this Unit. On a Hit or Heavy Hit, place

a 1" Mass 1 Iceberg obstacle within 20" of a Model in this Unit. On a Counter or Heavy Counter place a 1" Mass 1 Iceberg obstacle

within 15" of a Model in this Unit. On a Blank, no Iceberg forms. Icebergs may not be placed within 5” of another Model.

These are the weapon used by the faction. All values highlighted in green are used when the model is Battle Ready. Values shown in red are used if the model is crippled.

ADVANCED REPAIR FACILITIES (3): This Unit may add three additional Action Dice to its Repair Test. This is in addition to those given by the Model’s Mass. Furthermore, this bonus to the Action Dice Pool for Repair Tests may also be gained by any friendly Models within 10" of a Model in this Unit. INTERNAL SHIELD GENERATOR: This Unit is equipped with an internal Shield Generator. It may not be upgraded or replaced. LOGISTICAL SUPPORT: This Unit adds +1 to the number of Victory and Valour Cards in a player’s hand. Should this Unit be destroyed, the bonus is lost at the end of the Round. This ability does not stack, so multiple Units with this rule still only confers +1 to the hand size in total. LUMBERING: All Shooting targeting this Model may re-roll Blank results on the Action Dice. It may make a Full Reverse! Special Operations Action without receiving a Level of Disorder. UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL: Emerging suddenly, this Unit appears to wreak havoc on the enemy. This Unit is always held in Reserve (see Operations for details). The player may re-roll the Action Die to determine the Reserve result. When it is available for deployment, it is placed at any point in the Play Area that is at least 3" from the nearest terrain feature. The Model cannot be deployed under another Model. VOID-ENGINE OVERCLOCK: Instead of rolling the Action Die on the first round, when using the Unexpected Arrival Rule, this model may be immediately made available for deployment. However, after deploying, it suffers a point of damage and receives a level of disorder and the Reactor Leak Critical Damage Marker.

M S T A C ADV SDV F H A development on the Murmansk, the Tobolsk Mobile Stronghold is often deployed in the far northern waters where it provides a tactical advantage to the Commonwealth in those isolated freezing seas.

The following is the official ‘Counts As’ guide for players to make use of older and out of production Classic Dystopian Wars

miniatures in games. These are official guidelines and so may be used for official tournaments, organised play and any other

sanctioned events.

The Models MUST be taken as indicated here. Any Unit upgrades listed must be taken and no other options are available to the

Unit from the ORBAT. For example, a miniature for a Classic Borodino may be included in your Force to represent a Borodino.

However, it may not take any weapon upgrades or additional Generators. That way, an opponent that encounters this Classic Model

in games will know exactly what it represents without further explanation or note keeping.

Important: As the range of Units for the Faction expands with new releases, this list will adapt to include other Classic Miniatures

that are now able to Counts as one of these Units in the game. So if there is a classic miniature in your collection that is not listed

below, do not worry, it will be added as the range expands and it gains something it can ‘count as’.
