This Document Is the Order of Battle for the Commonwealth, Known in Shorthand As an ORBAT

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.

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’.
