VERSUS MODE RULES ] Versus invites two players, each equipped with a command post, to oppose each other in a skirmish mode. This is an expansion to the game system, the specificities of which take priority over the core game’s rules. In this game mode all miniatures, heroes or villains, are characters controlled by tiles. Consequently, the rules related to item management do not apply here. Contrary to the usual rules, the exertion limit of the defense spaces is 3 (rather than the usual 4). In this game mode the structure of a game turn is the same; however, the structure of each side is modified. The structure of the villain’s turn has been modified as follows.
