Board DescriptionPERN The Northern Continent Original design by Hurricane Adapted for WarGear by Kjeld Welcome to the exciting world of dragons and danger that is Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern! As the Red Star begins it's 9th Pass, you will need to bring together both men and dragons in order to survive the deadly onslaught of Thread. To do this, unite control of all the holds and weyrs, and bring peace and protection to the planet! Each Major Hold is marked with a fortress icon and lighter background color, and is worth +1 unit per turn and also defends with d7. Dragons reside in the Weyrs, located in the craters of ancient volcanoes. This location provides defense against ground attack (defend with d7) but not against aerial assault from another weyr (attack with d7 to all other weyrs). However, dragons do not fight well on the ground, so move with caution against the surrounding territories (attack with d5). Control of each weyr is worth +2 units per turn. The coverage area of each weyr are marked by similar color groupings, and give standard continent bonuses as defined on the map. Major holds are required to gain this bonus, weyrs are not. There are three maritime routes through the southern sea that take advantage of Pern's natural ocean currents. Attacks against the current are with d4 dice, and so are not recommended in most circumstances! Finally, beware the snowy wastes! Defending at only d4, they are a fast way to move across the north, but don't leave troops there or they're likely to get destroyed by an opponent. Miscellaneous rules: 4,5,6,7... card scale, return to attack from fortify is on, unlimited reserves, medium fog default. By the Egg, go now and conquer! *Note: Original design by Hurricane.
