Lace Wars Rules - King's Regulations & Orders - Abridged

These abridged rules are based on the Kings Regulations & Orders  (KR&Os) v3.75.

They are intended to distil the rules down to the necessary. In so doing, they reduce the word count by well over 60%. If these rules were in the original type face you would now have 30 pages of rules compared with 53 in the unabridged version. As a result, they may lead to some ambiguities (or even errors) – which are readily resolved by referring to the full rules.

Rule numbering is not used but the section headings correspond to those in the KR&Os (for ease of reference). That said, some rules have been relocated in this set.

I have omitted many (not all) of the references to Exclusive Rules as it should be taken as read that these may modify these standard rules.

These have been primarily produced for personal use (but are being shared by kind permission of Ian Weir). As such, I have cut those corners that I am comfortable cutting – hopefully this suits you too, but there is no guarantee. There is also a risk, in this corner-cutting, that I have missed or misinterpreted some rules; especially in this v1.0.

I would suggest using these shortened rules to ‘learn’ the game and get playing – and then use the full rules when you need to reference rules during play.
