Glossary

There are numerous terms throughout these rules that are used, which are explained here for ease of use.

• If a rule refers to the letters (x) or (y) or (z), then the letters x, y or z refer to numbers or key words which are cited in a specific example of a rule.

• If a rule refers to the letters (A) or (B) or (C), then the letters A, B or C refer to these specific range bands, which are used to measure distances.
  A represents 100 Metres, B represents 250 Metres, C represents 500 Metres.

• D(x) is used as short handed for an x-sided die, so a D6 refers to a 6-sided die, a D20 refers to a 20-sided die.

• (x+) Refers to a required roll where for the player to succeed, they must roll x or higher, so a 4+ would be a successful is a player rolls 4, 5, or 6 on a 6-sided die.

• A model is a physical representation of something in the game. A model could be a human, a monster, a vehicle, or a piece of terrain. As VUBS is model agnostic, models can be paper tokens, or any kind of plastic miniature, but must be indicative of the thing they represent.

• A unit is an object that a player can give orders to. A unit may be composed of multiple models, or only one, and this is indicated on its specific rules page.

• Initiative is the order in which players activate their units, and is determined by a D20 roll in each strategy phase. Higher initiative players go first, followed by lower priority players.

• Priority is the order that individual units may be activated. This is determined by a die roll during the strategy phase, with highest priority units taking their actions first. Ties between players are given to the player with initiative.
