Core Rules Changelog

Version B.1.2

• Posted February 8, 2026
• Many of the changes in this version are about changing some game terms to more appropriately-themed alternatives, or giving commonly-found phrases a simple term to reduce word bloat in faction entries.
• Adjusted the standard game objective to account for units that cannot Attack.
  • In addition to having no pieces left on the board, if all a player has left on the board are pieces that cannot Attack, their opponent wins the game immediately.
• Changed the term Positional to Noble.
  • Positional was a hold-over from early development of Wargame Chess. The team voted on various options to replace it, and Noble was the winner.
• Changed the phrase 'removed from the board' to Banished.
  • The team felt this function could be reduced to a single word given how often it is used.
• Added the common rule Revered Structure.
  • Enough factions in the game will have a rule like this that we feel it warrants being a common one mentioned in the Core Rules. Most of those units with such a rule aren't released yet, but we feel this is helps readability for current and future releases.
