A unit with Erenades is assumed to throw their Erenade +/and thus will only be harmed by an e-'losion or ireresulting rom an ?il *rum, #rain or ?il Rig i it is aughtwithin the blast!

Desi*ner6s Notes

he eal %orld#he Real >orld (our world, <arth) whih the Army Men have

ventured into sine they disovered the irst 'ortals on thePlasti >orld and ollet 'lasti rom, is e-tremelydangerous or Army Men! It is not easy being in a world ogiant 'eo'le and animals om'ared when you/re a tiny . anda Dal inh igure and they an/t ;now that you are alive!Ater all, Army Men are made out o lieless/ 'lasti! It is'ossible or 'lasti to be blown to bits and unuseable buteven melted 'lasti is good or something! o Army Men willontinue venturing into the Real >orld and will no doubt

enounter resistane rom Eiant Rats, Co;roahes andother nasties in order to harvest more 'lasti and maybeeven ind Moulds whih no other Colour has aess to yet!

$)eletons!#he ;eletons began to stir when the bodies o 'lastisoldiers rom wars o 'ast ages were not harvested or re$sha'ing into new 'lasti soldiers and withered away toalmost nothing! #heir ;nowledge o battle remained andthey have begun to awa;e and 're'are or war again againstthe living o Plasti >orld!

Co#boys and Indians5#he Cowboys and Indians are engaged in a onstant warwith themselves and eah other in the largest 'lasti desertstate! #he Indians live in a anyon with their te'ees and raidCowboy wagons, tageoahes, trains and isolated #owns!

#he Cowboys and Indians both hire themselves out as hiredguns wherever beneiial!

he Pirates5#hey are raiding seaarers who 'lunder oastal settlementsand o'erate out o a 'ort ortress! It is heavily deended byDeavy Cannons and short Pirate Militia! #he Pirates



onstantly ight eah other on islands and elsewhere or loot,treasure hests and usually on the run rom the ores o lawand order5 #he Royalist :avy with its regiment aterregiment o Mus;eteers!

eterans 7$pace A*e8!#he eterans are genetially engineered su'er soldiers withaess to uture tehnology suh as Dand Cannons andCyborgs! #hey an also enlist e-$onvit rawlers who wontheir reedom in the Arena! #hey are signiiantly taller andtougher than a normal Army Man and are armoured!

Astrona&t Zombies5

#hey originate rom the *ead Moon/, ;nown one as thePlasti Moon where olonists rom the Plasti >orlddisovered anient 'lasti men there whih ame to lie inthe aves and raters o the *ead Moon and onsumed theolonists and gained aess to their buggies, satellite dishes,shuttles and ro;ets! #hey ;now use buggies as trans'orts,shuttles or inter$'lanetary invasions, satellite dishes ortele'orting more Astronaut Zombies rom the *ead Moononto a given world! #heir Ro;ets are used to bombard the

enemy rom aar!

A Note on /ame 4alance!Ater e-tensive 'laytesting over the ourse o ".2, I haveome u' with a 'oints value system ater testing eah unit/sdurability and oensive a'abilities! #o that end, a ew unitsin 'artiular 'roved to be 'artiularly devastating and Isuggest limiting these units to a 'artiular number to'revent them unbalaning the game o Army Men PAZCIK!

#o that end, I reommended limiting a8oo;as, Mortars,Cata'ults and 'otentially even Deavy MEs to L 'er army ona tableto'! I also reommended limiting Cannons to due totheir $tron*er han rule!



Army 4alance Contin&ed!I also ound that some units serve very well as Core Hnits tobuild an army around and others are more s'eialised andshould be limited in 'ro'ortion to how many Core models

you already have in an army! 3or e-am'le, when I 'lay witha Modern Army Men Army I would ount Rilemen andMahine Eunners as Core Hnits but Erenadiers andCommandos I would lassiy as more s'eialised! #o thatend, I would not have more than 0" Erenadiers orCommandos (I might have both) in an army to ;ee' itbalaned! I would ha''ily have ."" Rilemen and9or MahineEunners though and would have handuls o Erenadiersintegrated into Mahine Eunner units throughout the army

where 'ossible!

Combined Arms! Erenadiers & 3lamethrowersErenadiers, u' to hal as many as the total ore unit it is'art o, an and should be 'art o Mahine Eunner orRilemen units! 3or e-am'le, i I had a s4uad o .% MahineEunners then the suggested limit on Erenadiers in thats4uad would be G! Also, you an have u' to 2 3lamethrowersattahed to a Rilemen or Mahine Eunner 4uad and i it so

ha''ens that two s4uads with 3lamethrowers lin;$u' and bylin;ing u' 'ush this number u' urther, don/t worry about it!I reommended a limit o .0 3lamethrowers in an army, with2 'er unit at the most where 'ossible!

"o# B %hy to play Army Men PAZCIK#he 'oint o this game and the reason that I designed it thisyear, is to have 3H: and onnet with other 'eo'le! I wouldlove to hear that athers are 'laying with their sons, riendsare 'laying together, boyriends are 'laying with theirgirlriends, ust onneting together over a game about'lasti models that ight eah other!

Hsually when I 'lay this game I end the battle when all othe other models are destroyed but you ould end it at #urn



+ i you wanted! #here are lots o little lags & mounds to'ut them in that ome with Army Men and these ould beused as obetive mar;ers! >hoever has . riendly unitwithin 2/ o an obetive an laim it, unless there is an

enemy unit within 2/ as well, then it is ontested onlyounts or hal!

#his game is meant to be e-'ansive! I started out with a ewO bags o Bellow and ?range 'lasti Army Men rom adisount store at the unshine Coast and develo'ed therules and ba;ground and musi over the ourse o the year!I added new units to ;ee' balane in the game and ma;eunits om'etitive by hanging their stats and adding terrain

and a 'oints system to the game hanged it 4uite a ?#! utmy 'oint is5 ome u' with new units yourselves and omeu' with stats, rules and ba;grounds or them! It/s un andwill ;ee' the game resh and e-iting and the same goes orterrain rules!

#he way that I have balaned Army Men PAZCIK is internallyand by 'eriod! o what that means is that eah army isdesigned to ight in a ertain 'eriod against other armies o

its same time! ome units are terrii or ;illing the Hndeaddue to their redution o :umb saves but 'robably not greatagainst normal models or ones with Armour! #o this end, theCowboys and Indians have been 'laytested together, ashave the Pirates with eah other, and the eterans andModern Army Men armies! #he only army to ross over the'eriods is the Hndead and they have been balaned to ightarmies o all 'eriods! It an be really un and will ;ee' thegame resh and e-iting and the same goes or terrain rules!

#he way that I have balaned Army Men PAZCIK in ".2 isinternally and by 'eriod 7Prehistoric' Medieval etc' yo&#ill see these in the Army +ists8! o what that means isthat eah army is designed to ight in a ertain 'eriodagainst other armies o its same time! ome units are terriior ;illing the Hndead due to their redution o :umb saves



but 'robably not great against normal models or ones withArmour! #o this end, the Cowboys and Indians have been'laytested together, as have the Pirates with eah other,and the eterans and Modern Army Men armies! #he only

army to ross over the 'eriods in ".2 was the Hndead andthey have been balaned to ight armies o all 'eriods!

%here to (rom here1#he ne-t stage in 'laytesting will be to balane Army MenPAZCIK to enourage and sustain battles over 'eriods ohistory in the Plasti >orld (e!g! Cowboys ighting Knights)and to ma;e it more streamlined, easy to 'i; u' and asterto 'lay! I would li;e to than; my riends who have 'layed

this game with me this year and anyone who ever showedinterest in it!
