INTRODUCTION

BATMAN$MINIATURE$GAME$is$a$new$skirmish$game,$with$an$original$gameplay$based$on$
Action$Counters,$where$characters$actions$are$planned.$The$gameplay$system$is$designed$
for$both$novice$and$veteran$players.$It$has$a$strategic$and$dynamic$orientation$that$avoids$
complex$mechanisms$and$makes$it$suitable$for$all$kind$of$players.$This$game$is$focused$on$
DC$Comics$World,$primarily$in$the$Batman$universe$and$the$villains$associated$with$him.

GAME-COMPONENTS.
Batman$Miniature$Game$requires:$a$scenic$gaming$area$which$represents$the$city$area,$a$
few$sixasided$dice,$Counters,$a$tape$measure$and$Knight$Models$Miniatures.$Knight$Models$
Miniatures$accurately$represent$each$of$our$game$characters.$
PLAYING$SURFACE.
We$must$prepare$any$table$or$board$with$a$minimum$area$of$90cmx90cm$and$place$the$
terrain$elements$(houses,$trees,$cars,$etc.)$over$it,$simulating$the$streets,$gardens,$parks$&$
harbors$from$Arkham$or$Gotham$City.$These$terrain$elements$can$be$easily$purchased$or$
even$made$by$the$players$with$their$own$creativity$and$imagination.$The$more$terrain$you$
have$more$entertaining$the$game$can$be.
DICE.
You'll$need$many$sixasided$dice$to$play$the$Batman$Miniature$Game.$At$least$one$of$them$
should$come$in$a$different$color.$Knight$Models$will$provide$special$branded$Band$dice.
COUNTERS.
The$Counters$can$be$represented$by$gems,$chips,$tokens$or$even$the$dice.$Please$make$sure$
that$the$Counter$you$choose$fits$on$the$space$specially$designed$for$them$on$the$Character$
Card.$You$will$need$from$4$to$8$Counters$per$character.$Counters$can$be$easily$purchased$in$
most$stores.$Also,$you$will$need$a$small$nonatransparent$bag$or$container$to$keep$the$
Counters.$This$will$be$used$to$determine$who$will$be$the$first$player.$The$Counter$duties$
will$be$explained$later.$
MARKERS.
While$you$play$the$game$there$are$many$situations$or$states$of$the$characters$to$remember$
(Damage,$Poison,$Knock$Down$(K.O),$etc.)$Knight$Models$has$designed$special$Markers,$
which$you$can$find$at$the$end$of$the$rulebook.$The$markers$should$be$placed$next$to$the$
miniature$in$order$to$keep$track$of$the$Damage$or$special$power$effects$during$the$game.$
Also$there$are$special$Target$Markers$that$designate$scenario$Objectives.

ELEMENTS-OF-THE-GAME
MEASURING.

To$play$Batman$Miniatures$Game$you$will$need$a$tape$measure$(in$centimeters,$cm)$to$
check$the$distance$between$miniatures$and$the$length$of$their$movements$The$distance$
between$miniatures,$or$between$miniatures$and$obstacles,$should$be$measured$from$their$
closest$volume$point.$The$distance$traveled$by$a$miniature$through$the$ground/land$starts$
from$its$own$base$edge$to$its$new$position,$without$exceeding$the$allowed$distance$with$
any$part$of$its$base$edge.$Any$time$during$the$game$any$distance$can$be$measured.$

ROUNDING$DOWN.
Many$situations$of$the$game$will$ask$you$to$divide$a$numeric$value.$If$there$is$a$remainder,$
the$number$should$be$rounded$down.$For$example;$5$needs$to$be$divided$in$two,$the$result$
is$2.5,$so$you$will$need$to$round$down$to$2.

THE$MINIATURES.
The$most$important$pieces$in$the$game$are$the$miniatures$or$characters$as$we$will$also$
refer$to$them$within$this$rulebook.$Knight$Models$offers$a$faithful$representation$of$the$
characters$from$Batmans$world.$All$the$miniatures$include$a$base$and$the$corresponding$
Character$Card,$which$includes$all$the$information$required$to$play$the$game.

THE$MINIATURES$SIZE.
Almost$all$Batman$Miniatures$characters$are$humans$with$a$similar$height$(30$to$40mm$
approx.).$The$size$difference$between$them$is$insignificant$over$the$game$scale,$which$is$
why$we$consider$all$of$them$in$a$standard$size$unless$it$specifically$describes$on$a$
Character$Card$that$this$is$not$the$case.$The$miniature$size$and$volume$is$determined$by$the$
base$the$miniature$is$set$on.$Knight$Models$will$provide$all$miniatures$a$corresponding$
base$to$stand$on.

VOLUME.
The$miniatures$occupy$a$cylindrical$space:$diameter$base$x$height,$not$including$equipment$
elements$and$limbs$that$exceed$this$cylinder.$Note:$The$volume$is$a$part$of$the$miniature.$If$
the$character$is$on$its$knees$or$over$a$decorative$element,$take$the$volume$as$when$the$
character$is$upright$over$its$own$base.

BMG$rulebook

THE-Character-Card

All$characters$have$their$own$Character$Card.$This$card$will$not$only$describe$all$the$
character$information$that$you$need$to$play,$but$it$will$also$work$as$a$special$tool$during$the$
game.$Knight$Models$will$give$each$miniature$a$Character$Card$describing$the$following$
features:

$1$aCharacter$name$and$identification.$
This$is$what$makes$a$character$unique,$because$you$can't$line$up$more$than$one$of$the$same$
character$in$a$Band.$Basically,$how$could$we$have$two$Batman$in$the$same$Band?
2$aRank.
Different$ranks$can$be:$Leader,$Sidekick,$Free$Agent,$Henchman$or$Lackey.$These$
distinctions$are$important$in$arranging$a$Band,$as$there$are$a$few$requirements$and$a$limit$
on$how$many$characters$can$join,$and$it$will$depend$on$the$character$rank.
3$aAlias.$
The$Alter$Ego's$name$of$the$character.$
4$a$Affiliate.
In$this$section$more$than$one$Band$icon$may$appear.$This$icon$shows$the$Band$or$Bands$
that$the$character$can$join.$The$icon$of$your$Leader$will$determine$which$characters$can$
line$up$with$him.$This$means$all$Band$members$will$have$the$same$icon$as$their$Leader.$
5$a$Reputation.$
In$making$a$Band$the$Reputation$will$set$the$value$of$the$character$within$the$Band.$All$the$
scenarios$have$their$own$Reputation$quantity$(which$can$be$established$by$the$players)$in$
order$to$configure$the$Band.$The$sum$of$all$Band$members'$reputation$cannot$be$higher$
than$the$established$Band$Reputation.$
6$a$$$Funding.$
Many$Weapons$and$characters$come$with$a$funding$value$in$Dollars$($s).$Each$Band$can$
include$a$maximum$$s$amount$to$their$team,$which$depends$on$the$total$reputation$the$
group$owns.$Please$check$"Band$Configuration"$for$more$details.

CHARACTER-PRINCIPAL-CHARACTERISTICS.All$Batman$Miniatures$Game$miniatures$have$their$own$particular$principal$characteristics,$
with$their$own$abilities$and$skills.$Every$characteristic$has$a$numeric$value,$which$will$be$
the$key$to$success$during$the$game.$There$are$six$principal$characteristics:
7$aWILLPOWER.$
Willpower$is$one$of$the$most$important$characteristics.$It$represents$the$character's$
capacity$to$"act"$during$his$turn.$The$more$Willpower$a$character$has,$the$more$he$will$be$
able$to$do$when$he$is$active.$It$may$mean$that$he$can$run$more,$attack$more$times,$defend$
himself,$do$special$actions,$etc$This$value$is$the$number$of$Action$Counters$the$character$
has$to$share$out,$on$each$turn,$between$his$basic$skills$(move,$attack,$defend,$special).
8$aMOVEMENT.
Basically$all$characters$"walk"$the$same$speed,$but$they$may$not$"run"$with$the$same$
velocity.$This$value$represents$the$capacity$to$make$or$force$the$character's$mobility$(run,$
climb,$dodge,$etc.).$There$is$a$space$in$the$Character$Card$to$place$Action$Counters$to$move$
further$or$execute$special$movements.
9$aATTACK.
This$value$represents$the$character's$offensive$capacity.$The$higher$your$Attack,$the$more$
times$you$can$Strike.$It$is$also$the$number$your$opponent$must$surpass$to$Block.$There$is$a$
space$in$the$Character$Card$to$place$Action$Counters$to$attack.
10$aDEFENCE.
This$value$represents$the$defence$capacity$against$the$enemy's$attacks.$The$dice$roll$of$your$
opponent$must$be$equal$or$greater$to$this$value$to$score$a$hit.$This$value$also$represents$
the$number$of$opportunities$a$character$has$to$Block$enemies$hits.
11$aSTRENGTH.
It$is$used$to$work$out$Damage$from$an$Impact$during$an$attack.$The$Damage$Roll$must$be$
equal$to$or$greater$than$the$value$of$the$opponent's$strength$to$Damage.
12$aENDURANCE.$
Represents$the$capacity$to$take$hits$or$resist$injuries.$This$number$is$the$maximum$Damage$
a$character$can$endure$before$getting$K.Od.$There$is$a$space$in$the$Character$Card$to$place$
Action$Counters$and$to$place$the$Damage$Markers$they$have$received.
13$aSPECIAL.
This$is$a$section$in$the$Character$Card$to$place$Action$Counters$to$perform$Special$Actions.$
Personal$and$Special$traits.$In$this$section$we$will$indicate$all$the$special$rules$and$weapons$
the$character$is$armed$with.

PLAYING-SEQUENCE

The$playing$sequence$is$structured$by$rounds.$The$players$should$execute$the$following$stages$
consecutively$in$the$following$order,$as$shown$below.$Once$these$stages$are$done,$a$new$round$will$
start,$and$so$on$until$the$game$end$(see$end$of$game).

BEFORE-THE-FIRST-ROUND
Before$the$first$round$of$the$game,$players$must$place$as$many$dice/counters$as$the$number$of$
rounds$the$scenario$has$(usually$6$to$8$turns)$and$put$them$into$a$nonatransparent$bag$or$container.$
The$dice/counters$should$be$of$similar$shape,$but$in$two$different$colors.$Each$player$should$have$
the$same$amount.

1-TAKE-THE-LEAD
At$the$beginning$of$each$round$one$player$will$extract$a$dice/counter$from$the$bag,$show$it,$then$
discard$it$(do$not$return$it$to$the$bag).$The$owner$of$the$extracted$dice/counter$will$be$the$one$who$
will$Take-the-Lead$for$the$round.$Whichever$player$leads$the$round$will$choose$the$player$who$
plays$first$at$the$next$stage.$Players$must$extract$a$dice/counter$each$round$until$there$are$no$more$
dice/counters$left.$

2-RAISE-A-PLAN
It$is$time$to$decide$what$your$characters$will$do$during$your$turn.$The$lead$player$will$choose$the$
player$who$starts$to$Raising$a$Plan.
The$chosen$player$must$award$and$give$out$the$Actions$Counters,$equal$to$the$characters$
Willpower,$between$the$basic$skills$shown$on$the$Character$Card.$
Once$the$first$player$has$planned$what$his$characters$will$do,$the$opponent$must$do$the$same$with$
his$characters.$When$both$players$are$ready,$and$distributed$all$their$Action$Counters$correctly,$they$
can$start$the$next$phase$Execute$the$Plan.$

3-EXECUTE-THE-PLAN.

As$soon$as$both$players$have$planned$all$their$characters'$actions,$it$is$time$to$activate$them$and$
start$to$attack$and/or$move.$starting$with$the$player$who$first$raised$the$plan,$players$will$alternate$
character$activations.$.$Each$character$can$only$be$activated$once$per$round.$Once$all$characters$
have$been$activated$during$a$round$players$will$move$onto$the$final$stage.

4-CASUALTY-RECOUNTS-(end-of-a-round)
At$the$end$of$the$round,$any$K.Od.$or$stunned$characters$will$have$the$chance$to$recover$and$
remove$Injury$Marker$or$wake$up$from$a$K.O.$To$make$this$happen,$make$a$recovery$roll$(check$
Recover).
Once$the$recover$rolls$are$finished$the$players$must$carry$on$with$all$the$rules$that$must$be$
executed$at$"The$end$of$the$round".$After$this,$remove$all$unused$Action$Counters$from$the$
Character$Cards$and$check$the$victory$conditions$from$the$scenario$rules.$

END-OF-THE-GAME
If,$for$any$reason,$there$are$no$more$dice/counters$to$extract,$the$game$will$be$finished$at$the$end$of$
that$round.$A$game$wont$have$more$rounds$than$initially$decided$or$specified$in$the$scenario$even$
if$there$are$dice/counters$left$to$extract.

BASIC-SKILLS/-ABILITIES

During$the$Raise-the-Plane-phasea$Each$character$gains$a$number$of$counters$equal$to$their$
Willpower$characteristic,$and$their$controlling$player$must$distribute$these$Counters.
The$Character$Card$has$four$spaces$for$each$of$the$character$abilities$that$Action-COUNTERS-may$
be$distributed$to;$Movement,$Attack,$Defence$&$Special$(ENDURANCE$may$not$be$assigned$
counters).$
Place$the$Counters$on$their$empty$space$on$the$Character$Card.$This$will$help$us$to$carry$out$the$
basic$abilities$and$use$the$special$rules$during$the$different$game$stages.
Remembera$For$every$2$Damage$Markers$a$character$has$accumulated,$at$the$beginning$of$the$Raise$
the$Plan$stage,$the$character$will$lose$1$Action$Counter!

DISTRIBUTING$THE$ACTION$COUNTERS.
Please$follow$the$conditions$described$before$awarding$the$Action$Counters$to$your$characters.$You$
can$have$empty$spaces$if$you$prefer.$

MOVE$ABILITY.

The$player$can$place$as$many$Action$Counters$up$to$his$Movement$value.$These$Counters$will$
improve$the$character's$movement$capacity.$We$will$call$them$from$now$on,$Movement$Counters$or$
MC.

ATTACK$ABILITY.$

The$player$can$place$as$many$Action$Counters$up$to$his$character's$Attack$value.$These$Counters$
allow$the$character$to$make$ranged$and$close$combat$attacks$(see$Attack).$We$call$these$Counters,$
Attack$Counters$or$AC.$

DEFENCE$ABILITY.

Place$as$many$Action$Counters$up$to$the$character's$Defence$value.$This$is$a$"Passive"$skill$and$can$
be$used$when$the$character$is$not$active.$Each$of$the$Counters$can$be$used$to$block$an$attack$or$hit$
from$the$opponent$during$close-combat.$We$will$call$these$Counters$Defence$Counters,$or$DC.$
SPECIAL$ABILITY.$
Players$can$use$up$to$three$Counters$for$this$attribute.$Each$of$these$Counters$is$for$the$character's$
special$ability,$or$to$recover$Damage$at$the$end$of$the$turn.$These$Counters$will$be$called$Special$
Counters$or$SC.

USING$YOUR$COUNTERS.$

During$the$game,$you$will$need$to$use$your$basic$skills$Action$Counters.$Remove$the$Counter$from$
the$Character$Card$when$it$is$used.
If$an$action$requires$you$to$use$or$remove$more$than$one$Action$Counter$and$you$do$not$possess$
enough$Action$Counters,$you$cannot$carry$out$that$action$or$rule.

BMG$rulebook

ACTIVATE-A-CHARACTER.

As$soon$as$a$character$is$active,$it$can$perform$a$number$of$skills-during$its$activation.$This$includes$
moves,$actions,$attacks$and$special$skills.$Players$should$declare,$at$the$beginning$of$a$character's$
activation,$their$actions$and$the$order$they$will$execute$them.$A$character$can$move$then$attack,$
attack$then$move,$just$attack,$or$just$move.$A$character$may$not$execute$the$same$skill$at$different$
times$during$a$turn,$so$they$may$not$move,$attack,$and$then$move$again,$or$attack,$move$then$attack$
again.
$Once$the$character$has$used$his$basic$abilities$and$spent$the$required$Counters,$the$activation$will$
be$finished$and$give$way$to$the$next$player's$character$activation$procedure.
$Note:$Players$are$not$required$to$use$all$a$characters$Counters.$

PASSIVE$SKILLS.
Some$abilities$are$passive,$such$as$defend$or$block.$These$can$be$used,$during$another$
player's$turn,$as$a$response$to$attacks$or$to$execute$special$rules.$The$instructions$and$cost$
in$Action$Counters$will$be$shown$on$each$passive$skill.

PASS$ACTIVATION.
At$the$beginning$of$Execute$the$Plan,$players$must$decide$how$many$pass$chances$the$player$with$
fewer$characters$has.$The$pass$chance$is$equal$to$the$difference$between$how$many$characters$the$
player$has$than$their$opponent$(K.O.$characters$do$not$count$for$this.)$This$way,$the$player$with$
fewer$characters$can$Pass$(chose$not$to$activate$a$character)$and$give$the$chance$of$activation$to$the$
other$player.$This$may$mean$a$player$can$activate$two$characters$consecutively.$A$player$cannot$pass$
more$than$twice$consecutively.

SKILL-ROLL:To$successfully$execute$some$actions$you$must$pass$a$roll.$Compare$the$roll$against$the$
value$of$the$principal$characters$characteristics:

AGILITY$ROLL:
To$succeed$you$must$roll$one$die$which$must$be$equal$to$or$less$than$the$character's$
Movement$value.$
RESISTANCE$ROLL:
To$succeed$you$must$roll$two$dice$and$the$sum$of$both$should$be$equal$to$or$less$than$the$
character's$Endurance$value.$
WILLPOWER$ROLL:
To$succeed$you$must$roll$two$dice$and$the$sum$of$both$should$be$equal$or$less$than$the$
character's$Willpower$value.

MOVEMENT

BASIC-MOVEMENT.
All$Batman$Miniatures$Game$characters$have$the$BASIC$MOVEMENT$CAPACITY$(BMC),$which$is$set$
at$10cm$and$may$change$according$to$their$special$rules.$This$movement$is$free$during$the$
character's$activation$and$does$not$require$any$counters$to$be$spent.$
Furthermore,$if$the$character$has$MC$(meaning$that$the$player$added$Action$Counters$to$its$move$
basic$ability)$it$can$be$used$to$move$further.$A$die$must$be$thrown$for$each$used$MC$and$the$sum$all$
the$die$results$(in$cm)$is$a$characters$EXTRA-MOVEMENT,$that$is$added$to$the$character's$BASIC$
MOVEMENT$CAPACITY.$When$a$character$is$active$and$moves,$it$can$travel$around$the$playing$area$
as$many$centimetres$(cm)$as$its$MOVEMENT$CAPACITY$value.$
The$total$will$be$the$characters$MOVEMENT-CAPACITY$during$this$activation.$The$entire$
MOVEMENT-CAPACITY$must$be$used$at$the$same$time,$it$cannot$be$interrupted$by$other$actions,$
attacks$or$abilities.$A$character$which$does$not$use$the$MC$during$movement$cannot$use$them$to$
move$at$any$other$moment$after$the$activation,$but$may$use$them$to$pay$other$costs.$Characters$
cannot$go$through$any$space$or$volume$already$occupied$by$other$characters.

RUN-

Characters$can$double$their$BMC$using$1MC$and$1SC.$During$this$movement$the$character$wont$be$
able$to$manipulate,$cross$any$obstacle$or$difficult$ground,$climb,$or$jump,$and$must$move$at$least$
10cm.$A$character$may$still$use$EXTRA-MOVEMENT-before$or$after$a$run

STAND

When$a$character$is$knocked$down,$it$may$stand$up$during$its$activation$using$1$Action$Counter.$
Once$the$character$is$standing$again$it$can$move$as$normal.$

JUMP-CAPACITY-(JC)

Some$characters$movement$may$require$it$to$jump$obstacles$or$over$gaps.$As$a$default,$a$character$
must$generate$a$JC,$by$spending$twice$the$CM$of$MOVEMENT$CAPACITY$for$each$CM$of$JUMP$
CAPACITY.$A$character$may$jump$multiple$times$in$an$activation,$but$must$generate$a$separate$JC$for$
each$jump.
E.g.$A$character$with$a$MOVEMENT$CAPACITY$of$10$wishes$to$jump$a$4cm$gap.$4cm$JC$takes$8cm$of$
MOVEMENT$CAPACITY.$They$must$spend$1MC$to$jump$the$gap,$and$then$have$2cm$of$movement$
remaining.

DISABLED-MOVEMENT.-

During$the$game$there$will$be$occasions$where$a$character's$movement$may$be$affected$by$ground$
difficulty$or$by$a$rule$effect.$When$a$character$is$affected$by$a$movement$effect,$each$cm$
(centimeter)$the$character$wishes$to$move$across$the$affected$area$it$costs$2$cm$.$

MOVING-AROUND-ARKHAM-CITY.-

The$terrain$elements$on$the$gaming$area$are$fundamental$for$the$characters'$movement$and$sight.$
The$Batman$Miniatures$Game$combat$will$take$place$in$the$city,$so$the$movement$rules$are$designed$
for$this$environment.$All$terrain$elements$are$considered$obstacles,$which$will$be$divided$into$
different$categories:$Small$Obstacles,$Difficult$Obstacles,$and$Vertical$Obstacles.$.$

BMG$rulebook

PASS-A-SMALL-OBSTACLE-

Small$Obstacles$that$dont$exceed$half$of$the$miniatures$height$(around$2cm$for$a$regular$or$human$
character).$Small$Obstacles$can$be$garden$hedges,$boxes,$buckets,$chairs$or$any$domestic$furniture$
in$general.$Passing$them$is$free$as$they$dont$exceed$half$of$the$miniature's$size.$If$it$is$higher,$it$is$
considered$a$difficult$obstacle.

PASS-A-DIFFICULT-OBSTACLE..-

These$obstacles$are$those$higher$than$half$of$the$miniature$size$but$not$taller$than$the$miniature$
itself$(around$2$to$4$or$5cm$for$a$"human"$character).$These$obstacles$can$be$high$garden$hedges,$
fences,$cars,$containers,$big$trash$bins$and$the$urban$furniture$in$general.$A$character$must$spend$
1MC$to$cross$a$DIFFICULT$OBSTACLEa$or$they$cannot$cross$it.$

DIFFICULT-GROUND.-

Areas$of$difficult$ground$are$areas$such$as$piled$debris,$smashed$zones,$tree$areas,$waterways$or$
harbor$water.$Before$the$mission$starts$the$players$must$set$which$terrain$elements$are$considered$
difficult$grounds.
If$a$character$needs$to$cross$this$difficult$ground$they$will$need$to$spend$1$MC$to$proceed

CLIMB-VERTICALLY.

A$Vertical$Obstacle$is$much$taller$than$the$miniature,$such$as$a$wall$or$any$other$element$which$can$
be$climbed.$Dont$forget$to$set$the$vertical$obstacles$before$the$game$starts.
To$move$vertically$we$must$measure$the$initial$and$final$miniature$base$position.$While$the$
character$moves$vertically$we$consider$it$a$difficult$move$(disabled$movement)$and$he$must$expend$
1$MC$or$they$cannot$proceed.$If$a$character$tries$to$climb$a$vertical$obstacle$they$must$finish$their$
move$in$an$area$where$the$miniature$can$be$placed,$such$as$a$roof$or$the$top$of$a$wall$that$is$thick$
enough$to$stand$the$miniature.$Otherwise$you$will$spring$into$the$air$or$suffer$the$fallen$rules.

JUMP-A-GAP.

A$character$can$horizontally$jump$a$gap$or$empty$space,$but$must$spend$1$MC$to$proceed.$If$the$
character$generates$a$JUMP$CAPACITY$equal$to$or$greater$than$the$distance$of$the$jump,$the$jump$
automatically$succeeds,$if$not,$the$jump$fails$and$the$jumper$falls.
$
