Greetings! I was lucky enough to be granted access to the DW 2.5 rulebook a few weeks back to use for show prep on Exploding Dice Radio. Since that time, I’ve not been idle; I’ve been busily compiling a detailed list of changes in the new version, which I’m presenting here. This post is intended to help veteran DW players identify the changes that have been made to the rules mechanics between DW 2.0 and DW 2.5 As such, if a rule is not mentioned in this document, then it can be assumed that there was no change to that particular rule. This also means that this document will not be useful as a fast-play sheet, nor can it replace the actual rule book during a game. The 2.5 rules also have a significant amount of minor wording and formatting changes throughout. For the most part, these have been ignored in this list, except where I deemed them to be particularly drastic or noteworthy.

Section A

A1 – Game Basics

• What You will Need to Play
  • “The Tabletop” has now been changed to “The Battlefield,” and the mention of gaming clubs has been removed.
  • The several paragraphs discussing Activation Markers have been deleted.
• Dice Principles
  • A table has been added to explain how a D3 works.
  • A new diagram has been added to demonstrate how the Exploding Dice mechanic works
  • The dice examples are now placed in line with the descriptions of the mechanics, instead of being after the Scrapyard description.
• Height Bands
  • New diagram for the various height bands.

A2 – The Statistic Card (Formerly a part of A1)

• Model Stats
  • Showcases a new stat card style that looks pretty sharp.
  • The stats shown are for the RC Moskova DN vice the PE Kaiser Karl heavy BB.

A3 – Squadron Rules (Used to be A2)

• Minor changes to the rules for Mixed Squadrons; Combat Patrols have been removed from the list of “built via” rules, but are still described in the Attachments section.
• The list of Attachment requirements removes the ability for a parent model to have multiple attachments in a specialist group.
• The subsection on Specialist Group Squadrons has been deleted
• Combat Infantry Patrols have been removed from the rules. The only Combat Patrol in 2.5 is the Combat Air Patrol (CAP).
  • The 2.5 rule book no longer contains a separate subsection in Section D discussing Combat Patrols (section D8 in the 2.0 rule book). All of the CAP rules are now contained in A3.
  • CAP must now be taken from Local Air Support (not a carrier).
  • CAP can be attached to a Large or Massive model that does NOT already have an attachment; unlike 2.0 where it was specifically allowed, it is now illegal to have both an attachment (escorts, support cruisers, etc) and a CAP.
  • CAP now stays permanently attached to the model its protecting.
  • Like escort models, the destruction of a CAP does not trigger a disorder test.
• Squadron Activation Order
  • 2.5 provides an optional rule to use the Bolt Action style of “Blind Activation,” where players put a die or token for each activation in their force into a bag or cup, and blindly draw them out one by one.

A4 – Call To Battle (Formerly A3)

• Levels of Engagement: A new subsection for 2.5. Has three Levels:
  • Ensign: Players agree to MFV, Theater (land or water), and have a Commodore.
  • Captain: In addition to the Ensign level, players also agree to a Core Force type and Minimum Force Requirements, Minimum Percentages for Size, and The Use of Allies
    • Min force requirements and percentages are unchanged ( 1 Large/Massive, 1 Medium, and 1 Small squadron, and 60% large, 60%Medium, and 40% small).
  • Commodore Level Game
    • Adds Main/Strategic Forces and Local Air Support to the Captain level game.
• Local Air support is now limited to just fighters.
  • With the demise of CIP, armored forces get the same fighter support as aerial and naval forces do.
  • Just like 2.0, this local support has to go into the Main Force.
  • The fighters come as 5-strong SAS, and the number you get depend on the size of the game:
    • 0-750: 1 SAS
    • 751-1250: 2 SAS
    • 1251-1500: 3 SAS
    • 1501+: 4 SAS
• Random Terrain:
  • This is now listed as an optional rule for Commodore level games. There is no longer an accompanying diagram for this method, and the procedure has now changed:
    • Roll only one D6 per 24×24” square of the table
    • 1-2=No Terrain
    • 3-4=One Piece
    • 5=Two Pieces
    • 6=Three Pieces
• The Summary of Force Contents subsection from the 2.0 book has been removed.
• Prepare to Engage
  • Board Size: No longer has a table that discusses board size in relation to game size. Now gives general guidance that “small” and “medium” games will play best on a 4×6’, but no more detail than that.
  • Terrain Placement: The procedural generation from 2.0 is gone. The 2.5 book encourages players to “identify a narrative and place terrain accordingly.”
  • Board Edges: No change to the selection of deployment zones and flanking zones.
  • Deployment:
    • Flanking Forces and Reserve Forces no longer randomly arrive, but instead their turn of arrival is chosen by the player and noted before the game starts. This information is available to both players; the rules say to place a dice or a marker next to reserve squadrons to note their turn of arrival.

A5 – Tactical Action Cards (Was section A4)

• Types of Cards: Battle Group Cards are no longer listed.
• Choosing A TAC Deck
  • The last paragraph referencing the future release of alternate TAC cards has been removed.
  • The “Fog of War” method of randomly selecting TACs is unchanged, but has been split out into a separate box and moved to the end of the section.
• Cancelling TACS
  • Players now have to use cards that are greater than the card being cancelled, not equal to.
  • For example, canceling a 40 point card would require a 60 point card, and canceling a 60 point card would require at least 80 points worth of cards.
• The “For those that like longer games” section is now split out into a separate section, but is unchanged.
• The TACs in Multi-Player Games sub-section has been deleted.
• The Anatomy of a TAC Card diagram has been moved to the end of Section A5.
• Added to the end of section A5 is an example of how playing and canceling TACs works. This example highlights how the value of the canceling TACs requires a higher number of points that the card being canceled.

Section B

B2 – Types of Attacks

• To Hit Modifiers have been removed from the list of things ignored by Indiscriminate attacks.
  • MARs affecting To Hit values (Elusive, Small Target, etc) still state that they are only activated by Targeted Attacks.
• The Targeted Attacks description no longer mentions To-hit modifiers, either.
• Applying Damage
  • Procedure has been changed from a 3-step process to a two step process. Each step has 4 sub-steps.
  • Step 1: Determine Volume of Damage
    • 1.1: Damaging Hit
    • 1.2: Critical Hit
    • 1.3: Damaging Critical Hit
    • 1.4: Multiple Critical Hit
  • Step 2: Apply Damage and HP Loss, in this order:
    • 1.1: Damaging Hit
    • 1.2: Critical Hit
    • 1.3: Damaging Critical Hit
    • 1.4: Multiple Critical Hit
  • Damaging Critical Hit: New damage mode for 2.5. If the number of hits equal DR+CR, but less than 2x CR, the target suffers the critical as normal, plus loses one additional HP. Damaging crits are ignored if a model takes hits in excess of 2x its CR.
  • The subsection describing the application of Critical Hits no longer has a note stating that models with 2 or less starting HP do not roll on the table.
• B2 now includes a copy of the Critical Hit table.
  • Magazine Explosion now causes 2D6 HP loss instead of D3+2.
  • Raging fire now causes D3+1 Raging fire makers, instead of D3 markers. It also no longer results in automatic AP loss.
  • Hard Pounding now causes the loss of 3 HP instead of 2 HP.
  • Sturgenium Flare now causes D6 HP loss.
  • There is a new column on the table called the Focused Critical Hit column. Players roll a D6 on this column in certain situations. The results are as follows:
    • 1 – Shredded Defenses
    • 2 – Generators Offline
    • 3 – Weapons Damage
    • 4 – Engine Failure
    • 5 – Navigational Lock
    • 6 – Chaos & Disarray

B3 – Disorder

• Disorder Test Resolution: One minor change to the list of conditions that trigger a Disorder check. The “Model in the Squadron Has Been Lost” bullet has been changed to say that a check is NOT required if  “Attached Escorts or Combat Air Patrols” are lost vice “Attached Escorts or Combat Patrols.”
• Command Coherency: Wording has been streamlined, but no functional changes.
  • The description of a coherency “daisy chain” has been removed.
  • The line about a squadron of a single model never being out of coherency was added.
  • Coherency distance remains 8”.

• Movement & Maneuvers
  • A revised and expanded diagram explaining the use of turning templates has been added.
  • The subsection on Minor Turning Corrections has been expanded with a paragraph discussing how these minor corrections are often used when lining up fixed channel arcs.
  • The Path of Least Disturbance subsection has been amended with a paragraph that states SAS trays no longer block movement. If a model would end its movement on top of the SAS tray, the tray is moved to a “location that is acceptable to both players.”
• Movement Consolidation
  • The line stating that Spotting Tests are done during Movement Consolidation has been removed.
• Collisions and Rams
  • There has been significant restructuring to the content of this subsection and the information is presented in a different order than in 2.0.
  • The Model Suffers Damage subsection has changed. Instead of a unique table, players now perform a D6 check, and on a 4+ they roll 1D6 on the Focused Critical Hits table.
  • Two pages of diagrams have been added to illustrate both the Ramming and Collision procedures.

C3 – Line of Sight

• Fire Arcs: The text descriptions for each of the fire arcs have been separated from their diagrams and consolidated into a single page. No change to the diagrams or descriptions.
• Minor change to the order in which diagrams are presented. No changes to the diagrams or LOS rules.

C4 – The Firing Segment

  • Subsection 2a, Determine the Basic “To Hit” Value:
    • The list of “To Hit” Caveats has been deleted.
  • Subsection 2b, To Hit Modifiers:
    • The positive modifier for “Target Painter Hit on Target Model” has changed from +N to a flat +1
    • The positive modifier for “Target is Spotted” has been deleted.

  • Indirect Fire:
    • IDF is now permitted if any model in the attacking force with the Spotter MAR has an unblocked line of sight to the target.
    • The bullet describing a bonus for Spotter Markers has been deleted. Markers are no longer used for Spotting.

    • Area Bombardment
      • The To Hit value has been changed to 4, 5, (RED) 6; formerly it was 5, (RED) 6
    • The firing option diagrams and examples have been moved to the end of C4.
• Weapons and Munitions (Was formally Section C5, and is now included in C4)

  • Energy Blast weapons gain the Barrage Munitions Type
  • When Energy Blast weapons are fired, the firing model now immediately gains a Generator Offline effect marker once the attack is complete.
• Particle Accelerators
  • Particle Accelerators no longer use the “traveling energy template” method for determining which models are hit. Instead, the Large Blast Template is placed in range and LOS of the firing model and any models touched by the template are hit with full AD.
  • The To Hit values for Particle Accelerators are now 3, 4, 5, (RED)6, instead of  5, (RED 6).
  • Particle Accelerators are still limited to Standard fire and can only target models in the same Height Level
• Flamethrowers
  • Flamethrowers now cause critical hits, but do not roll on the Critical Hit table. Instead they automatically cause Raging Fire criticals. If the attacker gets enough hits to cause multiple critical hits, this results in multiple Raging Fires.
  • Flamethrowers have gained the Barrage Munitions Type.
  • Flamethrowers can now only target models on the Surface height band.
  • The Heavy Flamethrower sub-type has been deleted.
• Speerschleuders
  • Speerschleuders have lost the High Angle and Sub Killer MARs.
• Special Munitions:
  • Barrage: A new munition type for 2.5. Attacks with Barrage Weapons ignore Shield Saves.
  • Concussive: A Critical Hit from a weapon with Concussive Munitions now causes the loss of 2 AP, instead of 1 AP.
  • Corrosive: Now only triggers if an attack with Corrosive Munitions causes a Critical Hit. Additionally, a Critical Hit with Corrosive Munitions now only places a single Corrosive marker on the target, instead of 2.
  • Incendiary: Incendiary Munitions are no longer considered Flame Weapons for the purposes of Defensive MARs.
  • Piercing: If an attack with Piercing munitions equals or exceeds a target’s DR, but not its CR, the target loses one HP and takes a roll on the Focused Critical Hit table. Only the effect (not the HP loss) is applied.
  • Magnetic Mines as a munitions type has been deleted.
• Mines (was formerly section C6, and is now included in C4)
  • Sentient Mines: These work the same way as the old Magnetic Mines Special Munitions type.
  • Mine Detonation Criteria: The exception for Tiny models has been deleted; Tiny models now detonate mines.
  • Node Projectors: Node Markers are now placed in the Command Consolidation step of an Activation, vice the Auxiliary Weapon Step.

C5 – The Boarding Segment (Was formerly C7)

• A new list of the general requirements was added to the beginning of the subsection. These are the same as in 2.0, but have been collected into a single list for clarity.
• The description of Aggressive and Friendly boarding, as well as the two types of Friendly boarding actions (Repair and Re-Crew) has been moved to the beginning of the subsection.
• The Boarding Procedure follows the same steps as before, but the following steps have had changes made to their procedures:
  • Nominate Targets and Assault Groups
    • Multiple models boarding a target now combine their AP into a single Assault Group
    • If the Assault Group makes up different crew types that have different To Hit values, they are kept separate (by using different colored dice, for example)
    • If AP is lost due to anti-boarding defences, the player that initiated the boarding action gets to choose which AP are lost.
  • Anti-Boarding Declarations
    • Changed to remove the reference to multiple assault groups.
  • Anti-Boarding Fire

    • Sabotage is now a 1D6 roll on the Focused Critical Hit column of the Critical Hit table.
  • Boarding Consolidation
    • There is now a procedure for the attacking AP that survived CQB and wasn’t used as a salvage/prize crew. These surviving AP are distributed among models in the assaulting squadron as the attacking player sees fit, though no model can exceed its starting AP value.
• Robot Boarding
  • Robot boarding has been moved to section C5 instead of being its own subsection in Section D.
  • The Robot Boarding procedure now has 6 steps instead of 5, with the 6th step being Boarding Consolidation.
  • Nominate Targets
    • Robots can now assault models within 2”, instead of needing to perform a Controlled Contact
  • Anti-Boarding Declarations
    • This section has been re-written to emphasize that anti-boarding fire against robots is resolved against their DR/CR.
  • Determine the Victor
    • If a robot causes a Critical Hit on its target in a boarding action, the player no longer rolls on the Critical Hit table. Instead, the target suffers an automatic Hard Pounding critical hit.
  • Boarding Consolidation
    • The assaulting robot now moves 2” directly away from the model it just assaulted, as a measure to mitigate collisions.
• Revised diagrams have been added at the end of C5 to cover both normal boarding and robot boarding actions.
