RULES AMENDMENT

Instead of the Shatter and Shove effects as published in the Maximus and Magna rules (bonus claims to neighbouring files), this competition will instead use the Pacto rules for these effects. These are:

Shatter – gives an immediate bonus roll with a GREEN dice.

Shove – gives an immediate bonus roll with a WHITE dice, and this counts in charge combat and melee combat.
