A change of possession to the defender means they can resume play with any actions from the Any Other Scenario explained later.

It’s up to you how you match the unique attributes of your players to the style of football you want to play. Run the injury check as normal as the severe LENIENCY check, success gives a yellow card and fail gives a red card. Choose the player to aim the pass to a make a HIGH PASS check with the passing player, looking for 8+ to land in the hex you have chosen. For me, I think if you like football, if you enjoy strategy games, if you like board games, if you ever wanted to manage a team if you think card drafting is fun or if you just appreciate round counters you should own Counter Attack. There is also a small sturdy box included for player cards, as good a quality as a regular board game box, and enabling us to hold all the cards neatly and protected in one place.Before the kick both players get to move one player 3 hexes, then you choose what type of kick to take, either continue with the high pass, which can go to any hex inside the penalty area without distance restriction, or a low pass which is treated as a first-time pass. There are times in some games when it feels like the dice are broken and the only reason you lost is luck but this is true for all games that use dice and when I sit and think about it, on balance, it’s a great system.

The defending manager may then rearrange his team counters if he wants, but no players may be placed inside the centre circle.Now you should be an expert in the rules so get practicing those match tactics and remember to always hit your opponent on the Counter Attack. It doesn’t matter about the dice if you have moved past a defender and that defender is focused on stopping someone else or you manage to get through and put a ball right where you want it so that you can knock a goal in. If the ball does not hit any players but ends in a defender's ZOI then they can attempt to attract it to them with a TACKLING check of 10+ or a 6, a successful check meaning they bring the ball into their hex. Penalty - Both teams will move their players, only 2 players may remain inside the penalty area and arc, the spot kick taker and the goalkeeper.
