Editing Crusade Rules (section)

==Out of Action==
After a battle, all models from your army that were destroyed in the battle are restored to your Order of Battle; any wounds they have lost are likewise regained. This represents units replenishing their numbers, wounded warriors returning to the fray, and battle tanks being recovered and repaired for their next battle. The only lasting effects are any Battle Scars the unit has acquired, as described below.

After the battle, before you have determined the total number of experience points each unit gains, you must first take an Out of Action test for each unit in your army that has a Crusade card that was destroyed in that battle. You do not have to test for a unit that was destroyed but was subsequently returned to the battlefield during that battle - only roll for units that are destroyed at the end of the battle.

To take an Out of Action test, roll one D6 for that unit. On a 2+ the test is passed and nothing happens. On a 1, the test is failed; you must now choose one of the following options for that unit:
*'''Devastating Blow''': That unit loses D6 experience points (to a minimum of 0) and cannot gain experience points from this battle from Agendas Achieved, Battle Experience or from being Marked for Greatness (see Crusade Mission Pack). Update its Crusade card accordingly.
*'''Battle Scar''': That unit gains one Battle Scar (see below). This must be determined before the players next battle and the unit’s Crusade card must be updated to reflect any and all changes.
''Note that even if a unit loses experience points it does not lose any rank (or any associated Battle Honours) it had previously achieved, but neither will that unit be promoted again (and hence gain a Battle Honour) if it subsequently regains these lost experience points.''

===Battle Scar===
Subtract 1 from a unit’s Crusade points for each Battle Scar it currently has. Note that some factions may have their own Battle Scar tables in addition to the ones below.
