Need term equivalents


 

A Sci-Fi skirmish game I'm playing has tactics cards that say "Move It!" and "Out of Ammo."

"Move It!" gets a soldier going with another activation. Like "Get Off Your Arse and Move It!"

"Out of Ammo" is just that -- your soldier is out of ammo.

Now a friend and I are designing a fantasy version of the game and need "older" equivalents for these two terms. It could be something from ancient or medieval days.

Note that "ammo" now will include arrows, darts, spears, rocks (for slings).

I'm considering "Stand To!" for "Move It!" and "Depleted" for "Out of Ammo." But I throw this out to the group for ideas.

Thanks

Chuck


 

For “move out” you could use something like “Step it out!”?

You could stick with the classics:

"Once more into the breach!"

"Suffer the slings and arrows!"


 

I like those!

You could also modify a classic- "An arrow,an arrow, my kingdom for an arrow!?
