Each unit is equipped with weapons that miniatures may contribute to Attack Pools. Every weapon has a Range and dice it contributes to an Attack Pool when used by a miniature during an attack.Some weapons have keywords associated with them, called weapon keywords. Weapons on Upgrade or Command Cards sometimes have their own surge charts.A weapon with a
icon is a Melee weapon, and a weapon with a blue Range icon is a Ranged weapon. A weapon with both a
icon and one or more blue Ranged icons can be used as a Melee weapon or a Ranged weapon, chosen when the weapon is added to an Attack Pool - treat the weapon as that type for the duration of the attack sequence.An Attack Pool that contains Melee weapons is a Melee attack, while an Attack Pool that contains Ranged weapons is a Ranged attack.
