Hawaiian Spearmen may move their maximum movement and throw a spear within 2" inches at a target.

Flames of the Islands

At the unit's card, or during the medic phase instead of healing, the Fire Dancer may perform the traditional Flames of the Islands Dance

All gnomes within 12 inches must roll a d6 to see if they are mesmerized by this dance. On a 3+, they are mesmerized and can only move half speed their following turn. No gnome who sees the dance would have the heart to shoot upon the Fire Dancer. The Fire Dancers's own unit is not affected by the dance.

Healing Fire (Medic)

The Fire Dancer has the normal 12 inches of movement each turn.

During the "Medic!" phase at the end of the game turn, they gain an additional 18 inches of movement to attempt to save fallen troops. Attempting to save one figure costs three inches of movement.

Fire Dancers save figures on a 5+ on d8

The Island Critter

The Island Critter may deploy within 24 inches of the unit, hiding in any unoccupied cover. It is unable to be hit in heavy cover

Treat as in heavy cover if in light cover.

Wild Boar Cavalry
Movement allowance for Boar Cavalry is 16 inches per turn. Ignore movement penalties for forests and jungle.

Figure		Die for Melee
Cavalry - Charging		10 sided +2
Cavalry - Mounted		10 sided
Unmounted Boar		8 sided +2

Charging:

Roll a d6 and add it to the boar movement. The unit must be formed in either line or 2 ranks to charge. The cannot move into or through buildings, bunkers, or trenches

Random direction - straight line until hits hard obstacle or leaves the board. If it goes into jungle or forest terrain, remove from board.

After completion of medic phase, roll for each fallen cavalry figure. On a 5+ on d8, the rider was killed and the boars are rampaging around.

Unmounted Boars move 16 inches per turn in a straight line, turning randomly when meeting an obstacle. They can NOT jump, and are removed from the board

If they encounter a forest, swamp, on jungle terrain. remove from board
