Does This Belong in My Campiagn? The Player’s Option combat system is an integrated set of rules that dovetails with the later chapters in this book. However, you don’t have to use this chapter in order to make use of the other systems.

This chapter presents several new combat actions, restructures the AD&D initiative system, and introduces retreats, fatigue, and critical events. Most of the material assumes that you will use these rules with character and monster miniatures on some kind of map. If you don’t want to run combat like this, you’ll still find that the new initiative system and actions can be used without any figures or maps at all.
