<dl><dd> <i>This article is part of Warmachine University's <b><a href="/index.php?title=Crash_Course_(101)" title="Crash Course (101)">Crash Course (101)</a></b> series, which is "Basic Training" aimed at new players who are still learning the core rules.</i></dd><br />
<dd> </dd><br />
<dd> <i>The 101 series is intended to <b>help</b> you understand the rulebook, but you shouldn't be reading this <b>instead</b> of the rulebook.</i></dd></dl><br />

<p><br/><br />
</p><p>Each player's turn is divided into 3 phases.<br />
</p><br />
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Player_Turn">Player Turn</span></h2><br />
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Maintenance_Phase">Maintenance Phase</span></h3><br />
<p>This is the "tidy up the previous turn" phase. You clear out any spells/effects that expired, you check to see if fire goes out and acid stops melting.<br />
</p><p>Several models have abilities that occur in the Maintenance Phase, this is often about spawning new models (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Reinforcements" title="Reinforcements">Reinforcements</a>) or acting out your revenge against enemies that hurt your friends (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Vengeance" title="Vengeance">Vengeance</a>).<br />
</p><br />
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Control_Phase">Control Phase</span></h3><br />
<p>This is the "interact with your battlegroup" phase. You figure out how much focus/fury you have on the board, and shuffle it around to where it needs to go.<br />
</p><p>Several models have abilities that occur in the Control Phase, this is often about making your focus/fury more efficient (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Arcane_Assist" title="Arcane Assist">Arcane Assist</a>) or just random free bonuses that would be overpowered if they could stack with Maintenance Phase abilities (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Apparition" title="Apparition">Apparition</a>).<br />
</p><br />
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Activation_Phase">Activation Phase</span></h3><br />
<p>This is where the actual gameplay occurs. You pick a model/unit and activate it, then the next, until you've done your entire army.<br />
</p><br />
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Game_Round_vs_Effect_Round">Game Round vs Effect Round</span></h2><br />
<p>A <b>Game Round</b> is just counting how long the game has gone. Each game round, every player takes a turn in the order established during setup. Once the last player in the turn order completes his turn, the current game round ends.<br />
</p><p>There are many <b>effects which last one round</b>. This is <i>not</i> equal to one Game Round. When a player triggers one of these effects it lasts until the start of their next turn, regardless of where that player's turn occurs in the Game Round. <br />
</p><p>Example<br />
</p><br />
<ul><li> <b>Game Round 1</b><br />
<ul><li> Player 1 takes their Turn 1</li><br />
<li> Player 2 starts their Turn 1<br />
<ul><li> Player 2 casts a spell that lasts for one round</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><br />
<ul><li> <b>Game Round 2</b><br />
<ul><li> Player 1 starts their Turn 2<br />
<ul><li> The spell stays in effect for the entirety of Player 1's second turn, even though it's a new Game Round.</li></ul></li><br />
<li> Player 1 finishes their Turn 2<br />
<ul><li>The spell immediately expires because the "one round" is complete.</li></ul></li><br />
<li> Player 2 starts their Turn 2</li></ul></li></ul><br />
