For King and Parliament - Color Summary Sheet

With quite a number of games with "For King and Parliament planned in the next 4 months, I figured it was time to develop my own Summary sheet for these rules. The ones provided are adequate, but I think they could cover a lot more of the play of the game. Here's what I came up with; I may see if I can squeeze a summary of the Pursuit rules in somehow as well!

Any officer who has joined a unit must test to see if he is injured each time that the unit is hit. The officer will fail to save on an Ace, and in this event must draw a further card to determine the extent of any injury:
10 or 11	The officer is killed (lost).
8 or 9	Officer retires from the field seriously wounded (lost). After the battle, draw a card to determine his fate.
5 to 7	Officer receives a light wound, carries on, but will be killed if he receives another light or serious wound
3 or 4	Officer takes a blow to the head and is stunned; for the remainder of this player turn, and the whole of the next friendly player turn he may not replay cards nor exert command; his units will likely be OOC
0 to 2	A manly scar is inflicted upon the officer; it has no impact on this battle
