PRIORITY PHASE (PG.

20)
If not stated by the scenario, in narrative play the good side always has priority
on the first turn. In matched play always roll off for priority on the first turn
(rerolling ties). When rolling off, each side rolls 1D6.
Regardless of the type of game, from turn two onwards, roll off for priority. In
the event of a tie, priority passes to the player who didn’t have it last turn.
