SETUP

Setup the map boards, map overlay pieces, markers and

igures according to the Scenario . Players choose their

nations. Green bases are American and grey are German

(in a 2 player game light/dark shades are ignored).

Each player shufles and places face down in his HQ area

any speciic Strategy card decks granted by the scenario,

then draws and places before him faceup cards as

required from any of his decks.

Each player takes any Operations cards (some affect both

players) granted by the scenario.

Each player takes his Initiative card and takes a supply of

activation , condition and damage tokens.

Place the round marker on space 1 of the round track .

Players build squads by customizing their squad bases

with a mix of scenario-provided infantry types.

The scenario indicates which player starts with the

initiative token and thus has the initiative.

In order of initiative, place all starting units on the game

board in deployment zones . Squads may start deployed in

transport vehicles.

A single hex may contain up to three units, but never

more than two vehicles.

A unit may move through a hex full of friendly units, but

may never end its movement exceeding a hex’s stacking

limit. If a unit’s movement is stopped in a full hex, the

unit is returned to the last non-full hex it moved from.

In order of initiative, mark any units in opportunity ire

mode with the activation token Op Fire side up.

ACTION PHASE

Most actions involve activating a single fresh unit (ie. one

with no activation token) to become the active unit .

When the unit has completed its action, it is fatigued

(unless in Op Fire mode) and an activation token with the

fatigued side faceup is placed by it. A fatigued unit, or a

unit in Op Fire mode, may not be activated.

ADVANCE

A unit may move , its distance limited by its movement

points (MPs) and terrain. While moving, it may also be

subject to enemy Op Fire , which may halt its movement.

CONCENTRATED FIRE

A unit may immediately make a concentrated attack

against an enemy unit. The attack may be supported .

PREPARE OP FIRE

Place an activation token Op Fire side up by the unit.

If an enemy unit moves within the unit’s LOS, the unit

may interrupt the enemy unit’s movement and attack it,

possibly supported by friendly units in Op Fire mode.

FIRE & MOVEMENT

A unit may move and attack an eligible enemy unit, either

moving then attacking or vice versa (a move may not be

broken up with an attack), subject to these penalties:

– a squad receives 1 fewer MP.

– a vehicle receives 2 fewer MPs.

– a unit must halve its FPR value when attacking.

– a unit may not make a long-range attack.

– other friendly units may not support the unit’s attack.

A unit that doesn’t attack still receives the move penalty.

A squad containing any heavy infantry weapon igure may

not be activated with this action.

ASSAULT

A squad may move with 1 fewer MP then make an assault

attack against an adjacent hex containing one or more

enemy units. A squad that doesn’t attack still receives the

move penalty. Vehicles, or a squad containing any heavy

infantry weapon igure, may not be activated with an

Assault action.

ACTIVATE STRATEGY CARD

Pay the command cost in command tokens and resolve an

eligible faceup Strategy card marked Action Phase . Most

Strategy cards are removed from the game after being

activated, but some have lasting effects.

FATIGUE UNIT

Do nothing: fatigue a unit and proceed to the next action.

SPECIAL ACTION

Special actions that require an action: as an action, do X.

End of the Action Phase

If a player can take no more actions during his action

turn, or if he declares it to be over, his Action Phase is

over and his opponent may take an unlimited number of

actions until he has none.

COMMAND PHASE

1. DETERMINE CONTROL OVER OBJECTIVES

Check every objective hex (those with a command

objective marker, a victory objective marker, or any

indicated by the scenario).

If control over an objective hex has changed, the new

owner replaces his opponent’s control marker with his own.

A player controls an objective if he has one of his control

markers on that hex, or if he is now capturing the hex by

having at least one friendly unit in it. He retains control of

a hex as long as his control marker remains on the hex.

Command Objectives

Command objectives are either nation-speciic or neutral.

A player may only gain command from controlling friendly

or neutral command objective hexes.

Usually all objectives are controlled by neither player at

the beginning of a game, though a starting unit may setup

on an objective in its nation’s deployment zone.

2. RECEIVE COMMAND & VICTORY POINTS

Receive Command

For each friendly or neutral command objective a player

controls, he receives the indicated amount of command

tokens.

Receive Victory Points

Collect victory points as dictated by the scenario, using

VP markers on the round track to keep track.

When a player reaches 11 VPs, lip the marker to its +10

side and move it back to the 1 space of the round track.

3. SPEND COMMAND

Each player may spend command tokens to activate

Strategy cards and increase their Initiative Pool (or other

scenario-speciic effects). A player may save up command

to spend during a later round.

Activate Strategy Cards

Pay the command cost in command tokens and resolve an

eligible faceup Strategy card marked Command Phase .

A player may activate as many of his available Strategy

cards as he can afford.

Most Strategy cards are removed from the game after

being activated, but some have lasting effects.

Increase Initiative Pool

A player may place some or all of his available command

onto his Initiative card , where it can accumulate round

after round. This command is then considered spent.

4. DETERMINE INITIATIVE

The player with the highest amount of command on his

Initiative card claims the Initiative token and has the

initiative next round.

If it is a tie, the token goes to the player who currently

does not have initiative.

In any timing conlict, the player with initiative decides

the order in which to resolve effects.

STATUS PHASE

1. DRAW STRATEGY CARDS

Each player draws one card from one of his Strategy decks.

If the irst card drawn contains a + symbol, the player may

immediately draw one additional Strategy card (not during

setup). No more cards can be drawn this round.

2. REMOVE TOKENS

1. Remove all activation tokens from the game board

(including tokens from squads being transported by

vehicles). All units are now considered fresh .

2. Remove all condition tokens from pinned squads.

3. All disrupted squads now become pinned (lip the

token). If there is an oficer in the same hex, the

condition token is removed instead.

4. Remove any expired markers (eg. smoke).

3. PLACE UNITS IN OP FIRE MODE

Players assign any number of their units to Op Fire mode.

They cannot then be activated during the upcoming

Action Phase, but they may react to enemy movement

from the very irst action of the next round.

4. SQUAD TRANSFERS

Players may move any number of igures between friendly

squads in the same hex.

Figures may not be transferred to or from a squad with

a specialization; a specialization token may not be

transferred; and igures may not be transferred to or

from pinned , disrupted or transported squads or those in

entrenchments or pillboxes.

An empty squad base is removed from the game.

5. SCENARIO REINFORCEMENTS & EVENTS

Players receive any reinforcements and resolve any special

events indicated by the scenario for this round. Scenario

reinforcements differ from Strategy card reinforcements.

Placing Reinforcements

Any reinforcements may only be placed in a nation’s

reinforcement zone (marked with an R).

Reinforcements cannot exceed a hex’s stacking limits

or be placed in a hex occupied by enemy units. Any

reinforcements missed in prior game rounds remain lost.

6. ADVANCE THE ROUND MARKER

Advance the round marker on the round track. Another

round begins. When the 11th round is reached, lip the

marker to its +10 side and move it back to the 1 space of

the round track.

If the round just completed was the last round of the

scenario, the game is over.

TURN SEQUENCE

The game is divided into game rounds , with each round

divided into phases started by the player with initiative.

1. ACTION PHASE

Players alternate taking the number of actions indicated

by the scenario until neither player has actions left.

Advance

Activate Strategy Card

Concentrated Fire

Assault

Prepare Op Fire

WINNING THE GAME

Different scenarios have different victory conditions. If, at

the end of a victory point scenario, both players have the

same number of VP, the player who has the initiative at

the end of the Status Phase is the winner.

MOVEMENT

A unit can only use its MPs for moving/special actions if

activated to Advance , Fire & Movement , or Assault .

A unit may not move into or through a hex containing an

enemy unit (except tank overruns ). MPs expended when

entering a hex depend on the terrain of the hex. Half

hexes cannot be entered.

Moving and Opportunity Fire

Immediately after the active unit moves into any hex, Op

Fire attacks by enemy units in Op Fire mode are resolved.

If the active unit becomes pinned , disrupted , or damaged

as a result of the Op Fire, it is immediately fatigued , and

its activation and movement ends. If the attack scores

no hits, or if a squad takes casualties as the result of a

normal attack, the active unit may continue moving.

A unit may be the target of Op Fire multiple times during

the same movement, but not more than once per hex.

A unit pinned , disrupted , or heavily damaged cannot be

moved until the condition is removed.

TRANSPORTING SQUADS IN VEHICLES

Squads may be transported on vehicles with the Transport

trait. The number shows how many may be transported.

The vehicle and squads count as only one unit for the

purpose of stacking. Use transport markers and their

corresponding offboard indicator tokens.

A squad may enter a vehicle in its hex for 2 MPs. The

squad is immediately fatigued and its action complete.

Fresh squads inside a vehicle may be activated, but

cannot ire or resolve special abilities. Vehicles do not

beneit from bonuses or abilities of squads inside them.

Squads inside a vehicle cannot be targeted for any type

of attack or affected by vehicle damage; only the vehicle

can be targeted. If a vehicle is destroyed, all squads

transported by it are also destroyed.

An active squad may exit a vehicle for 2 MPs , as long as it

does not then exceed stacking limits. Exiting may trigger

enemy Op Fire .

– Normal Range: less than/equal to attacker’s range.

– Long Range: greater than, to double, attacker’s range.

– Out of Range: greater than double attacker’s range.

The range is equal to that of the attacking igure in a

squad with the lowest range, though not all igures in a

squad must ire.

There are 3 elevation levels : level 0 (most board hexes,

grasslands, etc.), level 1 (low hill), and level 2 (high hill).

An attacking unit on a hex of a higher elevation than its

target receives +1 to its range value.

LINE OF SIGHT

There is a clear LOS if there is no blocking terrain (BT)

on a straight line between the centers of the two hexes.

BT does not block LOS to units in that hex. If the line

between the units is traced exactly along the edge of a

series of hexes, LOS is not blocked unless there is BT on

both sides of the line.

Units do not block LOS. Two adjacent units always have

LOS to each other.

If there is BT between units at different elevations, ind

the BT hex closest to the lower unit. A hill the same

level or lower than the unit on the higher elevation is

also considered BT. If the difference in elevation is 1,

the 2 hexes behind the closest obstruction are blind

hexes; if the difference is 2, the 1 hex behind the closest

obstruction is a blind hex. There is no LOS if the lower

unit is in a blind hex.

If the higher unit must ire or be ired upon across an

adjacent hex at its same level, there is no LOS.

RESOLVING AN ATTACK

1. Determine Attack Strength

FPR of attacking unit + half FPR of all supporting units

The FPR of a unit depends on whether the target is an

infantry or a vehicle unit, and is the cumulative value of

every igure.

2. Determine Defense Strength

AV of target + cover for terrain/fortiications

Only vehicles have armor values (AV). Effects that modify

cover do not affect armor, and vice versa.

3. Declare Attack Type

If the target is a squad, declare the attack a normal

attack or a suppressive attack . Vehicles are immune to

suppressive attacks.

4. Roll Attack & Determine Hits

Roll black dice equal to the attack strength and red dice

equal to the defense strength.

Determine black dice successes, based on range: Close

range: 4-6; Normal range: 5-6; Long range: 6. Subtract

red dice successes, which are always 5-6. The inal

number is the number of hits .

Normal Attack Results

Against Squads: remove igures equal to the number of

hits. A pinned or disrupted status is not affected.

Against Undamaged Vehicles: 1 or 2 hits: lightly

damaged ; 3 hits: heavily damaged ; 4+ hits: destroyed .

Against Damaged Vehicles: if a lightly damaged vehicle

takes 1 or 2 hits: heavily damaged ; 3+ hits: destroyed . If

a heavily damaged vehicle takes 1+ hits: destroyed .

A vehicle lightly damaged is -1 to movement and has -1 to

its AV. A vehicle heavily damaged may not move, has -1 to

its AV and its FPR is halved.

Suppressive Attack Results

Against a Normal Squad: 1 or 2 hits: pinned ; 3 hits:

disrupted ; 4+ hits: routed and destroyed.

Against a Pinned Squad: 1 or 2 hits: disrupted ; 3+ hits:

routed and destroyed.

Against a Disrupted Squad: 1+ hits: routed and destroyed.

COMBINED FIRE

When an active unit makes a concentrated or Op Fire

attack, other fresh friendly units eligible to attack the

target may support that attack with combined ire .

A supporting unit must be in range and LOS of the target.

The leading unit uses its full FPR and each supporting

unit half its FPR. All participating units in combined ire

become fatigued after the attack.

The least favourable range of the participating units is

used to determine the success number.

OPPORTUNITY FIRE

A unit in Op Fire mode may attack during the opponent’s

action turn when an enemy unit moves within its range

and LOS. Other fresh friendly units also in Op Fire

mode may support the attack with combined ire. All

participating units in Op Fire ire become fatigued after

the attack.

Note that if a unit’s FPR would be halved more than once

it cannot attack. Always round up when halving FPR.

AREA ATTACKS

Area attacks affect all units in a hex, may be normal or

suppressive, and succeed on 5 or 6. Each individual unit

rolls its defense dice and resolves its damage separately.

ASSAULT ATTACKS

Only squads without heavy infantry weapons igures may

make assault attacks. They are always normal attacks.

After movement, the assault attack is made against an

adjacent hex containing at least one enemy unit that does

not contain an enemy heavy vehicle .

An assaulting unit entering a hex with a mineield or razor

wire during its move may not assault that activation.

Up to 2 friendly squads in hexes adjacent to the target

hex may support the attack, even fatigued squads (but not

pinned or disrupted ).

1. Determine Attacker’s Attack Strength

FPR of attacking unit vs infantry + half FPR vs infantry of

all supporting units

2. Determine Defender’s Attack Strength

FPR of defending units and light vehicles vs infantry

Disrupted squads do not contribute, and pinned squads

contribute only half FPR (unless an oficer is present).

3. Roll Attack & Determine Hits

Attacker rolls black dice equal to his attack strength and

red dice equal to the defender’s terrain/fortiications.

Cover bonuses are cumulative. Light vehicles do not

contribute their AV.

Determine black dice successes, on 4-6. Subtract red

dice successes, on 5, 6. The inal number is the number

of attack hits .

5. Roll Defense & Determine Hits

Defender rolls black dice equal to his attack strength.

Determine black dice successes, on 4, 5, 6. This is the

number of defense hits .

6. Resolve Casualties

The attacker irst removes casualties from his active

squad, then his other participating units. Then the

defender removes casualties from any combination of his

defending units. Hits may be assigned to a light vehicle

up to the number required to destroy it.

If the defender’s hits equal to or exceed the attacker’s,

the attack is unsuccessful and the active unit fatigued .

If the attacker’s hits exceed the defender’s, the assault is

succcessful and the defender must retreat .

The defender must move all surviving units into a single

adjacent hex free of enemy units. Destroy units in excess

of stacking limits. If there are no hexes, destroy all units.

Disrupted units cannot retreat and are destroyed. Pinned

units become disrupted after retreating.

The active unit and any supporting units may now move

into the vacated hex and are fatigued . Supporting units

fatigued at the start of the attack may not advance. A

retreat or advance does not trigger Op Fire .

STRATEGY CARDS

Any cards ‘placed in your play area’ are only paid for when

initially activated and remain in effect from then on.

Establish Contact (X) Roll a die: equal or exceed the

number to establish contact. Another attempt may be

made as an action once every subsequent round until

successful.

Target Hex Place the target token on a board hex.

Determine Drift If the target hex is not within LOS of a

non- fatigued friendly unit, the drift number is 6. If within

LOS, it is 4. If the unit is within LOS and contains an

oficer or the hex is in the same hex or adjacent, it is 3.

Roll 1 red and 1 black dice. If the black result is equal

to/higher than the drift number the attack strikes the

target hex. If less, the attack drifts as many hexes as the

number on the black die, and in the direction on the north

directional marker shown by the red die.

The attack has no effect if the target drifts off the board.

Area Attack (X) Make an area attack against the inal

target hex using the strength given. If not designated

as suppressive it is a normal attack. The attack scores

successes on a 5 or 6 unless stated otherwise.

Wide Blast Radius (X) Hexes adjacent to the target hex are

attacked with the strength given. Roll each separately.

COMBAT

The range and irepower (FPR) of a unit are dependent

on whether the target is an infantry or a vehicle unit. An

attacking unit must be in range and have line of sight

(LOS) to the target unit.

If a hex contains multiple targets, and the attack is not

an area attack or assault , the iring player indicates which

exact squad or vehicle is to be the target of the attack.

A squad is eligible to attack an enemy unit if at least one

igure in that squad can do so. Any igures that cannot

participate do not contribute to the attack in any way. You

may always choose to have some igures in a squad not

participate in an attack.

RANGE

Compare the number of hexes to the target to the range

value of the attacking unit. Targets in adjacent hexes are

at close range . If the distance is:

ACTION PHASE

Alternate taking number of actions speciied by scenario.

A unit is fatigued after completing its action (unless in Op Fire ).

A unit fatigued or in Op Fire may not be activated.

COMMAND PHASE

TERRAIN BLOCK

ANTI-TANK GUNS

All anti-tank guns have the equipment trait as follows:

Advance The unit can only move 1 hex, and must move with a

friendly fresh unit (moving both units counts as a single action).

Concentrated Fire This action can only be performed if there is

a friendly squad, fresh or in op ire mode, in the same hex. The

squad is not activated by the action.

Squads that are in an entrenchment (but not a pillbox) may be

used to activate equipment in the same hex.

Equipment units may not perform F&M or Assault actions.

Cover

Equipment units in the same hex as at least 1 entrenchment

gain +1 cover. Equipment units do not gain any cover from

pillboxes in the same hex.

Assaulting equipment

When assaulted, equipment units do not add any dice; they

cannot be assigned hits and do not retreat.

Equipment units always count toward a hex’s unit limit.

Stealing equipment

If an enemy unit is in the same hex as the equipment, it is

treated as if it is a unit of their nation.

Equipment units do not prevent enemy units from moving into

the hex.

AT GUN SPECIAL ABILITIES

Fragile If an AT gun becomes heavily damaged, it is destroyed.

Concussive Firepower An AT gun attacking a squad in a building

or pillbox receives +3 FP and +3 range.

1. DETERMINE CONTROL OVER OBJECTIVES

Check every objective hex . If control over it has changed, the

new owner replaces his opponent’s control marker with his own.
