SPECIAL RULES
Assault
(v3 page 96) This weapon suffers no penalty 'to hit' when moving and shooting. In addition, infantry models armed with an assault weapon count as having the
Tough Fighters special rule (Tough Fighters: When a model with this special rule fails to damage in close quarters against enemy infantry or artillery units, it can
re­roll the failed rolls to damage)

Flak
(v3 page 117) All enemy with the Flak special rule automatically fire at the attacking aircraft if the token model lies within their range and firing arc, regardless of
whether they have already taken an action or not that turn. Flak fire does not require an action and takes place outside of the normal turn sequence. Firing a
pintle­mounted machine gun flak weapon against an attacking aircraft does not make the vehicle count as open­topped for the turn. Any flak units in Ambush
retain their Ambush status if they shoot at an aircraft. Hidden lose their hidden status. Friendly units must test to hold their fire (Inexperienced 4+, Regular 3+,
Veteran 2+) ­ in case of Rookie pilot all flak units open fire automatically. Measure range ­ Line of Site ignored. Flak weapons not pinned hit on 5+, pinner hit
on 6 ­ ignore all other modifiers. If HE hits, multiply as for inside a building. If 3 or more hits, shot down.

Green
(v3 page 120) Green units are inexperienced and have a morale rating of 8. The first time the unit suffers a casualty, roll a die (after taking any morale checks
caused by the attack). On a roll of a 1 the unit suffers an additional D6 pin markers and goes Down. There is no further effect. On a 2, 3, 4, or 5 the unit fights
on. There is not further effect. On a 6 the unit is immediately up­rated to Regular with a morale value of 9 for the rest of the battle.

Motorbikes
(v3 page 120) Moves at 12" at an Advance and 24" at a Run with the same movement rules and restrictions as Wheeled vehicles, except they may make any
number of turns as they move. Cannot enter builders or board transports. Do not benefit from any advantage from going/being Down. Can react by making and
escape move in the same way as recce (at normal move, not double speed). Can dismount as part of any Advance move and fight as infantry, but cannot
remount. Motorcycle riders cannot shoot while moving. Cannot assault and if assaulted can make an escape move as for other recce vehicles. If attacked at
close quarters each man fights as infantry (including sidecar passengers if equipped). Regroup 2D6" rather than D6".

Open­topped
(v3 page 149) Pinned by hits from small arms in the same way as soft­skins and infantry. If assaulted by infantry, open­topped armoured vehicles are destroyed
automatically if the vehicle is damaged, in the same way as for soft­skins. If hit against top armour then add an additional +1 to the damage result roll. Note that
all hits upon the upper surface of armoured vehicles count +1 penetration regardless of whether the target is open or not ­ so open­topped armoured vehicles
suffer a double penalty: +1 penetration and +1 damage result

Recce Infantry Platoon


The platoon must include enough transport vehicles (either soft­skin or armoured) to transport all models in the infantry units in the platoon.
All these transports vehicles must have the Recce special rule, or must be given the Recce special rule at +10pts, even if its entry does not normally allow this
option.
The only infantry units that are an exception to this, and which cannot have a transport vehicle, are the units with the Cavalry or Motorcycles special rules.
These units can be included in the platoon without having to give them a transport, but they must be mounted on either horses or motorcycles if they have the
option.

Stubborn
(v3 page 122) If forced to take a morale check, they ignore negative morale modifiers from pin markers. Remember that order tests are not morale checks, and
are therefore modified as normal.

Team (2 men)
(v3 page 103) A Team weapon shoots at full effectiveness so long as there are at least two team members to serve it. If only one man remains to serve a team
weapon, then the weapon suffers a ­1 'to hit' penalty. For squad­based team weapons, loader must remain within 1" or weapon suffers the ­1 to­hit penalty.

German Army Special Rules


Blitzkrieg
German officers using the 'You men, snap to action!' ability can take one additional order die from the bag and assign it as normal. In other words, a German
platoon commander takes three dice, a company commander takes five!

Initiative Training
If an infantry squad's NCO is killed, roll a D6. On the score of a 1, the NCO is removed as normal. On the roll of a 2 or higher, one of the other troopers takes
over the squad and leads it just as effectively as before. To represent this, leave the NCO in place and remove any other model instead (it is assumed the new
'squad leader' swaps his weapons with the ones carried by the NCO, if different). If the NCO is successfully replaced the unit does not suffer the usual ­1
morale penalty for losing its NCO.

Hitler's Buzz Saw


German light and medium machine guns fire one extra shot. Note that this applies to all light and medium machine guns, both those carried by the infantry units
and vehicle­mounted ones.
