2. An intervening fence, hedge or wall hexside
(excluding any one of the six hexsides of the
sighting or target hex) can block LOS.
3. LOS is always reciprocal: if unit A can see unit B,
then unit B can see unit A.
4. Intervening units do not block or hinder LOS.
5. An intervening hindrance reduces Accuracy/
Targeting rolls and FP by its listed LOS value.
▪ Hindrance that reduces FP to zero or less
prevents the Fire Attack entirely.
▪ Hindrance is not cumulative — only the

Artillery Denied
Break your opponent's Radio, OR eliminate it if it is
already broken (returned to the counter mix).
▪ NOTE: Nothing is activated during this Order.
Artillery Request
1. Player may choose “Battery Access,” OR
▪ Fix your broken Radio.
2. Choose “Fire For Effect.”
▪ Player must have an unbroken Radio, AND
▪ An unbroken and unactivated Leader.
Fire For Effect Procedure
1. Spotting: The Spotting Round
marker is placed in any hex within
LOS of the activated Leader, then
the player announces an Artillery
Barrage or a Smoke Barrage (if his
Radio allows).
2. Accuracy: Determine the range from the Leader
to the Spotting Round (add in any Hindrance),
make a die roll, and multiply the die values.
▪ Accuracy Result: A hit if die roll > range, and
a miss if die roll ≤ range.
▪ Hit: Reveal the next die roll. Use the Map
Compass to shift the Spotting Round marker
one hex in the direction of each die value.
▪ Miss: Reveal the next die roll. Use the Map
Compass to shift the Spotting Round marker
in the direction of the white die value, and by
the distance in hexes of the black die value.
▪ NOTE: Hit and Miss die rolls ignore triggers.
▪ NOTE: The Artillery Request Order ends the
moment a round drifts off the map.
3. Impact: The final target hex and the six
surrounding hexes constitute the impact area.
▪ If Smoke was announced, add a
random Smoke marker to each of
the seven impact area hexes,
OTHERWISE
▪ Conduct an Artillery Impact Roll against each
unit and fortification in the impact area
(active player determines the sequence).
▪ Consult the Artillery box on the Track Display
for Fortification Vulnerability values (cross
referenced by Radio FP). Fortifications are
destroyed if the Artillery Impact Roll is
exactly equal to the Radio's FV value.
▪ NOTE: A Jammed! Trigger does not break the
Radio during Artillery Request attacks.
Fire
1. A unit or Weapon must have an enemy unit in
LOS and Range in order to fire, or to participate
in a fire group (as a set of pieces).
2. A Weapon can be activated
when its owning unit is
activated, although it may
make a separate fire attack.
3. A Jammed! Trigger breaks
all firing Weapons, but the current fire attack
continues to resolve.
Individual Fire Attack
1. Attack Total = FP + Command ±1 for Elevation
‒ Hindrance + die roll
2. Defense Total (made by each unit in target hex)
= Morale + Command + Cover + die roll
3. Fire Attack Result: Break the enemy unit if
Attack Total > Defense Total. Suppress it if
Attack Total = Defense Total (if the enemy unit
is moving, break it instead). No effect if Attack
Total < Defense Total.
Fire Group Attack
(all Pieces must form a continuous chain of adjacent firing units)
1. Attack Total = FP +1 for each Piece + Command
±1 for Elevation ‒ Hindrance + die roll
2. Defense Total (made by each unit in target hex)
= Morale + Command + Cover + die roll
3. Fire Attack Result: Break the enemy unit if
Attack Total > Defense Total. Suppress it if
Attack Total = Defense Total (if the enemy unit
is moving, break it instead). No effect if Attack
Total < Defense Total.
▪ NOTE: Ordnance Weapons cannot participate
in a Fire Group.
Ordnance Weapon Accuracy Roll (Step 1)
(an Accuracy Roll must be passed before a Fire Attack can be made)
1. Accuracy: Determine the range from
the Ordnance Weapon to the enemy
unit (add in any Hindrance), make a
die roll, and multiply the die values.
2. Accuracy Result: Proceed with the Fire Attack (or
Smoke placement) if die roll > range, or end
this Weapon's Fire Order if die roll ≤ range.
Ordnance Weapon Fire Attack (Step 2)
1. Attack Total = FP ±1 for Elevation + die roll
▪ NOTE: Command and Hinderance modifiers
are excluded from an Ordnance Weapon's
Attack Total.
2. Defense Total (made by each unit in target hex)
= Morale + Command + Cover + die roll
3. Fire Attack Result: Break the enemy unit if
Attack Total > Defense Total. Suppress it if
Attack Total = Defense Total (if the enemy unit
is moving, break it instead). No effect if Attack
Total < Defense Total.
Move
1. A unit moves by expending MPs (accounting for
terrain/hexside costs) to enter a new hex.
2. A Weapon can be transferred from one unit to
another unit in the same hex for a cost of 1 MP.
3. Activated units can move together as a group if
they begin and end the Move Order in the same
hex (the group is limited by the unit with the
lowest Movement number).
4. Your opponent may play “Order/Action: Fire” (Op
Fire) anytime one of your units expends MPs to
enter a new hex.
5. Moving units may:
▪ Exit off the enemy map edge.
6. Moving units may NOT:
▪ Enter an enemy-occupied hex;
▪ Cross a Cliff hexside;
▪ Enter an impassable hex;
▪ Enter or exit a Major Bridge hex across
anything other than a Road or Rail hexside;
▪ Exit off the left, right or friendly map edge.
7. After each MP expenditure, the inactive player
must play all Actions he wishes before the
active player may play his first.
8. Road: A unit gains +1 to its Movement number
if it entered a Road hex during a Move Order.
Recover
1. Recover activates a player
(himself), not a unit.
2. A player must have friendly
Broken and/or Suppressed units in
play to Recover.
3. Players may Recover or Rout only once per Turn.
Recover Procedure
1. Remove all Suppressed markers from friendly
units.
2. Recover Total = Morale + Command + Cover
3. Make a Rally Roll for each unit that was Broken
at time the Order was given (active player
chooses sequence).
4. Recover Results: Unit Rallies if Recover Total >
Rally Roll. Suppress it if Recover Total = Rally
Roll. No effect if Recover Total < Rally Roll.
Rout
1. Rout activates a player, not a unit.
2. A player must have a friendly
Broken unit in play to Rout.
3. Players may Rout or Recover only
once per Turn.
4. The player who played the Rout Order chooses
the sequence in which the units Rout.
Rout Procedure (Step 1)
2. Rout Total = Morale + Command + Cover
3. Make a Retreat Roll for each unit that was
Broken at time the Order was given.
4. Rout Results: Unit Retreats if Rout Total <
Retreat Roll. Suppress it if Rout Total = Retreat
Roll. No effect if Rout Total > Retreat Roll.
Retreat Procedure (Step 2)
1. If a unit Retreats, it Retreats a number of hexes
equal to Retreat Roll ‒ Rout Total.
2. A player Retreats his own units.
3. Each hex a unit retreats into must bring it closer
than the previous hex to the owner’s map edge.
4. Items to ignore when units Retreat:
▪ MPs and Terrain Costs;
▪ “Order/Action: Fire” (Op Fire);
▪ Wire effects.
5. Retreating units do suffer Mine Attacks normally.
6. Retreating units are eliminated if they:
▪ Enter an enemy-occupied hex;
▪ Cross a Cliff hexside;
▪ Enter an impassable hex;
▪ Exit off its friendly map edge.
Actions
1. Multiple Actions may be played in response to
the same game situation, and the effects of
those Actions are cumulative.
2. If both players wish to play Actions
simultaneously, the inactive player must
perform all his actions first before the active
player may play his first.
3. “Order/Action: Fire” (Op Fire) is the only Action
which activates something.
Opportunity Fire (Op Fire)
1. Played by the inactive player after his opponent
expends one or more MPs during a Move Order.
▪ Only one Op Fire attack is allowed per
movement expenditure (hexside crossing).
▪ Target hex must be the newly entered hex.
2. An Inactive player interrupts a Move Order to:
▪ Play an “Order/
Action: Fire” card,
activate one or
more units, Weapons, or Leader (no
Ordinance) to fire at the target hex, AND/OR
▪ Fire at target hex with one or more units,
Weapons, or Leader that were activated for
Op Fire during the same Move Order.
3. Units activated for Op Fire remain activated to
fire at targets for the duration of a Move Order.
4. Once a Move Order is finished, the Op Fire units
cannot be activated again this Turn.
