Translated extract from Ahnenerbe field report
Doktor Friedrich Schuler
Chief Expedition Scientist

08-08-1938, Tibetan Plateau

…We marched eight days out from Kathmandu, to a truly remote and desolate monastery, clinging to the side
of a near vertical, frozen slope. In the bowels of this ancient structure, deep within the rock itself, lies a portal
of even greater antiquity, and it is herein we encountered and conversed with the being.

It has the outward appearance of a man, albeit taller than average, fair skinned, gracile, hairless, and with
uniquely pointed physiognomy. It was clad in armour reminiscent of our glorious Teutonic forebears, yet of
modern design and powered by an unknown energy source we believe to be Vril!

It communicates by means of a device mounted at the collar of its armour, which broadcasts its strange,
sibilant, rasping tongue in a perfect approximation of our own German language.

It claims the title of Herald of the Vatari Dominion, and that it has arrived in this place via the ancient portal
located herein. For now we can only take the being’s word for this, as the portal is inert, and seems no more
than an elaborate stone carving of great antiquity.

The Herald seeks to parley with the Leadership of the Reich, and promises to share advanced technology
in return for building a new portal similar to one in the temple, so that more of its kind can come to Earth.

The being readily submitted to our questioning, and it is our intention to comply with its request and bring
it to Berlin. If our theories are correct, these Vatari once came to Earth in the distant past, and civilised the
primaeval tribes. I personally believe them to be the original Aryan race from which our true Nordic people are
descended. As such they should be afforded every courtesy and given all possible assistance.

Spacemen Do Their Bit

Ever since the so called Vatari Dominion’s flying saucers accompanied Tojo’s Zeroes on that black day in
December at Pearl Harbor last year, our boys have been on the back foot against these sinister space invaders.
But since then, a new bunch of little green men have come on the scene, and they ain’t green and they sure as
heck ain’t little.

At a historic press conference held at the White House yesterday, President Roosevelt announced the United
States formal alliance with the Skarn Federation.

So who are these Skarn fellows? Washington sources say their true place of origin is a planet called Vhog,
meaning Meridian in their language. It’s a bit bigger than Earth, and located in the Cygnus constellation, about
500 light years away. That’s a heck of a ways to come, but they say back home they were enslaved by the no-good
Vatari, then when the planet started dying, their erstwhile masters abandoned them to come here and join up
with the Axis. They got the transportation machines working, and somehow ended up in our great nation.
The scuttlebut has it that they just turned up in New Mexico a few months ago, marching out of a cave and asking
to “Take us to your leader.”.

They’re big, ugly hombres, and don’t speaka da English too well, but when asked what they were here for,
the message was loud and clear: “Kill Vatari!”

Well, that’s something we can all get behind. Welcome to America, friends.

Components
To play Exo Alliance '42 you will require the following:
● A 4’x4’ playing area, plus terrain pieces
● 2 Platoons of miniatures, plus platoon rosters
● Tape measure or ruler
● Area effect templates
Setup
Exo Alliance '42 is a set of rules and a model range
that allows you to add sci-fi elements to your 28mm
WWII armies and fight fast-paced platoon-level
battles with them. The set up described here is for
two equally matched platoons meeting and fighting.
For more advanced setup options, see the Scenarios
section at the end of this rule book.

● Combat Dice. Rolled to attack enemy models:

Build Your Platoons
Each player needs a Platoon to play a game of
● Light dice for small arms fire and traditional Exo Alliance '42. A platoon consists of the following
melee weapons elements:

● Heavy dice for high explosives and other heavy
weapons
● Activation Dice/Counters. Used to indicate a
state that a model is in, all are mutually exclusive.
States represented on the dice are:
● Platoon Leader: This is an individual model that
can issue orders to any other models in the
platoon
● Units: Each platoon consists of 2-4 units.
Typically a unit is a squad of infantry

� Pinned � Unlike similar games, Exo Alliance '42 does

not operate a points system, and units are
� Retreating
balanced for fair play
� Overwatch
� Both players should have the same number
� Covering Fire of units, which will be decided by you before
you play
� Activated
● Add-ons: Add-ons are special weapons teams,
� Occupied fire-teams, vehicles, etc., such as a machine gun
team or a mortar team. They are usually smaller
in number than infantry units

● You may have one add-on in your platoon for

each unit you have

● The add-on is considered part of the unit it is

attached to for the purposes of some rules, so it
is important during play to keep track of which
add-ons go with which units

6

Profiles
Each model in your platoon has a profile that
determines how it is used in battle, how far it can
move, how effective it is in combat, and any special
Special Rules it may possess. Here is a typical profile
representing URSUS Knights, elite power armoured
infantry of the Vatari forces.
Name: The first entry on the profile is the name of
the model, in this case URSUS Knight
Role: Next to name, the role of the model is
displayed, in this case Infantry. Role is important in
determining how the model moves and utilises cover:
● Infantry may move up to 6”
● Walkers may move up to 8”
● Vehicles may move up to 12”
Armour: Armour is represented by a shield symbol
next to the model’s role. If there is no shield symbol,
then the model has no armour.
7
■ Sample profile
● represents light armour, for example the
power armour worn by some alien infantry, or
light skinned vehicles
● represents heavy armour, such as tank
armour
For more details on how armour works, see the
Combat section later
Combat Stats: The middle section of the profile
displays how many dice the model rolls, and of what
type, when attacking at different ranges. There are
three ranges, close, medium and long, and two types
of combat dice, light dice representing small arms
fire and melee weapons, and heavy dice representing
high explosives and other heavy weapons For more
detail, see the Combat section of the rule book later
Special Rules: Special Rules are rules that allow the
unit to perform special actions, or behave differently
in certain situations. In this case, URSUS Knights
wield power weapons called Vril Axes that can carve
through armour in melee combat.
Playing Area ● If you don’t have fixed terrain, just dice for it

Exo Alliance '42 is designed to be played on a 4’x4’
playing area with two platoons, and all ranged
weapons are effective within that space. You can go
bigger if you like, and add more platoons, but if you
do so, apply the following rule:
● The maximum attack range of all models is 48”
� You and your opponent roll a die each and the
player with the highest score gets to pick and
place the first piece of terrain
� Alternate placing pieces of terrain until all
the terrain you wish to use is on the playing
area

You and your opponent should agree on an amount � Use this method if you’ve decided which side

Terrain
We don’t have hard and fast terrain rules in Exo
Alliance ‘42, generally go with what works for you and
your setup. If you're playing tournaments for
example, and need something more specific, we
suggest you draft your own, detailed rules for terrain
placement. With that said, there will be rules for how
models interact with terrain, particularly with regard
to combat, so here are some suggestions.
● A Terrain “piece” can be a single object, such as
a house, or a cluster of objects representing an
area when placing, such as a stand of trees or
undergrowth
● Each terrain piece should probably be no more
than 6” on a side if you’re using an alternating
placement method
� You can place more pieces of the same type
near existing placement to create larger
areas of a terrain type
● Long, linear terrain pieces, such as rivers should
probably enter on one side of the table, and exit
on a different side
● If you have long, impassable features such as
walls or deep rivers, there should be gaps or
crossing points every 12” or so
Examples
Here are some examples of terrain pieces you
might include in your games.
Stand of Trees
3-4 trees arranged in a cluster that allows infantry
to move between them and take cover, but blocks
access for vehicles.
Bog
An area of difficult ground that reduces the
movement of models, but provides no cover.
Pond
An impassable obstacle that models must move
around.
Farmhouse
A small, single story building that can be occupied
by a single squad of infantry. Infantry occupying
a building like this can still be attacked by
enemies, but they receive cover bonuses.
Low Wall
Provides good cover for infantry. Infantry can also
move across it with a movement penalty for
difficult terrain, but it counts as impassable to
vehicles.

● The Combat section contains rules for River

them with an occupied marker

To Battle!
You’ve got your playing area all set and your
respective forces are ready to go, so here’s how you
play.
Rounds
Exo Alliance '42 plays out over a series of rounds
until one side is victorious.
● Victory is achieved when the losing player either
concedes defeat, or has no models left that can
be given actions at the beginning of a round
A round has several distinct phases, which are
carried out in order, as follows:
1. Compulsory Moves
2. Initiative
3. Actions
4. Clean Up
Compulsory Moves
In the first round of battle there will be no compulsory
moves. Once the battle is underway, models that
begin a round with a retreat counter on them must
move their maximum move rate towards their side
of the playing area.
● Starting with the player who had initiative on the
previous round, move all models with retreat
counters on them
� Models must take the shortest route
possible, avoiding obstacles, to reach their
table edge
� If this move causes a model to move off the
playing area, that model is considered to
have fled the battle and is removed from play
� Retreating models that occupy buildings
should be placed at the closest entrance to
their table edge, then moved away from the
building, as described in the previous bullets
● Once this player has moved all of their retreating
models, their opponent does the same
11
Initiative
With compulsory moves out of the way, it is time to
determine who has initiative during the round.
● Both players roll a die, and the highest score is
the winner
● The winner has the initiative and can choose to
take the first action, or make their opponent take
an action first
Actions
Each player gets 1 action per unit they start the game
with.
● As casualties mount during the course of play, a
player will lose an action point if all models in a
unit, plus any associated add-on models, are lost
An action can be used to activate a single model to
perform an order such as move, attack or take up an
overwatch position, or it can be used to activate an
officer who can in turn give an order to multiple
models, such as covering fire or suppressive fire and
have them carry it out simultaneously. Some officers
can also be activated to call in off-table support such
as artillery strikes on enemy positions.
● Once a model has been activated and performed
the desired action, it cannot be used again until
the following round. Place an activation counter
next to it
● Orders given by leaders can be used to activate
models within 8” of the leader model. Models
outside of this range may be given different
actions during the round
� Orders given by Platoon Leaders may be used
to activate all of the models in any friendly
unit or add-on
� Orders given by Squad Leader may be used
to activate all of the models in the squad,
including the leader
● Models that do not participate in actions ordered
by leaders may be used for other actions (e.g. an
LMG specialist may take up an overwatch
position, while the rest of his squad advance with
the sergeant)
These are the actions you can perform:
Move
Move a single model up to the maximum distance
determined by its role.
● If the model encounters impassable terrain it
must move around or stop
● If the model encounters difficult terrain, such as
a mud filled crater or a low wall the model, then
any remaining move it has is halved as it
struggles through the mud, or shins over the wall
● Models occupying buildings should be placed at
an entrance, then moved as described above
● Place an activation marker next to the model on
resolving the action
Forward
Forward is an order given by a leader to move
multiple models up to the maximum distance
determined by their roles.
● Place activation markers next to the models on
resolving the action
Attack
Move a single model up to half the maximum distance
determined by its role to take up a firing position,
then roll attack dice against an enemy target.
See Combat later for rules on what you can
target, modifiers to the dice rolls, and results.
● Models occupying buildings can attack out of any
windows or doorways
� If you decide to move, then place the model
at any entrance and move it away from the
building, as described above
● Place an activation marker next to the model on
resolving the action.
Blitz
Blitz is an order given by a leader to attack with
multiple models. Move the models up to half the
maximum distance determined by their roles, and roll
attack dice against enemy targets.
12
● Each model moves and attacks individually, and
is subject to the usual targeting rules, modifiers,
etc (See Combat rules later)
● Place activation markers next to the models on
resolving the action
Charge
Charge is an order given by a leader to attack with
multiple models with the Melee special rule.
● Each model moves and attacks individually
● See the Melee special rules later for details on
how to move and attack with models during a
charge
● Place activation markers next to the models on
resolving the action
Overwatch
A model on Overwatch is waiting to respond to enemy
movement within an area to their front.
● Place an overwatch marker next to the model,
with the pointer in the direction the model is
covering
� If the model is occupying a building, place the
overwatch marker so it is pointing out of a
window or doorway
● The model may choose to roll attack dice against
on any enemy model that moves within close or
medium range, and within a 90 degree arc of the
Overwatch counter’s pointer
� This interrupts the enemy model’s move
� If the attack dice fail to cause any
suppression (see Combat later), your
opponent may complete the move
� If the model is destroyed, remove it from play
as normal
� For any other result, the model’s action ends
where the player chose to exercise their
overwatch attack
● Models on overwatch can remain so indefinitely
as the counters are not removed during the clean
up phase of the round. Counters are removed
when:

On models’ profiles you will see three different range Exo Alliance '42 uses special 6-sided dice to
bands: close, medium and long. When attacking, determine combat results. The white ones are for

melee weapons, and the red ones are for heavy
● Close: Up to 6” attacks such as high explosives and armour piercing
rounds.
● Medium: 6-24”
Here’s what each result means:
● Long: 24”+

In order to determine the range to a target when

attacking it, measure from the edge of the attacking
model’s base to the edge of the target.

● If the target is in a building, measure to any

window or door in that building. If you don’t have the special combat dice, you can use
ordinary d6s (six sided dice). Use the following table
to convert d6 results:

D6 result Light Dice Heavy Dice

1 No Result No Result
E 2 No Result No Result
D 3 No Result 1 Hit
4 1 Hit 1 Hit
5 1 Hit 2 Hits

medium and long range, but as distances are
measured from edge of base to edge of base, it counts
as being at medium range.

16
Special Rules
Special Rules are listed on models’ profiles, and
represent abilities, training,or equipment used by the
model. In most cases these rules will allow models to
perform certain unique actions, or benefit from
advantages conferred by the rule. In a limited number
of cases Special Rules also account for restrictions
on how the models can be used during a game.
Grenade
Many regular infantry carry a limited number of
grenades that can be used at close range to clear
infantry out of cover positions, or to disable armour
by perhaps throwing a track.
● You may give a Grenade action to a model that
has the Special Rule
� Each model only has 3 uses of the action per
game, so after they complete a grenade
action, mark it off on their roster. After 3
uses, the model may not be given the action
again
● Models occupying buildings can lob grenades out
of any windows or doorways
● Place the small, circular area effect template
anywhere within close range of the model
performing the action
● Roll 1 heavy die against each enemy model
touched by the template
● You can also throw grenades into structures. If
you do so, there must be a window or door within
close range of the attacking model
� Do not place a template, just roll 1 heavy dice
against each occupant of the structure
● Place an activation marker next to the model on
resolving the action
Demolition
Demolition is a limited use close range attack used
by engineers and some special forces to destroy
structures and enemy armour.
● You may give a Demolition action to a model that
has the Special Rule
17
� Each model only has 1 use of the action per
game, so after they complete a demolition
action, mark it off on their roster so it cannot
be used again
● The target must be within close range and LOS
● If the target is an enemy vehicle or walker, roll 1
heavy die and apply the result
● If the target is a structure, roll 1 heavy die
� If the target is a hardened structure, it is
destroyed if the result is 3 hits. otherwise it
is unharmed
� If the target is a normal structure it is
destroyed if the result is 2 or more hits
● Place an activation marker next to the model on
resolving the action
Platoon Leader
Platoon Leader is an officer Special Rule that enables
them to give orders to troops under their command,
activating multiple models, and ignoring the usual
target priorities.
● See the list of Actions for more details on the
orders that can be given by officers
● Actions initiated by officers change target
priority rules if they involve directly attacking
enemy models (i.e. Blitz)
� Instead of attacking the nearest enemy
model in LOS, models may choose the
nearest enemy model in LOS from a different
enemy unit as the target (e.g. there is a
closer enemy infantry squad, but the
sergeant issuing the order determines a
more distant machine gun team to be the
greater threat)
● Platoon Leader allows the officer to give orders
to any models in the Platoon
Squad Leader
Squad Leader is an officer Special Rule that enables
them to give orders to troops under their command,
activating multiple models, and ignoring the usual
target priorities.
 ● See the list of Actions for more details on the
orders that can be given by officers
● Actions initiated by officers change target

closer enemy infantry squad, but the
sergeant issuing the order determines a
more distant machine gun team to be the
greater threat)
● Squad Leader allows the officer to give orders to
any models in their Squad
Camouflage
Models with the Camouflage Special Rule may not be
attacked if there are other targets available.
● This overrides Special Rules that allow models to
ignore target priority rules, such as Tactical
Training and orders given by officers
● If models with Camouflage are attacked, they
gain 1 against attacks that originate from
beyond close range
Tactical Training
Models with tactical Training can ignore target
priories and choose any legitimate target in LOS
when attacking.
Mortar Team
Mortars are used by weapon teams to provide light
artillery support for their platoon. Mortars can clear
infantry from cover and damage armour.
● When a Mortar Team is given a Mortar action,
both models are activated and perform it
� Place the small circular template within LOS
of either member of the team, or if the order
is given by a squad or platoon leader, then
you can use their LOS
� Roll 1 heavy die against each model covered
by the template and apply the result
18
� Also roll 1 heavy die for any destructible
terrain touched by the template. It is
destroyed on a result of 3 hits
� Hardened terrain such as bunkers are
unaffected by mortar fire
● Mortar teams may not move and attack in the
same action
● The weapon may only be operated if both crew
members are within 3” of one another, and
neither is retreating
● Instead of attacking with the mortar, individual
crew members may be activated and use their
profile to engage enemies
� If one member of the mortar team is
eliminated or retreating, the weapon is
abandoned, and the remaining crew member
fights on using their profile
MG Team
Weapon teams operate machine guns such as US .30
Cals and German MG-42s. It requires both members
of the team to operate the weapon.
● When an MG team is given an action, both models
are activated and perform it
� MG Teams may be given an Attack action for
4 light dice at any range. LOS is taken from
the weapon operator, model, not the loader
� MG teams may be put on Overwatch, again,
the overwatch marker should be placed on
the weapon operator
� MG Teams can be given a covering fire order.
They will attack with 4 light dice according
to the normal rules for covering fire
● MG teams may not move and attack in the same
action
● The weapon may only be operated if both crew
members are within 3” of one another, and
neither is retreating
● Instead of attacking with the MG, individual crew
members may be activated and use their profile
to engage enemies
 � If one member of the MG team is eliminated
or retreating, the weapon is abandoned, and
the remaining crew member fights on using
their profile
Flamethrower
Flamethrowers are operated by teams of infantry, or
as a secondary weapon on some vehicles and
walkers. They are the ultimate terror weapon against
infantry.
● You may give a Flamethrower action to a model
that has the Special Rule
� Place the large, teardrop shaped template
with its narrow end touching the base of the
attacking model
� Roll 3 light dice against all other models
touched by the template
� Also roll the dice against any Flammable
cover touched by the template. It is
destroyed if any of the dice results are 2 hits
● Flamethrowers can also be used against
occupied buildings
� To do so the attacking model must be in base
contact with an entrance or window on the
building
� Instead of placing the template, simply roll 3
attack light dice against each occupant of
the building and apply the results
● Place an activation marker next to the model on

 Withheld US soldier’s letter from North Africa, 1942

November 20th 1942

Pvt. Mike O’Sullivan

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My dearest Lucy.

I surely miss you, and can’t wait until the next time I get leave
and can see you again. I showed your photograph to some
of the men and they got real jealous. Reckon I’ve got the
prettiest girl in the whole dang Corps.

There’s actual desert where we’re quartered, so thank God

it’s November. We got some of those Skarn
spacemen and they’re something else. They
don’t talk much and keep to their own kind,
but in battle, let me tell you I’d have no
other on my side. They’re real hard butts,
pardon my French. All they ever do talk about
is killing Vatari, them’s the other spacemen
on the Nazi’s side. These Skarn guys are
tough, pretty damned fearless, and way
stronger than a man. Their equipment is a
bit fancier than ours, they got body armor,
their grenades are about the same as
ours, and they got these fully automatic
rifles that are better than ours up close.
They also got these light armored vehicles
with big tires and a turret gun that are great
for wrecking Nazi tanks. Some day we’re
supposed to be getting gear like theirs,
but things move slow in the army.

Write me soon darling,

All my love,

Your Mikey Boy

Extract from German after action report, North Africa

Oberfeldwebel Dietrich Baden

Libya

6th June, 1942

…Regarding the effectiveness of our Vatari allies in the field, I am pleased to say they acquitted
themselves with honour and courage, and proved to be a most useful addition to my platoon.
The armoured suits of their Ursus Knights’ operate surprisingly well in desert conditions, neither
slowing nor stifling the Vatari soldiers encased within. Their Vril weaponry is something to
behold, truly a terrifying spectacle for any enemy. They do not wield rifles, like their Skarn
enemies, but instead, most cunningly, the same Vril energy that powers their suits is discharged
through the lenses of their helmets, thus turning their eyes into blazing beams of destruction.
Not only that, but the axes they wield channel Vril too, enabling them to shear through enemy
armour at close quarters. Lastly the larger suits, known as Talos mount heavier armour and Vril
weaponry making them the equivalent of one-man
tanks. We must surely expedite the production of
these Vatari designs at our manufacturing plants
throughout the Reich, for with such weapons
victory shall be
inevitable…

 Scenarios
The rulebook describes setting up a standard engagement between two equally matched platoons, but we
can mix it up a bit with some other scenarios which have different platoon selection rules, deployment
rules and victory conditions..

Take and Hold

In a Take and Hold scenario both sides are trying to capture a strategic point on the battlefield.

Sides ● This may be a destructible object, in which case, neither

side can win if it is destroyed
Sides are equal in this scenario, and should be chosen
according to the rules earlier in this rule book.
Victory Conditions
Deployment The battle ends after 6 rounds.

Use the normal deployment rules found earlier in this rule
book.
Special Rules
Place one piece of terrain in the centre of the playing area,
and designate this as the objective. This could be a building,
a hill, or perhaps a bridge.
If no models occupy the objective, it is a draw
If one side has more models on or in the objective at the end
of the game, they win
If the objective is destroyed at any point, the game
immediately ends in a draw

● The terrain piece should be something that can either

be occupied by infantry, or an area that models can be
placed on

Armoured Engagement
In an Armoured Engagement two equally matched Armoured Platoons do battle.

Sides Deployment
Ignore the normal rules for choosing a platoon. Instead, each Use the normal deployment rules found earlier in this rule

● An Armoured Platoon consists of 2-4 Armoured Units Special Rules

� Both players should have the same number of Units None

● An Allied Armoured Unit consists of either: Victory Conditions

� 3 Medium Tanks As per the standard rules, victory is achieved when the losing
player either concedes defeat, or has no models left that can
� 3 Barracudas be given actions at the beginning of a round.

● An Axis Armoured Unit consists of either:

� 3 Medium Tanks

� 3 Talos

 Defender
In a Defender scenario a small force must hold out against a larger enemy force.

Sides Special Rules

For a standard sized battle of this type the sides are as follows: During the Clean Up phase of each round, the attacker may
