Every team has a set ofcharacteristics describing it in the game. Here is a
rypical arsenal entry for an American

; the vehicle. The second line in italics describes its nain weapon. Tnks with more than one main weapon (or

ARMOUR
the enemy.
Tnks, haltracks, and armoured cars are prorecred by
armour plating. The degree of protection is measured
bv an armour rting ranging from values of 0 to 16 or
more, the higher the number the thicker rhe armour.
A vehicle's protecrion is divided into three ares: rhe
Front, Side, and Top armorrr rrings. The fiont armour
ofa tank is usuallv the sffongest parr as that's where the
enemy should be. The side (and rear) armour of tanks
is thinner than the front armour to save weight. The
top armour of a tank protects against infantry assauhs,
artillery, and aircraft bombs.

No weapon is perfect and differenr weapons re better
suited to different jobs. For example, a big, high-velocity
anti-tank gun is very ellective against unks, but its low
rare of fire makes it a poor choice for knocking down
large numbers of infantrl'.
RANGE
The range of a weapon tells you rhe muimum disrance
over which the weapon n be fired effectively. This is
given in both inches and centimerres.
ROF (RATEOF FIRE)
A weapon's ROF (Rate Of Fire) rellects how quicklv
the weapon can deliver rounds on target. The number
given is the mdimum number of dice that rhe ream
rolls when shoodng this type of rveapon. This ranges
fiom 1 for a slow-firing heaw artiilery piece, to 6 fbr a
rapid-ring belt-fed heary machnc-gun.
ANTI-TI,NK
A weapont anti-tark rating rells you how good the gun
is at punching holes in armoured vehicles. Effective
weapons usually combine a good heary shell and a long
b a r r e lr o p r o p e l i r a r a h i g h v e l o c i r u .
FIREPowER
A weapon's firepower rtlng is basically a measure ofhow
big the weapon's explosiye charge is, and therefore how
likely it is to destroy a protected rrget. The repower
rating shows the score you need to roll to destroy a pro-
tected target like a tank or troops hiding in trenches.
FIREPOWER
TESTS
To make a Firepower Tst, roll a die. If dre score is at
least equal to your weapont Firepower rating, ,you hve
passed the Firepower Test. Ifthe score is lower, you have
failed rhe Firepower Te'r.

CoNScRIPT
Conscript platoons have been hustled into battle with
little or no training and are ignorant of even the most
basic batdefield techniques. They are only used as a last
resort bufng their successeswith horrendous casulties.
TRAINED
Trained platoons are those who have at least received
basic training and are ready fbr batde, but that haven't
had rnany opportuniries to rest their skills in combat.
VETERAN
Veteran piatoons are battle-tesred troops, hardened
combat, undcr fire, or highlv trained professionals.Trel'have

SHOoTINcANDSKILL
One of the tlrings that makes Fla m es Of War tnique as a
game is its use ofthe rargett skill raring as the primary
fctor when working out the score needed to hit a targer
(most games use the skill rating of the shooting re:rm).
'1he
rerson for this is simply that it is a better rellection
of nodern corrbat. 'X/hile skilled troops certainly shoot
more accurarely than unskilled rroops, rhis isn't rhe
mosr important factor in hitting the enemy. The most
important fctor is seeing the enemy in the iirst place!
Modern weapons are so accurate and deadly that even
a raw recruit can bring down any krger thev can see.
Given a machine-gun, anyone can morv down hordes of
conscripts charging across an open eld-the casualties
of the First \(/orld War attest ro rhis. However, a unit of
veteran commandos using everv available bit of cover
and re and movemenr tactics will cross the same open
field with few if mv cuakies.
l
 It goes without saying that a batdeeld is a terrif ing
place to be. One thing soldiers alwa,vssay about a bat-
rleeld is that it is noisy incredibly noisy. Lnagine

explode dangerously close, spraying mud and deadiy
metal fragments through the air, while machine-gun
bullets whine overhead like angry wasps. The machine-
gun nexr to you begins blasting back at the enemy, the
staccato bark deafening as the weapon showers you with
hot shell casings.You realiseyour Lieutenant is shouting
something above the din, by his gestures you guess that
he is saying that your platoon is about to attack.
It is no wonder that in an environment
morivarion of your soldiers is a vitally important
ofthe battle. Sometimes they'Il keep it together and do
heroic things, and sometimes they'll crack under the
pressure,just like real people might do.

courage and determination of vour ghting soldiers.

f the rules require you to roll more than one die, trear
roll as a sepuate successor failure
n some situations, where your rst ro11fails, you may
allowed a re-roll. A re-roll is just what the name
sys-you get to ignore the first attempr and roll the die

EASURING
Of\Yar gives game measurements in both inches
) and centimetres (metric). You should agree
which system you and vour opponent
the game begins-you must use one of these rwo
not switch between both. Generall,v, iis a good
to use the system you are most familiar with
lf'o
-l
Unlike some games, you are allowed to measure any dis-
tances on the battlefield any time you want to. You can
measure how far your weapons can shoot, how far rhe
opponent's weapons an shoot, or even whether or not
vou have enough movement to assault at the end ofthe
turn. Alter all, your soldiers have maps, range-finders,
and binoculars to help them work these things out.
DEcLARATIVE MEASURING
You can make your game {low more easill. by letting
your opponent know what your intention is when
moving your forces. If you tell them vou are intend-
ing to stav out of range, or thar you think your troops
are completely out of sight behind a wood, it reduces
disputes if a model gets bumped later.
UP TO HALF, AT LESTHAIF
At times Flames Of War allows or requires vou to do
something with up to halfor at least halfofyour teams.
r4ren dealing with an even number
of teams rhis is
straightforward. \[ith an odd number ofteams, up to
halfmeans that the odd team is excluded, while at least
halfrequires the odd team to be included. Either way,
always use the current strength of the unit.
WYSIWYG

Iiculties by remembering this and taking a look at the
situation from a modelt-eye view, down on the ground

see from where they are or rvhere they coulcl go on the

To make the rules easier to read we have distinguishecl
the explanations of the rules lrom the actual rules
rhemselves. \X/hile the explanarion may be useful in
understanding and interpreaing the rules, only the rxr
printed in italics an in the accompanving tables are
actually rules.
DIAGRAMS AND SUMMARIES
You'll nd diagrams and summar,rr boxes throughout
the rules. These make it easier to understand the rules
ancl refresh your memory of them at a glance when vou
are looking rhem up in a game.
Of necessitl' the diagrams and sumtnary boxes show a
shortened version of rire rules and mv not have all of
the details that apply to your situation. Always 96 1o
the rules themselves ifyou have run into a problem and
need to clari$' the situation.
In a hobby such as wargaming, itt impossible to
over-emphasise the importance of being a good sport.
rX/hether you are crushing your
opponenr or you are on
the receiving end of an almighry pummelling, itt alwavs
good to remember that whatever the outcome of the
battle, playing is all about having fun.
Some good basic rules are to play fair, follow the rules of
the game, and eat your opponents with courtesy and
respect. Oh, that and dont give upl The odds may look
grim with your army ser ro be beaten, but hmg in there.
Some ofthe best stories are about heroic last stands and
a fw brave individuals turning the tide and holding out
against the odds to iinalll' snatch an unlikelv victory.
Remember that whether you e facing a friend or a
new opponent tret rhem just the wav you would like
to be treated, and you will get so much more from
the hobbv.

SPECIAIRULES
To keep things.simile, the main part of the
F/ames Of War rules only cover the more commoii
cases.Rules that ue specific to certin weapons, vehicles;i
platoons or armies re gi\n as special ruls.
T h e s es p e c i a lr u l e . e i r h e r a d d a d d i t i o n a l c a p a b i l i r i e so r
allow the teams and platoons that use rhem to break
the normal rules. S(lhen special rule conflicts rvirh
normal rules, apply the special rule.
WHEN THINGS H.appsN
Normally turns in Flames Of Var follow a straightfor"
w a r d s e q u e n c eH
. o w e v e r .s o m e r u l e s .p a r r i c u l a r l ys p e c
rules, cause things to happen out of turn. Ar exmple of
rhis would be reconnaissance troops disengaging when.
the enemy starts shooting at them.
-When this happens, interrupt
the normal turn
r e s o l u et h e u n u s u a la c r i r i g . r h e n r e r u r n l o n h e r e ; o u
were and continue the turn.
WoRKINGIT OUT
Lots of things happen in war, so naturally the
OfWar rulebook n)/ not cover everv possible situation
that can occLrr in your batdes. Ifsomething unex
happens, talk with the other players and try to come
with a good interpretation ofwhat would happen.
Ifyou cant come to an agreement quickly just roll a die:
. Ifyou roll 4, 5, or 6, use your interpretarion of
r u l e F o rr h e r e r r o f r h e g a m e .
. A roll of 1, 2, or 3, means that you have to
your opponentt interpretation of the rule for
r e s ro I t h e g a m e.
After the game, when you have more time for di
sion without holding up the battle, sit dom and
how you ll handle the siruation in the future .
If you still aren't sure, you can always check out
forum at wwu.FlzmesOJVarcom and ask other pl

Ajeep is barely able to tow a large gun and carry its am-

s a result, the crew walk alongside, slowing progress.

 \fhen riflemen halt, the 6rst thing they do is dig them-
selves burrows in the earth for protection from enemy
re. They call their holes by many names; foxholes, slit
trenches, slitdes, and ri{le pits. It's impossible to dig a
proper slit trench in a battle situation, but a shallow
shell scrape is almost as effective when you are desperate.
Regardless of the name, they all minimise the soldier's
exposure to enemy fire.
Rather than moue, a p/atoon can use their Mouement

Bocage Hedgerous are Wry Dfficuh Going, but only
Infantry and Man-packed Gun teams on foot, and Fully-
tracked uehiclescan crossthem at all.
In addition, the hedgerous are so luergrown that
teams must stop their mouement on reaching a Bocage
Hedgerow, ready to cross next turn. A team mutt stdrt
their mouement touching a Bocage Hedgerow to crossit.
This can resuh in disjointed mouement uith a platoon

The following rules represenr rh bartlelield performance
ofteams with unusual characteristics and supersede the
normal movement rules for these tems. The Arsenals
list which attributes apply ro a particular ream.
AMPHIBIoUS
Amphibious vehicles are designed to swim, carrving
their psengers across rivers or lakes.
Amphibious uehicles treat all [mpassable w/1ter terdin ds

Tnlc based on Christie's design are built around excep-
tionally powerful engines and llexible suspensions and
can really move when the throrle's opened up.
Fast tanles c.1n mtre up to 32"/80cm At the Double.
Howeuer, they, still only go 12"/30cm during normal
motement.
MOUNTAINEERS
Some infantt/ are trained as mountaineers,'Ihev can
scale cliffs that are impassable ro normal infanrry.
Mountaineers treat tteep hil/s as norma/ Cross,country
Terrain (the1 can moue At the DoubJe dcrl$ them) and
rocky hills as Dfficult Going.
Mountaineers can cros Impassdble clifs and similar ob-
stacles (but not Impassable terrain in general). To do s0
the), must ttart tbe Mluement Step touching the obstade
and not be Pinned Down (seepage 101).

wait around doing clos to nothing as possible. As soon they are properly led, they become a deadly
fighting unit. In a Flames Of War battle it is important for teams to remain close enough together to be able
to receive orders from their ofcers.

The ability of a platoon to spread out effectively will
depend on its training and experience. Battle-hardened
veterans have learned to spread out without losing
their cohesion. Less experienced troops need to be
closer together so their oficers can supervise them
more closely.
7he Commant{ Distance table giues the maximum
distance a team mal be Ji'om another to be uithin
Command Distance of it. If two teams haue dffirent
Command Distances, tahe the /ower Command Distance
to determine if they are uithin Command Distance of
each other.

IN CoMMAND
In a Flames Ofwar battle, a team may be eithei
in command or ut of command.
A team is In Command if it is either:
. wirhin Command Ditanre of its I'latoon
tegm, or .:i
. within Command Distance of another team from thd,.
phtoon that is itself In Command, therefu forming
chain back to the Platoon Command team.
Ifneither ofthese applies to a team, then that team is
of Command.
MovING WHILE IN CoMMAND
A platoon moves together as a group. A1l of the soldiers
stay close enough to receive new orders. If necessary,
the platoon commander can orcler individual teams or
vehicles to halt and provide covering fire while the rest
of the platoon advances.
\ilhen mouing, a team may eitlter:
Moue so as to be In Command at the end of the
Mouemerut Step, or
Remain in place uithout mong.
This allows you to leaue teams in place t0 shoot uhile

Varrior teams are not Independent teams (seepage 70).
OINING PLATOONS
lX4rile mostly free to operate on their own, a warrior
will often want to join one of their platoons to lead it
through a critical part of the battle.
WarriorsmayJoinfriendly platoonsat aryt time in either
4er's turn. A \Yarrior team can Join one friendly
within Command Distance in each Step. Once
tbey Joire, they remain Joined until the end of the Step,
at which point they dutlmaticallJ ledue the platlon. The!
Join the same or a dffirent platoon in the next Step.
A Warrior team thdt is a permanent palt 0f a Pldtoon

platoons to call upon fot assistance. In that case they

Most Warrior teams can onl Join pktoons fom tbeir

A warrior's vehicle is essential for rhem to do their .job.

JoIN AT ANY TIME

A Varrior team canJoin a platoonat any time. This
means that it can Join a platoon that has just failed a
Motivation Test before that failure takes effect, and allow
it ro re-roll the failed test. Since it is now part of the
platoon (until the end of the Step), it will be afi'ecred by
the outcome ofthe success or failurc.

Howeve! no matter when a\farrior teamJoins a platoon,

neither it nor rhe plaroon can benet from a roll made
previously by rhe other. So, the Company Command
team could not Join a platoon that had passed irs test
to make a Stormtroopers move (see page 241) and rhen
make a Stormtroopers mole with rhes.

 WHY CN'TI HIDEBEHINDMY OWN TANKS?
Peopleoftenthink that it wouldbea lot saferfor infantry
to advance behind ranks than to spread out around
them.
-Mrile ir sounds good in theory, theLeare a loc
of reasons
why it doesn'twork in reality.The biggesrproblem is rhat
infantry can't reallv stay closeenough ro the tank to actu-
ally get any prorection from enemy machine-gunsspread
out crossthe banieeld. Even if they did, they would be
a prime target, being bunched up and easy to hir with a
singleburst.
On top of tlis, tanls are bullet magnets.They are big and
obvious and attract a lot of lre, r more than infmtry ad-
vancing in open order.Unforrunarely for the infantry trying
to hide behind the tank, they doni have
'.il
tankl armour to stop most of dreseshots, :
Ifrhis isn't enough for the poor infantry, theyruti

Having selected your rarget and checked thar it is in
range and that you can see it, r'ou need to roll to see
if you can hit it. The roll to hir not only includcs rhe
actual firing of your rroops' weapons af rhe enemv s
vou'd expect, bur also considers such things as visibiliry
communications and plain old luck. That is, a missed
roll to hit may mean rhr your troops didnt see the
target clearly enough to get a good shot, or they ma1'be
didnt seethe target at ll and never even shot! Or maybe
their machine-gun .jammed on rhem and it took mosr
ofthe turn ro ger ir cleared.Alything can happen on a
battlefieldl
\Yhen rolling to hit the frst stepsare to:
. work out how many dice each tedmi wedplns giue
lou
to shoot uith, dnd then
. uork out the scoreyou need to hit with each die.
Then you:
. roll the dice and count up lour hits.
Different teams in a platoon may need di$erent scores ro
hit depending on the targers available to thern. Work out
the score ro hit for each shooring team clepending on its
clrcumstances.
How MANYDICE?

TARGETS
REQUIRING SCORES
DIFFERENT
The hardest prt is finding the enemy. Once you have
fouird one of them, you know where to look for the rest.
Ifthe targ* platoon has teams that uould require difer'
ent sc7resto hit, select the e/lsiesttedm to hit (out ofthe
ualid targets) to calculate the score that a team needs to
hit. Remember, each shooting team calculates its sclre to
hit separately. Once you haue calculated the sclre to hit
the eiest team, all ofthat team's rolh to hit require the
same score, but ma1 hit any ualid target in the platoon
IMPOSSIBTESHOTS
Remembetif the scorerequiredto hir is morethan 6,
then the shooting team cannot score any hits.
, t...,::i,r:
:, it::1,;:r:,:;
'S7hen
an important soldier like a bazooka gunner is
hit, the platoon commmder will attempt to keep the
weapon in action by ordering another soldier to take
over the weapon. This is reflected by the targeted player
allocating the hits to the more expendable elements of
their platoon rst. However, ifthere is enough incoming
fire, the valuable weaponry will be at risk too.
Y1ur oP?onent allocates the hits you scored on their
platoon to the teams in that platoon.
Thereare some restrictions though:
. Only teams that are ualid targets-within
of Sight, Range, lxnd Field of Fire of the sbooting
team-can be allocated hits.
. Hits must be allocated euenly acros all ofthe eligible
teams so as to maximise tbe number of teams that
haue hits allocated to them.
. Hits muit be allocated to other teams before teams
that are Gone to Ground.
. than there re targts available.
Hits must be allocated to operational teams and
other teams (including Gone to Ground teams) before
Bogged Down or Bailed Out teams.
Your opponent allocates all of the hits fom your platooni
shooting before anl rolh to seethe ffict of ltour hits.
If afiu applying all of the aboue rules, there is still a
cboice ofteams to allocate the hit to, then teams closer
than 16"/40cm to tbe shooting tedm must be allocated
hits before those beyond 16"/40cm.
ALTOCATING
MIXEDRATINGS
The enemy arent stupid, they spread theii'17
heary firepower around, seeking out those valuable
targets rther than pounding the sme spot oyer
over again.
If you are allocating hix with dffirent Anti-tanh
Firepower ratings, lou milst alllcate tbe hits ofeach typ
euenly as posible, sufiect ro the normal hit allocarion
rules. This meanstltat no team tabesa secondhit
thesametypeofweaponuntil all hauetakenonehit
Line
that ueapon.
If you were shooting with weapons thar have diferent
Firepower or Anti-tank ratings, it is important to keep
rrack of which hits were scored by which weapons as
thesewill have different effectson the teams rhey hit.
OVERKITL
Somerimes a well-armed platoon will score more hirs
If a ptatoon sclr(t morc hir, rhan it hat ualid
allocare one hit to each team, then apply rhe hir allocation
procedure again to allocate the remaining hits.
SMOKE GRENADE5AND SMOKE DISCHARGERS
Most armies equip their soldiers with smoke grenades
and dischargers.As a company commander, irt not your
job to teli a private when to throw a smoke grenade,it's
just part oftheir rraining, In parr rhat'swhy the targett
skill is the biggest factor in hirring the enemy. Veteran
troops make full useoftricks like smoke grenades,while
conscriotsmav not even know how to use them.

MG TEAMS
Mechanised troops can nove lots of ammunition and
heavier weapons in their vehicles. Some units use this
capability to give every team a light bipod-mounted
squad machine-gun.
This gives them immelse repower when stationarv, but
s they cannot 6re their machine-guns while moving,
their rate of re drops dramatically when doing so. It is
often a good idea ro leave some teams halted to pin the
enemy with their full ROF while the rest of the platoon
advances into m assault.
MG teams haue a ROF of 3. If a MG tearu moues, its

RIFTE/MGTEAMS
The differences bemcen fufie, Rifle/MG, and N4G teams can be a bit confusing for new players. Historically, thc clistinc-
tion is the number of machine-guns carried by a squad of two teams. fufle squads have none, Rifle/MC squads have one
macbine-gun per squad, while MG teams have two machine-guns issued to each squad.

. If this was represented literaliy in Flames (lf 1War,it nould mean that Rifle/M(l squ:rds rvorld have one MG tearn and one

Guns have many roles. 1ley drop shells and rockets on
enemy infanty and tanks miles awa1,,defend rhe skies
against incoming aircraft, and punch holes in enemy
rmour so their army can advmce. The range of di
lerent guns in use is vast. Every country has their orvn
J c s i g n 'w i r h ( l r c i ro w r rc h a r a r, e r i s r i c s .
ANTI-TANKGUNs
Anti-tank guns fire bigh-velociry armour piercing shots
directll' ar tanks. Most anti-tank guns can also firc cx-
plosive, fi'agmenting rounds against infantry targers if
necessary.Every army developed its own range of anti,
tanL guns as it sought to gain an edge on enemy armour.
lhe table below shows fwo typical anti-tank guns. Each
army's Arsenai describes their anti,tank guns.
ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS
Arti-aircraft guns are principally designed to shoot
down aircraft, but their high rate oflire and the velocity
of their shot makes them excellent, if rather large, anti,
tank guns. Once again, the Arsenal has the details of
ech army: anti-aircraft guns.
ARTILLERY
The main function of artillery is bombarding the enemv
from a distance. They rely on pounding an area for long
enough to hit the enemy, rarher rhan specihcally trying
to hit them with each shot. Artillerv bombardments are
explained in more detail on page 121.
GUNSAND HowITzERs
Guns and howirzers are the most common form of arril-
lery. These are convenrional guns lobbing heavier shells
than anti-tank guns over longer,ranges. They aren't as
ccurate, but given time they can be
destructive. As with anti-tank guns, each armi'3
lielded its own range of artillery pieces. Again,
the rsenals give the fhll details. Below is a
selection.
HEAVYMoRTARS
Heary mortars are just scaled up versions of their m
packed cousins. lVith calibres from 4.2" (107mrn)
160mm (6.3"), they pack a powerful punch for such
simple an,.lcherp weapons.
ROCKET
LAUNcHERS
Rockct launchers were one of the secret weapons of
Red Army at the starr of \Zorld War Two. By the
of the war every army had their own version of t
lighmeight weapons capable of delivering a stunn
volume of iire and saturaring rhe target area with ex.:
plosives. Each army's Arsenal describes their rockei]
launchers.
GUN TEAMSCAN FIRI As RIFTES
Cunners are usually equipped with rilles and
occasional machine-gun for self-defcnce. If they a
attacked by infantry and dont have time ro bring theii
weapons to bear, or their weapon is not going to
any effect against infantry, they leave the gun where it
is, pick up their rifles, and open fire.
Gun teams (including Man-pached Gun teams) can frt
as Rifle teams instead of shooting their mdin weapon.

must be able to seetheir enemy to shoot. Artillery
iallows you to quickll. concntrate a lot of firepower
nlrvhere on the battlefield, wav beyond the range of
I weapons. This is particularly useful for taking
troublesome machine-guns and anti-tank guns.
rdments saturate the target area with high-explo
shells rather than hitting one specic target, making
! especially useful against densely-packed enemy for-
ations as all of them are hit at the same time. Being on
receiving end of a bombardment is terrifting. Shells

It takes a lot ofwork to prepare a bombardment, and it
tkes even more time to lire enough rounds to make the
bombardment effective. There is no way guns can fire
an artillery bombardment from the move.

SPOTTING FOR OTHER PLATOONS

Staff teams are linked to each other by radio or tele-
phone lines so as to form an effective communications
network on the battlefield. This practice mens that
observer teams can call for fire from anv battery within
range.

A staffteam is an important component of large artillery
platoons. The stafftean's job is to take the targett map
reference, radioed to them by the spotter, and convert it
to angles and elevations fbr rhe artillery weapons. Their
technical exprtise allows the staff to perform complex
calculations and communicate the resuks to th rest of
the artillery platoon quickly.
Mortar platoons and rocket batteries lack artillery stff
becaure their operarion doo not permit prolonged
bombardments and sophisticared artillery tactics
STAFF TEAMS
,To do their job, a staFteam needs lots of maps, plorting
boards, charts and tables, not to mention radios and tele-
phones. A1l this equipment prevents thm from being
very mobile or eilective in combat.
Abhough they are an Infantry team, Staf teams are part
.of theirArtillery platoon and moue slouly as if they uere
a Heault Gun team. A Sta team can shoot at a Rfu
team, but cannot function as a Statf team in the turn it
doesso.
A Staf team can fanction just dt well when it is mounted
in its own T;zns?oft team it can uhen Dismounted (as
long as it is not Bailed Out or Bogged Down), but cannot
.function at all when mounted in another TidnsPort tedm.

The main role of an AOP aircraft ts artillery observation,
using its mobiliry to iind targets and avoid enemv and-
aircraft fire. It flies low to avoid enemy ghter aircrafi,
making it more like a ground vehicle than an aircraft.

SHOOTINGAS A RIFLETEAM
A flame-thrower operator is escoited by riflemen to
them alive long enough to get close enough to Ilame.
An Infanrry Flame+hrower team may shoot and fght
a Rife team until it sho|ts its Flme-throuer.

FUELTANKs
Flame-thrower fuel, and the vapour left behind in the
tanks, is obviously extremely flammable. Unfortunately,
that means that when a fme-thrower tank is hit, it
tends to burn very ei.ly.

Destroy a Flame-thrower tank.

TO REFUEL
RETURN
Being full of volatile gass, empry {rel tanla are even
more explosive than full ones and flame-thrower tanks
are too valuable to waste on jusl one mission. Flarne-
tmks rarely hang around the battlefield after they fire.

dig pits for their guns to get then below ground along

ordered to fight as bunkers drive their tanks into pits so
only the turrets are visible.

Entrencbments are not Ieatures.

Keeping a bunker under fire so rhat assault teams can
ger up and knock it out is a good idea. One problem is
that the crer are well protected, and they know ir. The
instant the fire ceases,they are back into crion again.

ARMOURED HIT BYBOOBYTMPS
VEHICLES
Boobytraps are normally sinall and intended for infantry
on foot rather than tanla, but some.of them are much
larger and can knock out an unlucky tank.
Tleat hitsfrom Booby Traps on Armoured aehicks as a hit
on tlte'lop armour by a ueapon uitll an Anti-tank rating

UNARMOURED HIT BYBOOBYTRAPS

Boobl traps are u.ually powcrlil enough to rvreck a

Each mission h its own variations on where and
when the playem deploy their forces, but they all have a
number of things in common.
DEPToYMENTAREA
Armies move and fight as a single entiry, so when they
clash with the enemy, there is usually a clearly defined
'ours' 'thelrs',
area rhat is and on thar is separated by a
No Man's Land belonging to neither.
Each mission describes the Deployment Area of each
player and shous it on the map. Unles otherue stated,
a playeri teams mutt be placed in their Deployment
Area. Many missions haae a space betueen the p/ayeri
Deployment Areas called No Man's Land.
In some missions a player will not haue a Deployment
Area, but will haue specifc instructions on hou n depbl
their force instead. In this case there is not a No Man's
Land either.
DEPIoYING CoMPANIES
A company is made up of its headquarters and its
platoons. The commander! role is to assign tasks to
each of these assets.
A company is Deployed by asslgning its HQ Support
Weapons and mabing Combat Attachments, Deploying
its platoons and then Deplo/ng its Warrio teams and
Independent teams.
DEPLOYINGPLATOONS
Unit cohesion is vital to an army as it deploys for battle.
If units are allowed to drift out of command there is no
way to adjust orders and ensure that they are in proper
position fur the start ofthe battle.
\Yhen yu Deploy a platoon, place all of ix teams in lour
Dep/oyment Area (or whereuer the missiott or scenario
instructs) so that all of the teams are In Command.
Someforces (such as the ltalians uith their Eight Million
Bayonetsspecial rule) do not /enou their Skill rating unti/

MUTTI-PA,RT PLATOONS
Some platoons operate as a number of detached patrols
rather than as a single large entiry.
A Muhi-part Platoon is made up of seueral platoorr, each
with their own P/atoon Commancl team. Each p/atoon is
separateJr a// purposes, including deployment.
In missions tuith Ambus/sesor Reserues(seepages 266 and

CoMBAT ATTACHMENTS
Many armies in -World War II chose to centralise
their heavier infantry-support weapons, keeping them
together in some form of heary weapons platoon. This
gar.e a commander the fexibility to allocate rhe heavier
weapons as combat attachments to specific infantry
platoons as and when they were needed.
An Intelligence Briefng will specifii zuhich platooT in
it are eligible to mafu Combat Attachments, and the
Platoons that the! cdn attach ae.llpons t0.
IJ you uant to make Combat Attachments, lou must
do so before Deploying any of your platolns.You may
either Combat Attach up to half of the teams (exclud-
ing the Platoon Clommand team and 7nnsport teams)
or Combat Attach all of the teams except the PJatoln
Command team. If yu choose to dttrch out all of the
teams, the Platoon Cammand team is remouedfram the

-W4rile most battles have clearly
delineated front lines,
some battles are marked bv the confused intermingling
ofboth sides. It was not unusual for troops to take shelter
for the night or from a llizzard or sand storm, only to
find the enemy in their midst when visibiliry cleared.
