Commanded shot: Must take one at least one unit of commanded shot. One commanded shot unit per every
Swedish galloper regiment, maximum of 10 figures per unit. Swedish commanded shot infantry may be attached
to a cavalry unit, the shot unit can fire in support of the cavalry unit that is charged by enemy cavalry (180
degree fire arc). The shot unit must stay within 6’’ of the cavalry unit to provide this support fire and if they lose
contact with the cavalry unit then they must move back into this 6’’ radius (use the same rules as shot and pike in
the WECW rulebook). In addition if the shot unit is charged by enemy cavalry the supporting Swedish cavalry
can counter charge the enemy.

Salvo Fire: Veteran and Elite units may use salvo fire (+2pt).

Gallopers: All veteran and elite galloper units gain a +1 rank bonus in close combat.

Rash: The same as WECW p.52 but unit will now advance on a D6 roll of 1-2 and must test to attack any
enemy in charge distance on a D6 roll of 1-2 (this means that units do not have to attack automatically but now
have a chance to keep their troops under some sort of control).

Skirmish fire: When in skirmish formation mounted and foot figures with carbine\musket can fire only every
second man except for Dragoons who can fire every man.
