:: Basic Unit Information ::

THE ENEMY
The heart of determining the enemy's forces are "Suspect" counters. These are frequently
Black but can also be Gray or Yellow so that they can depict special circumstances such
reinforcements or an enemies allied forces. They are easily identifiable by the word "Suspect"
written across the top with a large "?" symbol on the counter. Each of them represents
possible encounter with enemy forces ranging from a half-squad to several squads, a leader,
support weapons and vehicles. They can also end up being dummy counters with no encounter
generated.

SNIPERS
Snipers are abstracted through the use of the Sniper counter. They do not represent actual
units BUT the general location of sniper activity. The circled number represents the chance
that a sniper will activate during the game. The higher the number the higher the chance a
sniper attack will be activated. Snipers can activate multiple times per phase/turn.

SQUADS/HALF-SQUADS AND CREWS
The backbone of the players forces. Squads, half-squads and crews have 4MF (Movement
Factors). Basic Squad/Unit info (using the 4-6-7 unit to the left as an example is 4=Firepower,
6=Normal Range (x2 Long Range @ 1/2 Firepower), 7=Morale. The line under the 6 means they
have Spray Fire capability (they can spread their fire across 2 adjacent hexes but at 1/2
firepower). The small 1 to the right of their Firepower means they have a limited inherent
smoke grenade ability. The small number in the upper right indicates they are 1st line quality.
Squads, half-squads and crews have a carrying capacity of 3PP. Squads, half-squads and
crews lose 1MF for each PP over their carrying capacity. The back side of each squad,
half-squad and crew represents a broken status. They cannot fire or move (except for routing)
in this status.

LEADERS
The Leader is the a key component to your platoon/units success. They can help direct more
accurate fire and rally broken squads. They can also help squads move farther during a turn.
Leaders get 6MF (Movement Factors). Squads get 6MF IF they start the turn/move stacked
with a Leader. The 8 represents the Leader's Morale. The -1 is his leadership rating, the lower
the number the better as this is used to benefit units he is rallying and directing the fire of.
Leader who themselves become broken cannot provide any benefit to the men they are
stacked with until they themselves are rallied. The 8 in a box indicates they can self rally.

MACHINE GUNS/ATR'S
Basic MG info (using the German MMG to the left as an example is 5=Firepower, 12=Normal
Range (x2 Long Range @ 1/2 Firepower). The underlined 12 means that they can Spray Fire as
described above in the Squads information. The 3PP means it costs 3 points to carry. The 2
with the box is the Rate of Fire (ROF) which means the weapon can fire multiple times in a turn
as ling as its successfully maintains ROF. Machine Guns/ATR's s must be carried/manned by
crews/squad to be used. Heavier weapons will slow squads down (reduce their MF). Heavier
weapons can be dismantled (dm) so they are easier to carry, but must be reassembled before
they can be used. The German MMG and HMG is the only weapon in a dm status that can be
fired but as an LMG.

MORTARS
Basic Mortar info (using the German 50mm MTR to the left as an example is 50mm It has a
3=Minimum Range/13=Maximum Range. The line over the 50 means it can only fire HE
The 5PP means it costs 5 points to carry. The 3 with the box is the Rate of Fire (ROF). This
means the weapon can fire multiple times in a turn. Mortar's must be carried/manned by
crews/squad to be used. Heavier Mortars will slow squads down (reduce their MF). Mortars can
be dismantled (dm) so they are easier to carry, but must be reassembled before they can be
used.
