TC / QC = Troop Quality, or Quality Check. TC+ means
"If you PASS", TC- means "If you FAIL"
Initiative Dice (p.38-40)
Roll one die for every 2 Infantry units and soft-skinned
vehicles (round down) plus 1 die per armored, non-soft-
skin vehicle.
CAP this number at 10D. This is the Basic Init. Dice.
Adding onto the Basic Dice pool, add:
+1 die per 3 VPs earned in the Previous turn, round down
+1 die if your side had Initiative last turn
+1 die if you have more units than the opponent
+1 die for each Positive leader in the force
-1 die for each Negative leader in the force
+/-X dice per Scenario Initiative bonus/penalty (if any)
Forces will never have less than 1D!
Init. for Irregular-only forces (p.48,166):
If pitted against Regulars or a Mixed force, a force
consisting only of Irregulars may NEVER be awarded
Initiative.
Declaring a Move (p.36, 45):
Clearly state where a unit intends to move TO and the
ROUTE it intends to take (to allow for Reactions).
Measuring a Move (p.47, 50):
* Measure movement for the unit's leader, then place his
members within cohesion around him (1", or 2" for
Regulars wholly within a defensive position)
Infantry move: 6" (Tactical) or 12" (Rapid Move)
-1 to Reaction Tests if unit made a Rapid Move
Line of Sight (p.44):
* Traced from rough center of the FIRING unit to rough
center of the TARGET unit.
* If 1/2 or more of the FIRING unit can see the target
unit, it may fire.
* If less than 1/2 of the TARGET unit is visible to the
firing unit, it cannot be fired upon.
* If any portion of a vehicle or single-figure unit is visible
to an enemy unit, they are in LOS.
Line of Fire (p.45):
* Any units or civilian stands within 2" of the LOS line
(center to center) and at the same elevation are "in the
line of fire".
Firepower (p.58-62)
[# of models + Spec.Weap dice + POSITIVE mods] :
Cap at 10 --> Factor in NEGATIVES (from the CAP
if need be) for TOTAL Firepower
+1 die if in Optimum Range (equals TQ die in ")
+1 die if target Unit moved at Rapid Pace this turn
+1 die if target Unit is Exposed
+1 die if firing Unit has Abundant Supplies
+1 die for each TL higher than Target's armor
-1 die if firing Unit made a Rapid move this turn
-1 die for each Reaction/Defensive Action/Overwatch fire
after the first in a turn
-1 die for each move as part of a Defensive Action,
Reaction, or Morale test failure
-1 die in Defensive fire vs. Close Assault
-1 die if firing Unit is Poorly Supplied
-2 dice firing at/from an NOE target
Reading a Support Weapon entry, p.62
Optimum Range (Support Weapons) p.60
Splitting Fire (Number of targets engaged) p.63
[If splitting fire, apply appropriate mods to both groups]
Weapon types, Support Weapon effects p.74-80
Special Teams, Weapon Teams, p.78-80
Moving Support Weapons (p.61)
Light (1D): no penalty
Medium (2D): only 1D instead of 2D if moved
Heavy (3D): -2D on Tactical, no fire on Rapid
Supression Fire (p.68-70):
-2D, must succeed with at least one die. Weapon Teams
or units with LMGs (not SAWs), GPMGs, MMGs,
HMGs, or AGLs do not lose -2D and ALWAYS use
Supression Fire.
Low Confidence units: Make Morale Check with -1 Die
shift. Fail = Supressed
Confident units: Make Morale Check if Suppression
attempt has modified Firepower of 3D+. Failure =
Supressed
High Confidence units: Cannot be Suppressed
Intimidating Weapons(p.77) : ALL infantry units must
make a Morale Check to avoid being Suppressed
Suppressed: Same as Pinned, but multiple Suppressed
results won't force a unit to Fall Back
Overwatch (p70):
*Usable only by Regular TQd8+ units
*May Interrupt Reactions (+1 on Reaction test) without
being Reacted to.
*Failing a Reaction test makes the unit fire LAST and
"Fall offs" Overwatch
Being in Cover (p.
* If 1/2 or more of a given unit (as a whole) is in cover,
the entire unit receives the benefit.
Defense / Cover (p.57-58)
# of models OR Firepower dice used against it,
whichever is LESS = Basic Defense (min. of 1
regardless of negative mods). Add Cover and Armor
to this.
In Cover (+1D): No move, not exposed = In Cover
Solid Cover (+1D): Sand Bags, Stone Walls, etc
Intervening Cover: LOF passing over intervening terrain
allows Defending unit to claim Solid Cover
Deployed Smoke this Turn (+1D) (p.74)
Improved Cover (+2D): trenches, sandbagged walls
Fortified Cover (+3D): specific fortifications
Reinforced Fortification (+4D)
Armor (+1-3D): (p.58)
Tech: +1D per TL higher than firing unit's weapons (p.53)
Exposed : In open ground, not within 2" of terrain
Who Got Hit? (p.64)
Only if unit contains Specialist units (Leaders and Special
weapons usually dont count), then randomly determine
who got hit. Regulars are all cross-trained to cover
losses.
Irregulars suffer differently: Leaders = no leader till
joined by one. SW : QC+ = ok, QC- = no
Firepower vs Defense (p.63):
Any of the Attackers dice with a score of 4 or more that
cannot be equaled or exceeded by a Defense die
indicates a casualty.
First Aid Checks (p.65): 1d6
1: Dead. TQ+ = act as normal. TQ- = only react to fire
2-3: Serious wound. Casualty Penalty, only react to fire
this turn. Model adds no dice to unit
4-5: Light wound. Unit acts as normal. Casualty Penalty.
Figure may leave on his own.
6: OK! Unit takes turn as normal.
Casualty Penalty (p.67): Make QC when moving faster
than Tactical. TC- = no fast movement
Advanced First Aid Checks (p.66): 1d6
1: Dead. TQ+ = act as normal. TQ- = only react to fire
2: Serious wound. Casualty Penalty, only react to fire
this turn. Model adds no dice to unit
3-4: Light wound. Unit acts as normal. Casualty Penalty.
Figure may leave on his own.
5-6: OK! Unit takes turn as normal.
Call for Medic (p.67):: If Medic is within Rapid
Movement distance, may teleport to ONE unit and let
them use the Advanced chart
Morale Checks (p.85) <Regulars>: Terrain Effects on Movement (pp.88-96):
Roll one TQ die per model in the unit when: Buildings, Breaching (p.89-92)
Low Confidence Troops: Water Obstacles (p.92-93)
Each time a Unit is fired upon Vertical Obstacles (p.93)
Confident ("Normal", not "High") Troops: Forests and Woods (p.93-94)
Each time a Unit is fired on by Support Weapon or Extremely Rough Ground (p.94-95)
Vehicle Mounted Weapon with an unmodified Firepower
Unearthly Environments (p.95-96)
of 3D+

All Troops:
Each time a Unit takes casualties
Each time a Unit is fired upon by a weapon with an
unmodified Firepower of 4D+
Each time an IED is detonated within 10"
Each time a unit is subjcted to an artillery salvo or air-strike
Close Assault (p.83)
1.May declare an assault if one or more models are within
Rapid Movement distance an an enemy unit.
2.Make a QC after declaring assault. QC+ = proceed with
the assault. QC- = remain in place, forfeit activation (may
still take cover, tend wounded, and react to the enemy).
7.Neither side may claim Cover dice other than Body
Armor
8.Assaulting unit makes first attack roll, casualties are
determined, morale checks are resolved. If defending unit
isn't wiped out or captured [see below ], they may make an
attack using survivors.

Each time fire from their unit injures/kills a civilian or
non-combatant
MCs are taken immediately as they occur. If multiple
instances of the same type of MC points occur at once,
only one MC is made for all of them
3.Defending unit must make QC if the attackers
succeeded in theirs. QC+ = may Defensive fire (-1D from
defender's Firepower, -1D from attacker's Defense) [units
with dependents cannot flee] OR flee one full Rapid
Movement away. [Defending unit forfeits any other
actions this turn].
9.This process is repeated until one side is wiped out or
surrenders.
NOTE: If Attackers QC+ and Defenders flee for any
reason, Attackers will move to where the Defenders were
before the Defenders then move away.

Morale Effects (p.86): 10.Morale Checks: Resolved normally:

Stand: More Successes (4+) than Failures = no adverse
effects
Pinned: Failures are equal to or greater than Successes =
unit is Pinned
4.If Attackers take casualties, take MC as normal. Pinned Regular Units: Pinned = drop Morale by one die type. If
or Shaken result aborts assault (stay in their original Morale drops below d6, they surrender and become
places). Otherwise, move attackers into base contact with POWs (p.85). Multiple Pins in Close Assault reduce
defenders and resolve the Close Assault. Morale level,but don't force a Pull Back.

Pull Back: If a Pinned unit is Pinned again, must Pull
Back unless already in a defensible position
Pinned: Must move to cover if they have movement left,
no moving towards enemy; otherwise must attempt to get
In Cover (TQ+). REDUCE TQ die when firing or
reacting this turn. Units LESS than d6 may not fire at all
until Unpinned [Morale Dice are unaffected].
5.QC- = stand in place and fight, OR flee one full Rapid
Movement away and become Pinned [units with
Dependents cannot flee]
6.Fight like in a Firefight, Assaulting unit first, but
combat continues until one side is wiped out or captured.
Irregular Units: If they become Shaken and have Morale
reduced below d6, they become POWs.
Wiped Out? Roll 1d6: Each "1" is a POW, otherwise
figure is removed from play.

Pull Back: Immediately move away from last enemy unit

that fired at it, up to 6" to find cover (regardless of how
far they have already moved) , but must move to the
nearest covered position that does not require movement
towards enemy units. Next turn, may return fire only (may
not go on Overwatch or initiate a round of fire, nor may
they move). [Treats all failed Morale results as another
Pull Back]

Morale Checks (p.166-167) <Irregulars>:

May only activate if a Leader is attached, or are within
Supervision Range of its Control unit, or requires TQ+ to
activate

Moral Checks by Irregulars are done the same way as

Regulars, but have different Checkpoints:
Each time an Irregular unit without a Leader is fired upon
Each time an Irregular unit takes casualties
Each time an air strike or Regular artillery mission hits
within 6"

Each time the Irregular Unit's Control Unit is more than

4" distant or out of LOS.
