1. Introduction

Silver Star is an even tougher test for your battle-weary campaign veterans than the original Ambush! and its later modules, Purple Heart and Move Out! Each Mission is specifically designed to attempt to eliminate a certain number of your squad members; in fact, you should be advised that it is possible to lose your entire squad in a matter of minutes should your playmanship falter, or should your nerve crack! Players are encouraged to brush up on a few of your favorite Missions from Ambush! or any of the modules before taking on the challenge of Silver Star.

The best advice we can give is to suggest that you read the Hints and Reminders section very carefully, as these clues represent the best we and our playtesters can offer you on how to get back home alive.

In Silver Star, new rules, clever German tricks, and special effects have been buried in the paragraphs in an attempt to maximize surprise; in fact, players begin most Missions with no hint of purpose other than to enter the map — making uncertainty the rule of the game and key to the fun. Players are once again encouraged not to break the system by looking over the paragraphs and other supports for hints or clues as to what lies ahead. Remember that part of the fun is not knowing — until it is almost too late!

Your squad is invited to campaign its way through Silver Star, and should anyone from the original squad survive, they will be assured of their well-deserved rewards as defenders of America, freedom, and democracy. We hope you enjoy Silver Star and that it provides the additional challenges your squad deserves.

A Word on Replayability

The Missions in Silver Star are almost infinitely replayable. It is quite possible that your intrepid soldiers will not win a Mission the first time around, but don't despair. Give it another shot, because the folks at home are counting on you. Even if you do win, each Mission contains many surprises, and it is unlikely that you will uncover them all the first time around. Also, in many cases, German movement and Activation is somewhat randomly controlled, so they will not do the same things every time you play. (This means that even if you remember where the Germans appeared last time, and set up an ambush for them, they can still surprise you. Beware!)

It is suggested that you try something different each time you replay a Mission. You can radically alter the way a Mission goes simply by changing where you enter and move, or even by changing the way you outfit your squad.

2. US Vehicles

2.1 Independent US Vehicles

Many of the US vehicles you encounter in Silver Star are not under your command. Instead, they move and fight just as German vehicles do, following all movement and combat rules just as if they were German (with the exception that the US vehicles will not attack your squad). US Vehicle Cards contain Condition, Action Die Roll, and Paragraph references which direct the vehicles' Actions. Movement is conducted from hex to hex, using the current Condition Card movement references, moving the vehicle to the hex indicated as if the vehicle were German. However, these vehicles do make Paragraph Checks, just as US soldiers. In all cases, the current German Action Number is used to determine the US Vehicle Actions.

Remain in Rounds as long as active US vehicles not under your control are on the map, even if there are no active Germans on the map. New paragraphs have been included to assure that the US vehicles will not kill your squad members (but careless soldiers can be run over). Should you wish to use these vehicles for your own purposes, resist the temptation. Do not, for instance, put incapacitated soldiers in a US jeep that is not under your control. If your squad begins a Mission with control over a vehicle, you can use that vehicle as described in Section 17 of the Ambush! rules.

2.2 New Tank Actions

There are two new tank Actions (see 17.13 of the Ambush! rules) available to the tanks in Silver Star: pushing and crunching. These Actions are not specifically called for by paragraph. The tanks will automatically perform one or the other when circumstances dictate (just as a tank is not instructed by paragraph to try to run over a slow soldier in its path, but it does so if given the opportunity).

Pushing Vehicles. If a US or German tank begins its Turn adjacent to a hex containing 2 immobile large vehicles and is instructed to enter their hex, it will attempt to push one out of its way. (If a tank encounters the two vehicles during movement, it will stop moving in an adjacent hex and, the next time it is instructed to move, it will push.) The pushing tank makes an Accident Check. If the tank fails the Check, its push attempt fails and the tank remains in the hex it attempted to push from; roll on the Accident Table and apply any results immediately. If the tank passes the Check, the vehicle being pushed is moved to the adjacent hex that would cost a tank the least Movement Points to enter (clear before cover; cover before rough; and so forth) and the pushing tank is moved into the hex vacated by the vehicle that is pushed aside. A vehicle cannot be pushed into a hex that a tank is prohibited from entering, nor can it be pushed into the hex from which the tank is pushing. A tank that is attempting to push a vehicle aside can perform no other Action in that Turn.

Crunching Vehicles. A tank that is entering a hex that contains a small vehicle occupied by active enemy targets will attempt to run over the vehicle, making 2 Accident Checks: one just prior to the crunch, and the other immediately following. If the tank passes the first Check, the small vehicle is immediately disabled. Each passenger then conducts an immediate PC Check. A passenger who passes his PC Check is placed prone and unharmed in the same hex; a passenger who fails his PC Check rolls for damage on the Satchel Charge Outside row. If the tank fails the first Check, it fails to crunch the vehicle and loses the rest of its Turn (although it does not suffer an accident). If the tank has successfully crunched a vehicle, then it makes a second Accident Check; if it fails this Check, it has an Accident.

If a tank is instructed to enter a hex containing two vehicles, at least one of which is small and is not occupied by friendly active soldiers, the tank can enter that hex by crunching one vehicle.

3. Game Parts

Silver Star provides new counters, three new maps (one full-map and two half-maps), new Mission Cards, new German and US cards, and this Rules/Paragraph Booklet. It is necessary to own the original Ambush! counters, view sleeve, and dice to play Silver Star. You will not need the original Ambush! Paragraph Booklet, German Cards, or Mission Cards, nor is it necessary to own a copy of any of the other modules (although, if you enjoy playing Ambush! we suggest that you run right out and buy Move Out! and Purple Heart).

4. Paragraphs

The paragraphs in the rear of this booklet form the heart of the game, and they should not be read until called for by a Paragraph Check or other game instruction. The paragraphs are numbered from 100 to 1000, with intentional gaps.

5. Radios

A radio may be given to your squad at the start of a Mission. If so, it takes one Port Box to carry it. A radio is considered manned as long as it is in a hex with an active US soldier. When a radio is manned, a paragraph may allow you to send or receive instructions by radio. A radio is unmanned if not in a hex with an active US soldier. When a radio is wounded, incapacitated, or killed, by whatever means, there is a chance that the radio is also destroyed. Roll percentile dice: On a result of 25 or less, the radio is destroyed and is useless for the remainder of the Mission; on any other result, there is no effect.

6. New Maps and Terrain

Silver Star includes one new full-map (Map F) and two half-maps (Maps G and H). The Mission Set-Up instructions will tell you which map(s) are used in each Mission and any other special instructions that you may need.

6.1 New Terrain

Level 4. The Level 4 hexes introduced in Silver Star in no way affect or alter the Ambush! LOS rules, except that the view from a Level 4 hill will permit you to see quite a lot of terrain.

All-Water Hexes. These hexes cannot be entered (unless specifically allowed in a Mission briefing), and they never block LOS.

Cliffs. Only crouching soldiers can enter cliff hexes. When in a cliff hex, a soldier cannot stand or lie prone, and he is considered to be crouching in cover. Cliff hexes never block LOS and can be Level 2 or Level 3, as indicated on the Map Terrain Key (the only difference between the two Level cliff hexes is in their height).

Depending on the Mission briefing, cliff hexes will be impassable, steep, or sloping. A sloping cliff hex costs 2 MP to enter; a steep cliff hex requires 1 Action for a soldier to climb up or down, followed by an immediate Footing Check:

Each time a soldier (German or US) ascends or descends to a new steep cliff hex, there is a possibility that he will lose his footing and fall. Roll one die: On a result of 0-8, the soldier is safe; on a result of 9, there is a possibility that the soldier failed to catch himself in time. Conduct an immediate PC Check; if the soldier passes the Check, he is safe; if the soldier fails the Check, he falls into an adjacent lower hex (determined at random), panics, and checks for damage on the Pistol row. If the hex he falls into is another cliff hex, conduct another PC Check to see whether or not he stops his fall (if not, he falls into another lower hex chosen at random and suffers damage on the Pistol row again).

Note that a panicked soldier in a cliff hex cannot fall prone and must remain crouching. This is an exception to the standard panic rules.

If a soldier is wounded, on a Footing Check die roll of 0 through 7 he is safe, and on a roll of 8 or 9 he loses his footing. If a soldier is killed or incapacitated in a cliff hex, that soldier's body falls from cliff hex to cliff hex until it lands on a Level 1 hex closest to the hex from which the fall began. In each cliff hex fallen through, roll for damage on the Semi-Automatic Rifle row of the CRT for an incapacitated soldier; on an additional incapacitation result, the soldier is instantly killed.

Boulders. A boulder hex is filled with large rocks. It costs a soldier 1 MP to enter a boulder hex, and a vehicle cannot enter a boulder hex at all. A soldier in a boulder hex is considered to be in a crater hex for purposes of determining fire combat modifiers. You might want to pencil in Boulder next to Crater on your Fire Combat Modifiers Chart and the MP Cost Chart. Boulders do block LOS.

Second Story Over Road. On Map F, the second story of the wooden building in U-13 extends over the roadway. Soldiers on the road are at Level 1 and in a road hex. A soldier in the second level of U-13 can see into the hex below only if he is standing, and soldiers in the road can see only standing targets in the building above. LOS from the second level of U-13 to adjacent and other hexes follows normal Ambush! rules for LOS.

7. New Counters

In addition to providing more counters of types that you are familiar with (from playing Ambush!), Silver Star offers new counter types that are necessary for play.

Destroyed Wall Hexside. When a wall hexside is destroyed by a bazooka or tank main gun, place one of these markers in a hex with the arrow on the marker facing the destroyed hexside. This will help you to remember which hexside is now open. Remember that, if a second hexside of the same building hex is destroyed, the building hex turns into rubble (see 13.5 in Ambush!).

Jam. These markers are used as generic jam markers when certain weapon type counters are unavailable.

Vehicle AR Markers. Some new vehicles are provided with double-letter coded AR markers with IN ratings from 5 to 0 to reflect crew losses. When a vehicle suffers a crew loss, invert or replace the AR marker so that the new lower IN is exposed, and place the marker in the new correct IN column of the AR Track. The German vehicles receive Turns in alphabetical order, with double-letter AR markers following single-letter markers. (For example, GE L would go, then GE LL, followed by GE M.) You decide the order in which US vehicles and soldiers receive Turns.

Other Counters. Note that many of the counter types summarized below are printed with paragraph numbers. These numbers are put on the counters to remind you of the paragraph explaining special details about that counter.

[Counter summary figure, transcribed as its printed labels with paragraph numbers where printed:]

• Anti-Tank Gun: Loaded / Unloaded (253)
• Mortar Round: Prepared / Unprepared (524)
• Mule: Attended / Unattended (527)
• Mortar Strike: Mortar Strike / Coordinates Given
• Barbed Wire (731)
• Fortified Building (517)
• Guard Boat (674)
• Patrol Boat (568)
• Patrol (389)
• Barge (237)
• Berserk (116)
• Swimmer: Surface / Underwater
• Tick, Tick: End Next Turn / Next Turn/This Turn
• Timed Explosive: 2 Turns / 1 Turn
• Blown Tire
• Clip-Fed LMG: Loaded / Unloaded

8. Random Destruction

Bridges, buildings, walls, sightings, and so forth, which players encounter or fire at unless they contain active targets, or their destruction is specifically allowed in a Mission briefing or in a paragraph instruction. Players should understand that, if they destroy a bridge without reason, the game system will not know that the bridge is down, which will result in illogical movement situations that can ruin a Mission's programming.

9. Optional Rules

The following rules can be used entirely at your own option to add flavor to your Missions. The rules can be used individually or in conjunction with one another.

9.1 Firing at Targets in Buildings

German soldiers currently have no provision for firing at targets lying prone in building hexes, because these potential targets are not in sight and are therefore invalid targets, even though German weapons are quite capable of penetrating buildings. The following optional German Action is highly recommended, because it allows the German soldiers to fire at these hidden targets. Letting them do so is much more realistic, and it evens things up a bit.

If a German soldier has fired at a visible target in a wooden building hex, and receives a subsequent order to fire again but has no target because the US soldier has since fallen prone, the German can now fire at the wall in an attempt to achieve a penetration result. Conduct the following procedure for the German:

1. If the paragraph gives no other options for the German (such as move, surrender, throw a grenade), the German conducts a PC Check. If the German passes the Check, he will fire at the wall; if he fails, he will do nothing.
2. If the German is allowed to fire at the wall, he will crouch and conduct the procedure outlined in 13.5 of the Ambush! rules.

Note that a German tank will conduct the same procedure, but it will fire its main gun at a stone wall, or its coaxial or bow MG at a wooden wall.

9.2 Moving an Inactive Soldier

In addition to the procedure for moving an inactive man one hex, as provided for in the Ambush! rules booklet, the following method can be used. Two non-wounded soldiers can make a litter using their rifles by spending 1 Action each, simultaneously. Once the litter is constructed, the two soldiers can carry the litter a maximum of 3 hexes per Turn, paying normal terrain costs. It costs 1 MP to pick up or put down the litter, and the rifles used to make the litter cannot be used in combat while the litter is occupied.

The soldiers carrying the litter cannot engage in any form of fire combat nor carry any other weapons other than pistols. They can assault normally after putting the litter down. If assaulted while carrying the litter, or if one or both litter-bearers panic for any reason, the litter is dropped and the man on the litter suffers damage on the Pistol row. When an inactive man is being carried on a litter, it is not necessary to check for death caused by moving an inactive man.

The two soldiers carrying the litter must be on the same row of the Action Round Track to spend simultaneous Actions to move the litter or pick it up or put it down. If one litter bearer has 2 Turns and the other has only one Turn, they cannot pick up, put down, or carry the litter until both are on the 1-Turn row (unless, of course, someone gives the 1-Turn bearer a Turn, raising him to the 2-Turn row).

Missions

Mission 19: All Wet

August 1943. Intelligence reports indicate that the Germans are massing supplies for a counteroffensive at a small cove near Messina. Your squad is to verify the accuracy of this information and, if confirmed, destroy as much of the German stockpiles as possible.

YOUR SQUAD

You can use the pre-generated squad or your own continuing squad, or you can generate a new squad. If you are campaigning your own squad, re-roll the Weapon Points number and re-arm your squad. Since you will be travelling light and fast, you can buy weapons from only the following categories: carbines, submachineguns, pistols, bazookas, grenades, and clips. In addition and at no cost, you receive diving equipment (masks, fins, rubber suits, air tanks for 4 squad members), 4 knives, 4 timed explosives, and 2 canoes (see below for rules concerning these articles).

SET-UP

Use half-map H and full-map F. Place H on top of F so that hexes A-1 and Y-1 on Map H are over the same hexes on Map F. The top of the map is the west edge. Your squad enters in hex A-1 with 2 squad members in each canoe and 2 divers hanging on the sides of each canoe. Divers are considered to be on the surface and must continue to hang onto the canoes until directed to do otherwise. At least one commander must be in a canoe. Place intact stone bridge in T-7 connecting T-6 and T-8; place a ford marker in K-12 connecting K-11 and K-13. The Activation Levels are as follow: c1: 0-5; c2: 0-8.

SPECIAL RULES

Knives. Knives have no cost to carry; just mark on your Squad Record Sheet which squad members have knives. A man with a knife receives a +1 to his WS (for a maximum WS of +2) when making or defending against an assault. Knives cannot be thrown, nor can any soldier have more than one knife.

Timed Explosives. It costs 1 Action to affix a timed explosive to a target and set the fuse. The timed explosive will detonate at the end of the next Round. Use a tick, tick marker to remind you that a timed explosive is set. When an Action is spent to set the timed explosive, place a tick, tick marker (end-next-Round side up) in the Panic space of the Action Round Track. At the end of the current Round, flip the tick, tick marker over to the end-this-Round side. At the end of the next Round, the timed explosive detonates. Timed explosives cannot be thrown at a target; they can only be affixed to a target. Before a timed explosive detonates, check to see if it is a dud by using the Satchel Charge dud number (05). Timed explosives can be carried only by the four squad members assigned as divers.

Canoes. Canoes are treated as on page 36 of Ambush! with the exception that, if a canoe is sunk by fire in a hex not adjacent to land, the occupants of the canoe have until the end of the current Round to get the canoe to land. Otherwise, the canoe sinks in its current hex (taking with it all the equipment in the canoe Port Boxes) and the occupants instantly become swimmers. If a canoe with divers hanging onto its sides is fired on, the men in the water will let go of the canoe and conduct their Actions individually as divers and swimmers rather than simply be carried along with the canoe.

Divers and Swimmers. Divers and swimmers are restricted to using 1 Port Box. Divers are designated by using a marker that indicate whether they are surfaced or underwater. Any soldier other than a diver is in an all-water hex is considered a swimmer (as opposed to a designated diver); place an inverted prone marker on a swimmer who is currently underwater. Non-wounded swimmers and divers receive one free stance change per Turn. It costs 2 MP to enter a new all-water hex when swimming or diving. Swimmers must end each Round on the surface (to breathe), but they can swim underwater during the Round. The LOS of a man underwater is restricted to the same and adjacent hexes.

When firing at a swimmer or a diver, there is a –4 Fire Combat Modifier applied. A soldier underwater can be seen (and fired upon) only from the same or an adjacent hex. An American diver or swimmer in the same hex with a German diver or swimmer must be in the same stance (underwater or on the surface) to prevent another German from firing at the American (similarly for a German diver or swimmer in the same hex with an American); grenade attacks cannot be conducted against hexes containing both German and American soldiers. A swimmer or diver can conduct one snap fire per Turn when on the surface, but he cannot move during a Turn in which he snap fires (he spends the remainder of his MPA staying afloat to conduct the snap fire). He can surface prior to firing, or dive underwater after firing if he has a free stance change available. No fire combat can be conducted by a man underwater; he can only move, assault, or stay where he is. Weapons (other than grenades, clips, knives, and timed explosives, none of which requires protection) can be waterproofed before the man carrying them dives underwater. It costs 1 Action to apply or remove waterproofing. If a weapon is taken underwater without waterproofing, or if a waterproofed weapon is fired before the protection is removed, the Jam Number becomes 25 (and the Jam Number remains 25 until the soldier spends 1 Action to clear his weapon, at which time the Jam 25 marker is removed). Several Jam 25 waterproofing markers are included to help you keep track; the markers can be placed either on the appropriate soldier or on the Squad Record Sheet. Note that a bazooka cannot be fired from an all-water hex.

A swimmer or diver attacked by a grenade makes the normal grenade strike PC Check (see Ambush!). If he passes, he is considered prone; if he fails, he is considered non-prone. Grenade attacks against swimmers and divers are resolved on the Grenade Outside row. If the grenade strike PC Check is successful and the man who passed it has at least one Turn remaining in the Round, he can use a Turn to move to any adjacent hex, making the normal Paragraph Check. German divers and swimmers who pass the grenade strike PC Check and have at least one Turn remaining will immediately use a Turn to move to an adjacent hex, according to the current German movement references. A swimmer or diver on the surface can throw a grenade up to 3 hexes, applying a –1 modifier due to the unsteady nature of his condition. A man on the surface can drop a grenade to attack another man who is underwater; both the man dropping the grenade and the target make grenade strike PC Checks in this case, but the man who dropped the grenade adds 2 to his PC for this Check. A man on the surface cannot use a grenade to attack another man on the surface in the same hex. A diver or swimmer can only assault a man who is in the same stance (surface vs. surface, or underwater vs. underwater).

Combat effects against divers and swimmers are resolved as follows. Panic: Surface immediately and lose any remaining Turns. Wounded: Surface immediately, lose any remaining Turns, and drop 1 Port Box of equipment or diving gear. Incapacitated: Surface immediately and move IN marker to Inactive. Killed: Remove counter from the map (the man sinks to the bottom and all his equipment is lost).

Diving Equipment. Diving equipment is considered to fill 1 Port Box, leaving the diver's other Port Box available to carry a timed explosive or a weapon. Once the diving equipment is assigned to the four squad members, it cannot be exchanged with or given to another squad member, even if the man originally assigned the diving equipment is killed or incapacitated.

Night Visibility. To aid in the success of your Mission, it has been timed for a night with heavy cloud cover. A soldier can see only 3 hexes beyond the hex he occupies.

Cliffs. Cliffs are extremely steep and cannot be entered. Cliff hexes are marked XXX on the Condition Cards to remind you that they cannot be entered.

Stream. The water barrier running from A-12 to Y-6 is a stream and can be entered or crossed by spending Movement Points as summarized on the MP Cost Chart. Paragraph Checks must be conducted in stream hexes.

VICTORY. Victory Points needed, and how the Mission ends, will be revealed during play.

Mission 20: Easy as Apple Pie

Christmas Day, 1943, somewhere south of Cassino. Your squad is just coming off Christmas leave. The first task you are assigned is to escort a small convoy bringing hot Christmas dinners to the rest of your company, which has been guarding a strategic tunnel through the mountains.

YOUR SQUAD

You can use the pregenerated squad or your own continuing squad, or you can generate a new squad. If you are campaigning your own squad, re-roll the Weapon Points number and re-arm your squad. In addition and at no cost, you receive 3 trucks and a jeep with a mounted medium machinegun. You must buy ammo for the MMG with your Weapon Points. Soldiers US 01 and US 02 are members of your squad for this Mission.

SET-UP

Use Map F. The top of the map is the north edge. All your squad enters in the vehicles in either A-8 or B-19 (one or the other; not both). All squad members must stay in the vehicles until a sighting occurs. Place intact stone bridge marker in O-4 (connecting P-3 and N-4) and wrecked stone bridge marker in K-12 (connecting K-11 and K-13). Place wrecked airplane marker (from Ambush!) in K-10. The Activation Levels are as follow: c1: 0-4; c2: 0-6; c3: 0-4.

CONVOY PROCEDURES

The jeep and trucks are in convoy and can enter in any order you choose, using the following procedure:

1. Place the first vehicle in the entry hex and conduct a Paragraph Check.
2. Advance the first vehicle one hex and conduct a Paragraph Check.
3. Place the second vehicle in the entry hex and, if necessary, conduct a Paragraph Check.
4. Advance the first vehicle one hex and conduct a Paragraph Check.
5. Advance the second vehicle one hex and, if necessary, conduct a Paragraph Check.
6. Place the third vehicle in the entry hex and, if necessary, conduct a Paragraph Check.
7. Advance the first vehicle one hex and conduct a Paragraph Check.
8. Advance the second and third vehicles one hex and, if necessary, conduct a Paragraph Check.
9. Place the fourth (last) vehicle in the entry hex and, if necessary, conduct a Paragraph Check.

In Operations, the convoy must stay closed up, with one vehicle per hex and no gaps, except that there can be a one-hex gap between the first and second vehicles. Once Rounds are entered, you can move vehicles as you choose. If you return to Operations, the lead vehicle must wait where it is until the rest of the active vehicles have once again closed up the convoy.

Since the backs of the trucks are filled with hot meals for your company, no one can ride back there. As long as all vehicles are active, all soldiers must either occupy a seat in the jeep, ride in the front of the truck, or walk. If a vehicle is inactive, men can hang on the outside of the trucks (but not the jeep); it costs 1 MP to climb onto the side of a truck. No more than two men can hang onto one truck. A non-wounded man can hang on the side of a truck and conduct one snap fire per Turn (paying –2 for fire from a vehicle); a wounded man can only hang on and cannot conduct any fire while doing so. A man hanging onto the side of a truck is considered a passenger for purposes of resolving fire combat. If a man hanging onto the side of a truck is wounded, he falls off and lands prone in the hex where he was wounded. If a man hanging onto the side of a truck panics as the result of an IN die roll or combat, he conducts a PC Check. If he passes, he continues to hang onto the truck and will not go prone at the end of the Round; if he fails, he falls off the truck, lands crouching, and falls prone at the end of the Round.

SPECIAL RULES

Jeep. The jeep has an ammo capacity totalling 6 clips. This storage can be used only to carry MMG ammo (squad members can also carry ammo for the MMG in their Ammo Boxes). Passenger 1 fires the MMG and does not pay the –2 penalty for fire from a vehicle; any other passenger (not the driver) can assist. If the jeep is disabled, the MMG is considered destroyed as well. If the jeep is immobilized, the MMG can still be fired, but it cannot be removed from the jeep.

Trucks. Each truck starts the Mission carrying a load of food for the rest of your company. If a truck becomes disabled, its load can be transferred to another active vehicle. The disabled truck and the vehicle to which the load will be transferred must be in the same hex. In Operations, it costs 2 Random Event Checks to transfer a load; in Rounds, it costs 4 Actions (which can be shared) and the soldier(s) making the transfer must be standing or crouching in the hex with the 2 vehicles. After the load has been transferred, make note on your Squad Record Sheet of which vehicle has the load from the disabled truck. As long as a truck is still active, its load cannot be transferred to another vehicle. Any truck can carry up to 3 loads, but a truck carrying 3 loads can be driven only slowly. The jeep can carry one load if the only occupant is the driver. The jeep can be driven only slowly if it is carrying a load of food.

River. The water running from O-1 south is a river and can only be crossed at the bridge or ford. River hexes are marked XXX on the Condition Cards to remind you that these hexes cannot be entered.

Cliffs. The cliff hexes are extremely steep and impassable. They cannot be entered by soldiers or by vehicles. These hexes are also marked XXX on the Condition Cards to remind you that they cannot be entered.

German Actions. For this Mission only, if a German is instructed to throw a grenade at an active American vehicle, he will do so in the following manner:

1. If in the same hex as the vehicle, the German will attempt to throw the grenade directly into the vehicle.
2. If in an adjacent hex, the German will attempt to throw the grenade directly into the vehicle, subject to a –3 modifier for throwing through a non-adjacent aperture.
3. If at a range of 2 or more hexes, the German will attempt to disable the vehicle by throwing the grenade into the vehicle's hex and rolling on the Grenade Outside row. If the result is incapacitated or killed, the vehicle is disabled and each occupant must roll on the Grenade Outside row (see page 32 of the Ambush! rules).

VICTORY

There are no VP awards for German activation in this Mission. Victory Points are awarded as follows: +1 VP for each truck exited; +2 VP for each load of food exited; +1 VP for each active German left on the map at the end of the Mission. Bonus VP awards may also be revealed during play. Victory Points needed, and how the Mission ends, will be revealed during play. If all 3 trucks are disabled, it will be extremely difficult to win the Mission. If you have already read the Victory Conditions when the last truck becomes disabled and feel victory is possible, please try; if you have not read the Victory Conditions when the last truck becomes inactive, it is suggested that you start the Mission over.

Mission 21: Surprise, Surprise!

19 July 1943. Near Gela, Sicily. Following a long and tiring overnight march, your squad is dozing in the sun while guarding the approaches to a small bay where supplies are to be delivered later in the day. This should be easy duty, despite rumors of roving German units that have not yet been neutralized.

YOUR SQUAD

You can use the pre-generated squad or your own continuing squad, or you can generate a new squad. If you are campaigning your own squad, re-roll the Weapon Points number and re-arm your squad. In addition, you receive a radio at no cost.

SET-UP

Use half-map H and full-map F. Place Map H on top of F so that hexes A-1 and Y-1 on Map H are over the same hexes on Map F. The top of the map is the south edge. Divide your squad into two 4-man sections. One section is to set up in the row of Level 3 hexes running from E-15 through I-13 (inclusive); the other section is to set up in any first floor building hex within 3 hexes of S-14. No more than two men can start in any one hex.

Place intact stone bridge markers in K-12 (connecting K-13 and K-11) and T-7 (connecting T-6 and T-8).

SPECIAL RULES

River. The water barrier running from Y-6 to A-12 is a river and can be crossed only at a bridge or ford. River hexes are marked XXX on the Condition Cards to remind you that these hexes cannot be entered.

Cliffs. The cliff hexes are so steep as to be impassable and cannot be entered by men or vehicles. Cliff hexes are also marked XXX on the Condition Cards to remind you that these hexes cannot be entered.

German Entry. Since you are on the defense, the Germans enter by Random Event. There are no Activation Checks. Once you have set up your soldiers, roll for Random Events until a German is activated and Rounds commence. If you ever re-enter Operations (which is very unlikely) and do not wish to move any of your soldiers, roll for Random Events again until another German enters and Rounds commence.

VICTORY

Victory Points needed and how the Mission ends will be revealed during play.

Mission 22: Another Bridge Too Far?

January 1944. Northwest of Monte Cassino. Partisans report that there is a route through the Aurunci Mountains. Headquarters has sent your squad to see if there are intact bridges over which divisional armor can move to flank the Gustav Line.

YOUR SQUAD

You can use the pre-generated squad or your own continuing squad, or you can generate a new squad. If you are campaigning your own squad, re-roll the Weapon Points number and re-arm your squad. In addition, at no cost, you receive a half track with a mounted medium machinegun (the MMG comes with 1 clip; you must buy any additional ammo for it with your Weapon Points) and a jeep at no cost. Both vehicles are under your control.

SET-UP

Use full-map F and half-map G. Place Map G on top of Map F so that hexes A-11 and Y-11 on Map G are over the same hexes on Map F. The top of the map is the east edge. Your squad enters in the vehicles through hexes W-1 to Y-1. Place an intact stone bridge marker in O-4 connecting N-4 and P-3, and in V-14 connecting U-15 and W-14. Place a rubble marker in K-10. No other markers begin on the map. Activation Levels are as follow: c1: 0-3; c2: 0-5; c3: 0-8; c4: 0-8.

SPECIAL RULES

Stream. The water barrier running from O-1 through N-10 and then southwest to Y-15 is a stream and can be crossed by spending Movement Points as summarized on the MP Cost Chart.

Cliffs. Cliffs are sloping and can be entered by a soldier at a cost of 2 MP to enter. Vehicles cannot enter cliff hexes.

Bridges. There are 3 levels to a bridge hex: (1) on top of the bridge; (2) under the bridge, in the bridge supports (place soldier under the bridge counter with an inverted prone marker on him); and (3) beneath the bridge, on the ground (place soldier under the bridge counter without the inverted prone marker). A soldier under or beneath the bridge cannot see or be seen by a vehicle or a crouching or prone soldier on the bridge; LOS exists only between standing soldiers on the bridge and soldiers under or beneath the bridge. There is LOS between soldiers under the bridge and those beneath the bridge.

To check a bridge hex, a soldier must be in the hex on top of the bridge and climb down into the supports (1 Action to climb down into supports or back up). Due to the nature of the bridge construction, a soldier cannot climb from the ground beneath a bridge up into the supports. A soldier in the supports is considered crouching; a soldier climbing back onto the bridge from the supports has a free stance change. Since a soldier under a bridge is considered crouching, it costs 1 Action to move from a hex in the supports to an adjacent hex in the supports.

A soldier in the supports or beneath a bridge can be seen from non-bridge hexes as if he were crouching on top of the bridge. Base Hit modifiers against a target in the supports under a bridge are determined as follows: when firing at a target from a different hex at a soldier under a bridge, the target is considered to be crouching in a hex Interior Through Non-Adjacent Aperture (–4 modifier); when firing from the top of the bridge at a target in the same hex under the bridge, the target is considered to be crouching in a hex Interior Through Adjacent Aperture (–2 modifier). Attacks against soldiers beneath a bridge on the ground use the modifier for the terrain and current stance. If a soldier under a bridge is firing at another soldier under the bridge, the target is considered to be crouching in the clear (no modifier).

If a soldier panics or is wounded while under a bridge in the supports, conduct PC Check: If successful, the soldier loses any remaining Turns this Round, but he does not fall; if he fails, the soldier falls from his position in the supports under the bridge. If he falls from under the bridge in O-4 or V-14, he falls into the stream and is swept away (he is considered KIA and all his equipment and ammo is lost).

Soldiers under or beneath a bridge can engage in all types of combat except grenade and satchel charge attacks. Grenades and satchel charges cannot be thrown from the top of the bridge at targets under or beneath the bridge, nor can they be thrown from under the bridge at targets on or beneath the bridge, nor from beneath the bridge at targets on top of or under the bridge.

Half Track. The half track has ammo capacity totalling 6 clips. This capacity can be used only to carry MMG ammo. Passenger 1 fires the MMG and does not pay the –2 modifier penalty for fire from a vehicle. Any other passenger (not driver or assistant) can assist in firing the MMG. If the half track is disabled, the MMG is considered destroyed as well. If the half track is immobilized, the MMG can still be fired, but it cannot be removed from the half track.

Embankments. In this Mission, embankment hexsides present no special hazard to soldiers, but they are too steep for wheeled and tracked vehicles. Vehicles are prohibited from crossing embankment hexsides.

VICTORY

You receive 1 VP for each of the following hexes entered: O-4, W-8, V-14, K-14, J-14, I-15. Additional Victory Points will be revealed during play as will the number of Victory Points needed to win and how the Mission ends.

Mission 23: Strangers in the Night

September 1944. South of the Gothic Line. Division has sent your squad ahead to occupy a village guarding the approaches to a key tunnel through the mountains. Your mission is to secure the village and check the tunnel for demolitions that the retreating Germans may have set.

YOUR SQUAD

You can use the pre-generated squad or your own continuing squad, or you can generate a new squad. If you are campaigning your own squad, re-roll the Weapon Points number and re-arm your squad. In addition, and at no cost, you receive 2 satchel charges.

SET-UP

Use full-map F. The top of the map is the south edge. Place an intact stone bridge marker in O-4 connecting N-4 and P-3; a ford marker in K-12 connecting K-11 and K-13; a destroyed bunker marker in K-10; and destroyed wall hexside markers in T-15/S-16, Q-16/R-16, and Q-14/R-13. Your squad enters in A-1, A-2, and B-1. Activation Levels are as follow: c1: 0-3; c2: 0-5; c3: 0-7.

SPECIAL RULES

Stream. The water barrier running from O-1 to N-11 and then east to A-12 is a stream and can be crossed by spending Movement Points as summarized on the MP Cost Chart.

Cliffs. The cliffs are sloping and can be entered by a soldier at a cost of 2 MP to enter. Vehicles cannot enter cliff hexes.

Visibility. The Mission starts just after sunrise in a heavy mist. LOS is only 3 hexes beyond a soldier's own hex.

VICTORY

You receive 1 VP for entering the tunnel hex W-8. You also receive 1 VP for entering each of the following hexes in the village: O-14, Q-16, S-13, and V-14. Additional VP awards will be revealed during play, as well as the number of Victory Points needed to win and how the Mission ends.

Mission 24: Muleskinner Blues

October 1943. Near Naples. Your squad has been sent to a small village to pick up recently arrived supplies.

YOUR SQUAD

You can use the pre-generated squad or your own continuing squad, or you can generate a new squad. If campaigning your own squad, re-roll the Weapon Points number and re-arm your squad.

SET-UP

Use half-maps G and H. The top of the map is the west edge. Place a ford marker in T-7 connecting T-6 and T-8, and an intact stone bridge marker in V-14 connecting U-15 and W-14. There is no 3-hex bridge in I-15, J-14, K-14 (connecting H-15 and L-13); it has been destroyed and the wreckage cleared away, and it has not yet been rebuilt. Your squad sets up with one commander in D-9 and the rest of the squad in I-9 and J-9. Activation Levels are as follow: c1: 0-4; c2: 0-6; c3: 0-8.

SPECIAL RULES

Stream. The water barrier running south from Y-6 to the N-column and then north to Y-15 is a stream and may be crossed by spending Movement Points as summarized on the MP Cost Chart.

Cliffs. Cliffs are steep and require 1 Action and a Footing Check to climb up or down a cliff hex.

Bay. The all-water hexes in the southwest corner are a deep bay and cannot be entered.

VICTORY

Victory Points needed and how the Mission ends will be revealed during play.

Appendix A: Additional Weapons

The following weapons are used in addition to those found in the Ambush! Weapon Type Chart.

Panzerfaust

Same	Adj	2-Hex	3-Hex	Light	Med	Heavy
8	6	5	4	0-2	3-5	6-9

Penetration (Light / Med / Heavy) is the printed Penetration heading above the Light, Med, and Heavy columns.

A panzerfaust can be fired only once. The firing soldier's WS rating is not applied to this weapon. All US soldiers in a hex in which a panzerfaust has impacted must check for damage on the Grenade Outside row of the Weapon Type Chart.

Anti-Tank Gun

Short	Med	Long	Personnel Incap	Personnel Kill	Light	Med	Heavy
2+	•	•	0	1-9	0-4	5-7	8-9

Penetration (Light / Med / Heavy) is the printed Penetration heading above the Light, Med, and Heavy columns. The Med and Long range entries are printed as dots.

Clip-Fed Light Machinegun

This weapon is like the German LMG described in Ambush! section 9.7, with the following exceptions.

1. This weapon takes up only 2 Port Boxes and can be carried by a single soldier without having to be broken down.

2. The weapon can be fired by a standing or crouching soldier.

3. It uses clips of ammo, which are limited in number (as shown by the number of available clips listed on the Assistant Machinegunner's soldier card). Each time the clip-fed LMG is fired, ammo depletion must be rolled for using the out of ammo number of 50. Clip-fed LMG and clips must be in the same hex to fire the weapon.

Firing the Clip-Fed LMG

1. If the machinegunner is directed to fire the weapon, he will do so only if clips are available in the hex. If directed to fire and no clips are available in the hex, but the assistant is active, the machinegunner will fire his personal weapon instead. If directed to fire the weapon and no clips are available in the hex and the assistant with clips is inactive within 4 MPs of the machinegunner's hex, the machinegunner will ignore his Action paragraphs and move as quickly as possible to the hex where the inactive assistant with clips is, crouch, and pick up all available clips (1 Action). He will then return to where the clip-fed LMG is. Once the machinegunner has returned with the clips to the hex with the weapon, he will again conduct normal Action paragraphs. If the machinegunner is directed to fire the weapon and there are no clips in the hex and no clips available within 4 MPs, he will use his personal weapon when directed to conduct fire combat.

2. If the assistant is directed to fire or assist and is not in the hex with the clip-fed LMG or is in the hex but no clips are available, the assistant will fire his personal weapon instead. If the assistant is directed to fire or assist and is in the hex with the weapon and clips are available, he will do as directed.

3. If the assistant is active and the machinegunner is wounded or inactive, on Turns where the assistant starts in a hex without the weapon, he will stop moving if the hex with the weapon is entered and will fall prone if free stance change is available or he has sufficient MPs remaining. On the next Turn, the assistant will crouch and pick up the weapon (1 Action).

Americans can use the clip-fed LMG with –1 applied to the firing soldier's WS. There must be clips available in the same hex for the weapon to be fired. Clips take up 1 Ammo Box per clip. Clip-fed LMG uses the LMG row of the Weapon Type Chart.

Abandoning the Clip-Fed LMG

The German carrying the weapon will immediately abandon it if no clips are available (all have been used), or clips are available but are more than 4 MPs from the soldier carrying the weapon and the soldier with the clips is inactive, or the soldier carrying the weapon becomes wounded.

Note: Paragraphs stating that one German weapon fired in the previous Round is out of ammo do not apply to clip-fed LMGs, because these weapons roll for ammo depletion each time they fire. If the out of ammo paragraph states it also applies to machineguns, this means only those machineguns other than the clip-fed variety.

Appendix B: Additional Vehicles

Note that schematic diagrams of a half track, truck, and jeep have been printed on the mapsheet as an aid showing where the occupants of these vehicles are located at any given time.

Patrol Boat

Large Vehicle; Armored; Open Only. CREW: 6 MAXIMUM PASSENGERS: 8 SLOW MOVEMENT POINT ALLOWANCE: 4 FAST MOVEMENT POINT ALLOWANCE: 8

Hit Chart: Body 0-5; Crew 6-8; Passengers 9

Damage Effects

Body: Use Damage Table for attacking weapon type. If penetration is light, roll on Pistol row for damage; any result other than panic reduces crew by 1; if penetration is medium, roll on Semi-Automatic Rifle row (any result other than panic reduces crew by 1); if penetration is heavy, boat sinks and crew is killed; passengers roll on the SAR row and on a KIA result they sink with the boat (on any other result, they are placed in the closest land hex prone with indicated result). Crew: Use damage table for firing weapon; any result other than panic reduces crew by 1. Passengers: Use damage table for firing weapon; suffer indicated damage. If no passengers, no effect.

Truck

Large Vehicle; Non-Armored; Open Only. MAXIMUM OCCUPANTS: 2 in front (driver and assistant); 8 in rear SLOW MOVEMENT POINT ALLOWANCE: 4 FAST MOVEMENT POINT ALLOWANCE: 8

Hit Chart (by number of occupants):

Item Hit	0	1	2	3	4+
Tire	0-1	0-1	0	0	0
Body	2-9	2-7	1-5	1-4	1-3
Driver	•	8-9	6-7	5-6	4-5
Assistant	•	•	8-9	7-8	6-7
Passenger

Damage Effects

• No result. Tire: Vehicle cannot be driven fast. If occupied, make an immediate Accident Check. Body: If body is hit, resolve combat using Damage Table row for the attacking weapon. If the result is light penetration, one passenger (chosen at random) suffers damage as determined by rolling on the row for the attacking weapon. If penetration result is medium or heavy, the truck is disabled. Driver: Roll for damage using the Damage Table row for the attacking weapon. If driver panics or is wounded, make an immediate Accident Check. If the driver is incapacitated or killed, an Accident occurs; roll on the Accident Table. Assistant or Passenger: Roll for damage on the Damage Table row for the attacking weapon. The truck is considered a car for resolving grenade/satchel charge attacks, for conducting minefield/boobytrap procedures, on the Accident Table, and when running over soldiers.

Half Track

Large Vehicle; Armored; Open Only. MAXIMUM OCCUPANTS: 8 (driver, assistant driver, 6 passengers) SLOW MOVEMENT POINT ALLOWANCE: 4 FAST MOVEMENT POINT ALLOWANCE: 7

Hit Chart (by facing):

Item Hit	Front	Side	Rear
Driver	0-1	0-1	•
Assistant Driver	2-3	2-3	•
Tire	4-5	4	•
Tread	6	5-6	0-1
Body	7-9	7-9	2-9

Damage Effects

• No result. Driver: Roll for damage using the Damage Table row of the attacking weapon. If the driver panics or is wounded, make an immediate Accident Check. If the driver is incapacitated or killed, an accident occurs; roll on the Accident Table. Assistant Driver: Roll for damage using the Damage Table row of the attacking weapon. Tire: Vehicle cannot be driven fast. If occupied, make an immediate Accident Check. Tread: If there is light penetration and the vehicle is occupied, make an immediate Accident Check. If the penetration is medium or heavy, the half track throws a tread, is immobilized in its current hex, and cannot move again. Body: If the body is hit and there is light penetration, one passenger (chosen at random) suffers damage as determined by rolling on the Semi-Automatic row. If the penetration is medium, the half track is disabled; passengers must spend 2 MP to exit the vehicle. If penetration is heavy, the half track is disabled and all occupants roll on the Semi-Automatic row. Survivors spend 2 MP to exit the wreck. The half track is considered a tank for resolving grenade/satchel charge attacks, for conducting minefield/boobytrap procedures, on the Accident Table, and when running over soldiers.

Fortified Building

Hit Chart

Front Facing Die	Item Hit	Armor	Door Facing Die	Item Hit	Armor
0-7	Wall	H	0-4	Door	H
8	Aperture	M	5-7	Door	L
9	Crew	*	8-9	Crew	*

*If bazooka fire, treat as aperture hit if front facing is fired upon, as a door if door facing is fired upon.

Damage Effects

Wall: If wall is hit and penetration result is H, the fortified building is destroyed and all soldiers inside are killed. Replace fortified building marker with rubble marker; all equipment in the hex is lost to play due to being buried in the rubble. If the penetration result is less than H, no effect. Aperture: Like a wall, except that an H or M result causes destruction. Door: Any H or M penetration result causes fortified building to be destroyed. An L penetration result causes the door to be breached. If the door is breached, treat that side of the building like a doorway instead of a window (the door has been blasted open). A breached door can be crossed by US soldiers to enter the fortified building. Crew: If the crew is prone, the fire misses. (Exception: If firing through a breached door, the crew can be hit if prone.) If the crew is not prone, determine the target hit at random. Resolve damage against that soldier alone, unless using aimed automatic weapon fire, in which case more than one soldier can be hit.

Appendix C: Current Errata

The following errata apply to Ambush!, Move Out!, and Purple Heart. They do not include the errata applicable to the earliest editions of Ambush! [The booklet's offer to mail a copy of the entire Ambush! errata to Victory Games, Inc. on request is omitted as publisher contact information.]

6. Actions Rounds (Clarification). Paragraph Checks that call for Event Checks during Rounds are ignored, but an Event marker is still placed in the hex. This Clarification also applies to 6/11 (Condition Changes During Rounds) and 7/3 (Movement During Rounds).

6/7. Performing Actions During Rounds (Clarification). A soldier can never move and throw a grenade in the same Turn.

8/2. Building Hexes (Clarification). A soldier outside a building looking in through a non-adjacent doorway cannot see a target lying prone inside the building. He can, however, see that target's hex. A soldier outside a building who is adjacent to the doorway can see a prone target in the building. A soldier inside a building, regardless of stance, can see all hexes in the field of view of a doorway.

9/1. Fire Combat Procedure (Clarification). When snap firing a personal weapon twice, remember to roll for jam and ammo use once for each firing.

10/1. Grenade/Satchel Charge Combat Procedure (Clarification). The –3 modifier for target not in sight is applied only when the target hex itself is not in sight (unless specified otherwise). It is possible for a soldier to see the target hex, but not the target itself. In these cases, the –3 modifier is not applied. For example, two crouching adjacent soldiers are separated by a window hexside. Per Ambush! LOS rules, they cannot see each other, but they can see each other's hex. Thus, any grenade or satchel charge combat between the two would not use the –3 modifier for target hex not in sight.

10/3. Grenade/Satchel Charge Scatter (Addition). When throwing a grenade or satchel charge through an adjacent aperture into a building, it is always assumed that the grenade or satchel charge goes into the building (although not necessarily into the target hex). If a grenade or satchel charge roll fails, it is very possible that a scatter die roll on Diagram A or B will scatter the weapon through a wall hexside without an aperture. In such cases, the scatter procedure should be slightly modified so that the grenade or satchel charge will bounce off the wall, back into the closest hex in the direction of the throwing soldier. Grenades can never scatter through a window or back into the thrower's hex, but they can scatter through a doorway. Should any problems arise in the interpretation of these clarifications, apply common sense to resolve the situation.

11/2. Capture (Clarification). A US soldier guarding a captured German can perform all Actions normally during Rounds, with the exception of firing a crew weapon. As before, his MPA is reduced to 2. In order to provide more realism, the rule in Section 9 (Fire Combat) regarding soldiers firing into a hex with active or captured friendly soldiers should be modified as follows. If the friendly soldier is still active, the rule still applies. If the friendly soldier is captured, then you cannot fire at the enemy soldier who is guarding the prisoner, but you can fire at all other soldiers in the hex. A prisoner's guard can be changed only when the guarding soldier has a Turn and wishes to relinquish control of that prisoner. This change costs nothing. Should automatic weapons fire or a grenade or satchel charge be fired into the hex; both the prisoner and his guard take damage normally.

17/7. Cars (Clarification). Soldiers in cars cannot engage in bazooka, satchel charge, grenade, or crew weapon (except mounted machineguns) combat unless specifically noted.

17/11. Grenades and Satchel Charges (Addition). When an attempt to throw a grenade or satchel charge into a tank or car fails, the scatter procedure is modified as follows. If the throwing soldier is in the same hex as the vehicle, use Diagram C or D below. (It is assumed that a soldier will never attack a vehicle from the front, so no scatter chance is provided to the rear of the vehicle.) If the throwing soldier is in a hex adjacent to the vehicle, use Diagram A or B (as appropriate). However, a roll of 6-9 will scatter the grenade into the vehicle's hex, not into the vehicle itself. In cases where the throwing soldier is in neither the same nor an adjacent hex, use Diagram A or B, as usual. Should the above procedure scatter a grenade or satchel charge into a building through a wall with no aperture, follow the guideline provided in the additions to rule 10/3 (i.e., the grenade or satchel charge will bounce off the wall into a different hex). Note that a grenade can never scatter back into the inside of a vehicle or into the thrower's hex.

17/13. Tanks (Clarification). A panzer or Sherman can fire its cannon and coaxial machinegun at a target in the same hex. They cannot fire their bow machineguns, however. A jagdpanther cannot fire either of its weapons (cannon or bow machinegun) at a target in the same hex. (Per 17/2, Vehicle Facing, if both attacker and target occupy the same hex, the attacker has his choice of which side to attack.)

Player Aid Screen: Fire Combat Modifiers Chart (Clarification). "Interior: through aperture adjacent to firer or no aperture." The phrase "or no aperture" is superfluous; combat through a wall with no aperture is handled by the procedure in 13/5, Penetration.

Appendix D: Hints and Reminders

• If you need to remember a specific paragraph, write down the paragraph number together with a few descriptive words, such as: Victory Conditions, 666. When you are instructed to look at a paragraph at a certain time, make a note of the paragraph number and situation that must exist before you can look it up. This could save you from an enormous amount of wasted time and frustration later in the Mission, especially in Silver Star, which has some very complex paragraphs.

• When you purchase weapons for your squad, remember that each weapon comes with one round of free ammo. This ammo still takes up one Ammo Box, however. A soldier cannot carry 6 rounds of ammo and one in the weapon. Note also that a pistol and a round of ammo for it each take up an Ammo Box.

• Don't forget to conduct grenade and satchel charge strike PC Checks! Both German and US soldiers (not in a vehicle) have the chance to fall prone, or throw the thing away (see 10.2 in Ambush!).

• Bazookas are a squad's best friend. Not only are they vital for such difficult tasks as blowing up tanks, but they are often extremely helpful when attempting to take out the old machinegun nest hidden in a building. Remember that any stone or wood wall hit by a non-dud bazooka round is automatically destroyed, and any soldiers behind the wall are hit, and take damage as if by semi-automatic rifle fire. Due to the back-blast when it is fired, a bazooka cannot be fired by a soldier occupying a vehicle.

• Move soldiers in a crouched position during Operations. This can mean the difference between life and death for your men.

• Use your commander to give Turns to soldiers with good Weapon Skills. We have seen Private C move into a German's hex, assault to kill, fail, assault again, fail again, and finally succeed before the German has a chance to respond.

• Although there is no right way to attack a bunker or occupied building, crouching next to one of its windows may be the safest (unless the crafty German stands up).

• Once a crew weapon has been set up in a hex, any soldiers in that hex can fire it, without spending an Action to set it up again.

Paragraphs

100. Minefield! Conduct Minefield Procedure. If in Condition 1 and mine explodes, see 235.

101. Place Event marker. Conduct PC Check:

• Success: See 109.
• Failure: No Event.

102. There is a boobytrapped road block in this hex. Conduct Boobytrap Procedure. If boobytrap explodes, it reduces to 1 the number of Actions needed to clear the roadblock. If s0 has not occurred, see 351. If s1 has not occurred, see 681. If s2 has not occurred, see 461.

103. Place Event marker. Conduct PC Check (–1):

• Success: See 579.
• Failure: No Event.

104. Place Event marker. Conduct PC Check:

• Success: See 579.
• Failure: No Event.

105.

• If no sighting has occurred, see 118.
• If any sighting has occurred, no Event. Ignore further references to this paragraph if any sighting has occurred (note this paragraph on your Squad Record Sheet).

106.

1. If US vehicle in sight and grenade available, crouch (if within 3 hexes) or stand (within 4-6 hexes) and throw grenade at nearest visible active vehicle. Fall prone if free stance change available.
2. If an active American vehicle is in sight and no grenade is available, or target is not in range, crouch and conduct best fire at closest vehicle. Fall prone if free stance change is available.
3. If an active American is in sight, crouch and conduct best fire at easiest target. Fall prone if free stance change is available.
4. If no active American is in sight, move as quickly as possible. Conduct best fire at first active vehicle or soldier to come into sight. Fall prone if target is in sight and free stance change is available at end of Turn.

107. Conduct Activation Check (+1):

• Success: See 461.
• Failure: No Event.

108. Conduct Activation Check:

• Success: See 460.
• Failure: No Event.

109. [s0] This is a German supply room. There is 1 machine pistol with 3 clips, 1 bolt rifle with 3 clips, 3 grenades, and 1 unprepared satchel charge in this hex. The satchel charge can be thrown into barge to destroy it (there is a –1 modification if the satchel charge is thrown from other than the barge's hex).

110. [s1] Activate Germans 16 and 17 in L-3, crouching. Commence Rounds. German advantage. All aware Americans who do not panic receive 2 Turns this Round.

111. [s1] Activate Germans 16 and 17 in L-3, crouching. Commence Rounds. German advantage. Germans 16 and 17 get 2 Turns this Round.

112. Conduct PC Check:

• Success: See 113.
• Failure: If s5 has not occurred, conduct Activation Check. Success: See 220. Failure: No Event. If s5 has occurred, no Event.

113. [s0] There is a roadblock in I-5. Place roadblock marker (from Ambush!). Gain 1 bonus VP when roadblock is cleared. If in Operations, at least 1 soldier must be in the roadblock hex to clear it and two Random Event Checks must be made. If in Rounds, roadblock can be cleared by:

1. Throwing satchel charge in the hex.
2. Heavy bazooka penetration (roadblock is +2 to hit).
3. At least 1 crouching or standing soldier must be in the roadblock hex and 3 Actions (which can be shared) must be spent by soldier(s) in the roadblock hex. Soldiers in the roadblock hex are considered to be in cover for purposes of resolving fire combat.
4. Ramming through the roadblock with a truck. The truck attempting to ram through the roadblock must be going fast when it enters the roadblock hex and must have sufficient MPs to exit the roadblock. The driver of the truck must conduct 2 Accident Checks — the first when entering the hex with the roadblock, and the second to exit the hex. If either Accident Check is failed, the truck is automatically disabled in the roadblock hex and all occupants take damage on the Semi-Automatic Rifle row (due to being slammed into the dashboard and windshield by the sudden stop). If 2 trucks become disabled in the roadblock hex, the third truck can enter the adjacent hex and, after a standing or crouching soldier in either hex spends one Action to hook up a towline, the driver of the truck can spend one Action to pull a disabled truck into the adjacent hex (this is to allow the third truck to try to ram through the roadblock without violating the prohibition against more than two vehicles in a hex). The truck attempting to clear the roadblock by ramming through it must enter and exit the roadblock hex in the same Turn for the roadblock to be successfully cleared. The jeep cannot attempt to clear the roadblock by ramming through because the small vehicle lacks sufficient weight to break through the roadblock.

114.

1. If an active American vehicle is in sight and a grenade is available, crouch (if range is 3 hexes or less) or stand (if range is 4-6 hexes) and throw grenade at nearest visible active vehicle. Fall prone if free stance change is available.
2. If an active American vehicle is in sight and no grenade is available or is not in range, crouch and conduct best fire at nearest vehicle. Fall prone if free stance change is available.
3. If active American soldier is in sight, crouch and conduct best fire at easiest target. Fall prone if free stance change is available.
4. If no active American is in sight, move as quickly as possible.

115.

1. If in U-13 and a grenade is available, and an active American vehicle is in the hex below, stand and lean out window and drop grenade on vehicle below. Fall prone if free stance change is available.
2. If a grenade is available and an active American vehicle is in an adjacent hex, crouch and throw grenade at vehicle closest to east edge of map. Fall prone if free stance change is available.
3. If no grenade is available, crouch and conduct best fire at closest target not in same hex. Fall prone if free stance change is available.
4. If no active American is in sight and none is within 3 hexes, remove this German from the map.
5. Crouch.

116. One German soldier chosen at random goes berserk! For the remainder of the Mission, or until this German becomes inactive, conduct the following procedures:

1. The soldier receives 2 Turns per Round (unless wounded).
2. Each Turn, the soldier stands, conducts one snap fire at the closest active target, and then moves toward the closest active target, using up to half his MPA (rounding down). If there is no active target in sight, the berserk German will move toward the nearest active American and conduct snap fire against the first target to come into sight if sufficient MPs remain to do so. The soldier does not fall prone, even if a free stance change is available. If the soldier is wounded, he will stop firing and move only.
3. If the soldier's main weapon jams or he runs out of ammo, he will use his secondary weapon, if available. If no weapons are available, the soldier will use his full MPA each Turn toward the nearest active US soldier. The berserk German will not use grenades.
4. The berserk German's movement is not controlled by standard paragraph references. Instead, move the soldier directly toward the closest active American, paying normal terrain costs. Roll one die to resolve movement choices. The soldier will not enter prohibited terrain or run through burning buildings, across destroyed bridges, and so forth (he's berserk, not crazy).
5. If the berserk German begins a Turn in a hex with one or more active Americans, he will assault to kill the easiest target. If all Americans in the hex become inactive or exit the hex, the berserk German will repeat Step 2, above.
6. The berserk German will not panic and is considered to have a +2 WS when attacking or defending in assault combat. Berserk German cannot be given a Turn and does not make a Grenade Strike PC Check.

Place Berserk marker with 116 on it on the berserk German as a reminder. The 116 on the counter is to remind you of this paragraph for reference. This Event can occur only once per Mission. Ignore further references to it after the first German goes berserk.

117.

• If in Operations, no Event.
• If in Rounds, one US soldier (chosen at random, but not a commander) panics and falls prone immediately. Place the soldier's AR marker in the Panic space of the Action Round Track. This soldier will rally only when another US soldier enters his hex and spends one Action. The soldier rallies immediately when the other soldier's Action is spent and can perform Actions that Round if given a Turn by a commander; otherwise, place his AR marker in the Complete space. This Event can occur only once per Mission. Ignore further references to this paragraph after the first US soldier panics in this manner.

174. The tunnel has been destroyed by the Germans. Tunnel entrances in hexsides W-6/W-7 and W-9/W-10 are blocked by rubble. The only route is overland. If in Condition 2, put Special Reaction M into effect for GE 72 through GE 77. For Germans in Special Reaction M, priority is mule (when mule is closest and easiest target) and then soldier at same distance. Make note of this on your Squad Record Sheet.

175. The front lines have expanded faster than HQ realized. When all active squad members and mules have exited the north edge between Y-10 and Y-14 (inclusive), see 631. Make note of this on your Squad Record Sheet. Lose 5 VP for any active mule left on the map when all of your squad has exited. Once a man has exited the map, he cannot return. VP loss for an incapacitated man can be avoided by moving him into any non-open hex not in sight of any active German. If GE 72 or GE 73 is active when all Americans have exited the map, gain 1 VP for each German still active and remove the Germans from the map.

178. [s3] Your soldier discovers a case of wine and stops to refresh himself. All men in the hex and any who enter this Round lose the rest of their Turns. Man with highest PC currently in hex conducts PC Check:

• Success: All men in hex go prone.
• Failure: All men in hex must remain in current stance.

If in Operations, no effect on squad members.

179. [s8] The barge contains many mules. There is a crew (not represented in any way) which will help unload the mules from the barge into K-8; once the mules are unloaded, the crew will attend to its other duties, and neither the crew nor the barge will have any further part in the Mission. No squad members can board the barge. At least one active squad member must be present in K-8 during each attempt to unload a mule. To unload a mule from the barge into K-8, roll 1 die: On a result of 0-8, the mule is successfully unloaded (place Mule counter, Controlled side up, in K-8); on a result of 9, the mule slips off the gangplank and damage is determined by rolling 1 die: On a result of 0-2, the mule falls into the bay and drowns, taking the supplies it carried to the bottom; on a result of 3-5, the mule falls back into the barge and is incapacitated; on a result of 6-9, the mule falls into K-8 and is incapacitated and unable to carry supplies. If a mule falls into K-8, each active soldier in the hex conducts a PC Check. Those that pass jump clear and are unharmed; those that fail are struck by the falling mule and roll for damage on the Pistol row. You lose 1 VP for each mule that drowns or is incapacitated during unloading. Once you have successfully unloaded 6 mules (you cannot take more than 6 with your squad), head for the front lines, which are reported to be in the vicinity of Y-10 through Y-14. See 527 for information about mules. Remember that no more than 4 mules can occupy a hex at one time.

180. [s9] Soldier notices bridge in O-4 has been weakened by age and neglect. It may not be safe for use.

181. When the first bridge hex has explosive go off, flip the bridge marker in that hex to its destroyed side (marked with 181 to remind you of this paragraph). The hex is then impassable for vehicles and costs 2 MP and Footing Check for a soldier to enter. To conduct a Footing Check, roll 1 die: On a result of 0-7, there is no effect; on a result of 8-9, the soldier slips and falls off the bridge to the ground beneath, suffering damage on the Medium Machinegun row.

1. When the first explosives go off, soldiers and vehicles in that hex take damage as follows. Soldiers on top of the bridge roll on the Satchel Charge Outside row and make an immediate Footing Check; soldiers under the bridge in the supports roll on the Satchel Charge Inside row as if non-prone (because they must crouch under the bridge); soldiers beneath the bridge on the ground roll on the Grenade Outside row; vehicles on top of the bridge roll on the Satchel Charge Outside row (if the result is incapacitated or killed, the vehicle is disabled in that hex and all occupants roll on the Grenade Outside row as if prone; if the vehicle is not disabled, an American vehicle is placed in an adjacent hex of your choice, and a German vehicle is placed in an adjacent hex closest to a non-bridge hex — in either case, all vehicle occupants lose one Turn); vehicles under the bridge are undamaged, but all occupants roll on the Grenade Outside row as if non-prone.
2. When the second explosive charge goes off in a bridge hex, the bridge collapses. Remove the 3 bridge markers and place rubble markers in the three hexes (I-15, J-14, K-14). All soldiers in the three hexes roll on the Medium Machinegun row; those that are not killed are placed on the rubble marker in the hex they were in, but they lose all their equipment from their Port Boxes; those that are killed are removed from the map, and all their equipment and ammo is lost (buried in the rubble). All vehicles in the three hexes are disabled and removed from the map (also considered buried in the rubble). All vehicle occupants take damage on the Medium Machinegun row and are treated as above. See 260 immediately.

If in Rounds, roll 1 die: On an odd result, a US soldier has the defective grenade; on an even result, a German soldier has it. Determine which soldier’s grenade detonates at random. The soldier carrying the defective grenade conducts a PC Check:

• Success: He can toss the grenade into any adjacent unoccupied hex, where it explodes harmlessly.

• Failure: He and everyone else in the hex are hit by the grenade explosion. The soldier carrying the defective grenade is considered indoors, regardless of his location. No other soldier in the hex can conduct a PC Check for the purposes of throwing the grenade clear or changing stance.

This can occur only once per Mission. Ignore further references to this paragraph after the first occurrence (note this on your Squad Record Sheet).

GE 48: Odd result, K-3; even result, H-1. GE 49: Odd result, K-9; even result, I-8.

GE 50: Odd result, D-2; even result, D-2. All activate crouching. If any had run out of ammo, they are now resupplied. For each of the above Germans who is reactivated and who has used some or all of his initial supply of grenades, roll 1 die: On a result of 0-4, no further grenades are supplied; on a result of 5-7, one grenade is supplied; on a result of 8-9, two grenades are supplied. Regardless of the result of the resupply roll, no German can reactivate with more grenades than he originally had.

221. One US soldier (chosen at random, but not a commander) goes berserk! For the remainder of the Mission, or until this soldier or all Germans become inactive, conduct the following procedure:

1. The soldier receives 2 Turns per Round (unless wounded).

2. At the start of each Action, the soldier stands, conducts one snap fire at the closest target, and then moves toward the closest active German soldier, using up to half his MPA (rounded down). The soldier does not fall prone after movement. If the soldier is wounded, he will stop firing and move only.

3. If the soldier’s main weapon jams or runs out of ammo, he will use his secondary weapon, If no weapons are available, the soldier will use his full MPA each Turn. The berserk US soldier will not use grenades.

4. The soldier must move directly toward the closest active German soldier, paying normal terrain costs, and rolling one die to resolve movement choices. The soldier will not enter prohibited terrain, but will move as quickly as possible around the obstacles.

5. If the soldier enters a hex or begins a Turn in a hex containing active German soldiers, he will assault to kill. If all Germans exit the hex or become inactive, the berserk soldier will again move toward the nearest active German soldier.

6. The soldier is immune to panic, and is considered to have a +2 WS when attacking or defending in assault combat.

7. A US soldier can stop the berserk soldier by successfully tackling him. If any US soldier begins a Turn in the berserk soldier’s hex, or enters the hex during movement, roll one die: 0-7, the tackle is successful; 8-9, the

tackle fails. If the tackle is successful, roll one die again: 0-2, no effect and the soldier is still berserk; 3-9, the soldier is restrained and comes to his senses. Place both soldiers prone in the hex. A berserk US soldier will not attack other US soldiers, even if they try to restrain him.

Place berserk marker with 221 on it (to remind you of this paragraph) on the berserk American. This Event can occur only once per Mission. Ignore further references to this paragraph once the first American has gone berserk.

222. One soldier (determined at random) is carrying a defective weapon. Due to age and abuse, the wooden stock on the weapon has deteriorated and broken off (this will affect only a soldier carrying a bolt rifle, bolt rifle with scope, carbine, semi-automatic rifle, BAR, SMG, or LMG). If no Germans are active, an American is automatically affected; if there is at least one German carrying a weapon in the group named above who is currently active, roll 1 die: On an odd result, an American is carrying the defective weapon; on an even result, a German has it. Place a broken stock marker on the affected soldier. The broken stock marker has 222 on it to remind you of this paragraph. The soldier with the defective weapon must now pay an additional —1 modifier on the To Hit determination of any fire combat conducted with the defective weapon. This Event can occur only once per Mission. Ignore further references to this paragraph after the first soldier suffers a broken stock.

223. If there is at least one bridge hex with no explosives set and no active German with explosives in the hex and there is an inactive German with explosives on the bridge or in rear of half track:

1. Ignore normal Action paragraphs and movement references (make note of this on your Squad Record Sheet).

2. Remove Special Reaction T, exit half track standing (1 MP), move to nearest inactive German on bridge with explosives; crouch and pick up explosives (1 Action); move to nearest bridge hex with no explosives set and no active German on or under the bridge with explosives, and put Special Reaction E into effect.

3. If there is no inactive German with explosives on the bridge and there is an inactive German with explosives in the rear of the half track, remove Special Reaction T, climb into rear (1 Action), pick up explosives (1 Action), exit half track standing (1 MP), and move to nearest bridge hex with no explosives set and no active German with explosives in the hex. When there, put Special Reaction E into effect for this German.

4. When Special Reaction E is removed from this German, return to this hex. If half track is still active, climb into half track (1 MP) and put Special Reaction T back into effect.

• Otherwise, roll one die: On an odd result, see 802; on an even result, see 824.

224. 1. If any bridge hex (I-15, J-14, K-14) does not have explosives set or active German with explosives on or under bridge in hex, remove Special Reaction T from this German. Ignore Action paragraphs and movement references, exit half track standing (1 MP), and move as quickly as possible to nearest hex without explosives set or active German with explosives on or under bridge in same hex. When there, put Special Reaction E into

effect for this German. 2. See 802.

225. If any bridge hex has explosives set in it, one (chosen at random, if necessary) explodes. See 181 for effects of explosion. This can occur only once per Mission. Ignore any further references to this paragraph after the first explosion occurs in this manner.

• Otherwise, no Event.

226. If soldier is moving, see 371.

237. Barge counters are marked with 237 to remind you of this paragraph. Barges are considered large vehicles in the open for fire combat purposes. A soldier on a barge is considered to be in cover. Barges do not block LOS. It costs 2 MP to climb onto a barge from an adjacent land hex, and it costs 1 Action to climb onto a barge from an allwater hex. Each barge is worth 3 VP if destroyed. A barge can be destroyed by:

1. M or H penetration from a bazooka, killing any soldiers on the barge.

2. Exploding a timed explosive affixed to the barge (barges are the only target timed explosives can be used to destroy). Soldier must be in same hex as the barge to affix a timed explosive to the barge, but soldier can be underwater or on the surface to do so. It costs 1 Action to affix the timed explosive to the barge and set the fuse. Use a tick, tick marker as explained in the Mission briefing to remind you that the timed explosive is set. Check for dud as for satchel charge. When the timed explosive goes off, all soldiers on the barge are killed; all soldiers in the water in the barge’s hex take damage on the Satchel Charge Outside row, without first making a Grenade Strike PC Check; soldiers on the surface are considered non-prone and soldiers underwater are considered prone; and the barge is destroyed (remove barge from the map).

3. Exploding a satchel charge on the barge will destroy the barge. There is a —1 modifier if the satchel charge is thrown from other than the barge’s hex. Damage is assessed as in Part 2, above.

4. Exploding a grenade on a barge will destroy the barge if the initial roll on the Grenade Inside row is incapacitated or killed (in which case damage is assumed as in Part 2, above). If the initial roll is panic or wounded, the barge is unharmed, but all soldiers on the barge take damage on the Grenade Inside row. Soldiers on a barge do make a Grenade Strike PC Check prior to any damage occurring. There is a —1 modifier if the grenade is thrown from other than the barge’s hex. If the initial hit roll causes the grenade to miss the barge, but the roll on the Grenade Scatter Diagram causes the grenade to hit the barge, roll 1 die: On an odd result, the grenade hits the barge; on an even result, the grenade lands in the water in the barge’s hex.

Divers can now climb onto the barge, but still cannot enter a land hex. Make a note of this paragraph on your Squad Record Sheet.

238. If any sighting other than s9 has occurred:

1. If s7 has not occurred, see 338.

2. If s6 has not occurred, see 323.

3. If s6 and s7 have both occurred, see 349.

• Otherwise, no Event.

239. If in vehicle, remove Special Reaction T, exit vehicle (1 MP) standing end enter C-3.

• Otherwise, enter C-3.

• Success: See 351.
• Failure: No Event.

241. 1. If in U-13 and grenade is available,

and an active American vehicle is in the hex below, stand and lean out window and drop

grenade on vehicle. Fall prone if free stance change is available.

2. If grenade is available and an active American vehicle is in an adjacent hex, crouch and throw grenade at vehicle nearest west edge of map. Fall prone if free stance change is available.

3. If no grenade is available, crouch and conduct best fire at closest (not in same hex) target (vehicle first, then soldier). Fall prone if free stance change is available.

4. If no target is in sight and no active American is within 3 hexes, put Special Reaction M into effect for this soldier.

5. Crouch.

242. Boobytrap! Conduct Boobytrap Procedure.

243. If on second floor of T-12, descend to first floor of T-12.

• If on first floor of T-12 and an American is in sight, enter S-13.

• Otherwise, enter T-13.

244. If an active American is within 3 hexes, enter J-15.

• Otherwise, enter J-14.

245. There is an entrance to a road tunnel through the mountains in this hex. The tunnel extends from W-7 to W-9. Pay normal road movement costs when moving in the tunnel. Place an inverted prone marker on the man or vehicles moving in the tunnel. For LOS purposes, consider tunnel entrance hexsides W-6/W-7 and W-9/W-10 to be doors. Due to darkness in the tunnel, a soldier in W-6 or W-10 can see only one hex into the tunnel. There is no restriction looking out of the tunnel from W-7 or W-9. If a vehicle is moving fast in the tunnel and has to make an Accident Check as a result, or has to make an Accident Check as a result of combat, see 465. Make note of these paragraphs on your Squad Record Sheet. Conduct normal paragraph checks when moving in the tunnel. Paragraphs preceded by a T (for example, T 358) are for movement in the tunnel. Paragraphs without the T are for movement on top of the tunnel.

246. If an American is in sight, enter N-15.

• Otherwise, enter M-15.

247. If an American is in sight, enter P-13.

• Otherwise, enter P-14.

248. [s4] Machinegun nest! Activate Germans 19 and 20, crouching. Roll 1 die: On an odd result, activate in P-15; on an even result, activate in O-14. Commence Rounds.

249. [s3] Activate German 18 in U-13, second story, standing. Commence Rounds. German advantage. The floor of the second story is considered a wooden wall for combat purposes. If the floor is hit by bazooka fire from below, all soldiers in the hex below roll for damage as if behind a wall hit by bazooka fire (roll on the Semi-Automatic Rifle row, as indicated in the Ambush! rules).

250. Until otherwise directed, this German vehicle will ignore those parts of its Action paragraphs directing it to move. When instructed to fire its cannon, the target priority will be as follows:

1. Active US vehicle.

2. Active US anti-tank gun.

3. Active US soldier in building, if visible.

4. If none of the 3 preceding targets is available, German vehicle will fire its cannon at the nearest building, using a +4 modifier for fire at a wall. Place a destroyed wall hexside marker when the first wall hexside is destroyed. When the second wall hexside is

destroyed, remove the destroyed wall hexside marker and replace it with a rubble marker, as in the Ambush! rules. Lose 1 VP for each building hex so destroyed. For this Mission only, 2 hits on a building hex will destroy that building hex, even if the German vehicle can see only one hexside. If s7 has not occurred, see 473. Make note of this paragraph on your Squad Record Sheet. If Conditions change, the German vehicle must conduct Paragraph Checks for movement.

251. If German vehicle is moving, enter K-10.

• If German soldier is moving and current German Action Number is odd, enter L-10.
• If German soldier is moving and current German Action Number is even, enter J-10.

252. If German vehicle is moving, see 250.

• If German soldier is moving, enter P-7.

253. An ATG counter has two sides printed loaded and unloaded to help you keep track of its status. When an ATG is fired, turn the counter to its unloaded side; when a crew member spends an Action to load the ATG, flip the counter to its loaded side. An ATG cannot be loaded and fired in the same Turn; no soldiers other than the original crew can load or fire the ATG. Americans cannot use a German ATG for any purpose. This paragraph number appears on both sides of the ATG counter in case you want to refer back to this paragraph during play.

Firing the ATG. The firing soldier’s WS does apply. An ATG can fire only through its covered arc. If the crew is directed to fire the ATG and the only target is outside the covered arc, the crew will spend 2 Actions (1 Action per crew member and both crew members must have Turns remaining in the Round to spend the Actions; if one crew member has 2 Turns and the other crew member has 1, move each of their IN markers down one Turn) to change the covered arc to that the new covered arc is centered on the target. If only one crew member is active, the covered arc cannot be changed. If any crew members have Turns remaining, the ATG can be fired in the same Turn that the covered arc is changed, using a —2 modifier for snap fire. It costs 1 Action to fire an ATG and 1 Action to load it. An ATG cannot fire and load, or load and fire, in the same Turn. It costs 1 Action to load an ATG and 1 Action to fire it.

Fire Combat versus ATG

1. Explosive Weapon (tank main gun, bazooka, etc.). If an ATG is hit, roll for penetration on the row of the attacking weapon. If light penetration, each crew member takes damage on the Pistol row. If medium penetration, each crew member takes damage on the Semi-Automatic Rifle row. If heavy penetration, the ATG is destroyed and each crew member takes damage on the Medium Machinegun row.

2. Non-Automatic Weapon. If fire is through covered are and ATG is hit, roll for penetration and apply results as in 1, above. If fire is from outside covered arc, crew members are considered crouching in cover, unless terrain gives better protection. US fire at an ATG and crew from outside the covered arc can be directed at the ATG (in an attempt to destroy it) or at the crew, at your choice. German fire will always be against the crew when fire originates outside the covered arc.

3. Automatic Weapon. If aimed automatic fire is through the covered arc and there is penetration, roll for damage to the first crew

member as in 1, above. Then roll for damage against the second crew member; if the result of the second damage roll is less than the result of the first damage roll, apply the indicated damage to the second crew member. Similarly for the third crew member (if there is one). If aimed automatic weapon fire is targeted against an ATG from outside its covered arc, treat it as automatic weapon fire against a multiple target hex (see Ambush!). If automatic fire is not aimed, treat it as in 2, above.

4, Grenades and Satchel Charges. Crew members make Grenade Strike PC Checks as in the Ambush! rules. An initial damage roll on the Outside row of incapacitated or killed destroys the ATG.

254. If German vehicle is moving, enter O-7.

• If German soldier is moving, enter O-8.

255. If there is an active US soldier (excluding ATG crew) on the map and not in a boat, stay in P-1. Pull soldiers on board. If Crew Points remain after all adjacent soldiers are pulled on board (or if none are currently adjacent), conduct as many aimed fires with HMG as possible.

• If all active US soldiers are on board, exit.

256. If there is an active US soldier or vehicle to the east of this hex, enter F-8.

• Otherwise, enter H-8.

257. If there is an active US boat in sight, do not move.

• If vehicle is moving, enter N-4.

260. [s3] Now that the bridge is destroyed, you must decide whether it is wiser to go after the Germans responsible or withdraw and report the destruction to headquarters as soon as possible. If you decide to go after the Germans, see 330. If you decide to withdraw, see 994,

261. If there are no explosives set in this hex:

1. And this German is on bridge, climb under bridge (1 Action).

2. And this German is under bridge, set explosives (1 Action) if an entire Action remains this Turn; otherwise, conduct best fire at closest target, if sufficient Movement Points remain.

• If there are explosives set in this hex:

1. And this German is under bridge and active target is in the same hex, assault to kill.

2. And this German is under bridge and active target is visible under bridge but not in same hex, conduct best fire at closest target.

3. And this German is under bridge with no active target under bridge visible, climb onto bridge (1 Action).

4. And this German is on top of bridge, remove Special Reaction E (if in effect) from this German. Put Special Reaction H into effect if GE 40 or GE 41; otherwise, conduct normal Condition Action paragraphs.

When explosives are set, see 202 for information about explosives.

262. If there are no active Americans west of diagonal P-1 to Y-5 (exclusive), exit.

sufficient MPs left to exit the roadblock. The driver of the truck must conduct two Accident Checks — the first when entering the hex with the roadblock and the second to exit the hex. If either Accident Check is failed, the truck is automatically disabled in the roadblock hex and all occupants take damage on the SemiAutomatic Rifle row (due to being slammed into the dashboard and windshield by the sudden stop). If two trucks become disabled in the roadblock hex, the third truck can enter the adjacent hex and, after a standing or crouching soldier in either hex spends 1 Action to hook up a towline, the driver of the truck can spend 1 Action to pull a disabled truck into the adjacent hex (this is to allow the third truck to try to ram through the roadblock hex without violating the prohibition against more than two vehicles in a hex). The truck attempting to clear the roadblock by ramming through it must enter and exit the roadblock hex in the same Turn for the roadblock to be successfully cleared. The jeep cannot attempt to clear the roadblock by ramming through because the small vehicle lacks sufficient weight to break through the roadblock.

Ignore further references to this paragraph (note this on your Squad Record Sheet).

499. Germans in patrol are not automatically aware when activated. Each German in the patrol must conduct a PC Check as follows:

• If in the same hex as an active American, conduct PC (+2).

• If in a hex adjacent to an active American, conduct PC (+1).

• If in neither the same nor an adjacent hex, conduct normal PC.

Any German who fails his PC Check is not aware in the first Round. All Germans in patrol are automatically aware in the second and all subsequent Rounds.

500. If there is no active soldier prone in a hex with an active mule, no Event.

• If there is at least one soldier prone in the same hex as an active mule, one mule chosen at random becomes skittish and may step on the prone soldier(s). All soldiers in the hex with the skittish mule conduct a PC Check. Any who pass the check roll clear, uninjured; those who fail are stepped on and suffer damage on the Pistol row.

511. There is a tripwire in this hex which soldier avoids successfully and deactivates. Gain 1 Bonus VP.

512. Place Event marker, A German flare lights up the area! Roll one die to determine the hex which is temporarily illuminated:

0-1: B-5

2: F-2

3: E-3

4-5: D-4

6-7: G-4

8-9; H-1

The flare lights up the hex it lands in and the six adjacent hexes. Place a starshell marker in the hex determined above to remind you which hexes are illuminated.

• If no soldiers are illuminated, no Event. Remove starshell marker.

• If any soldiers are illuminated, each illuminated soldier must make a PC Check. Success: Soldier falls prone. Failure: Soldier remains in current stance.

Once all PC Checks have been made, see 629.

513. If this hex contains a destroyed bunker, see 621.

• Otherwise, place Event marker. No Event.

514. Soldier steps on tripwire in this hex and sets off flare. Place starshell marker in the hex. Flare lights up the hex and the six surrounding hexes. Any soldier illuminated by the flare can be fired on by any enemy who can trace a LOS to him regardless of the range. Remove starshell marker at end of current Round (at end of first Round if in Operations). If s7 has not occurred, see 622.

515. No Event. Continue with US Turn. If new American moves into a hex where he has LOS to Patrol marker or same American who brought 492 into play moves to another hex where he can see Patrol marker, conduct 492 again.

516. Place Event marker. A German flare lights up the area. Roll one die to determine where the flare lands:

: B-9

: Roll again.

The flare illuminates the hex where it lands and the six adjacent hexes. Place starshell marker to remind you which hexes are temporarily illuminated.

• If no soldier is illuminated, see 278. Remove starshell marker.

• If any soldiers are illuminated, each illuminated soldier must make a PC Check. Success: Soldier falls prone. Failure: Soldier must remain in current stance.

Once all PC Checks have been made, see 625.

517. A fortified building hex is a building hex that the Germans have strengthened with concrete, steel, and other materials. (If a fortified building marker is placed in a multihex building, only the hex occupied by the marker is considered fortified; the rest of the building is normal. If a fortified building marker is in a two-story building, only the first floor is fortified. A collapsing second story will not damage the fortified first floor.) A fortified building faces the four sides as indicated by the fortified building marker and has a door on one side (doors and windows as originally indicated on the map have been blocked up and sealed off). The activation paragraph will indicate the facing of the door. All four sides of the fortified building are considered window apertures for combat and LOS. Firing at a fortified building, you can aim at a target visible through an aperture, or you can fire at the

fortified building itself. To fire at a soldier, the soldier must be crouching or standing. However, a soldier crouching in a fortified building cannot be fired at if your soldier is adjacent to the fortified building and is also crouching (see LOS rules in Ambush!) and vice versa. When firing at the fortified building, there is a +4 modifier for fire at a wall. When firing at the fortified building itself, use the following procedure. First resolve the fire to determine whether or not you have hit the fortified building. If you miss, there is no effect. If you hit, you must determine which facing you hit; there are only

two possible facings: front and door. When the facing has been determined, roll 1 die and refer to the Fortified Building Hit Tables to determine the part of the building hit. Then resolve combat using the Damage Table row for the weapon fired. A fortified building can also be attacked by grenade or satchel charge as if it were a normal building hex. If the fortified building is destroyed by bazooka, tank main gun, or satchel charge, replace the fortified building marker with a rubble marker. Gain 2 VP if the fortified building is reduced to rubble. The fortified building marker has 517 printed on it to remind you of this paragraph. See Vehicle Summary.

518. 1. If s8 has not occurred, conduct PC Check:

• Success: See 276.

• Failure: See 271.

2. If s7 has not occurred, conduct PC Check:

• Success: See 386.

• Failure: See 384.

3. If s7 and s8 have both occurred, place Event marker. No Event.

4. If any Japanese are activated in this Turn, Corporal Vernon’s hair inexplicably catches fire in the frozen foods department of the local Post Exchange.

519. If s2 has not occurred, roll one die: On a result of 0-8, see 515; on a result of 9, see 388.

• If s2 has occurred, see 515.

520. 1. If at least one mortar team member is active and all targets visible to GE 76 are within minimum range of the mortar, crouch and conduct best fire at target closest to mortar team. Fall prone if free stance change is available.

2. If at least one mortar team member is active and there is an active target visible to GE 76 not within mortar’s minimum range, crouch and spend 1 Action to give coordinates to mortar team (place coordinates given marker in hex closest to Y-1 not within mortar’s minimum range that contains at least one active American). Fall prone if free stance change is available.

3. If no mortar team members are active and you are in Condition 2, remove Special Reaction B from this German, re-roll the German Action Number, and conduct normal Condition Action paragraphs for this German.

4. If no mortar team members are active and you are in Condition 3, remove Special Reaction B from this German and put Special Reaction M into effect for him. Use current German Action Number.

5. Fall prone.

521. Place Event marker. Conduct PC Check:

• Success: See 639.
• Failure: No Event.

522. Place Event marker. Conduct PC Check:

• Success: See 395.

• Failure: Conduct Activation Check. Success: See 394. Failure: No Event.

523. Place Event marker. Conduct Activation Check:

• Success: See 398.

• Failure: Conduct PC Check. Success: See 399. Failure: No Event.

524. Place mortar counter marked 524 (to remind you of this paragraph) with round prepared side up in activation hex. Mortar counter has two sides, marked round prepared and round unprepared, to help you keep track of its status. When mortar is fired, turn

counter to round unprepared side; when crew member prepares round, flip counter to round prepared side. Place three mortar team members crouching in activation hex.

Firing Mortar. The mortar has a minimum range of 7 hexes. It can be fired at hexes no closer than 7 hexes (exclusive) from its location. The mortar fire can scatter into a hex less than 7 hexes away during hit resolution. When a mortar team member is directed to fire the mortar, first check for dud using a dud number of 05. If the round is not a dud, use the first of the following to apply: 1.,.If given coordinates, fire mortar at hex where coordinates given marker is located. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram B to determine the hex actually hit (move coordinates given marker to hex hit if not target hex). Flip marker to mortar strike marker side up and assess damage as in Damage section.

2. If not given coordinates and mortar strike marker is on the map, use Procedure A below.

3. If not given coordinates and mortar strike marker is not on the map and soldier firing mortar can see an active target, use Procedure B below.

4. If none of the above apply, use Procedure C below.

Mortar can be fired and round prepared in same Turn, but each can occur only once per Turn. Firing soldier’s WS does not apply when firing mortar. US soldiers cannot use German mortar for any purpose.

A. 1. If mortar team can see mortar strike marker and there is an active American in the same hex as the marker (but the marker is not within the mortar’s minimum range), fire mortar at the same hex again. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram B to determine the hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in the Damage section.

2. If mortar team can see mortar strike marker and can also see an active American within two hexes of the marker (but not within the mortar’s minimum range), move the mortar strike marker to the hex closest to Y-1. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram B to determine the hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in the Damage section.

3. If mortar team can see mortar strike marker and there is no active American in that hex or within two hexes of the marker, place the mortar strike marker in the hex closest to Y-1 that is visible to the mortar team and that contains at least one active American, If the hex closest to Y-1 is within the mortar’s minimum range, fire at hex closest to Y-1 not within minimum range. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram A to determine the hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in Damage section.

4. If the only active Americans visible to the mortar team are within the mortar’s minimum range, use Procedure C.

B. Place mortar strike marker in hex closest to Y-1 that is visible to mortar team and that contains at least one active American (if hex is within mortar’s minimum range, target hex closest to Y-1 that is not within minimum range). Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram A to determine hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not,target hex). Assess damage as in Damage section. If all visible Americans are within mortar’s minimum range, use Procedure C.

C. Fire mortar at hex determined by rolling 1

die:

0-1: X-7

2-3: V-6

4-5: U-6

6-7: R-2

8-9: S-5

Place mortar strike marker in hex determined above. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram A to get hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in Damage section.

Damage. If mortar strike lands off map, no effect. If mortar strike lands in hex with an active soldier, damage is assessed as follows. Each soldier occupying a clear, road, cover, or stream hex rolls on the Grenade Inside row. Each soldier in any other type of hex rolls on the Grenade Outside row. Soldiers in cliff hexes are considered prone for resolving this attack. If mortar strike lands in a hex occupied by a mule, the mule takes damage as in 527. If mortar strike lands in a hex occupied by both mules and soldiers, after the damage is assessed, see 500.

525. Conduct Activation Check:

• Success: See 633.

• Failure: Each American who can see patrol marker conducts PC Check. Success (any): See 745 and each man who passed his PC Check is automatically aware. Failure: See 510.

526. No Event. Continue with American Turn. If new American moves into a hex with LOS to patrol marker, or same American who caused 741 to come into play moves to a new hex where he can again see patrol marker, conduct 741 again.

527. The mules are loaded with ammo and supplies for the front lines (these supplies cannot be used by your squad).

Control. Mule counters have two sides, marked under control and unattended, to help you keep track of their status. A mule is under control when an active soldier in the same hex picks up the lead rope (no cost in Operations; 1 MP in Rounds); flip the mule counter to its under control side when this happens. One soldier can hold up to 4 mules in place (keep them under control without moving them). One soldier can move only 1 or 2 mules at a time. Once a mule is under control, it stays under control until the soldier controling the mule drops the lead rope, which he can do at any time at no cost; if this occurs, flip the mule counter to the unattended side. If the soldier controlling the mule is wounded, incapacitated, or killed, he drops the lead rope automatically; flip the mule counter to its unattended side. A soldier controlling a mule must drop the lead rope (flip counter) to fire a bazooka, LMG, or BAR, or to make or defend against an assault. A soldier controlling a mule can only snap fire weapons other than those named above unless he drops the lead rope (flip counter) before firing.

Movement. Mules will not move unless being led by an active soldier or unless directed by paragraph. One soldier can lead up to 2 mules under his control. The soldier moves normally and the mules move with him. Mules cannot enter cliff hexes and can enter and exit buildings only through doors or destroyed wall hexsides. No more than 4 mules can be in any hex at one time after they have been unloaded from the barge.

Damage to Mules. When mules are hit by fire or subject to grenade attack, roll 1 die: On a result of 0-3, there is no effect; on a

result of 4-7, the mule panics and will not move for the rest of the Round; on a result of 8, the mule is wounded (place marker) and will not enter more than 2 MP worth of hexes per Turn, regardless of how many MPs the soldier controlling the mule has to spend; on a result of 9, the mule is incapacitated (place marker). If a mule is incapacitated as a résult of rolling a 9 (but not as the result of being wounded twice), roll 1 die: On a result of 0-8, there is no effect; on a result of 9, the supplies on the mule explode, the mule is killed (remove it from the map), and all soldiers in the hex suffer damage on the Satchel Charge Outside row. Any other mules in the hex suffer damage as in the beginning of this section (more than one mule may have its supplies explode as the result of a single attack).

Combat Against Soldiers in a Hex With Mules. Unless otherwise directed, when a German fires at a hex with both soldiers and mules in it, the target is a soldier. A mule is considered a soldier for the purposes of resolving Aimed Automatic Weapon Fire (see Ambush!), but soldiers in the hex suffer damage first. If a German is directed specifically to fire at a mule, the mule is considered a standing soldier in the terrain it occupies. A prone soldier in a hex with an incapacitated mule is —2 to hit, unless the terrain offers a better modifier. If a prone soldier in a hex with an incapacitated mule is fired on and missed, roll 1 die: On a result of 0-8, no effect; on a result of 9, the supplies on the incapacitated mule explode and damage is resolved as above. If a hex with soldiers and mules in it is subjected to a grenade attack, all soldiers and mules in the hex could incur damage. Soldiers resolve the grenade attack normally, and the mules take damage as above. Mule counters are marked with 527 on both sides to remind you of this paragraph for easy reference.

528. Conduct PC Check:

• Success: See 648.
• Failure: See 460.

529. If any mules are unattended, one unattended mule determined at random panics. Roll one die:

0: Mule moves 1 hex north.

: Mule moves 1 hex northeast.

: Mule moves 1 hex southeast.

: Mule moves 1 hex south.

: Mule moves 1 hex southwest.

: Mule moves 1 hex northwest.

: Mule moves 2 hexes back along the route it travelled (or as near as you can remember). 7-9: Mule will not move this Round, even if a soldier picks up its lead rope and tries to move it.

If a die roll of 0-5 causes a mule to enter a cliff hex from higher ground, the mule falls through the cliff hex(es) to land in the lower level. (For example, a mule in R-8 forced to move | hex north would fall through R-7 and end up in R-6.) For each cliff hex the mule falls through, it rolls once on the Carbine row. If the result is panic, the mule will not move in that Round. If the result is KIA, roll one die: On a result of 0-4, no further effect; on a result of 5-9, the supplies explode (as in 527). If the die roll causes a mule to enter or leave a building other than through a door, the mule remains where it is and will not move in that Round. If a die roll causes a mule to enter a hex containing an active soldier, the soldier conducts a PC Check:

• Success: The soldier suffers no damage.

• Failure: The soldier suffers damage on the Pistol row (due to galloping mule hooves).

530. If this hex is entered from M-9 and sO has not occurred, see 101.

• If this hex is entered from other than M-9 and s9 has not occurred, see 716.

• Otherwise, no Event.

Mission ends when (1) there are no active Germans on the map, or (2) all active US soldiers (excluding naval gun crew, which stays were it is) have exited the map in the boat. If Mission ends in option 1, VP loss for incapacitated men can be avoided by moving them into a building hex. If Mission ends in option 2, Incapacitated men must be exited to avoid VP loss. You need 8 VP to win. Make note of this paragraph on your Squad Record Sheet.

588. Patrol boat has 6 Crew Points (not represented by separate counters). Boat will spend all available Crew Points to pull squad members on board unless instructed to fire first. In such a case, Crew Points remaining after fire is conducted will be used to pull squad members on board. Boat will not move when within 2 hexes of active US soldier.* When the patrol boat has an IN of 4 or 5, it exerts a Command Radius of 2 hexes. The patrol boat’s IN is added to that of all active US soldiers occupying those hexes for purposes of determining whether the soldiers are in command. If the patrol boat’s IN is

reduced to 2, it will no longer have a Command Radius, and the soldiers will determine command status normally. The patrol boat itself (and its inherent crew) will never panic. If patrol boat fails an Accident Check caused by driving fast, it will stop in that hex. It can still fire or pull squad members on board if so directed, but it will not move further in that Turn. Patrol boat pays 1 MP per hex entered and follows movement references on Condition 3 card. Action costs are as follows: drive slow, 1 Crew Point; drive fast, 2 Crew Points, snap fire with HMG, 1 Crew Point; aimed fire with HMG, 2 Crew Points; pull active squad member on board from adjacent hex, 2 Crew Points; pull inactive squad member on board from adjacent hex, 4 Crew Points, and roll one die with a result of 0 causing an incapacitated man to be killed and a 1-9 having no effect. Squad members can conduct fire from boat, using —2 modifier for fire from vehicle. Grenades thrown from boat have distance to target doubled for To Hit determination (grenade thrown at target 2 hexes away is considered to be thrown at target at 4 hex distance). Grenade cannot be thrown at target more than 3 hexes from boat. If boat crew is reduced to 2 or 1, other passengers can spend Actions to help pull men on board, with 1 Action being considered 1 Crew Point. Squad members cannot fire the HMG. If crew is reduced to zero, a squad member can drive the boat with his DS reduced by 2, German grenade attacks against the patrol boat are resolved on the Grenade Inside row. Boat crew makes 1 PC Check:

• Success: The crew is considered prone.

• Failure: The crew is considered non-prone. Any result other than panic reduces the crew by 1. Passengers, if any, get to make the normal Grenade Strike PC Check. If the initial result on the damage roll against crew members is kill, the boat is destroyed an the entire crew is killed. Any passengers who survive their damage rolls are placed prone in an adjacent land hex of your choice. Once all active US soldiers are on board, the boat crew will conduct one PC Check per Turn:

• Success: The boat is under your control and will exit the south edge of the map as fast as possible.

• Failure: Follow the movement references on the Condition Card.

Any commander on board can spend an Action to give the boat crew another PC Check to attempt to exit, but the crew cannot be given a Turn for any other purpose. If the boat is sunk, see 703. Patrol boat counter has 588 on it, referring to this paragraph. *Excludes naval gun crew.

674. A guard boat is considered a small vehicle in the open for fire combat purposes. Guard boat cannot be entered by Americans for any purpose. A guard boat has 2 speeds: slow (1 hex per Turn, for 1 Crew Point); and fast (2 hexes per Turn, for 2 Crew Points). If a guard boat is fired on, roll 1 die:

• On an odd result, the crew is hit. If the result is other than panic, reduce the crew by

1. If the firing weapon is a submachinegun, keep rolling. If the firing weapon is a bazooka, the rest of the crew rolls on the Grenade Inside row, with any result other than panic reducing the crew by 1 (see Bazooka rules in Ambush!). If the crew is reduced to zero, remove the guard boat from the map; it is considered eliminated for victory purposes.

• On an even result, the boat is hit. If penetration is L, the boat can move only slowly. If penetration is M or H, the boat is eliminated and removed from the map. Grenades can be thrown into a guard boat. There is a —3 modifier applied if the grenade is thrown from outside the boat’s hex. If the initial roll causes the grenade to miss, and the scatter roll causes the grenade to hit, roll 1 die: On an odd result, the grenade lands in the boat; on an even result, the grenade lands in the water in the boat’s hex. If a grenade lands in the guard boat, the guard boat is destroyed and all crew members are killed; remove the guard boat from the map. It costs 1 Crew Point to fire bolt rifle and 1 Crew Point to throw grenade. Guard boat counter has 674 marked on it to remind you of this

paragraph.

675. 1. If there are fewer Americans to the south of row M (inclusive) than north of it, enter N-3.

676. If German truck is active, it blows a tire. Conduct Accident Check. Truck can be driven only slowly. If 1 tire is already blown due to combat result, or truck later blows second tire due to combat result, truck is ‘immobilized (considered knocked out for VP purposes). If this happens, remove Special Reaction T for all Germans in the truck. This can occur only once per Mission. Ignore further references to this paragraph after it causes the truck to blow a tire.

• Otherwise, roll for a new Random Event.

677. 1. If on surface, conduct Activation Check (+1):

If any of the above Germans are placed back on the map as the result of this paragraph and s6 has not occurred, see 790 at the start of the next Round in place of the Random Event Check (note this on your Squad Record Sheet if it applies). If s4 has not occurred, see 248. The Mission ends in Condition 2 when all active Americans have exited the map (vehicles via B-19 and soldiers via A-19 through C-19, inclusive). VP loss for incapacitated and killed squad members can be avoided by exiting them (if campaigning you own continuing squad, soldiers who are killed in this Mission are not reincarnated after the Mission).

787. [s9] Commander decides to drop off all 4 divers and have them enter the cove via hexes E-2, F-2, and G-2, while the men in the 2 canoes continue north to cut off any possible reinforcements and to attack the village from the rear. Men in the canoes cannot land south of the N column (inclusive), but can move freely after they land. Divers must stay in all-water hexes unless otherwise directed by a paragraph. While in Operations, _ divers and canoes can move together, but divers are no longer considered to be hanging onto the sides of the canoes. When in Rounds, each man must move independently. Divers can now be either on the surface or underwater (use the appropriate side of the surface-underwater marker to record their status).

788. Enter N-2, spending 1 MP, if necessary, to exit the truck standing.

789. Go to Condition 2, Remove Special Reaction A for all Germans to whom it currently applies. The Mission ends when (1) all Americans have exited the map through A-1 and there are still active Germans on the map, or (2) when all Americans occupy allwater hexes in the | or 2 row south of the G column (inclusive) and there are no active Germans on the map. There is no VP loss for incapacitated squad members in 2, and VP loss can be avoided in 1 by exiting incapacitated men. American divers can now enter any hex, including land hexes. It costs 2 MP to enter any land hex from an all-water hex, except if crossing an embankment hexside, which takes 1 Action. There is a free stance change when the land hex is entered. If there is a vacant space in a canoe, a diver can climb into a canoe in the same hex by spending 1 Action. An incapacitated man can be exited by using the 2 Port Boxes in a canoe. In such a case, no other equipment can be carried in the canoe’s Port Boxes. Once the incapacitated man has been put into the canoe, there is no further need to check if movement causes him to become KIA. You need 20 VP to win.

790. [s6] Activate GE 47 in S-10. Commence Rounds, German advantage. See 791 for details about mortar.

791. Place mortar counter marked 791 (to remind you of this paragraph) with round prepared side up in activation hex. Mortar counter has two sides marked round prepared and round unprepared to help you keep track of its status. When the mortar is fired, flip the counter to its round unprepared side; when a crew member prepares a round, flip the mortar counter to its round prepared side. Place 3 mortar team members crouching in the activation hex.

Firing Mortar. The mortar has a minimum range of 7 hexes. It can be fired at hexes no closer than 7 hexes (exclusive) from its location. The mortar fire can scatter to within minimum range during hit resolution. Mortar can be fired and round prepared in the same Turn, but each can occur only once per Turn. The firing soldier’s WS does not apply when firing the mortar. US soldiers cannot use German mortar for any purpose. When a mortar team member is directed to fire the mortar, first check for dud using dud number of 05. If the round is not a dud, conduct the first of the following that applies:

1. If the mortar strike marker is not on the map and there is a vehicle visible to the German firing the mortar at 7 hexes or more in range, fire mortar at the hex with vehicle closest to S-10. Place mortar strike marker in the target hex. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram A to determine the hex actually hit (move the mortar strike marker to the hex hit if not the target hex). Assess damage as in the Damage section.

2. If the mortar strike marker is not on the map and there is at least one active American visible to the German firing the mortar, place the mortar strike marker in the hex with the most Americans in it (if all visible hexes with Americans in them have the same number of Americans, place the mortar strike marker in the hex closest to S-10 not within the 7-hex minimum range). Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram A to determine the hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in Damage section.

3. If mortar strike marker is not on the map and no vehicles or soldiers are visible to the firing German or any targets that are visible are within the 7-hex minimum range, fire mortar at hex determined by rolling 1 die: 0-1: C-18

2-3: G-16

4-5: K-14

6: I-18

7: N-18

8: N-15

9: R-16

Place mortar strike marker in hex and roll on mortar strike Diagram A to determine hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in the Damage section.

4. If mortar strike marker is on the map and visible to the German firing the mortar:

• If active vehicle is in same hex as mortar strike marker, German will fire at that hex again. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram B to determine the hex actually hit (move the mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in Damage section.

• If active vehicle is not in same hex as mortar strike marker but within 2 hexes of it, move mortar strike marker to hex with vehicle closest to S-10. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram B to determine hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in Damage

section.

• If active vehicle is not in same hex as mortar strike marker or within 2 hexes of it, fire at vehicle closest to S-10 not within 7-hex minimum range. Move mortar strike marker to target hex and roll on Mortar Strike Diagram A to determine hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in Damage , section.

5. If mortar strike marker is on map and visible to German firing the mortar:

• If active American is in the same hex as the mortar strike marker, fire at that hex again. Roll on Mortar Strike Diagram B to determine hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in the Damage section.

• If active American is not in same hex as mortar strike marker but within 2 hexes of it, fire at hex with most Americans in it (closest to S-10 if all possible target hexes have same number of Americans), Move mortar strike marker to target hex and roll on Mortar Strike Diagram B to determine hex actually hit

‘(move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not

target hex). Assess damage as in Damage section.

• If visible active American is not in same hex as mortar strike marker nor within 2 hexes of it, fire mortar at hex closest to S-10 containing visible Americans and not within 7-hex minimum range. Place mortar strike marker in target hex and roll on Mortar Strike Diagram A to determine hex actually hit (move mortar strike marker to hex hit if not target hex). Assess damage as in Damage section,

6. If mortar strike marker is on the map but is not visible to the firing German, proceed as if it were not on the map.

Damage. If the mortar strikes lands off the map, no effect. If the mortar strike lands in a hex with an active target, damage is assessed as follows, Each soldier occupying a clear, road, or cover hex rolls on the Grenade Inside row. If mortar strike hits a building hex, roll on the Grenade Outside row; if the initial result is kill, one wall hexside (chosen at random, place destroyed wall hexside marker) is destroyed and all soldiers in the hex take damage on the Semi-Automatic Rifle row; if the initial result is other than kill, there is no damage to the building, but all soldiers in the hex lose 1 Turn (if any remain). If the mortar strike hits a hex with a vehicle, roll on the Grenade Outside row. If the initial result is incapacitated or kill, vehicle is disabled and vehicle occupants roll on Carbine row; if initial result is other than incapacitated or kill, there is no damage to the vehicle, but all occupants take damage on the Pistol row due to flying shrapnel. Remember that soldiers in a hex with a vehicle but not in the vehicle are considered to be in cover. If any other type of hex is hit by the mortar strike, each soldier in the hex takes damage on the Grenade Outside row.
