Display Relevant AFV Rules
AFV Rules Pertaining to this Game's Order of Battle
  • Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
  • AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8). They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank leader in order to carry out combat movement.
  • AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
  • Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn (either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more (11.2).
  • Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
  • Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire (7.44, 7.64). Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire, but not both (7.22, 13.0). Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
  • Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
  • Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
  • AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
  • AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
  • Open-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables, but DO take step losses from X and #X results (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT). If a "2X" or "3X" result is rolled, at least one of the step losses must be taken by an open-top AFV if present.
  • Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
  • Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
  • Tank: all are closed-top and provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable
  • Assault Gun: if closed-top, provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable
  • Tank Destroyer: do not provide the +1 Assault bonus, even if closed-top (SB)
  • Self-Propelled Artillery: do not provide the +1 Assault bonus, even if closed-top (SB)
  • APC – Armored Personnel Carrier: These are Combat Units, but stack like Transports. They can transport personnel units or towed units. They are not counted as combat units for the +1 stacking modifier on the Direct Fire and Bombardment Tables (4.4). They may be activated by regular leaders and tank leaders (1.2, 3.34, 4.3, 5.43). They do not provide the +1 Assault bonus (ACC).
  • Armored Cars: These are Combat Units. They are motorized instead of mechanized. All have their own armored car leaders, who can only activate armored cars (6.85). Do not provide the +1 Assault bonus (ACC).
  • Reconnaissance Vehicle: 8.23 Special Spotting Powers Both foot and vehicle mounted recce units (1.2) possess two special spotting abilities. The first ability is that they can spot enemy in limiting terrain at one hex further than the TEC specifies for other units and leaders. For example, an enemy unit in town can normally be spotted at three hexes or less, but a recce unit can spot them at four hexes.Their second ability is that they can place a Spotted marker on any one enemy unit they can spot per turn, just as if the enemy unit had "blown its cover" by firing. Such Spotted markers are removed as described earlier.
  • Prime Movers: Transports which only transport towed units and/or leaders (May not carry personnel units). May or may not be armored (armored models are open-top). All are mechanized. (SB)
  • Unarmored Weapon Carriers: These are unarmored halftracks (Bufla and Sk7/2) or fully-tracked vehicles (Karl siege mortar) with mounted weapons. All are mechanized, except the BM-13 (Katyusha rocket launcher mounted on a truck). They are weapon units, not AFV's, so they are never efficient and cannot be activated by tank leaders. (SB)

Scen 3

There are only five (5) Soviet Guards ATRs, rather than six (6).

(nbisada on 2017 May 29)
Scen 8

Soviets have only 8 (not 9) SMGs. The first 4 turns are visibility 1, which means night rules are in effect for those turns. However, the Soviet player still gets air support.

(PG-Tank Dude on 2010 Apr 30)
Scen 13

All Guards RIF are actually INF.

(PG-Tank Dude on 2010 Apr 30)
Scen 14

Soviets get 2 x ENG and 4 x 82mm mortars.

(campsawyer on 2010 Oct 30)
Scen 16

There are not enough Soviet Guards SMG or T34/85 units. The counter mix is short by one for SMG's and two for the T34's.

(vince hughes on 2011 Mar 04)
Scen 25

Scen 27

In the German setup, 9 INF should be 9 GREN.

(PG-Tank Dude on 2010 Apr 30)
Scen 39

Not sure the Axis side should be shown as German & Soviet Union v Soviet Union. The Axis forces have elements of the RUSSIAN National liberation army and use reduced SS pieces. I think the 'Soviet Union' Nomenclature for side 1 should be got rid of as misleading.

(vince hughes on 2013 Sep 14)
Scen 47

All Guards RIF are actually INF.

(PG-Tank Dude on 2010 Apr 30)
Scen 54

All Russian units are Guards. 24 x RIF should be 24 x INF. Use RKKA units when there aren't enough Guards units to fill out the scenario.

(PG-Tank Dude on 2010 Apr 30)
Scen 72

Scenario Forces emblem depicts RKKA Soviet Star intimating the use of RKKA units, yet the unit involved is the 76th Gds Rifle Div. Use Gds units and leaders.

(vince hughes on 2011 Nov 23)
Scen 73

All Guards RIF are actually INF.

(PG-Tank Dude on 2010 Apr 30)

Contrary to the setup instructions, unit may NOT set up Dug-In in Towns or Woods.
