NEW CHARACTERISTICS

Anti-personnel traps: Squads with this weapon get two 25mm-diameter markers for each Trap bought. One represents the

Real trap, the other is a Dummy: make sure they are clearly marked so you can see which is which later. All markers (the Real

ones and the Dummy ones) are deployed before the Deployment phase and can also be placed in  No-man’s Land but must be

at least 10cm from the enemy’s Deployment Area and from each other. When an enemy model crosses or stops within 10cm of 

a marker, turn it over: if it’s a real one then the trap is sprung, if it’s a Dummy just remove the marker. The model that triggers

the Trap rolls 2d6 and adds his VT: with a total of 11 or more he sees it at the last moment and avoids it (nothing happens in

game terms); if he gets 10 or less he is hit. In this case roll 4d6 and apply the result on the Damage Table (with no modiers).

In both cases remove the Trap marker.

Banzai charge: a model with this characteristic can perform a Banzai Charge at the start of the turn. From this moment on he

is considered a Fanatic (see below) and all models in the same squad within 20cm also become  Fanatics. All Fanatic models

ignore any Pinned! results and those that are Pinned! will get up immediately without spending any actions.

Camoufage: models with this characteristic are trained to Hide. When an enemy tries to spot them they can force him to reroll

1d6 of a successful Spotting Test .

Commander: a model with this characteristic can use his action to Indicate a Target just like the squad’s sergeant. In order to

differentiate between different targets use the Commander’s Target marker .

Fanatic: the men are inspired to acts of incredible courage by their leader or by their beleifs. When the squad reaches its

 Breakpoint the men test normally but, if they fail, they are not removed but become Fanatics (use markers to remind you).

These models can only perform the Assault, Run and Stand Up actions. They each add 1d6 to movement but they must follow

the shortest route towards the closest enemy model. Once it becomes a fanatic the model cannot return to being a normal

soldier but does get the Trained with the bayonet characteristic. Fanatic models do not perform a Morale Test , but will retreat

automatically with the rest of the squad if the Breakpoint is reached for the second time.

Jungle specialist: when a model with this characteristic (or armed with a weapon that has this characteristic) moves through

wooded or overgrown areas (woods, jungle, cultivated elds) he does not apply the penalties shown on the Terrain Table. Just

imagine him hacking through the vegetation.

Lethal: the model or the weapon with this characteristic treats Damage as one level more serious (e.g. a Wound becomes a KIA,

or  Pinned! becomes a Wound ).

Multiple assault: if you kill an enemy in Melee you can move another 1d6cm. If this movement allows you to reach another 

enemy consider him as engaged and a new Melee ensues. If the enemy reacts then check  Priorities to see who goes rst.

Sharp: weapons with this characteristic can re-roll 1d6 in a Melee.

Stealthy: models with this characteristic are deployed last along with any infltrators. Since they know the land they can be

deployed anywhere, but at least 30cm from all enemy models.
