The following special rules are characteristic of British forces, reflecting their own style of equipment, tactics, and approach to battle. Special rules that apply to a variety of nations can be found on page 118.

BRITISH BULLDOGUnits with British Bulldog have a better Counterattack rating.

MIKE TARGETWhen a Spotting Team successfully Ranges In an Artillery Unit with Mike Target, they may immediately roll to Range In another Artillery Unit. If successful, the second Artillery Unit is treated as Ranging In on the same attempt as the first.

HMG CARRIERA Vickers HMG Team that started the turn as a Passenger in a MG Transport may fire the carrier’s hull-mounted vehicle machine-gun as a Vickers HMG team at their full ROF of 6 and a range of 24”/60cm as long as the vehicle does not move. However when moving, the weapon is reduced to the usual ROF 3 and 16”/40cm range of a vehicle hull-MG.

While firing the machine-gun as a Vickers HMG team, it counts as the vehicle’s Main Gun.The Vickers HMG team that fires cannot Dismount in the same turn, except to escape the destruction of their vehicle.

NIGHT ATTACKA player commanding a force containing a Motor Company or Rifle Company may elect to make a Night Attack in a mission where the defender has Minefields. If they do so, Night Fighting Dawn rules (see page 113 of the rulebook) are in effect at the start of the game.Units from Formations with the Night Attack rule can move freely from the start of the game. British Units from other Formations or Support may not move out of their Deployment Area until morning breaks.

SEMI-INDIRECT FIREWeapons capable of Semi-indirect Fire that did not move in the Movement Step may re-roll failed rolls To Hit when targeting a Team more than 16”/40cm away.
