New Rules
1. Terrain Height
Terrain is now identified as at Level 0, 1, or 2. If units are “higher” than another one, they can shoot over them.
2. Air Superiority
In the previous edition of the game, the Allies always had air superiority. Thus when they received the Air Power card, Allies would always roll two dice per hex, while the Axis always rolled one die per hex. But now there is a chart to indicate, based on the year and the theatre of war, who has superiority. Sometimes it is Allies; sometimes Axis; sometimes neither.
