French Army - Furia Francese
- Rule Category
- Nations
- Description
- French Army (Nations 7 - French Army) The French Infantry (1940) figures represent French Infantry imbued with the “Furia Francese” spirit. French Infantry units have 4 figures. When indicated in the scenario’s Briefing Notes, place 4 French Infantry figures in each scenario hex containing a French Infantry unit. Furia Francese When the “Furia Francese” rule is in effect, any French Infantry unit that successfully eliminates an enemy unit or forces it to retreat following a Close Assault may either Take Ground and not battle or stay in place and make a second Close Assault attack against another adjacent enemy unit. This second Close Assault is made with only 1 die, ignoring any Terrain battle die reductions. The French Infantry may Take Ground following this second attack, if eligible, but it may not do more than one Furia Francese Close Assault this turn. The Furia Francese only applies to standard Infantry units, never to Specialized troops (Special Forces, Combat Engineers, units equipped with Special Weapon Assets, etc.).

Half-Track (Resupply Rules)
- Rule Category
- Weapons
- Description
- HalfTracks Resupply When Re-Supply rules are in effect and a Half-Track is adjacent to a friendly ground unit that is weakened, i.e. that no longer has the full figure count it had at the start of the scenario, the Half-track may re-supply that ground unit instead of battling. Units that can thus be re-supplied include Infantry, Armor, Artillery and Cavalry units, among others. Units that are formed of a single figure (e.g. Snipers, Airplanes on the ground, etc...), Trains, and Landing Crafts can never be re-supplied. A Half-Track unit may move before it re-supplies a weakened unit and a weakened unit may move before it is re-supplied. The Re-Supply Action takes place during the Battle phase of the Game Turn (Step 4 on the Game Turn sequence on page 6 of the Memoir '44 Rule book). For each Half-Track figure removed by the player from its Half-Track unit, one figure (of the correct type) is returned to a weakened adjacent friendly ground unit. A re-supplied unit may not gain more figures than it had at the start of the game. More than one adjacent weakened unit may be re-supplied from the same Half-Track unit during this phase, but none of the units being re-supplied, nor the Half-Track unit, can battle this turn. Half-Track figures that are used to re-supply an adjacent friendly unit are removed from the game and never count towards a Medal for the opponent.

Half-Track / Sd.Kfz 250 (overview)
- Rule Category
- Weapons
- Description
- Half-Tracks Unit The number of Half-Track figures to deploy in a HalfTrack unit is indicated in the small yellow circle located in the lower right corner of the Half-Track icon. This number may range from 1 to 3 figures. A Half-Track unit is treated like Armor for all purposes. Half-Tracks Targeting: The attacker scores 1 hit for each Armor symbol or Grenade rolled against the Half-Track unit when being targeted in battle. Half-Tracks Medals: A Half-Track unit hit by enemy fire and destroyed does not necessarily provide the opponent with a Medal, unlike other units in the game. To keep track of this, we recommend placing each eliminated Half-Track figure next to a Medal stand, until three Half Track figures are gathered, at which point you can place one of these figures on the Medal stand, to count as a Medal won, and remove the other two. Half-Track figures removed from the board as a result of re-supplying your troops (see Re-Supply, below) never count toward a medal; instead, these figures are simply removed from the board, once used. Half-Tracks Movement & Battle: An ordered Half-Track unit may move up to 2 hexes and battle any enemy target unit 2 or fewer hexes away. It combats with 2 dice. On a successful Close Assault, it may Take Ground but not do an Armor Overrun. Instead of battling, it may re-supply another unit (see below). Half-Tracks Resupply: When Re-Supply rules are in effect and a Half-Track is adjacent to a friendly ground unit that is weakened, i.e. that no longer has the full figure count it had at the start of the scenario, the Half-track may re-supply that ground unit instead of battling. Units that can thus be re-supplied include Infantry, Armor, Artillery and Cavalry units, among others. Units that are formed of a single figure (e.g. Snipers, Airplanes on the ground, etc...), Trains, and Landing Crafts can never be re-supplied. A Half-Track unit may move before it re-supplies a weakened unit and a weakened unit may move before it is re-supplied. The Re-Supply Action takes place during the Battle phase of the Game Turn (Step 4 on the Game Turn sequence on page 6 of the Memoir '44 Rule book). For each Half-Track figure removed by the player from its Half-Track unit, one figure (of the correct type) is returned to a weakened adjacent friendly ground unit. A re-supplied unit may not gain more figures than it had at the start of the game. More than one adjacent weakened unit may be re-supplied from the same Half-Track unit during this phase, but none of the units being re-supplied, nor the Half-Track unit, can battle this turn. Half-Track figures that are used to re-supply an adjacent friendly unit are removed from the game and never count towards a Medal for the opponent. ADDITIONAL TERRAIN CONSIDERATIONS A terrain that is identified in the rules as Impassable or Impassable to Armor & Artillery is also considered as impassable to Half-Track units. In addition: ◆ Oceans & Shorelines - Half-Tracks cannot retreat into ocean hexes, except when on a Landing Craft. ◆ Cliffs & Sea Bluffs - Half-Tracks may not move up/down from the beach, oceans or shorelines. ◆ Wire - Half-Tracks may remove wire just like Armor units. ◆ Railroad Bridges & Railroad Tracks - Half-Tracks moving onto a Railroad Track or Railroad Bridge must stop. COMMAND CARD CONSIDERATIONS ◆ Armor Assault - Half-Track unit may be ordered by this Command card. Units in Close Assault roll 1 additional die. ◆ Ambush, Close Assault, Firefight - Half-Track unit may be ordered by these Command cards. ◆ Infantry Assault, Move Out, Behind Enemy Lines, Dig-in, Medics & Mechanics - Half-Track unit may not be ordered using any of these Command cards. ◆ Their Finest Hour - Half-Track unit may be ordered by this Command card when an Armor symbol or a Star is rolled. Ordered units battle with 1 additional die. ACTIONS CONSIDERATIONS ◆ Collapsible Rafts and Boats - Half-Track unit may not be transported by Collapsible Rafts or Boats. ◆ Heroic Leader - Heroic Leader may not be added to a Half-Track unit. ◆ Hospital Recovery, Oasis Recovery - Half-Track unit may not recover in a Hospital or Oasis. ◆ Reinforcements - Half-Track unit may not be called in as Reinforcement.
