Landing Craft / LCT 202
- Rule Category
- Weapons
- Description
- Landing Craft are treated like Armor for all purposes. Landing Craft function as follows: You may deploy a Landing Craft figure under any unit in the water, situated on the last line of Ocean hexes on the board (the line of hexes closest to the board's border). The LCT 202s are designed to represent all types of landing craft, and may carry not only Infantry, but also Armor and possibly Artillery units. These Landing Craft are not a "unit" per se, in that they do not give any medal to the opponent, and cannot be targeted directly. Instead, they act as a vehicle that improves and supplements the movement capabilities of the units they carry. ◆ Movement: Landing Craft (and the unit they carry) can move up to 2 hexes, on Ocean and Shore hexes (Shore hexes are those Ocean hexes that are closest to the beach, illustrated as part Ocean and part Beach). Landing Craft can also retreat, even on Ocean hexes. When a Landing Craft finishes its move on a beach or shore hex, it is automatically removed, at no medal cost, and the unit it carried is left on the hex where it landed. ◆ Battle: Landing Craft have no direct battle capability, and the units they carry may not battle while in them or during the turn in which they land on the shore. If the unit inside a Landing Craft is eliminated, the Landing Craft is immediately removed from the board, but yields no Victory medal. ◆ Line of Sight: Landing Craft block line of sight.

- 10 When turned sideways, a pair of Exit markers designates an interval of edge hexes; this interval includes the two hexes on which the Exit markers are placed. IV. New Obstacles Field Bunkers (Desert) Same effect as Bunkers ( p. 16) In addition, either side may claim it as a defensive position. N Air check: 2 Road Blocks (Desert) N Movement:Only an Infantry unit may enter a Road Block hex. An Infantry unit that enters a hex with a Road Block must stop and may move no further on that turn. N Battle: A unit on a Road Block is protected on all sides. A Road Block reduces the number of Battle dice rolled by 1 when attacked by Infantry or Armor. Artillery battle dice are not reduced. A unit on a Road Block hex may ignore the first flag rolled against it. N Line of Sight: A Road Block does not block line of sight. N Air check: 1 V. New Badges & Units Combat Engineers Combat Engineer units were used throughout WWII to increase the combat effectiveness of the corps. They provided mobility, countermobility, survivability, topography and engineering support. An Engineer unit moves and battles like a Standard unit. However: In Close Assault Combat, an Engineer unit ignores all terrain Battle Dice reductions, i.e. its enemies are not protected by terrain. An Engineer unit that is on a hex with wire will reduce the number of Battle Dice it rolls by 1 and may also remove the wire from the hex on the same turn. The Engineer unit must be able to battle, to remove the wire. As such, it may not make a movement of 2 hexes and remove the wire on the same turn, unless ordered by an Infantry Assault. An Engineer unit that moves onto a Minef ield hex and is eligible to battle must clear the Minefield hex instead of battling. If the Engineer unit moves onto a Minefield hex and it cannot battle, the Minefield detonates. An Engineer unit must be able to battle to remove a Minefield. It may not make a movement of 2 hexes and remove a Minefield the same turn, unless ordered by an Infantry Assault. Clearing Road Blocks An Engineer unit that moves onto a Road Block hex and is eligible to battle may clear the Road Block hex in lieu of battling. If the unit moves 2 hexes, it cannot remove the Road Block on the same turn, unless ordered by an Infantry Assault.

Mediterranean Theater — PDF p. 19 [mediterranean-19-0]

- Rulebook excerpt
- Description
- 19 Historical Background Following on the success of Operation Crusader, the British Eighth Army had driven Rommel's forces out of Cyrenaica before over-stretching its own supply lines again. Eighth Army had then settled along the "Gazala line" in the desert, west of Tobruk, in a series of brigade-strength occupied "boxes" protected by minefields and wire. The southernmost tip of the line was the fortified box at Bir Hakeim, held by the 1st Free French Brigade of General Pierre-Marie Koenig. At midday on May 26, Rommel launched a feint frontal attack on the central positions of the Gazala line, using small elements of the XX Motorized Corps and truck-mounted propellers to blow dust and reinforce the deception, before pulling all his armored elements back under cover of darkness. His real objective: a daring flanking maneuver to neutralize the Bir Hakeim box at the southern tip of the line, using the enemy's own minefields to protect his flank and rear! Unfortunately, elements of the 21 st Panzer were held up for more than three hours when they ran into the 7th Armoured Division's 3rd Indian Motorized Brigade, some four miles south east of Bir Hakeim. They took heavy losses from their guns before over-running them. Meanwhile the Italian Ariete division was failing to take the box at Bir Hakeim, suffering heavy losses from the 75 mm guns of the 1 st Free French Brigade. The stage is set, the battle lines drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history. Briefing Axis Player [Germany/Italy] N Take 6 Command cards. N You move first.
