Special Rules
Open-topped
(p118) Pinned by hits from small arms in the same way as soft-skins and infantry. If assaulted by infantry open-
topped armoured vehicles are destroyed automatically if the vehicle is damaged, in the same way as for soft-skins.
If hit by indirect fire then add +1 to the damage result roll. Note that all hits upon the upper surface of armoured
vehicles count +1 penetration regardless of whether the target is open or not - so open-topped armoured vehicles
suffer a double penalty: +1 penetration and +1 damage result
Shaped Charge
(p73) Never suffer the -1 penetration modifier for firing at long range.
Team (2 men)
(p73) A Team weapon shoots at full effectiveness so long as there are at least two men to serve it. If only one man
remains then the weapon suffers a -1 to hit penalty, and (p42) -1 penalty to its morale. For squad-based team
weapons, loader must remain within 1" or weapon suffers the -1 to-hit penalty.
Team (3 men)
(p73) A Team weapon shoots at full effectiveness so long as there are at least two men to serve it. If only one man
remains then the weapon suffers a -1 to hit penalty, and (p42) -1 penalty to its morale. For squad-based team
weapons, loader must remain within 1" or weapon suffers the -1 to-hit penalty.
HE (1")
(p68) PEN: +1, PIN: D2 (D3 if in building) - Infantry and artillery can go down to halve the hits taken
HE (2")
(p68) PEN: +2, PIN: D3 (D6 if in building) - Infantry and artillery can go down to halve the hits taken
Assault
(p66) This weapon suffers no penalty 'to hit' when moving and shooting. In addition, infantry models armed with an
assault weapon count as tough fighters (page 91). When a tough fighter scores a casualty in close quarters against
infantry or artillery, it can immediately make a second damage roll.
Indirect fire
(p71)
Gyro-stabiliser (Veterans only)
Weapon does not suffer the -1 'to hit' penalty for shooting and moving if the crew are Veteran. This does not apply to
vehicles with Inexperienced or Regular crew, nor does it apply to any co-axial machine gun.
(75mm) HE (2")
Instead of using the 1" template, use the 2" template (75mm gun tanks)
Gun shield
(p95) The die roll an enemy requires to score damage from the front arc of the gun is increased by +1. The die roll is
modified by the penetration value of the weapon in the usual way. Hits from HE (both direct and indirect), flame
throwers, and close quarters attacks ignore the gun shield rule.
Flak
All enemy units not currently down automatically fire at the attacking aircraft if it is within their firing arc and range,
regardless of whether they have already taken an action or not that turn. Flak fire does not require an action. Line of
site ignored. Rolls to hit aircraft are always at a -2 penalty. Friendly flak units must test to hold their fire (page 67)
Fixed
(p66) When given Advance order, fixed weapons can rotate on the spot suffering a -1 to-hit penalty. Non-artillery
Fixed can move normal 12" when given Run order.
