Special Rules
Team (2 men)
Team consists of 2 men. 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 a -1 penalty to its morale value.
Team (3 men)
Team consists of 3 men. 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 a -1 penalty to its morale value.
Team (4 men)
Team consists of 4 men. 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 a -1 penalty to its morale value.
Tough Fighters
Each model has two attacks in close quorter combat against infantry and artillery, regardless of what weapons are
carried.
Assault
This weapon suffers no penalty 'to hit' when moving and shooting. In addition, infantry armed with an assault weapon
can make two attacks in close quarter fighting against other infantry and artillery units - see p55. Note being armed
in this way does not confer two attacks against vehicles at close quarters
Kamikaze (vehicle hit PEN +8)
If a suicide anti-tank team assaults an enemy vehicle and the model manages to move into contact with the target,
remove it and immediately resolve a hit against the vehicle with a Penetration value of +8 (no other penetration
modifiers apply)
HE (2D6)

PIN: D3, PEN: +3 - Infantry and artillery can go down to halve the hits taken
Forward position
Counts as Observers/Snipers for Set-Up purposes (see page 118 of the Bolt Action rulebook)
Fixed
Fixed weapons cannot be fired when a unit is given an advance order.
