NEW RULES Slope Spaces

A unit in a Slope space does not block line of sight when a shot passes
from one elevation to another, across the red line, to which it is directly

They are always set up between two spaces, and are never positioned
diagonally.
For aesthetic reasons, they have two faces. One for use on grass, and
one for use on sand or road.

This slows down movement of infantry

vehicles. An infantry unity must stop
its movement when it passes through
barbed wire. A vehicle passes over it

the obstacle.
A vehicle equipped with the Cullin Hedgerow Cutter can discard a Cullin
Hedgerow Cutter marker in order to remove all the barbed wire through
which it passes during its move. D
Elevations

ability can Suppresse units inside a bunker by shooting directly
on one of the units or by targeting the bunker itself. Roll a number
B of dice equal to the value indicated in the symbol. If you roll at least a 6,
assign one (and only one) Suppressed marker to each unit in the bunker.
Ambushed units are not affected by this rule.

Landing Craft
There are two types of landing craft: large and small.
NEW EQUIPMENT
They are placed at the start of the game, or according to the American
players choice, provided their availability is indicated by the scenario. Shovel
The stern of the landing craft must touch the edge of the terrain tile. This option grants you 4 shovel tokens.
Units can exit it by one of the three spaces in front of the landing craft. Each token can be used in two different
ways.
During an assault: Discard a Shovel
token in order to get a +1 bonus to your
result. You can use as many tokens as
you wish on a single attack, but you must announce
their use BEFORE rolling the die.

After a move: Place a shovel token between

your units space and any adjacent space.
Place it on the sand side. You can use it this
way only on the beach.

They become the attackers deployment zone.

You can deploy units there at the start of the game, or at the end of
any Supply phase, respecting the rules of the Transport special ability.
A landing craft has a transport capacity of 7. If you deploy a vehicle
there, it takes all the space.
Units deployed during a Supply phase must wait until the following turn
to act, either during the activation phase with the aid of an Order token,
or during the Supply phase.
You cannot deploy new units in a landing craft as long as there is still
a unit inside it.
You must always leave at least one landing craft empty.
If the units in a landing craft receive Order tokens, we suggest that you
place them off the board, behind the landing craft.
Units inside the landing craft cannot be targeted.
A large landing craft can fire if it receives an Order token.
Landing craft can be destroyed.
If this happens, remove the landing craft from the game.
The troops inside do not suffer any damage, but must be redeployed
on the free adjacent spaces, or on the spaces occupied by the landing
craft. The owner of the units decides where to redeploy them. If there
are no free spaces for a unit, it drowns.
Place a Suppressed marker on each unit.
At the start of a Supply phase, the player can attempt to replace a
destroyed landing craft. He rolls a die. If the result can be found on one
of the destroyed crafts, he can put it into play again on a sea space of
his choice, with the landing crafts stern touching the edge of the board.
Special Deployment
In the scenarios that involve a landing, the American player can deploy
a number of counters limited by the number of landing craft available
(with the exception that he must always have one empty).
He must choose the units from one recruitment tile or from one
recruitment option and deploy them distributed however he likes
across the available landing craft. He cannot deploy some now, and
others next turn.
Grapnel
This option grants you 3 Grapnel tokens.
A unit can, instead of moving or shooting,
with an Order token or during the Supply
phase, place a Grapnel marker on an adjacent
cliff space. It can do so during a Supply phase if it does
not move.
Once the Grapnel has been placed, infantry units can
enter the cliff space, but not vehicles.
You cannot use the Firing on the Move special ability while
climbing with a grapnel.
Bangalore
This option grants you 6 Bangalore tokens.
During the Activation phase, a unit with an
Order token, instead of moving or shooting,
can:
- either place a Bangalore marker between two
spaces that are adjacent to it (A) or in a straight
line at the end of another Bangalore token that
is already placed (B).
- or, if it has the Engineer special ability, detonate it. In this
case, all the Bangalores in the line explode, and affect the
units and terrain overlays in the spaces on each side of the line.
Elements mounted on a space touched by the explosion are also
affected. Discard the markers.

In the example below, the player chooses to deploy a tank in one of the
landing craft, and the units from its recruitment tile in the other.
The lieutenant and the Recon Team are worth 1 transport point each.
The Rifle Team and the Support Team, 2 points each. He adds to it his 1
point mortar for a total of 7 transport points. The landing craft is full. It

 PLAYER GENERATED LANDINGS V1.0
Define the Game
In order to start, you must define the size of the defenders army. The
defender does not have to be the German player. The number will
depend on the importance of the engagement.
This number of army points will also define the elements that you
must place.
Size of the battlefield: The number of gameboards and
terrain overlays that make up the terrain. Half of the boards
must represent the beach with the sea.
Place on them the number of elements indicated (bunker,
building, defensive positions), as well as the obstacles
(barbed wire and Czech hedgehogs). Half of them are chosen
and placed by the attacker, the other half by the defender.
Number of objectives: The attacker must control a certain number
in order to win the game. This number is indicated in parentheses.
Number of bonus tactics: Randomly select the number of bonus
tactics indicated from among the 6 available. Try not to look at them
when you place them, nor at the ones you set aside.
Number of turns: The number of turns that the game will last.
Create the armies:
Once all these elements are defined, assemble your forces.
The defender constructs his army by spending his army points.
He divides them into groups (see table, column 1).
Each group must have a value of at least 150 points.
The attacker takes the number of recruitment
tiles and landing craft indicated by the table.
This could be a section or a Field Command /
Feldkommando.
He must take at least one small landing craft.
He then chooses the number of heroes indicated by the table.
He puts into an opaque bag all the option tiles corresponding to his
recruitment tiles, the common options tiles (equipment, units, vehicles,
character traits) and the orders tiles if he purchased an Officer.
Select the cards to build your decks (at least 40).

Version 1.1 - August 2014
The attacker always has the initiative. Thus he deploys
first in the landing craft (leaving one landing craft empty).
The defender positions his first group in the deployment zone. This
zone comprises the spaces of higher elevation, those represented by
grass.
Victory Conditions and Particular Information:
Each turn, at the end of the Supply phase, the attacker draws
the number of tiles indicated by the table. He keeps the number
indicated in parentheses, and discards the others (he does not
put them back in the bag).
He divides the options between the locations on the recruitment tiles,
respecting the rules of the colored bands.
If he unlocks a star this way, he gains an Order token for the next turn.
If the option cannot be placed on a recruitment tile, he discards it.
He the deploys his new units, respecting the transport rules for landing
craft.
He must always leave one landing craft empty.
Adjust the number of Order tokens at the end of each Supply
phase, according to any casualties and units entering play.
The defender brings his groups into play in the following Supply phases:
2 Groups: The second group enters in Turn 2.
3 Groups: The second group enters in Turn 2, the third in Turn 4.
4 Groups: The second group enters in Turn 2, the third in Turn
4, the fourth in Turn 6.
Place the event markers on the turn counter so you dont
forget them. Use the neutral markers if you dont have enough
markers in the defenders color.
These units enter on any space on the side opposite the beach.
The game stops at the end of Turn X, or when the attacker
controls the number of objectives defined by the table below.
If at the end of turn X the attacker has not fulfilled his objective,
the defender wins the game.
