MAPBOARD SELECTION & ACTIVATION (13.):

MAPBOARD SELECTION: A8d

INITIAL MAPBOARDS:

2 boards are determined before play begins. N

Upon entering a new board after the western board roll a die . On a roll of ≤ 3 place overlay RR2 on the hexrow 10 hexes from the EBE (hexrow J or X). There is a -2 drm for every board placed after the initial setting.

S? PLACEMENT (4.):

-Place Enemy S? as per 4.1 case a and b on the western board on the first 13 hexes from the FBE [EXC. As per S4.11], 4.1 b on the rest of the western board as well as any other board. Place grey S? on each RR hex regardless of terrain.

-As soon as any S? is being activated after the grey RR S? have been placed, roll a die : on a dr of ≥ 5 the grey RR S? (or its activated units) will start to move offboard along the RR (randomly determine which edge) at the rate of 1 MP per hex per MPh.

-As soon as any grey RR S? has been sucessfully activated the black S? will assume Advance attitude and treat Friendly units as VPO.

SEQUENCE:

Friendly units enter along FBE. Friendly side starts first.

MISSION END (see also 12.5):

The number of turns depends on the number of boards placed (and subsequently activated) Mulitply the number of boards by 7. At the end of the determined turn and at the end of each turn thereafter, perform a dr. If the result is £ 3 the Mission ends immediately.

VP SCHEDULE (12.6;9.41;17.1321):

The Enemy side gains VP for each CVP inflicted.
The Enemy side gains 1 VP for each grey S? exited off board.
Both sides gain VP for eliminating/retaining each train wagon and VP equal to the calibre divided by 20 (FRD) for eliminating/retaining a Railway Gun.
The Enemy side gains 6VP if the MSR3 option is chosen by the Friendly side

MISSION SPECIAL RULES:

1. There is a +1 DRM to each enemy activation on Table A1 and a +2 DRM on Table x2.
