INFANTRY AND AFV BOW, REAR AND TURRET-TOP (AA)MG's

Let us assume that the Finnish T26 survived (bad Damage Caused roll) the Russian tank's shot and fired back, hitting the Russian BT7 in the Front Side which is determined visually. The "Finnish" player rolls one die and gets a "5".

The Hit Location Table is consulted and it is determined that the hit was on the "Si Tur", Side Turret.

The Russian tank's Side Turret armor is a whopping 13 mm. The Finnish 45mm
shell can pentrate 63mm. A Damaged Caused roll is made with two
percentile dice which results in an 87% being rolled. The Russian tank is destroyed
and on fire.

The Towed Gun section refers to the result of a die roll against an emplaced gun (once all modifiers have been satisfied)with the attacker using HE (High Explosive) shells. The gun can be Eliminated, Suppressed for one turn or Missed entirely.

INFANTRY TABLE

We also have extensive infantry combat rules and a number of tables that refer to their combat capabilities. This is an example of the units that are in conflict in the featured Russian/Finnish Scenerio. As this scenario was unique, there were no Finnish troops listed, so the German SS capabilities were used as the Finnish mountain troops were a highly trained and disciplined group who were in their element.

This table refers to their relative capabiltites when "NMV", Not Moving and MV", Moving. The ranges are in inches. "CA" stands for Close Assault and "OR" for Overun. Once the firepower of the units have been determined at the range that they are firing, a second table, the Defense/Firepower Table" is consulted and the conflict is resolved. I will include a section of this table on the next page.

The Infantry Table includes all of the major combatants of the Western and Eastern Fronts and include the weakest units (ie. the German Volksturm - people's army) to the elite units including the British Paratroopers and American Rangers.


MG FIREPOWER TABLE

Until the advent of the tank, machine guns were the real terror weapon of the early infantry battles. World War II saw the evolution of the machine gun into lighter, faster shooting, more accurate, and deadly weapons. They have the capability of "reaching out and touching someone" often out of range of the enemy.

Distance is measured from the gun to the target. The firepower is determined, as is the target's defense, which is found on the infantry (or vehicle)table. These numbers are compared and resolved. These are for NON-MOVING targets and firer. If either the firer or target is moving, add +1 to the target's defense. If both are moving, +2 to the defense.

Note* I will be adding "modifier" tables in the not-too-distant future.
