Activation Phase

Bluff Token – Cannot be given to a unit with a personal order.

Heavy Vehicles – When they move over a wrecked Light Vehicle, they inflict one demolition point (v1.2b rules, p. 11, under "Structure"). They can also stop on the wreck if they want.

Heavy Vehicles – May normally capture objectives, unless the scenario say otherwise.

Infantry – Can pass between buildings, but may stop or even assault in such an alley.

Rowboats – Move like other vehicles, they just require crew to be able to move.

Firing Action

Bonuses to Shooting – only apply to shooting, not to Assault. Don't forget the Shot Resolution chart on p. 20!

Firing Arc – applies to all weapons on a Heavy Vehicle unless specified otherwise (Churchill Crocodile).

Suppressive Fire – How does it work?

Heavy Vehicles – Damage localization roles made on HV's are not affected by Suppressed markers.

Supply Phase

Opportunity Fire – Can I use it in the Supply Phase movement? No.

Extra Action Cards – How do Commando or Airborne cards work?

Terrain and Terrain Overlays

Buildings – Howitzer attacks may fire out of them, however Indirect Fire attacks may not.

Buildings – Multi-room Buildings have Special rules for LoS, grenades, etc.

Bunker – Your unit cannot enter a bunker's windows under any circumstances, not even with a special ability or card.

Fords – If there is no symbol indicating a water zone in what would otherwise be a river, it is a Ford. All units can cross that space, including Amphibious units. It is impossible to hide in a Ford (SoN rules, p. 10)

Equipment

Demolition Charges – Cannot be placed by Vehicles.

Traits

Sharpshooter – Applies only to the units base attack, does not modify equipment (grenades, etc.) or cards (Panzerfaust).

Command Orders

Infiltrated (Miller's Rangers) – This order only applies to units from Miller's Rangers.

Special Abilities

You may find the Special Abilities list helpful if you have a question about an unknown Special Ability. It is old, but still helpful.

The Immutable Rule – Only applies to Special Abilities, so a card can violate the rule.

Blitzkrieg – Rules can be found here.

Engineer (3 Gears) – This is the Engineer symbol, found in the D-Day book.

Flamethrower – Rules are in the D-Day book. Rules for Fire are available in the Pointe du Hoc PDF. There is also some clarifications available here. If you assault a flamer you do not have to occupy the space.

Limited Range 0 – Unit cannot shoot at all, but only melee (Assault).

Medic (Red Cross) – This is covered in the Special Abilities list.

NCO Stripes – These denote the NCO ability.

Substitute (Range 2 wound icon) – This is covered in the Special Abilities list.

Urban Fighter (Structure House with White Arrow) – This one is covered in the Special Abilities list.

Action Cards

Fall Back – The Unit stops if it hits Difficult Ground, but is not destroyed.

Geballte Ladung – Is affected by Return to Sender.

Go! Go! Go! – Can only be played during one of your activations, but does not have to include the unit that is activating that phase.

It Bounced Right Off! — Affects all shots, including grenade attacks, Artillery, Airstrikes, an flamethrowers. However it only cancels the damage, not any additional affects such as a Suppressed marker from a Flamethrower.

Schnell! – Can only be played during one of your activations, but does not have to include the unit that is activating that phase.

Surprise! – If you use this card to assault a unit on the other side of a window and lose the assault, you will need a second Suprise! to avoid being destroyed during the retreat, which counts as a move action.

Thank the Helmet – Can be used to avoid a Booby Trap.
