HOW GOOD ARE YOU/WHAT DID YOU BRING

OUTSTANDING SOLDIERS

Some men have characteristics that make them stand out from the average soldier. to reflect this, roll a D10 for each man at the start of the game. if any unusual abilities show up, record them on the record sheet by that man's name. D10 Results:

1,2,3,4,4,5 = No outsatnding characteristics

7 = Speedy, may move 2" faster than normal at all times.

8 = Good arm, may throw grenade 2" farther than the normal man.

9 = Street fighter, adds +10 in hand to hand fighting.

10 = Sharpshooter, Adds +10 to chances of hitting with rifle or pistol. Does not apply to automatic weapons or crew served weapons.

NOTE: If a person rolls a characteristic that is not usable in his current assignment (Tank loader is a street fighter, for example) this is just another example of the Army's assigning a "Square peg" to fit a "round hole".

AMMUNITION ALLOTMENT TABLE

The game master can specify how much ammunition each player has. If you want to randomize this, use the tables below. Next to the appropriate weapon, test to see the amount of ammunition that is carried at the start of the game for each man.

Roll a D10 for each infantryman before the game starts and consult the following table to see how many grenades they have.

1 = 1 Grenade
2,3,4 = 2 Grenades
5,6,7 = 3 Grenades
8,9 = 4 Grenades
10 = Forgot to bring any Grenades!
