 INTRODUCTION
The aim of this manual is two-fold.
First, it provides a definitive translation
of the advanced rules from S.F.3.D II
Operation Faserei. The rules expanded
the rules for the first game, with a few
changes, though the rules were intended
to be largely compatible. So the S.F.3.D
II rules are presented as the primary rule
set, with a few notes about differences
between it and the original game.
The second purpose for this manual is
to collect the material that appeared in
various sources, including scenarios from
both games, and Tactics, a Hobby Japan
gaming magazine.
S.F.3.D Original and S.F.3.D II
Operation Faserei set in a fictional world
now known as Maschinen Krieger ZbV
3000, or Ma.K. for short.
Setting
Following a brief, but incredibly
destructive world war that employed
nuclear, chemical and biological
weapons, survivors were forced to leave
Earth for colonies on other planets.
Eventually, portions of Earth were
deemed habitable again, and the planet
where humanity began became a colony
world. While life on Earth was initially
difficult, the colony drew little attention
from the Strahl Democratic Republic,
which controlled the region of space it
was in, and it became a popular place for
mercenary veterans of various wars in
the universe to take up retirement.
When the colony eventually turned
prosperous, it drew the attention of the
SDR, intent on enforcing their law and
taxes on the colonists. It wasnt long
under this new rule that the colonists
rebelled. The wealthier colonists backed
a military force organized by the retired
mercenaries, known as the Mercenary
Army.
The Strahl Troops primarily deployed
air superiority fighters and unmanned
tanks. Under pressure, the Mercenary
Army developed armored exoskeletons,
commonly known as the Armored
Fighting Suit, which set off an arms race
that lasted the duration of the prolonged
conflict.

Introduction
This rulebook is a translation of the
rulebook that came with the S.F.3.D II:
Operation Faserei game. In turn, that
work was an expansion for a prior game,
S.F.3.D Original. Both games were a part
of a fiction now known as Maschinen
Krieger, or Ma.K. for short.
Beginners might find this game difficult
to master at first. Experienced gamers
will find many familiar concepts, as well
as a few new ones to learn. For all levels
of play the presentation of the rules
might contribute to their difficulty since
it will be done in the same order as the
original Japanese rules.
To get started with the game, after
reading through the rulebook and
grasping the general outline/synopsis,
its a good idea to start with the basic
scenarios (such as scenario 1).
Players who own the English release of
either game might already be familiar
with the rules provided by Twentieth
Century Imports. This rule set attempts
to be more accurate to the original
material, and should be used in place of
those rules.

[2.1] Map Boards
The maps are marked with a number
from 1 to 7. They can be placed in any
combination to meet the requirements
of the scenario played.
The six-sided shapes printed on the maps
are hexes. All measurement is counted
in hexes and a units location and local
topography are given by what is in the
hex.
[2.2] Game Pieces
The processed, stamped cardboard
tokens are the game pieces. They are
Units, which signify weapons in the
game, and Markers, which indicate
conditions in the game.
The meanings of symbols and numerical
values on the tokens are illustrated on the
next page.
Units can be classified into the following
three types. Unit type is important for
stack restrictions [Section 8.0].
Type I AFS type, when the number of turns set forth in

About the Game
[3.1] Game Progression
The game is designed for two players,
but with a little work, four people can
play. Ma.K. is also suited for solo play.
There are a total of twenty-two
scenarios available between S.F.3.D and
S.F.3.D II. Each scenario establishes the
circumstances of the battle, indicating
military forces, troop set-up, and
winning conditions. While most games
will begin by selecting a scenario for play,
it is possible to create original scenarios,
using existing scenarios as reference.
The game proceeds in punctuations of
time, called turns. The game ends
the scenario are completed. After the last
turn, victory is awarded. If a win or loss
becomes clear during the game, a player
end.
The game takes place on map boards
divided into hexes. Each hex is about
80 to 100 meters across, and each turn
is about 1 minute long. Most tokens
represent one unit, whether it is a heavy
vehicle or mobile suit. For an infantry
squad, one token represents one division,
about 6 to 10 people.
4.0
Sequence of Play
Each scenario uses a fixed number of
turns. The game ends when that number
of turns have been completed. Every
turn consists of four phases and must
proceed in the following order.

1. Air Commitment Phase
Each player secretly divides the aerial
power in hand into Air Combat duty
or Ground Support duty. After the
assignments have been revealed, proceed
with dogfighting and, if possible, break
through.
2. First Players Phase
The first player tests the morale
of infantry units and then proceeds
to attack and move units. The player
may proceed with with air-to-ground,
ground-to-ground, or close quarters
attacks, move, or do any combination of
these actions. Under certain conditions
the first player might receive defensive
attacks from the second player. While
the decision of whichunits will attack
and which will move is up to the player, a
single unit cannot move and attack in the
same phase, with the exception of close
quarters combat.
3. Second Players Phase
This is the same as the first players
phase, but the second player is now
moving and attacking, and receiveing
defensive attacks from the first player.
4. End of Turn Phase
Move the turn marker one frame on
the turn record chart and proceed to the
next turn. When the turn specified by
the scenario ends, the game will end.
Throughout these rules the term
Phase Player is used to refer to the
player whose phase it is. Their opponent
is the Anti-Phase Player.
There is no seperation of player
actions during the End of Turn and Air
Commitment Phases.
5.0
Attacking
For convenience, attack refers to all
kinds of attacks, including close quarters,
with the only exception being dog-
fighting. There are two kinds of attacks,
Direct Attack, which occurs when the
attacker has direct line of sight to the
target, and Indirect Attack, which uses
spotters, so the attacker does not have to
have a view of the target.
Making attacks are not required and are attacking unit hits the target. If the

[5.1.3] Modifiers
The attack Target is calculated by
subtracting the target units defense
ability from the attacking units attack
strength. Additional modifiers are
added depending on the situation
(range, terrain, etc.). These modifiers
are indicated in the Terrain Effects and
Attack Modifiers charts, and explained
below.
1. Terrain
Attack modifiers are based on the terrain
that the target unit is in, and the weapon
that the attacking unit is using. The
terrain of the attacking unit has no effect.
As long as some form of terrain is in
the same hex as the target unit, it will
gain some form of benefit. However, if
the hex is a partial building hex (refer
to [7.17]), a Type II unit will not gain
adjustments for the building.
If the attack crosses a ridgeline, the
attack modifier for the ridgeline is added
to other terrain modifiers. Consequently,
if an attacking unit fires at a target unit
in a forest beyond a ridgeline, with a
laser, the terrain modifier will be (2) +
(2) = -4.
2. Range
If the range is short, the attack target is
usually better. At long range the attack
target is worse. Because the modifier
changes depending on the weapon,
consult the Range adjusted Attack
Ability chart, a part of the Attack
Ability chart.
3. Indirect Attack
If the attack is indirect, a uniform
modifier of 3 is applied.
4. Targets Damage
6
If the target unit is immobilized (M),
there is a modifier of +2.
For strafing runs by air units, there is no
range modifier applied.
All modifiers are cumulative.
Example
An attacker is making an indirect attack
with a rocket, with a range of 9 hexes,
against a target in the forest. The base
attack target is 9 (attack ability defense
ability), the modifier for terrain is (1)
and the adjustment for indirect attack is
(3). The total modifier is (4), and the
final attack target becomes 5. (9 4 = 5)
[5.1.4] Attacks cannot be made against a
hex, from outside that hex, if it contains
units on the attackers side.
[5.2] Direct Attack
When making a direct attack, the
attacking unit must be able to see
the target. For direct attacks, there is
offensive attack, close quarters combat
(both initiated by the phase player), and

the defensive attack that is made by the
anti-phase player.
[5.3] Offensive Attack
Offensive attacks are made by the phase
players units. A unit that makes an
offensive attack cannot move in the same
phase. (Exceptions: see [13.2], Overrun;
and [14.2.2], Infantry Charge).
[5.3.1] Each unit can only make a single
offensive attack in a phase. (Defensive
attacks can be made as many times as
necessary.)
[5.3.2] Multiple units may attack a single
target. Attacks are settled individually
between each attacking unit and the
target unit. (Exception: see [14.2.1],
Stacked Infantry)
[5.3.3] If the units are stacked, multiple
units can attack the same target at the
same time. When the attack is declared,
it must be announced that it will be a

Attack, they can attack separately, but
it changes the way the attacking units
receive defensive attacks (see [5.4.1]
and [5.4.2]). Simultaneous Attacks are
still resolved individually between each
attacking unit and the target unit.
Units that are not stacked cannot
conduct a Simultaneous Attack.
[5.3.4] Attacks that have been
announced must be executed. Even if
the final attack target is below zero, or
the target unit is destroyed with the very
first attack of a simultaneous attack,
even if the attack had no effect, once
it is executed, the attacking player must
check for ammunition expenditure,
energy usage, and accidents.
[5.4] Defensive Attack
When certain conditions are met
during the phase players turn, the anti-
phase player can make attacks with the
appropriate units. These conditions are:
1. If the target unit remains alive after
receiving an attack from within 3
hexes.
2. If a unit is stacked with a target unit
that received an attack from within
3 hexes.
3. The phase players unit entered a hex
adjacent to the anti-phase players
unit, and challenged the anti-phase
players unit to close-quarters
combat.
A unit that has fulfilled any of the above
conditions can proceed with a defensive
attack.
[5.4.1] With conditions 1 and 2, for each
attacking unit firing alone, not part of a
Simultaneous Attack, each unit capable
of making a defensive attack may do so
against the attacking unit.
[5.4.2] With conditions 1 and 2, if the
attacks are part of a simultaneous attack,
each unit capable of making a defensive
attack may do so against one unit of the
attacking stack, after all the attacks of
the attacking units have been resolved.
[5.4.3] With condition 3, when the phase
player moves a unit into an adjacent
hex, the anti-phase player may attack.
This may lead to close-quarters combat,
described later.
[5.4.4] A defensive attack can proceed
any time any of the three conditions
are met. It is possible for a single unit to
make many defensive attacks in a single
phase, and a unit may make offensive
and defensive attacks in the same turn.
(Only one offensive attack is allowed.)
[5.4.5] A defensive attack is a direct
attack only. A defensive attack may not
be part of a simultaneous attack.
[5.5] Indirect Attack
Some weapons may be fired at units that
are not directly visible to the attacking
unit. These weapons are the Doll House
heavy rocket shells, the Sphinxs rocket
shell, and the Goblins TOS anti-tank
rocket shell. In order to make an
Indirect Attack, a third unit must have

The AFS and SAFS can make a Simultaneous Attack against the

check for the weapons usage limit.
If the PKA survives both attacks, it can make a Defensive Attack

If the AFS and SAFS attack seperately, the PKA can immediately

a view of the target, this unit is called a
spotter.
[5.5.1] A spotting unit is anything,
including all ground units and strafing
flying units, as long as the intended
spotting unit has not been used more
than half of its movement points and has
not made any offensive attacks. Spotting
units also may not initiate close quarters
or overrun combat. Once it has been
designated as a spotter, it may not move
more than half of its movement points
or make any offensive attacks in the
current turn. Flying units used to survey
cannot attack ground units.
[5.5.2] Weapons capable of indirect
attacks affect the target hex and the six
adjacent hexes, even when used to make
a direct attack. Unlike most other direct
attacks, the target is not a single unit.
All units within the effect of the attack
are hit. Some large missiles and artillery
cannons will cause effects in hexes up
to two hexes away from the target hex.
Effect range is noted on the Artillery
Capability Chart.
[5.5.3] To determine if an indirect attack
hits, make a single die roll against the
attack target, regardless of the number
of units that will be affected. Determine
the attack results for each unit using its
individual endurance. Units outside the
target hex get a +1 to the endurance roll.
obstructed, the viewing unit has line of
sight to the target unit, allowing it to
attack or spot.
[6.1.2] The line of sight will not pass
through the following terrain, however
the terrain of the hex of the viewing unit
and the target unit do not obstruct the
line of sight.
Obstacle terrain: building, forest, hill,
hexes with smoke markers, and hexes
with fire markers.
These terrains block line of sight without
regard to elevation level, as described in
[6.2].
[6.1.3] Ridgelines and walls obstruct the
sight line, with the following exceptions.
1. When the target is a Type I unit.
If the line of sight crosses a ridge or
wall, and a Type I target unit is in a hex
immediately adjacent to the ridge or
wall, there is a line of sight. There is no
line of sight to Type I targets beyond this
hex. (Figure 6)
2. When the target is a Type II
unit.
Ridge Lines, Unit Types, and Line of Sight
Figure 6
When the target is a Type II unit, line
of sight continues to two hexes past the
ridge or wall. There is no line of sight to
the third hex or beyond. (Figure 7)
Any line of sight established between
two units is mutual.
[6.1.4] There is no limit to the length
of the line of sight, but attacks are still
limited by the weapons range.
[6.1.5] Adjacent units always have line
of sight.
[6.1.6] Units, whether friend or foe, do
not obstruct line of sight or attacks.
[6.2] Elevation
[6.2.1] All terrain symbols have a height.
Consult the terrain effects chart for the
height of each type of terrain.
[6.2.2] If the line of sight passes through
a hex with a height level of 1, that line
of sight is obstructed. If the hex of the
viewing unit and the target unit are both
height level 1, the line of sight is not
obstructed in the above mentioned case.

[5.5.4] An indirect attack cannot be

targeted at a hex that contains a friendly
unit. If the attack effects adjacent hexes,
and one of those units contains a friendly
unit, the attack cannot be made.

6.0
Line of Sight
When making a direct attack, or using Figure 7
a spotting unit for indirect attack, the
target must be visible.

[6.1] Line of Sight

[6.1.1] In order to view the target, the
attackers unit must have a direct line
of sight to the target unit. The line of
sight is a straight line from any part of
the hex the viewing unit is in to any part
of the targets hex. If this line can be
drawn across the terrain without being

8
[6.2.3] Special: When the hex of the
viewing unit, target unit or both units
has a height of 1, the line of sight is not
blocked by ridge lines or walls.
There is an exception if the ridge or wall
is on a hex side of the viewing or target
units hex. In this case use the rules from
[6.1.3].
7.0
Movement
The phase player may move units using
the following rules. These units may also
be subject to defensive attacks from the
anti-phase player.
[7.1] Procedure
[7.1.1] Units move from their current
hex to an adjacent hex, one at a time. A
unit cannot skip hexes.
[7.1.2] The movement capability of a
unit is printed on the front, lower left
corner of its token. The number is the
number of movement allowance the unit
has, and the letter denotes its form of
movement. The movement allowance
is the maximum number of movement
points a unit may spend in a single
phase. The unit may spend any amount
up to this value (Figure 9).
Movement Procedure
[7.1.3] The movement cost to move into
a hex is determined by the terrain and
movement form. This is shown in the
Terrain Effects chart. If a unit does not
have the number of points left to meet
the cost of the terrain, the unit cannot
enter the hex.
[7.1.4] If a hex contains several terrains,
factor in all terrains that influence the
unit entering the hex. If the hex partly
contains water, and the unit cannot
traverse it, then the water can be ignored,
although the unit may not pass through
any hex side that is blocked by that
terrain. Because ridges and walls occur
along hex sides, and not in the hexes,
they are not included in this regulation
(see [7.1.5]).
[7.1.5] On the Terrain Effects Chart, a
(+) is attached to the mobility of ridges
and walls. If a unit enters a hex by passing
through a ridge or wall, the appropriate
movement cost must be added to the cost
of hex being entered. If a hover (H) type
unit enters a desert by passing a ridge,
the cost will be 5 movement points (3 to
enter the desert, and 2 to pass the ridge).
[7.1.6] The movement cost for roads and
trails on the Terrain Effects Chart is used
when the unit is continuing movement
along a road or trail from one hex to the
next. Only the cost of the road or trail
applies and the surrounding terrain is
ignored. If a hex with a road or trail is
entered from a hex that does not contain
2 To enter a hex occupied by an enemy
1 unit, close-quarters combat must take
2 that phase.
a road or trail, the movement cost of the
hex is based on the surrounding terrain,
and the road or trail is ignored.
[7.1.7] There are two kinds of hexes
with buildings. One is the complete
building hex, which is entirely covered
with buildings, and the partial building
hex, which are only partially covered
with buildings. When moving through
hexes with partial buildings, Type I
units are considered to be among the
buildings, as though the unit were in a
complete building hex. If the unit is a
Type II, it is outside the building, in the
surrounding terrain.
When a Type I unit is in a partial
building hex, it benefits from the building
attack modifiers from the Terrain Effects
Chart, and a Type II unit does not (see
[5.1.3], Modifiers).
[7.1.8] W and C type units cannot enter
a river or water hex.
[7.1.9] As long as a unit has not exceeded
its movement points, it may continue to
move. Unused movement points are lost
at the end of the turn, they are not held
over to the next turn, nor can they be
shared with other units.
[7.2] Movement Restrictions
[7.2.1] A unit which made an offensive
attack cannot move in the same phase,
and a unit that has moved cannot make
an offensive attack, except for close
quarters combat (Exceptions: see [14.0]
and [19.0]).
[7.2.2] The unit may not spend more
movement points than its printed value
in a single phase.
[7.2.3] A unit is free to move through
friendly hexes without penalty regardless
of the stacking regulations (explained
later).
place. When entering a hex containing
an enemy, the moving unit must stop
regardless of what movement allowance
remains, and may not be moved again in
[7.2.4] When entering a hex adjacent
to an enemy during movement, the anti-
phase player has an opportunity to make
9
a defensive attack. The phase player does
not have to ask if the anti-phase player
intends to make defensive attacks every
time the moving unit enters an adjacent
hex, but the phase player must clearly
show the route the unit is moving, and
interrupt the movement if the anti-phase
player announces a defensive attack.
Once the attack is resolved, movement
may resume, if possible.
[7.2.5] The phase player may move
units individually or in stacks (see [8.0,
Stacking). Once a unit or stack has
completed its movement, it cannot be
moved further, and the next unit or stack
may be moved.
[7.2.6] When units are moving together
as a stack, the movement of all units is
limited to the lowest movement point
value of the units in the stack.
[7.3] Carrying
A Type I unit that is not immobilized
can carry another Type I unit that
is immobilized. Though Type I, the
N.Spotter and Krachen Vovel cannot
carry units.
[7.3.1] Units must be stacked in order to
carry (see [8.0], Stacking). Declare that
carrying is taking place and the units
will then move together, with the carried
unit at the bottom of the stack. To drop
a carried unit, simply declare that it is
no longer carried. Both picking up and
dropping another unit costs 1 movement
point.
[7.3.2] Units are under the usual
restrictions for stacking when a unit is
being carried, and both units involved
are still targeted separately.
[7.3.3] If the carrying unit is destroyed
or damaged, the unit being carried is
immediately dropped in the current hex.
8.0
Stacking
When two or more units are in a single
hex it is called stacking. There is a
limit on the number of units each army
can stack in one hex. This is called the
stack limit.
10
[8.1] Stack Points
The stack limit is based on stack points.
Each unit has a stack point value based
on its type, as shown below.
Type I, along with Jerry, Oskar, Goblin,
Gladiator, Kafer
................... 1 Stack Point
Type II and Infantry limit. These types of counters may
................... 2 Stack Points
Type III, when strafing
................... 1 Stack Point
[8.2] Stacking Limit
When a phase ends, or during close
quarters combat, the number of stacking
points in a hex must not exceed 4 stack
points (Figure 9).
[8.2.1] While the stacking limit must
be applied at the end of the phase or
in close-quarters combat. At any other
time, such as during movement, it does
not matter how many units are stacked.
[8.2.2] In close-quarters combat, the
stacking limit is separate for each side.
[8.2.3] Even though the NeuSpotter is 1
stack point, two NeuSpotters may not be
in the same hex, unless accompanied by
a Type II unit.
Stacking Limit
Figure 9

1 point
1 point
2 point
[8.2.4] Stacking limits are a concern for
flying units making strafing attacks. The
stack limit for flying units is considered
separately from the stack limit of the
ground units. Therefore, it is acceptable
to have flying units stacked to 4 points
and ground units stacked to 4 points.
[8.2.5] Non-unit markers and pilot
markers are not counted in the stack
even be placed in hexes that are already
stacked to the limit.
9.0
Close Quarters Combat
All attacks between ground units in the
same hex are close quarters combat.
The attacks involved consist of lasers
or small arms on tanks such as the
NutRocker, or even unarmed attacks
used by armored fighting suits.
[9.1] Procedures
A unit that has moved can engage in
close quarters combat in the same phase
(see [7.2.1]). The phasing players unit
must stack in the same hex as the anti-
phase players unit, at which point close
quarters combat begins. The procedure
is as follows.
Stack
4 points
1. The phase player advances a unit
into a hex adjacent to an enemy, and
states intent to enter the enemy hex
and engage in close quarters combat.
(A unit may only enter an enemy
hex if it is going to engage in close
quarters combat).
2. The anti-phase player proceeds with
defensive attacks using any units in
the target hex. The defensive attacks
may target any unit that will be
involved in close quarters combat.
The anti-phase player may choose to
move into the phase players current
hex to engage in close quarters
combat. Once this is decided, the
phase player moves into the target
hex if the units involved are not
already in the same hex as the enemy
unit. The defensive attacks then
proceed in the same hex.
3. After the defensive attack, the phase
players units that remained alive will
proceed to attack. The phase player
decides which units are attacking
which targets, and may have multiple
units targeting a single enemy unit.
[9.1.1] When a unit enters an adjacent
hex, it is possible for defensive attacks
to be made even if there is no intent to
engage in close quarters combat.
[9.1.2] The phase player can move other
units into the hex where close quarters
combat is occurring. This situation is the
same as participating in an ongoing close
quarters combat, described in [9.3.3].
[9.2] Defensive Attacks in
Close Quarters Combat
Defensive attacks against close quarters
combat proceeds in any of the following
situations.
1. When an enemy is in an adjacent
hex.
2. When an enemy enters the same hex.
A unit that engages in case 1 cannot
attack in case 2.
[9.2.1] Defensive attacks for close
quarters combat is completely
discretionary. If, for example, a stack
was targeted for close quarters combat,
it is possible for one portion of the stack
to attack the adjacent hex, for another
portion to attack in the same hex, and
for the remaining portion to not attack.
[9.2.2] After the offensive units have
made their attack, units not attacked in
close quarters combat may not make
defensive attacks.
[9.2.3] Defensive attacks may not be
made into a hex containing friendly
units.
[9.2.4] Selection of targets and resolution
of defensive attacks are conducted on
a unit-by-unit basis. In other words, a
defensive attack may be declared after
seeing the results of another units
attack. However, the natural flow of
time may not be breached; in particular,
if a defensive fire is resolved against a
unit that has moved into the same hex,
a defensive attack may not be declared
against units in the adjacent hex.
[9.2.5] Results of defensive attacks
are applied immediately. If a unit is
immobilized in an adjacent hex, it does
not move into the target hex. If a unit is
destroyed in the same hex by defensive
fire, it does not get to attack.

[9.3] Continuing Close
Quarters Combat
After both sides have conducted attacks
in close quarters combat, if undestroyed
units from both sides remain in the same
hex at the end of the phase, this is called
a continuing close quarters combat.
[9.3.1] If a continuing close quarters
combat exists at the start of a players
phase, the phasing player chooses from
among the following:
1. Conduct close combat as is.
2. Conduct close combat by moving in
additional units as reinforcements.
3. Retreat (move out of the hex).
4. Leave it as is (do nothing).
[9.3.2] If close quarters combat is
continued, the phasing player chooses
a target for each of his units, and then
resolves all attacks in order. After that,
the non-phasing player declares and
resolves his fire in the same way. This
combat is resolved simultaneously; the
phasing players combat results do not
affect the resolution of attacks by the
non-phasing player. Phasing units that
conduct close combat may not perform
any other action this turn. Non-phasing
units may be pinned as indicated in [9.4].
[9.3.3] Additional units may enter the
close quarters combat by following the
normal procedure of moving to an
adjacent hex, where defensive attacks
may be declared. Such defensive attacks
are limited to unpinned units that can
fire into the adjacent hex. Units that
survive these defensive attacks move into
the close quarters combat hex. Same-
Pinned Units in Close Quarters Combat
Figure 14
Either the PKA or Gustav is pinned by the AFS (the phasing player
decides), so only the unpinned unit may make a defensive attack
against the SAFS. When the AFS initially engaged in close quarters
combat, would have been able to make defensive attacks, if neither
were pinned at the time.
12
hex defensive attacks are prohibited, and
the close quarters combat is resolved as
in [9.3.2]. Units that made defensive
attacks at the approaching units may
participate in the close quarters combat
this phase as normal.
[9.3.4] In the case of retreat, defensive
attacks may be conducted against units
once they have moved into an adjacent
hex. If one or more of the phasing
players units remain in the close quarters
combat hex, only unpinned units may
conduct defensive attacks. Units may
move directly from an enemy-occupied
hex to another enemy-occupied hex.
[9.3.5] If the phasing player chooses
to do nothing, there is no penalty, and
defensive fire may not be conducted.
[9.4] Pinned Units in Close
Quarters Combat
Each unit in close quarters combat exerts
some influence over opposing units in
the same hex.
[9.4.1] One anti-phasing unit is pinned
for each phasing unit in the same hex.
For example, if the phasing player has
2 units in a hex, and the anti-phasing
player has 4 units in the same hex, 2
of the anti-phasing players units are
pinned, and the other 2 are unpinned.
[9.4.2] Phasing units that are
immobilized or unable to fire do not
count towards determining the anti-
phasing players pinned units.
The SAFS may enter close quarters combat without taking any
defensive attacks from the PKA or Gustav. In the case of Figure 14,
with 3 units in the hex, the SAFS could be the target for defensive
attacks, even when moving through adjacent hexes (see Figure 4),
but in Figure 15, no defensive attacks are possible.
[9.4.3] Units are not pinned specifically,
only the number of units pinned is
important. The phasing player decides
which units are unpinned.
[9.4.4] Pinned units may not conduct
attacks into other hexes, including
defensive attacks against an adjacent
hex.
[9.5] Unarmed Combat
All Type 1 units may perform unarmed
combat in close quarters combat. All
unarmed combat is performed after
resolution of attacks from opposing
units, except for opposing unarmed
combat. All unarmed combat is resolved
simultaneously.
The to-hit range of unarmed attacks is
always an unmodified 4, regardless of
defensive strength.
10.0
Aeronautical unit
The Falke, PK40, Salamander, and
several other units in the game are
aeronautical units. In addition, when
joined with a PK41, the PKA, Gustav, or
Konrad also become aeronautical units.
Aeronautical units can engage in air-to-
air (dog-fighting) or air-to-ground (air
support) combat. Units assigned to air
combat are fighting for air superiority
and to support units assigned to ground
combat. Units assigned to ground
combat can attack an enemy ground
Figure 15
10
unit, or provide support for indirect
attacks.
[10.1] Procedure
[10.1.1] During the air war phase, both
players assign their aeronautical units
to Air Combat Mission or Ground
Combat Mission. The assigned unit
should be placed in the appropriate
space on the air commitment card.
Units that cannot attack may not engage
in Air Combat Missions. Once both
players are finished assigning their
units, the assignments are compared. air
combat missions are resolved with the
appropriately assigned units, and then
breakthrough is conducted, depending
on the results.
Note: The air commitment cards are
provided in both Japanese games, and at
the end of this rulebook.
[10.1.2] A players units assigned to
ground combat missions resolve their
mission during that players phase.
There are three types of ground combat
missions.
1. Air-to-ground attack
2. Spot for indirect attacks
3. Land (Hornisse only)
An aeronautical unit assigned to ground
combat can only do one of the above
actions.
[10.1.3] An aeronautical unit that
has completed its duty is moved to the
Used space on the duty chart.
If an aeronautical unit has survived, it
can be used again on the next turn.
[10.1.4] A player may withdraw an
aeronautical unit that is deemed as
unnecessary during the air war phase.
However, the unit may not be withdrawn
before the first turn or a turn in which
the unit is deployed.
[10.2] Air Combat Mission
In the air war phase, the aeronautical
units assigned to air combat engage
in battle. Depending on the outcome,
breakthrough is conducted.
[10.2.1] To begin air combat, total the
dog-fight rating of the aeronautical units
for each side. Compare the dog-fight
rating of each side to get the ratio. The
side with the higher rating is the aggressor
(if the powers are equal, the attacking
player, as assigned by the scenario, is the
aggressor). Roll one die and compare the
result to the appropriate ratio column in
the Dog-Fight Resolution Chart. The
values given are the rating points that
each side loses. Each side loses a number
of points as close to the value as possible,
without going over.
-Example-
If the Mercenary Troops only have the
Falke remaining (dog-fight rating of 4),
and receive a loss of 3 points, no units
are affected.
If the Strahl Troops have three PK40s
(dog-fight rating of 2) and two Hornisse
(dog-fight rating of 3), and receive a loss
of 3 points, a single Hornisse is lost. If
the loss is 4 points, two PK40s are lost
instead.
[10.2.2] Units which are lost in air-to-air
combat do not make a durability check.
The units damaged are automatically
destroyed (D).
[10.3] Breakthrough
If there are no opposing units assigned
to air combat missions, or if one side
has a number of units equal to double
that of the enemy after the dog-fight, it
is possible to conduct breakthrough. A
number of units equal to the difference
in the number of units on each side may
attack units assigned to ground combat
missions.
-Example-
If the Strahl Troops assign six units to
air combat, and the Mercenary Troops
assign three units, then the Strahl
have reached the required number for
breakthrough, and three units (6 3 = 3)
may breakthrough.
[10.3.1] Breakthrough is resolved in the
same way as a dog-fight, but the dog-
fight rating of the defensive side is 0.
[10.3.2] Damage from breakthrough is
applied immediately.
[10.4] Air-to-Ground Combat
[10.4.1] Procedure
1. The phase player places ground
combat aeronautical units on the
board. The maximum number of
units that can be placed in a hex is
four (this does not include ground
units). The attacking units may be
placed all at once or individually.
Individual units may be placed
and resolved before the next unit is
placed, and does not count against
the stack limit for that hex. In other
words, if all units attack individually,
they may all attack a single hex.
2. All units of the anti-phase player
in the target hex can make an
anti-aircraft attack against the
aeronautical units (the controlling
player decides which units fire on
which aeronautical units, each unit
can only fire once, and only on
a single aeronautical unit). After
deciding which units will make an
anti-aircraft attack, the attacks are
resolved. Anti-aircraft attacks are
resolved in the same manner as
direct fire.
3. If any aeronautical units survive the
anti-aircraft attacks, they resolve their
attacks on units in the target hex
(similar to anti-aircraft attack). After
declaring which units are attacking
which targets, all attacks are resolved.
4. Once its attack is complete, the
aeronautical unit is placed in the
Used space on the duty chart.
The above procedure is followed for each
unit involved with air-to-ground combat.
[10.4.2] Attacks against ground units
are modified by terrain. There is no
modifier for range.
[10.4.3] Anti-aircraft attacks are not
modified by terrain or range.
[10.4.4] Ground attacks are resolved
during a players phase. (All attacks or
actions involving aircraft are done in
turn, as usual).
[10.4.5] With each air-to-ground attack
it is possible for units to make an anti-
aircraft attack. As indicated by [10.4.1],
each unit in the target hex gets an anti-
aircraft attack with each air-to-ground
attack.
[10.4.6] In both the air-to-ground
and anti-aircraft attacks, the rules for
ammunition limits apply.
13
[10.5] Spot for Indirect Attacks
A single aeronautical unit assigned to
ground combat may provide support
for a single indirect attack, as a spotter.
Simply declare that the unit is providing
support, and after the indirect attack is
resolved, move the aeronautical unit to
the Used space.
[10.6] Landing
The PKA (as well as the Gustav and
Konrad) can join with a PK41 to
become a Hornisse. When entering a
scenario as reinforcement, the Hornisee
is in flight. It may land when assigned to
a ground combat mission. When stacked
in flight, they can land in adjacent hexes.
While the SAFS joins with the Falke II
in a similar manner, separating the two
is not a simple task on the battlefield, so
the Falke II is treated as a single unit.
[10.6.1] The Hornisse (PK41) can land
in any hex it can enter. When it lands,
it immediately separates. After landing,
there are two units stacked in the hex.
The detached PKA cannot move or
attack in the current phase.
[10.6.2] In the phasing players turn, if
the PK41 and PKA are stacked at the
beginning of the turn, they may unit
and launch, although this is optional.
The launching Hornisse is placed in the
Used space of the duty chart.
A PKA that boards a PK41 may not
move or attack in that turn.
[10.6.3] If the landing hex contains an
enemy unit, an anti-aircraft attack can
be made. The landing unit is considered
to have class C durability, and a result
of M (immobilized) or A (armament
disabled), destroys the landing unit. The
result is applied to both the PK41 and
the PKA.
A surviving Hornisse lands and separates.
The PKA cannot attack during the
current phase, but the following
phase starts with the units in a state of
continuing close quarters combat.
[10.6.4] A PKA and PK41 in the same
hex as an enemy may unite and takeoff.
The enemy units may conduct anti-
aircraft attacks, as in [10.6.3].
14
[10.6.5] When the Hornisse lands the
two units separate immediately. This
effects the stack restrictions of the
landing hex.
11.0
Weapons
[11.1] Types of Weapons
[11.1.1] Each units weapon type is
printed on the back of its token along
with attack power and range (see [3.2]
for reference). The types are as follows:
L. Laser
G. Large bore gun (tank guns and
similar weapons)
MG Machine gun
R Rocket
PF PanzerFaust
[11.1.2] The listed weapon of the
Gustav and Konrad is L (the laser), but
in addition it carries the PanzerFaust.
When the Gustav and Konrad use the
PanzerFaust, the attack values are the
same as the PKA. Namely, attack power
10 and range 4.
[11.1.3] The Goblin is listed with L (the
laser), but it also carries rockets. Use the
Goblin rocket token for reference (see
[3.2]). The token is stacked with the
Goblin token, and only shows the attack
power and range of the rocket, but not
the quantity. The quantity is indicated by
a separate token.
The rocket quantity tokens are numbered
from 1 to 4.
[11.2] Usage Limits for
Weapons
[11.2.1] If a laser weapon is fired and
the attack roll results in a natural (5 and
6, or 6 and 6), the power to the laser
is depleted. The current shot is still
resolved, but the laser cannot be used
to make any further attacks. There is
no way to recharge the laser during the
game.
[11.2.2] If a machine gun is fired and
the attack roll results in a natural (6 and
6), the machine gun breaks down. The
current shot is still resolved as normal,
but no further attacks can be made with
this weapon. The machine gun cannot
be repaired.
[11.2.3] If the laser or machine gun
breaks down, place an Arm. Disabled
token to indicate that it cannot use its
weapon.
[11.2.4] For rockets and PanzerFaust
(PF), the number of shots each unit
carries is given below.
Rocket
Doll House......... 4 rounds
Sphinx . ............. 5 rounds
Oscar................. 2 rounds
Goblin................ 3 rounds
Gladiator............ 3 rounds
PanzerFaust
PKA................... 2 rounds
Gustav................ 2 rounds
Konrad............... 2 rounds
Krachen Vogel... 6 rounds
A unit with rockets can only fire one time
during a phase. Two PDF rounds can be
fired in a single phase (only in the case of
defensive fire and anti-aircraft fire).
[11.2.5] Place a rocket count token to
indicate the number of rounds fired.
For example if a unit has fired 3 rounds,
place the 3 token with the unit. Once
the maximum number of rounds has
been reached for rockets and PF, the
numeric counter is removed, and the
Arm. Disabled is placed on the unit.
Until rounds are added, the rocket or
PF cannot be used (see [11.3]). Rockets
may only be reloaded if a scenario gives
specific rules for doing so.
[11.3] Supplement of PF
[11.3.1] For units that use the PF (except
for the Krachen Vogel), it is possible
to reload up to the starting number of
rounds when in the same hex as the
Depot (the ammo dump).
The unit may be supplied the moment
it enters the Depot hex, as long as an
enemy unit is not in the same hex. As
long as an enemy unit is in the hex,
supply is not possible.
[11.3.2] There is no limit to the number
of times a unit may be supplied at any
one Depot.

[11.3.3] If a players unit is unopposed
in the hex of a Depot of the enemy, the
unit may destroy the Depot as its action.
Once the player resolves the action,
the Depot token is removed. In order
to destroy the depot, (1) one movement
point is spent, and (2) the unit attacks
within the hex, and must be able to do
so.
[11.4] Equipment
For aeronautical units, it is possible to
carry equipment other than the standard
armament. The scenario determines the
equipment carried.
[11.4.1] The additional equipment
includes three types of bomb, missile,
and laser. The appropriate marker (see
[3.2]) is placed under the unit to show
that it is equipped.
[11.4.2] The bomb and missile can only
be used when the aeronautical unit is
assigned to a ground support mission.
When attacking the unit can use either
its equipment or its regular attack. Once
the piece of equipment is used, the
marker is removed.
The laser can be used for air support or
ground support missions. The laser can
be used any number of times, but the
normal rules apply for the energy limit
(see [11.2.3]).
[11.4.3] When using the laser for air-to-
ground attacks, the attack power on the
laser token is used. When using the laser
in air-to-air combat, use the dogfight
power of the unit, and add (+1) for the
marker.
12.0
Miscellaneous Rules
[12.1] Initial Deployment and
Reinforcement
Several scenarios include reinforcements
for either side. Also, some units begin the
first turn on the map without entering
from any particular direction. This is
initial deployment. Units arrive at the
beginning of the turn (ground units
will move onto the board during the
controlling players phase). Aeronautical
units may be assigned to a mission on the
turn they arrive.
Ground units enter the map board
according to the instructions in the
scenario, and have their usual movement.
Units may not arrive through a hex
occupied by an enemy unit.
The entering unit must be able to enter
the terrain of the hex it is arriving in,
and spends movement points to enter
that hex. If the unit arrives in a hex
with a road that extends off of the map,
it spends movement points as if it had
moved along the road.
[12.2] Airdrop
In some scenarios the Nutrocker and
other units are deployed using an airdrop.
During that players phase the air
dropped unit may be placed in any hex it
can occupy using normal movement. If
placed in a hex occupied by enemy forces,
the dropping unit receives anti-aircraft
fire. This anti-aircraft fire is resolved as
a normal ground attack (although the
dropped unit cannot return fire). The
dropped unit has a durability rating of
C for the attack, and a result of M of its movement points (engaging in close
(Immobilized) results in destruction of
the dropped unit. After the anti-aircraft
fire is resolved, a dropped unit which is
not destroyed is placed in the hex with the
enemy units, and cannot attack or move
during the current phase. The opposing
units in the hex are considered to be in
continuing close quarters combat on the
next phase.
[12.3] Defensive Position
Some scenarios indicate the use of
defensive positions. Each marker
represents a suitable shield, trench, or
similar defensive emplacement. The
rating on the marker combines with the
attack modifier of the terrain in the hex.
In order to take advantage of the position
marker, a units marker must be placed
under the marker. Entrance and exit to
a defensive position is carried out during
movement. No movement points must
be spent, but a defensive position already
occupied by opposing units cannot be
entered. If the position marker is empty,
either side can enter. Defensive positions
cannot be moved or removed during the
game.
13.0
Vehicle units
Units classified as vehicles have
additional abilities, such as transport and
overrun attack. This is in addition to the
regular rules for a ground unit.
[13.1] Transporting With a
Vehicle Unit
[13.1.1] All vehicles and tanks of both
forces have the ability to transport Type
I units, infantry units, and pilot units.
This lets infantry units be moved around
more quickly, and relocation of Type I
units that have been immobilized, to a
safe place.
[13.1.2] The transport rules are as
follows. The units being transported
are stacked under the vehicle unit,
to indicate that they are loaded. The
vehicle unit may not move on the turn
that it loads, before or after loading. On
the next turn, the vehicle may move its
regular allowance. When a unit unloads
from the vehicle unit, it must spend half
quarters combat is possible). Infantry
may move its one hex.
[13.1.3] When fired upon, the vehicle
and the units it is transporting are
treated as a single target. The attack is
resolved using the vehicles statistics,
and if the vehicle is destroyed, the units
it transports are destroyed as well. If
the result is immobilized or armament
disabled, only the vehicle is affected.
[13.1.4] Units being transported may
fire. However, they cannot fire and
unload in the same phase.
[13.1.5] Each vehicle unit has a transport
capacity of two stack points. Exception:
The Sph69-p Troop Transport can
carry 6 points of Type I units only (no
infantry), and the Green Buffalo can
carry 10 stack points.
[13.2] Overrun attack
A vehicle unit cannot engage in close
quarters combat. If it is involved with
close quarters combat, it can only receive
attacks. If the vehicle is still armed it
can make an overrun attack, even if it
15
is transporting units at the time (this is a
variation of close quarters combat).
[13.2.1] If an overrun attack is made,
defensive fire is resolved with the same
procedure as close quarters combat,
as the vehicle unit approaches the hex
of the enemy unit (See [9.1]). After the
vehicle unit finishes its attack, it passes
through the hex side opposite the side
it entered. If units in the target hex
have survived, they do not make any
additional defensive attacks because of
this movement.
[13.2.2] The vehicle unit does not have
to spend any extra movement points
to make an overrun attack, however
it must be able to move into the hex
opposite of its approach. If the unit
still has movement points remaining, it
may continue to move and even make
additional overrun attacks.
[13.2.3] Units being transported may
make attacks during the overrun attack,
however any units that participate in the
overrun attack may not unload in that
phase, or make any other attacks.
14.0
Infantry Squads
Tokens marked with the silhouette of
soldiers, or Inf., are Infantry units.
This unit represents approximately four
to ten soldiers and any firearms carried
by them. The unit behaves as a typical
ground unit except for the following
special rules.
[14.1] Infantry Movement
An Infantry unit can move one hex per
turn. An Infantry unit cannot make any
additional movement when loading or
unloading from a vehicle.
[14.2] Infantry Combat
All Infantry units have a specific attack
power and range, just like other units.
The following special rules apply for
Infantry combat.
[14.2.1] Stacked Infantry units may add
their attack power for a single attack.
This is an exception to [5.1.1].
16
[14.2.2] If approaching to engage in
close quarters combat, the infantry unit
can move two hexes. This is an infantry
charge. The infantrys movement value
remains in hexes and does not become
two movement points. For instance, if the
infantry unit was charging along a road
hex, it can still only move two hexes, and
not four (2MP at 1/2MP per road hex
= 4 hexes). The infantrys movement is
unaffected by the movement cost of the
terrain it moves through.
[14.2.3] Defensive attacks against a
charging infantry unit are at a -1 to hit,
in addition to any other modifiers.
[14.2.4] Some infantry units are
equipped with the machine gun (MG).
There is no single machine gun in the
unit; all members of the squad are
equipped with this weapon. Therefore,
if the infantrys to-hit roll is a natural (6
and 6), the weapon does not break down.
[14.3] Infantry Morale
When an infantrys durability roll results
in an M (immobilized) or A (armament
destroyed), the units morale is broken.
Place a Morale Broken token with the
affected units token.
[14.3.1] An infantry unit with broken
morale behaves in the following ways.
1. It cannot attack. If engaged in close
quarters combat or an overrun
attack, the unit can only receive
attacks.
2. I can only move away from enemy
units. If this movement would
provoke defensive fire, then the unit
cannot move.
3. The unit cannot spot. In any scenario
in which the unit must be able to
recognize a target, the unit cannot
satisfy this condition.
4. Any special abilities the infantry are
trying to use automatically fail.
[14.3.2] A unit with broken morale may
attempt to recover at the beginning of
the troop phase on the next turn. To
check for recovery, roll one die. On a
result of one to four, the units morale
is recovered and the Broken Morale
token is removed. On a result of five
or six, the units morale continues to be
broken. The following modifiers apply to
this roll.
1. The broken unit is stacked with
another unit with unbroken morale
or is otherwise capable of making
attacks. -1
2. When located in a forest or building
hex, -2. When inside a defensive
position, -1
3. An enemy unit capable of making
attacks is within 3 hexes, +1
4. The units morale was broken when it
received additional direct or indirect
attacks (show this by flipping over the
Morale Broken token), +1
All of these modifiers are cumulative.
[14.4] Special Infantry Units
The Engineer Squad and Anti-AFS Rifle
Squad are two special infantry units.
Other than the following special rules, all
standard rules for these units apply.
[14.4.1] There are three special abilities
of an Engineer Squad unit.
The first is land mine detection. When an
Engineer Squad is entering a suspected
minefield hex of an enemy the phasing
player rolls one die. On a result of one
to five, the minefield is discovered before
the unit enters the hex. If a minefield is
discovered, the player may cancel the
units movement, and chose to move to
a different hex. (For rules on land mines,
see [19.1])
[14.4.2] An Engineer Squad may also
attempt to cause a fire in a block or
building hex. The target hex must be
adjacent to the unit. A unit attempting
to start a fire cannot move or make any
other attacks on that turn. At the end of
the troop phase, the player rolls two dice
to resolve the attempt. If the result is five
or less, the attempt is successful, and a
fire token is placed in the target hex.
When Engineering Squads are stacked
and targeting the same hex, roll the
dice only once. The result receives a -2
correction (even if it is a stack of 3 or
more). For each additional Engineering
Squad beyond the first two, there is a
-1 correction to the result (Note: If the
modifier is received, none of the assisting
units can move or attack in that turn).
See section [19.4] for the effects of fire.
[14.4.3] If, on an enemy turn an
Engineering Squad is fired upon, but

does not take damage (-), it may make
an arson attempt instead of its defensive
attack (see [14.42]). The attempt is made
with only a single squad, so no assistance
modifiers can be applied.
[14.4.4] The Anti-AFS Rifle Squad was
commonly used when the AFS was not
available in sufficient quantity. The squad
has been specifically trained to fight AFS
type units. The rifle carried by the squad
is short ranged, but is powerful enough
to deliver a killing blow to an AFS. An
Anti-AFS Squad consists of four soldiers,
their equipment, and a single Anti-AFS
rifle. Because the weapon is of type L
(laser), if a natural result of (5 and 6, or
6 and 6), the power source of the laser
rifle is drained. The unit cannot make
an attack using the weapon on the next
turn, but may attack normally after that.
15.0
Concealment
Use of this rule is up to the players to
agree upon. This is an optional rule to be
used when required by the scenario, or if
agreed to by both players.
[15.4.1] The concealment token of a
players color (printed with an arrow) is
used to conceal or stack with their units
to confuse the enemy. To conceal a unit
or stacks type, place a concealment
marker over it. This token is removed
once an enemy unit has line of sight on
the concealed unit.
[15.4.2] Each player is limited to using a
number of concealment tokens included
in the game set, and the tokens of their
own color. Concealment tokens may be
moved between units.
[15.4.3] The player may also conceal the
actual size of a stack. All concealment
markers in a stack are immediately
removed once in line of sight of an
enemy unit.
16.0
Combat With Unmanned
Units
Unmanned weapons have an important
place in 29th century combat, and
cannot be ignored.
[16.1] Control of Unmanned
Units
With several scenarios, a command unit
or manned version of a unit (such as the
dropped AMU has its movement value
Nutrocker) may appear. While manned
these units have an increased movement
(for some scenarios) and range for
defensive fire (see the unmanned weapon
reference chart). In addition, such a unit
can only spot when manned. If there is
no command unit an unmanned unit
cannot make indirect attacks, or spot for
artillery.
[16.1.1] A manned version of a normally
unmanned unit is marked with a (PC) in
the scenario. In several scenarios there
are cases where the (PC) designation is
on a unit other than an unmanned unit.
In such a case this unit is guiding the
unmanned unit, and the rules for [16.1]
apply.
[16.2] Collecting Intelligence
[16.2.1] Collecting specific intelligence
with a NeuSpotter is a victory condition
in several scenarios. The Analysis
Memory Unit (AMU) is housed in
the lower part of a NeuSpotter, and
stores all the valuable information the
NeuSpotter collects. Since the AMU
could frequently survive the destruction
of the NeuSpotter, it became a valuable
target to both sides.
[16.2.2] With any scenario after
December 2884, any NeuSpotter
destroyed on the battlefield drops an
AMU in its hex.
The Strahl Troops can obtain 1 victory
point by collecting a dropped AMU. In
addition, any victory points that would
be received for returning the NeuSpotter
alive are rewarded (as per the scenario).
[16.2.3] A Strahl Troop player Infantry
or Type I unit that enters the same hex
as the AMU and ends movement there
may collect the AMU. The AMU should
be stacked under the unit that collects it.
When the carrier unit moves off of the
map board with the AMU, collection is
a success (the player does not get any
victory points for AMU units which are
still on the board when the game ends).
[16.2.4] The Mercenary Troop player
can prevent collection by entering a hex
that contains an AMU and declaring
it to be destroyed. The AMU token is
removed at once.
[16.2.5] A NeuSpotter that collects a
reduced by half. For all other units, there
is no penalty for collecting an AMU.
17.0
Artillery
During the troop phase of each player, it
is possible to make artillery attacks using
the artillery provided in the scenario.
Artillery attacks are made from outside
the map board, and are on a much larger
scale than standard indirect fire. The
following rules are used to make and
resolve artillery fire.
[17.1] Initial order
[17.1.1] The units making the artillery
attacks are outside the board, and
will never appear on the board. Units
on the board must contact them.
This communication occurs between
a command unit and the off board
artillery unit. The command unit can
request attacks based on the information
from reconnaissance units, but this is
more difficult than observing the target
directly.
[17.1.2] The following classes of units
can request an artillery attack.
1. Command unit
A unit designated by the scenario
All infantry Troop HQ units
All infantry Platoon HQ units
2. Reconnaissance unit
NeuSpotter, Krte, Raccoon
All aeronautical units assigned to
ground support
3. All other units not mentioned
above.
17
[17.1.3] To make an artillery attack,
units in any of the three categories must
have line of sight on the target unit, and
can communicate with the off board
unit making the artillery attack. At
this time, write down the unit making
the request, the target, and the type of
artillery attack. The spotting unit may
not move or attack on the turn it requests
the strike, and if it is destroyed before the
end of the turn, the artillery attack is not
possible.
[17.1.4] The artillery request can be
made by any of the three classes of
units listed in [17.1.2] independently,
or in combination. The five possible
combinations are listed below (all other
combinations of units cannot request
artillery attacks).
a) A unit in group 1 observes and
requests.
b) A unit in group 2 observes, and a unit
in group 1 requests.
c) A unit in group 2 observes and
requests.
d) A unit in group 3 observes, and a unit
in group 1 requests.
e) A unit in group 3 observes and
requests.
[17.1.5] The player making the artillery
attack uses a copy of the Artillery Request
Sheet (at the end of this rulebook) to
record the type of the request (a - e),
the turn of the request, the target map
board and hex number, shot type, and
the number of shots fired. It is possible
to make multiple requests in a turn, but
a unit can only participate in a single
attack.
[17.1.6] The artillery attack is fired
at the beginning of the troop phase
following the turn in which the request
is made. However, if a friendly unit is
in the target hex, the shot is postponed
until the unit is no longer in that hex.
Attacks that deviate from the original
hex and impact friendly occupied hexes
are resolved normally and effect friendly
as well as enemy units.
[17.2] Resolving Artillery Fire
[17.2.1] On the turn in which the
artillery fire will land, all artillery fire is
resolved before any units move or attack.
18
First, find the target number based on
the request type (A-E) on the Artillery
Deviation Chart. Roll two dice. If the
result is below the target number, the
attack hits the target hex. If the roll is
one or two more than the target, then the
attack hits an adjacent hex. Roll one die
and consult the chart to determine the
direction. If the roll exceeds the target by
three or more, the attack fails completely.
[17.2.2] With the impact hex
determined, resolved the effect on units
using the indirect fire rules (rule [5.5.2]
through [5.5.4]).
[17.2.3] For statistics of possible artillery
attacks, refer to the Artillery Efficiency
Chart.
18.0
Pilots
A number of pilots from both sides are
included in the game set. Some are used
in scenarios, but some of them do not
appear in any provided scenario. Players
should decide if they want to use these
tokens.
[18.1] Pilot Unit
[18.1.1] Between the two games there
is a total of 42 pilot units. It is possible
to create additional pilots using optional
rules (see section [18.3]). The numerical
values on the pilot token modify the
attack power, defense, and air war power
of the unit they pilot.
[18.1.2] For the numerical values, black
numbers add to the value, and white
numbers subtract from the value. These
modifiers affect the to-hit roll for all
attacks.
For example, if Isao is attacking with a
power of 10, and his correction is -1,
and the defense of the target is 5, with
a correction of +1, the result is (10-
1) (5+1) = 3. These modifiers are in
addition to any terrain modifiers.
[18.1.3] Write down which pilot is
assigned to which unit, and place the
pilot tokens to the side of the map board.
When the pilots abilities are used, show
which pilot is involved in the action. All
pilots involved must be revealed before
rolling to resolve the attack.
[18.2] Escaping (Optional
Rule)
[18.2.1] If a unit with a pilot is
destroyed in battle, determine if the
pilot has survived. Roll two dice, if
the last hit result was a Disarmed (A) or
Immobilized (M), a result of seven or
more indicates that the pilot was killed.
If the the last hit result was Destroyed
(D), the pilot is killed on a roll of four or
more. If the pilot is not killed, place the
pilots token on the hex, removing the
unit the pilot was in.
[18.2.2] Pilot units on the map are
handled the same as other units until
the end of the game. Pilot units can
move one hex like infantry (unaffected
by terrain costs), and their defense is
zero. Any result of D, A, or M will kill
the pilot. The opposing player receives
a number of victory points for the pilot.
[18.2.3] To escape, a pilot must survive
to the end of the game. It is possible to
retreat the pilot unit off the map board,
at which point the pilot will survive for
the remaining time. (If the players
units or reinforcements enter from a
specific location, the pilot unit must
retreat through the same area. Pilots
can also escape in the direction of that
players artillery. Leaving the board any
other direction, the pilot gets lost and is
captured, giving their victory point value
to the enemy!)
[18.2.4] A pilot may escape the board
while being transported by a vehicle (see
[13.1]). A pilot has a stack point value of
zero.
[18.2.5] The victory point value of
a pilot is +1 for each positive ability
point, and 1 for each negative ability
point. The pilots rank is also added to
his value, with Junior Warrant Officer
as one, Second Lieutenant as two,
and Lieutenant Junior Grade as three,
each class increases by one point.
The Lieutenant Colonel is worth six
points. (Additional ranks and values are
provided with the scenarios)
-Example-
Heinrich Giger, a lieutenant junior
grade, has ability modifiers adding up to
1 + 2 + 0 = 3. Because his rank has a
value of 3 is, combination his total value
is 6 victory points.

[18.3] Pilot Creation (Optional
Rule)
Use the rules below to create new pilots.
This is only a suggested method, and
players should feel free to agree on other
methods of creating pilots.
[18.3.1] There are two types of pilot
creation. One is recruitment. The
following chart is used to create a pilot
with this method. Roll a single die twice.
The first determines the ground combat
ability. The second determines the
dog-fighting modifier. The player may
divide the value of the ground modifier
between attack and defense.
New pilot creation chart
Attack, Dog-
Defense Fighting
1 -1 -1
2 -1 0
3 0 0
4 0 0
5 +1 +1
6 +2 +2
Roll one die
[18.3.2] The other method is to use any
of the pilots included with the game set.
These are veteran pilots.
[18.3.3] The ability modifiers of pilots
can be raised based on combat results.
For every five units destroyed, other
than infantry, one ability may be raised.
Use the table from [18.3.1], rolling on
the appropriate column for the ability
to raise, and adding one to the die roll.
Treat negative values as zero, and a
roll of seven as a six. Any single ability
modifier cannot exceed 4.
19.0
Special Rules
The rules for additional weapons in
the game appear here. Each is used as
appropriate for the scenario.
[19.1] Land mines
Land mines are assigned to players as an
attack power and not individual units.
Following the rules of the scenario,
the player distributes these mines by
recording their assigned attack power,
hex, and map on a piece of paper.
Artillery deployed land mines are
deployed in the target hex.
[19.1.1] Land mines can be assigned an
attack value between five and thirteen
per hex. This assignment is kept secret,
and only revealed for the appropriate
hex where a minefield is discovered.
[19.1.2] The anti-phase player must
observer all movement of the phase
player, to see if any units enter a
minefield. The phase player should
verify with the anti-phase player that
they have not entered any minefields.
If a minefield is entered, the anti-phase
player declares this immediately and
resolves the land mine attack. (see section
[14.4.1] for exception)
[19.1.3] The land mine attack is resolved
using the attack power of the minefield
in the hex, against each unit that has
entered. There are no modifiers applied
for pilot ability or terrain. For each unit
hit by the attack, the standard durability
test for that unit is rolled.
[19.1.4] The land mine attack is
resolved when a unit enters a minefield
hex and when it exits. If a unit tries to
pass through two minefield hexes, four
attacks will be resolved.
[19.1.5] It is impossible to move or
remove a minefield once it is placed. All
minefields retain their attack power until
the end of the game.
[19.1.6] Artillery deployed mines
function the same as standard mine fields,
they only differ in their deployment.
Follow the standard artillery resolution.
A single shot will increase the attack
power of a single hex. Multiple shots can
be made at the same or different hexes.
A minefield increased in this manner
cannot exceed an attack power of twenty,
and further increase is ignored.
[19.1.7] If an artillery deployed
minefield lands in an occupied hex, the
unit in that hex is not attacked as long as
it does not move.
[19.1.8] Friendly units may pass through
a minefield, but the minefield hex
must be revealed to the enemy, and the
appropriate attacks against the moving
units resolved.
[19.2] Smoke screen
The smoke screen token hinders visibility
in the hex that it is placed.
[19.2.1] The following units can deploy
a smoke screen.
Pzkw 182
D. house
N. Rocker II
Sdh 233/232
Schenkel
Green Buffalo
Ravin
Engineer units
Deployment of a smoke screen can
be done at any time during the phase
players troop phase. The unit that
deploys the smoke screen can still move
or attack in the same turn.
[19.2.2] The efficiency of the smoke
screen for each unit is shown on the
Smoke Screen Equipment Chart. The
chart shows the number of smoke
screens that can be created, the range
the screen can be created at, and the
number of screens that can be deployed
in a single turn.
[19.2.3] A smoke screen deployed
during the troop phase will dissipate and
be removed from the board two turns
later, at the beginning of the appropriate
players phase. To show this, place the
marker numbered 2, and at the next
troop phase, turn the marker over to
show the 1 side. The turn after this,
the marker will be removed.
[19.2.4] The Pzkw182 and Doll House
use their internal combustion engines
to create smoke and hide themselves.
Because of this, they are marked as
having an infinite number of uses.
Because of the close nature of this smoke
screen, do not use the regular markers.
[19.2.5] Smoke screens block line
of sight. It is possible for a unit in the
smokescreen hex to fire.
[19.2.6] Smoke screens also make firing
more difficult. Laser and missile weapons
have a -1 modifier to hit, and all direct
fire receives a -4 modifier.
19
[19.3] Night combat
Because of the loss of visibility in
darkness, manned units cannot recognize
and react to targets as quickly.
Manned units fighting at night receive
the darkness penalty listed in the Fire
Modifiers Chart.
[19.4] Fire
There is a possibility for fire to occur in
all building hexes. When (1) a missle (M)
or gun (G) weapon, or artillery attack
hit a building hex and a result of D
is produced, or when (2) an attempt at
arson is made by an engineer unit, there
is a possibility of fire.
[19.4.1] When either circumstance (1)
or (2) occurs, check for fire ignition. For
circumstance (1), roll two dice and if
the sum of the dice are four or less, fire
occurs. If the circumstance is (2), decide
using the rules in section [14.4.2]. A fire
marker is placed if a fire ignites.
[19.4.2] An infantry or pilot unit that
is inside a hex where fire occurs is
automatically attacked during the enemy
fire phase. Roll two dice and add the
results to determine the attack power of
the fire. Resolve the attack as a direct fire
attack. All other units in the game are
immune to fire.
[19.4.3] Line of sight cannot be
established through a hex whichh
contains a fire marker. A unit in the fire
hex cannot establish line of sight out of
the hex.
[19.5] Special units
[19.5.1] A unit for Eddy Amzel is
provided for the appropriate scenario.
Eddy can move one hex per turn, and
cannot make any attacks, observe, or
take any other actions.
[19.5.2] The Raccoon, and the
unmanned Krte Pioneer have the
engineer squads mine detection ability.
See section [14.4] for reference.
[19.5.3] SAFS Mk. II carries a booster
backpack. When moving on the ground,
its movement is (5W), and when using
the booster its movement is (12B). The
controlling player selects whether to use
the booster when the unit moves. When
using the booster, movement costs and
restrictions for the hexes the unit moves
through are ignored, and the unit moves
at a rate of 1 hex per movement point.
The booster pack may be used on any
two turns in during single scenario.
Even if the full movement allowance is
not used, it still counts as a full use of
the booster. Mark this usage with the
number tokens. If unit with a booster
is Immobilized (M), it can no longer use
the booster.
When using the booster, the unit may not
engage in close quarters combat. While
it is moving, if it moves into the defensive
attack range of an enemy unit, that unit
may make an anti-aircraft attack. A unit
using the booster may not move through
hexes that contain enemy units.

[19.4.4] Any fire that begins continues

to the end of the game.

[19.4.5] If there is a Depot marker in

the hex where a fire occurs, it ignites the
ammunition, fuel, and other supplies,
resulting in an explosion. Remove the
token immediately. Roll one die to
determine the number of attacks the
explosion will cause. Resolve this number
of attacks against every unit stacked with
the depot, using the process in [19.4.2].
All units, and not just infantry and pilot
units are susceptible to these attacks.

2.1 Counter Explanation

Introduction
The following rules are a compilation of
the rules written by Twentieth Century
Imports (TCI), the company that
released the two S.F.3.D Original games
in the United States. In the words of the
original T.C.I. manual, The body of
the rules is a direct parallel to the original
Japanese rule book. The optional rules
have been suggested by the American
play test team. These rules have some
differences from the translation of the
Japanese rule set presented previously
in this manual. They also present some
new rules and concepts that are not part
of the Japanese rules, which players may
find interesting.
The rules are presented here so that
players can decide which core set of
rules they prefer to use, and pull elements
from the different rule sets that they feel
enhances their experience.

2.2 Unit class
All units in the game are grouped into
classes. These classes are class I (Suits), II
(Vehicles), and III (Aircraft). The units in
these classes are as follows.
Type I Panzer Kampf Anzug
(PKA), Gustav,
Armored Fighting
Suit (AFS), Super
Armored Fighting Suit
(SAFS), Neu Spotter,
SAFS MkII, AFS(S),
Raccoon, Konrad,
Krachenvogel
Type II All ground units.
Type III All aircraft (NOTE:
A P.K.A. or
Gustav attached
to a Hornisse is
considered an aircraft
until they have
separated.)
Inf All Infantry units Player #1 Movement
3.0
Sequence of Play
Initiative Determination
Each player rolls a die. The player who
rolls the highest number is Player #1.
The player who rolls the lowest number
is Player #2.
Mutual Air Commitment
Both player secretly commit their aircraft
to either ground or air attacks. Once this
is done, the cards are revealed.
Dogfight Resolution
All units in each players air attack box
conduct Dogfight combat. Afterwards,
any unit eligible may conduct attacks
against any opposing aircraft in the
ground attack box (see 7.00). Any air
attack units that survive are returned to
the used box on the Air Commitment
Card.

Combat Phase #1
Player #1 Morale Recovery
All of Player #ls units that have a morale
broken counter on them may now roll
for recovery .
Player #1 Smoke Removal
Each hex that contains smoke laid by
Player #1 is reduced by one. This means
that a smoke1 counter is removed , or
a smoke2 counter is brought down to a
smoke1.
Player #1 Aircraft Ground Attacks
Player #1 may now conduct ground
attacks with its remaining aircraft. The
unit under attack is eligible to return fire the game turn counter forward one space
on the aircraft. These are simultaneous.

Player #1 now determines the
Observation Level of the hex that is to
be the target of an artillery attack (see
8.5).
Player #1 may now move any or all
units eligible, according to the rules of
movement (see 4. 0). Any unit entering
an enemy hex must stop and immediately
conduct an overrun attack (see 6.5).
Mutual Fire
Any units eligible, from either player,
may now fire, according to the rules
governing combat (see 6.0). These attacks
are simultaneous. Artillery attacks are
also conducted.

Player #2 aircraft are now returned to
the Used box.
End of Turn
Note that one turn has gone by moving
on the game turn track. Play returns to
the Initiative Determination phase. If
this was the last turn of the scenario,
conduct Victory determination.
4.0
Movement
During the movement phase, the phasing
player may move some, none, or all of
its units that are eligible. The number
of movement points and the movement
type of each unit are listed on the front
of each counter.
4.1 Movement Type
Each unit is grouped by its method
of movement into six groups. These
groups are Walkers (W), Tank Treads
(C) Hovercraft (H), Jump (B), Fliers (F),
and Infantry (no code given). These
movement types are cross referenced with
the terrain type on the Terrain Effects
Chart. This will give the movement cost
to enter each hex.
4.2 Movement Points
The various terrain types on the map are
explained on the Terrain Effects Chart.
The map is divided into hexagons, or
hexes, in order to regulate movement.
Each unit has a number of movement
points. This is the maximum number
of points each unit can use during each
turn. Each hex costs a unit a certain
number of movement points to enter.
In clear terrain, all units spend 1 MP to
enter a hex. This means that an A.F.S.,
with a movement allowance of 5, in clear
terrain may move five hexes.
Units may not skip or jump over hexes.
If a unit enters a hex containing two
or more terrain types, the unit must
declare which terrain type it will enter.
This terrain is used for both movement
cost and terrain benefits. The combat
modifier for terrain is the same as the
terrain entered. (NOTE: The number
to the left of the movement code on the
flying units is that units dogfight strength,
not its movement point. Aircraft have no
movement points (see 7.00)).
Infantry have only one movement point,
and may enter any hex except lakes and
rivers at a cost of one. Lakes and rivers
may not be entered by Infantry.
The Jump movement is not listed on the
Terrain Effects Chart. This movement
is a special, low level flight using jump
jets. The unit using the jump mode must
move using only that mode that turn.
The Unit only pays one movement point
per hex, and pays an additional one
movement point for each hex that is one
elevation in height. The unit must pay
the full movement cost of the hex it ends
its movement phase in.
4.3 Stacking
No more than one friendly unit may
occupy anyone hex at anyone time.
Friendly units may pass through each
other, but they may never end their
movement in the same hex. If a unit
enters an enemy occupied hex, that unit
must come to a halt and immediately
conduct overrun combat (see 6.5). The
only exception to this is that Infantry
entering, leaving, or being carried by
trucks may stack with the transporting
truck.
4.4 Immobilized Units
A ground unit that has had a M result
on the Armor Resistance table has been
Immobilized. This unit may not move
for the rest of the game. It may fire and
spot normally.
4.5 Game Scale
In both SF3D I and SF3D II, each unit
counter represents one suit, vehicle,
or aircraft. Each Infantry counter

may fire only once per Combat phase.
A unit may be fired upon any number
25
of times. All attacks are considered
simultaneous, and the effects of all
attacks take place at the end of the
current phase.
6.1 Declaring Attacks
The attacker declares all attacks before
resolving any. This involves the attacker
declaring the firing unit, the target,
and, when applicable, the spotting unit.
After the attacker has declared all of the
attacks, the defender declares all return
attacks. These attacks are resolved in any
order, but the effects take place at the
end of the phase.
6.2 Hit Determination.
In order to determine if an attacking
unit has hit its target, the Attack Strength
of the attacker is used. The attacker first
determines if there is any To Hit Modifier
because of the defenders terrain. This is
found by cross referencing the attackers
weapon with the defenders terrain.
This modifier is added to the attackers
attack strength. Next, the modifiers for
firing indirectly are found on this chart,
as for the target being Immobilized, a
ground unit firing on an aircraft, smoke,
and for infantry unit firing at night.
These modifiers are added to the To Hit
number. Finally, the defense strength of
the target is subtracted from the To Hit
number of the attacker. After all of these
modifiers have been added, the resultant
number is the final To Hit number. The
attacker now rolls two dice and adds
together the two totals. This dice roll
is compared to the To Hit number. If
the dice roll is greater than the To Hit
number, the attack is unsuccessful. If the
total is less than or equal to the To Hit
number, than the attack hit.
6.3 Artillery Attacks
The To Hit number for artillery is
determined in the Observation Level
phase of the Combat turn. The number
is found on the Observation Level
Chart. This to hit number may only be
modified by the targeting of the target
hex (see 8.40). If the To Hit number is
rolled, the shell landed in the target hex.
If the number is not rolled, roll one die,
and consult the Artillery Spread Chart.
This shows the actual hex were the shell
landed. The attack strength of a shell is
26
dependent upon the type of shell, and
the distance the units are from the target
hex. These strengths are given on the
Off-Board Artillery Chart. These attacks
are conducted normally, with normal
modifiers applying. Artillery attacks are
simultaneous with normal ground unit
attacks. The scenarios lists the type of
shell that may be used, where the shell
comes from, and the distance already
traveled. The distance traveled has no
meaning to the To Hit number, but does
show the maximum range the shell can
reach on the board. By subtracting the
distance traveled from the maximum
range, the range of the shell may be
determined. This range is counted from
the board edge listed in the scenario.
6.4 Armor Resistance
If the target of an attack has been hit,
the attacker must determine whether
or not the attack damaged the unit.
Find the target units armor type on the
back of the counter. The defender rolls
two dice and cross references the roll
with the units armor type. The result
will be either 0, A, M, or -. A 0 moves into an enemy occupied hex, all
result indicates that the target unit has
been destroyed. The Destroyed unit is
removed from play and set aside. An A
result indicates that the units armament
has been destroyed, and may not fire its
weapon. (NOTE: This does not exclude
an air craft from firing any mounted
weapons. see 7.51). A M result indicates
that the unit is immobilized, and may not
move for the rest of the game. Aircraft
that receive a M result are shot down,
and are removed from play. A unit that
receives an A or a M result and has
already suffered an A or a M result,
whether or not it was received on this
turn, is destroyed. A unit that receives a
- result is unaffected by the attack.
6.4.1 Modifications to the Armor
Resistance Chart
If the attacker, during his To Hit roll ,
rolls a 2 result (ie. double ones) the
target is automatically Destroyed. If
the attacking weapon is a rocket, then a
modifier of one is added to the die roll.
If the target unit is a NeuSpotter, then
the target is automatically destroyed.
6.5 Ground Units Vs. Aircraft
If, during the Aircraft Ground Attack
phase, a ground unit is attacked, that
ground unit may return fire upon the
attacking aircraft. This return attack is
simultaneous with the aircraft attack,
and is resolved immediately. The ground
unit suffers the modifier for Ground
vs. Aircraft, but neither unit receives
a modifier for the range. The aircraft
does not receive any terrain defensive
bonuses, but the ground unit does receive
this bonus. If the ground unit in question
returns fire, it may not fire again during
the current Combat phase, even in an
overrun attack. During the Mutual Fire
phase, any ground unit may fire at any
remaining aircraft on the board. This
attacking unit must add the modifier for
ground vs. air and for range. It does not
add the modifier for terrain. All units
have a clear LOS to all ground attacking
aircraft .
6.6 Overrun Combat
If, during the Movement phase, a unit
movement is stopped, and the two units
involved immediately conduct Overrun
combat. The unit entering the hex is
referred to as the attacker, and the other
unit is referred to as the defender. The
range is found under the 0 range on the
Range Modifier chart. The defending
units terrain is the hex it occupies , and
the terrain for the attacker is the hex
from which it entered the defenders hex.
The units now conduct attacks against
each other. As usual, these attacks are
simultaneous. If both units survive, they
fire again. These attacks continue until
both units can no longer fire, one or
both units have been destroyed, or until
each has fired three times. If both units
survive, the attacker must return to the
hex from which it entered the defenders
hex. These units may not fire during
this combat round. During overrun
situations, units may, if ammunition
restrictions allow, fire during all three
combats of the overrun. This is the
only time a unit may fire more than
once during a combat round. If, in the
same movement round, the unit is again
overrun, it may not fire. In overrun
situations, all M and A results on the
Armor Resistance table are treated as 0
results. All ammunition restrictions are
maintained (see 8.1).
6.7 Opportunity Fire
A unit may make an opportunity fire
attack if, during the movement phase, the
opposing unit moves from one hex that
has blocking LOS, into the firing units
LOS, and ends its movement in a hex
that has blocked LOS. All opportunity
fire attacks are declared during the
movement phase, and carried out during
the current Movement phase. This
attack counts toward the limit of one
attack per Combat turn. This attack
is carried out immediately, before any
other movement is conducted, and is at
-1. Only the non-moving unit may fire.
The moving unit may not opportunity
fire. Opportunity fire attacks are always
voluntary.
7.0
Aircraft
Aircraft are defined as units with a F
movement code. These are flying units,
capable of flying ground attack, dogfight,
and observation missions. The aircraft
are the Falke II, and the Salamander.
7.1 Missions
During the Mutual Air Commitment
phase, each player may commit his
aircraft to ground or air missions. A
player may elect whether or not to
commit some, all, or none of his aircraft.
The units in the air missions section will
conduct dogfight missions. The units in
the ground mission section will conduct
either ground attack or observation
missions. The decision regarding which
aircraft in the ground missions box
will conduct which missions is decided
during the Ground Attack phase.
7.2 Dogfighting
During the Dogfight phase of each turn,
all of the aircraft in each players air
mission section of the air commitment
card must dogfight. Each player totals
the dogfight strength of all of its aircraft
involved in the fight, and these totals are
compared. The player with the highest
total is deemed as the attacker (NOTE:
if the dogfight strengths are equal, then
the player #1 is the attacker.). The total
strength of the defender is subtracted
from the total of the attacker. This gives
the attack strength difference. This
gives the column used on the Dogfight
chart. A die is rolled, and its result is
cross-referenced on the chart. The first
number before the slash is the attackers
loss, in dogfight strength. The number
after the slash is the defenders loss.
Each side now loses the appropriate
amount in dogfight strength. Losses start
with the weakest units and work their
way up. Excess damage does not carry
over. Example: Two Falke II (strength
4 each) suffer a loss of 5 strength. First,
one of the Falkes would be destroyed.
The second Falke is not lost, for there are
not enough remaining points to destroy
it. If the loss result was an 8, the Falke
would also have been destroyed. If, at the
end of the Dogfight phase, one side has a
two-to-one superiority, numerically, then
some of the dogfighting units may break
through and attack the opposing aircraft
units in the ground mission box. The
player who is able to break through must
leave behind at least one unit for each
surviving enemy. The rest of the units
that were involved in this dogfight phase
are free to break through, and thus get
a free attack upon the opposing Ground
mission aircraft. This attack is resolved
using the same method as normal
dogfight combat , except that the break
through units ignore all attacker losses.
7.3 Observation Missions
Any aircraft in the ground missions box
of the Air Commitment card may fly an
observation mission. If the aircraft flies
an observation mission, it may not also
fly ground attack or landing missions.
On observation missions, the given
aircraft acts as a spotting unit for one
ground unit. This aircraft has LOS on
any unit on the board, and thus may spot
any enemy unit. Units on Observation
missions are safe from ground attacks.
Observation missions last only one
combat turn.
7.4 Ground Attack Missions
Any units in the ground missions box
of the Air Commitment card, and not
flying an observation mission, may
conduct a Ground Attack mission. These
attacks are first declared, and carried
out, during the appropriate phase. These
attacks are carried out as a normal
combat, with the following restrictions.
Neither unit figures range restrictions for
the attack, but the ground unit must use
the ground vs. air modifier. The aircraft
must add the terrain modifier for the
defending ground unit. Both units have
LOS on each other, and both attacks are
simultaneous. If the ground unit returns
fire,this attack counts toward the limit of
attacks per combat round unit need not
fire. After the attack, the aircraft must
remain in the hex it attacked. Aircraft do
not count toward the stacking limit of a
hex. Any number of aircraft may be in a
hex. During the Mutual Fire phase, any
unit eligible may fire at the aircraft. All
units have LOS on the aircraft, and the
range modifiers are applied, as are the
ground vs. air modifier. The aircraft does
not get any terrain bonuses. When the
current combat phase is over, the aircraft
are returned to the used box during the
aircraft return phase.
7.5 Special Rules for Aircraft
7.5.1 Extra Weapons
Each aircraft may, if specified by the
scenario, be armed with additional
weapons. These weapons may be
missiles, bombs, or lasers. The number
listed on the weapon counter is the
attack strength of the weapon. If an
aircraft uses this extra weapon, it may
not fire its own weapon at the same time.
Each aircraft can only carry one extra
weapon, and bombs and rockets may
only be fired once. Lasers may be fired
any number of times, and must follow
laser rules and restrictions. Lasers also
add to the air crafts dogfight ability,
by adding one to the aircrafts dogfight
strength. The attack strength 8 bombs
and missiles are rather small, and so two
of them may be carried by one aircraft,
both of these must be fired at the same
time.
7.5.2 PK 41 Hornisse
The PK 41 counter is not an air craft
unit. Only when it is combined with a
P.K.A. or a Gustav does it become an
aircraft. These two counters fly, attack,
and defend as one unit. They use the stats
for the PK 41 counter, and if the aircraft
is destroyed, both counters are removed.
27
The PK 41 Hornisse is the only unit that
may fly landing missions. The aircraft
lands during the ground attack phase,
but may not conduct ground attacks
during that phase. The PK 41 may only
land on Clear hexes. These hexes may
not contain units, Friendly or Enemy.
The P.K.A. or Gustav may not conduct
any actions this turn. At the beginning
of the next combat turn, the P.K.A. or
Gustav is free to conduct actions. The
PK 41 may conduct no action until it
is reconnected with a P.K.A. or Gustav.
The unit attempting to reconnect with
the PK 41 does so during the mutual fire
phase, rather than conducting an attack.
During the next aircraft return phase,
the PK 41 Hornisse is moved to the used
box.
8.0
Special Rules
8.1 Ammunition Restrictions
The Dollhouse Vehicle and Goblin is
armed both with rockets and a laser. In
order to show this, a separate counter is
provided for the rockets. This unit may
not fire both its laser and its rockets in
the same turn. After each rocket attack is
used, place a Rocket expended counter
on the unit. When the unit has reached
its limit, it may make no more rocket
attacks. There are other units that also
use rockets. These are listed on the Unit
Summary Chart, as well as the number
of rockets per unit.
The P.K.A. unit uses a special rocket
launcher (the PF). Although it uses a
special column on the Terrain Effects
Chart, it suffers the same ammunition
restrictions as other rockets. (NOTE: on
the Armor Resistance chart, the PF is not
a Rocket). If a P.K.A. starts the Combat
turn adjacent to any other P.K.A., it may
give its PFs to the other unit.
If a unit armed with a laser rolls an 11
or a 12 on its attack roll, that units laser
is burned out. An Armament Disabled
counter is placed on that unit, and it
may no longer fire that weapon. If a
unit armed with a MG rolls a 12 on its
attack roll, that units MG has run out
of ammunition. Place an Armament
Disabled counter on the unit. That
unit may not fire its weapon until it is
28
resupplied. If any unit rolls a 2 on its
attack roll, its target is automatically
destroyed.
8.2 Special Rules Used in
Scenarios
Some scenarios allow one side to have
Strong Points. These are non-moving,
fortified positions. They add a defensive
bonus of -1 or -2, as given in the
scenario. This bonus is not given in an
overrun situation. In some scenarios,
there are objectives that must be found
and destroyed. To find if an object is a
dummy or a true objective, a unit must
move into or through the objects hex.
The counter is then immediately turned
over. In order to destroy an objective, a
unit in the hex must fire at the objective,
and it is destroyed. If any enemy unit is
in the object hex, the attacking unit may
not destroy the object.
8.3 Resupply
If a Depot counter is supplied in
a scenario, units may resupply by
entering the Depot hex. Depots contain
an unlimited amount of PFs, MG
ammunition, and vehicle rockets. The
unit must remain for one entire combat
turn in order to resupply. The Depot is
destroyed in the same way as an objective
(see above). Each PK 41 contains two
PFs, and may resupply P.K.A.s in the
same hex. Any units that are overrun
while resupplying may not fire during
the overrun.
8.4 Recon Units
8.4.1 NeuSpotter
The NeuSpotter is a special recon unit,
with no combat ability. But, during each
combat turn, a NeuSpotter may either
spot two units it has clear LOS on, or
spot and target one unit. By targeting
a unit, the NeuSpotter allows all units
firing at the target this combat turn a To
Hit modifier of +3. A NeuSpotter may
also spot this targeted unit on the same
turn. NeuSpotters may not be shocked
(see 9.2).
8.4.2 Raccoon
The Raccoon is a special recon unit,
with no combat ability. But, during each
combat turn, a Raccoon may either
spot two units it has clear LOS on, or
spot and target one unit. By targeting a
unit, the Raccoon allows all units firing
at the target this combat turn a To Hit
modifier of +3. A Raccoon may also
spot this targeted unit on the same turn.
Raccoons may be shocked. (see 9.2)
Artillery shots may be targeted.
8.5 Determining Observation
Level
The observation level of a given hex is
determined by how many people have a
clear LOS, and whether or not any units
are spotting the hex.
spotting, # of units
# of spotting units
Observation Level
with LOS needed
# of units with
If no units are
LOS
A 1 4 6
B 1 3 5
C 1 2 4
D 1 1 -
E 0 1 -
8.6 Computer Operated Units
Some units are controlled by computer,
and are not manned. Usually, unless the
scenario states otherwise, these units are
controlled remotely. If, for some reason,
these units are released from control, their
on-board computers take over. These
computers, while very sophisticated, are
not fast enough for combat situations,
and therefore the defense strengths are
lowered. The Computer Control Chart
lists the defense strengths of the units
both Under Control and Not Under
Control. In some scenarios, it lists a
certain unit as the controller. This unit
controls the computer units, and if it is
destroyed, all computer controlled units
are now considered Not Under Control.
8.7 Land Mines
In certain scenarios, the defender is
allowed to place land mines. The location
of the mines is recorded, in secret, on a
separate piece of paper. The amount of
mines that may be placed is presented in
the form of attack strengths. This attack
strength is divided up into separate mines,
each totaling anywhere from 5 attack
strength points to 13 attack strength
points. Each mine may be placed in
anyone non-building hex. Whenever any
ground unit, of either player, enters the
mined hex, the mine goes off. The unit
in question is immediately attacked at
the listed strength. The defence strength
of the unit, and any terrain modifiers
(bomb column) are included. Once the
mine has gone off, the hex is clear. The
only ground unit that can enter a mined
hex with a chance of avoiding the mine
is an Engineer unit (See Below).
Another type of mine is the AMU
(Advanced Munitions Unit). The AMU
is a large bundle of explosives that can
be carried by the Krachenvogel (and
the Neuspotter.). Any unit carrying
the AMU has its movement allowance
reduced by 10. The AMU may be
dropped during any movement phase,
and it goes off during the next Mutual
Fire phase. It attacks all units in the hex it
was dropped at a strength of 20, and all
units in adjacent hexes at a strength of
10. AMUs will be listed in the scenario
that they are used in.
8.8 Infantry and Trucks
Each Infantry counter represents a
squad of 8-10 men. There are five types
of infantry squads in the game. These
are standard infantry Platoon HQ ,
Company HQ , Anti A.F.S. Rifle (AAR),
and engineers (Eng. or Pnr.). Platoon HQ
and Company HQ are the commanders
for their respective units , AAR squads
are laser armed infantry , and engineers
are engineers and demolitionists. A
few special rules are used for infantry,
otherwise, they follow normal ground
unit rules.
8.8.1 Infantry Morale
If an infantry unit rolls an M or an A
result on the armor resistance chart, the
unit now has its Morale Broken, and a
morale broken counter is placed on the
unit. There are several effects of broken
morale. The unit in question cannot
attack, except in overrun combat. The
broken unit cannot spot, and, during
its movement phase, moves toward and
stays in the nearest LOS blocking terrain
(if there are two or more LOS terrains
equal distant from the unit, determine
randomly which hex the unit moves
toward.). During the Morale Recovery
Phase, the phasing player rolls one die for
each of their units that are broken. On a
roll of 1-4, the Morale Broken counter is
removed. On a 5 or 6, the unit remains
broken. There are several modifiers
to this roll. If the unit is adjacent to a
non-broken unit, the modifier is -1, if
the unit is in LOS blocking terrain, the
modifier is -2, and if an enemy unit is
within 3 hexes, the modifier is +2. These
modifiers are cumulative.
8.8.2 Headquarters
In general, a platoon consists of 4
infantry, engineer, and/or AAR squads,
plus the platoon HQ. A company
consists of two platoons and a company
HQ. This is not solid, but should be stuck
to if possible in the scenario. If a platoon
HQ is destroyed, all of the units in that
units platoon are immediately broken.
If a company HQ is destroyed, all of the
units in the company are broken. When
retreating units off board, the HQ must
be the last unit off the board.
8.8.3 Engineers
Engineers are special units that have
special abilities above their combat
ability. There are two special abilities.
The first is the ability to detect and
disarm land mines. When an engineer
enters a hex that it believes is mined , it
may roll one die. On a 1-5, the mine, if
it is there, is disarmed. On a 6, the mine
goes off. An engineer may not fire on the
same turn it searches for mines, nor may
it have been transported by a truck. The
other ability is to destroy bridges (and
other structures, see scenario). It takes
two full turns to destroy a bridge. If the
engineer is destroyed before the bridge
is, the bridge is not destroyed. A second
Engineer may finish the Demolition.
Any unit on the bridge at the end of
the movement phase is destroyed, and
that bridge may no longer be used. An units have a stacking size. This size is
engineer may not attack when destroying
a bridge.
8.8.4 Trucks
Trucks and Kraftwagens are designed
primarily for carrying infantry. One
truck may carry 2 infantry units at a
time. Infantry may off load from trucks
at any time during the movement phase.
Infantry may on load onto a truck if they
start the movement phase in the same
hex as the truck. The trucks movement
points are reduced by 3 for that phase.
If a truck is destroyed while carrying
infantry then the infantry are also
destroyed.
8.8.5 Heavy Machine Guns
Heavy Machine Guns (HMG) are crewed
weapons used by a squad of infantry.
They increase the attack strength by
one, and increase the range by two.
HMG cannot be used by AAR squads.
Some combats occur at night, which will
be stated in the scenario. Most units,
because of their sensors, are not affected
by night. But infantry are affected by
night, and the modifiers are listed on the
To Hit Modifier Chart.
8.9 Units Armed with Smoke
Some units carry smoke rounds that
may be used instead of normal rounds.
These units are listed on both the Unit
Summary Chart, and the Smoke Chart.
The Smoke Chart lists the number of
smoke rounds the unit has , the range
(in hexes) that the smoke can be fired,
and the duration. If a unit wishes to fire
smoke, it does so during its own Mutual
fire phase, and may not fire any other
weapon during that phase.
9.0
Optional Rules
The following are optional rules. They
are not necessary for play, but they add
to the flavor of the game. Any all of
these rules may be used.
9.1 Stacking
More than one friendly unit may now
occupy a given hex. The stacking limits
are as follows. No more than four aircraft
may occupy a single hex. All ground
the unit class number. There cannot be
more than four class numbers in a single
hex (ie. four class I, or two class II, or
one class II and two class I etc. ). If an
attacker is firing into a hex that contains
more than one unit, The attacker singles
out one unit as its target, and conducts
fire normally. If the attackers weapon
is a Rocket, Bomb, or Missile, the non-
targeted units in the hex suffer spillover
fire. The units suffering spillover fire are
29
each attacked separately, with a modifier
of -2.
9.2 Shock and Panic
If, at any time, a unit is hit by an attack ,
whether or not the attack penetrates the
units armor, that unit is shocked. A unit
is also shocked if three or more attacks
are resolved against the unit in one turn,
whether or not these attacks successfully
hit. Only unit class I units may be
shocked. Shocked units may carry out no
actions until the shock is released. Any
simultaneous attacks may be conducted.
P.K.A.s and Gustavs are not affected by
shock if they are attached to a PK 41.
9.3 Recovery From Shock
At the beginning of each Combat Phase,
all shocked units must roll to recover
from shock. The owning player rolls a
single die. If the result is a 1, 2 or 3, the
units shock has been released, and the
unit may now conduct actions freely. If
the result is a 4 or 5, the unit remains
shocked , and may conduct no actions
this Phase. If the result is a 6, the unit
panics, and the result of the units panic
is resolved immediately (see below).
9.4 Panic
If a unit panics, one die is rolled. The
effects of the panic are listed below, and
resolved immediately.
Die Result
Roll
1 Unit recovers and is free to
conduct actions this Phase.
2,3 Unit moves towards the
nearest cover (ie a hex that
contains LOS blocking terrain)
and remains shocked.
4 Unit moves toward the nearest
enemy unit and attempts to
overrun. This unit is no longer
shocked, but may not conduct
any other action this Phase.
5 Unit does not move now,
and fires at the nearest unit
(whether they are friend
or foe). This unit remains
shocked.
30
6 Units pilot makes a fatal error
in suit control. Suit explodes
(unit is eliminated). All other
units in the same hex as the
exploding unit are attacked
at an strength of 7 (less any
modifiers) Resolve damage
immediately.
9.5 Pilots
There are several pilot counters supplied
in the game. Before the scenario begins,
the player randomly assigns one pilot to
each aircraft. P.K. 41 Hornisse are not
assigned pilots. Each counter lists the
name, rank, dogfight bonus, ground
attack bonus, and defense bonus of the
pilot. If the number is white, the bonus is
negative. The first number is added to the
dogfight strength of the unit, the second
number is added to the attack strength of
the unit, and the third number is added
to the defensive strength of the unit.
9.6 Fire
If the fire optional rules are used, the wind
direction must be determined before
the scenario begins. Determine this by
rolling on the Artillery Spread chart. The
wind direction is used to determine the
direction of fire spreading, and where the
fire produces smoke. Whenever a laser
weapon is fired at or through a forest
hex, two dice are rolled. If the total is 7
or more, a fire is started, and a counter is
placed in that hex. When a fire is started,
three smoke counters are placed. One
counter is placed downwind, and the
other two are placed on both sides of
the first smoke, adjacent to the fire hex.
These smoke counters always remain.
During the Initiative Determination
phase, player #1 rolls two dice for each
hex that contains a fire. If the result is a 5
or less, the fire (and any smoke associated
with it) is removed. If the result is 10 or
more, the fire spreads to one of the three
smoke hexes, determine randomly. Any
unit passing through or stopping in a hex
containing fire is attacked with a strength
of 8. Range and terrain modifiers do not
apply. NOTE: Infantry in a fire hex have
a defense strength of 0.
9.7 Miscellaneous Rules.
P.K.A.s are allowed to fire both of their
PFs on one turn if the attacks are on the
same target. Gustavs are allowed to carry
a P.K.A. grenade launcher. Each Gustav
carries 2 PFs, and fires these at the same
attack strength and range as the P.K.A..
All destroyed Class II units are left on the
map as wreckage. Wreckage blocks LOS,
and each destroyed unit in a hex adds
one movement point to the cost of the
hex. Aircraft cause no wreckage. Class II
units may now enter buildings. Each hex
costs 5 Movement Points to enter (This
simulates the tanks breaking through the
wall to get at the annoying little suits).
10.0
Combining SF3D II with
SF3D
In order to combine SF3D with this
game, these rules are used, rather than
SF3D I. Additionally, SF3D I has special
rules pertaining to certain units, such
as the Neuspotters, and the Hornisse.
These rules have been worked into this
rule set. The Charts contained in this
game include all of the units from the
first game.
11.0
Scenarios
NOTE: Scenario sheets based on the
Japanese scenarios and updated with
the TCI rules are listed as TCI #. The
original rules text is provided here.
These instructions for the scenarios are to
be used with the Japanese scenarios. Use
the map configurations from the original
scenarios, as are the orders of battle. The
German troops are contained in the first
box, the Australians are in the bottom
box, and are usually divided into two or
more groups. These groups are referred
to as Group 1, Group 2, etc. and are
numbered left to right, top to bottom.
Special rules and Victory conditions
are listed here. If the scenario refers to
the Standard Victory Conditions, that
means each side receives the victory
points listed on the Unit Summary
Chart. An immobilized unit is worth
half the victory points.
#1 Operation: Search Party
A German frontal assault upon the area HQ , which has recently been reinforced by two platoons of S.A.F.S.s. German group 1
starts in the air, German group 2 enters on any 1 board edge on any 1 turn. Australian group 1 may set up anywhere. 3 of the 5
object counters are dummies. The five object counters must be set up in buildings. Each object counter must be within 3 hexes of
at least one other object counter. Victory Conditions: The Germans must destroy both 0 object counters. The Australians are to
prevent this. This scenario lasts 10 turns.

#2 Rescue 34th A.F.S. Platoon

The 34th A.F.S. Platoon is caught by surprise during a rest break and is completely surrounded. The 48th New South Wales Guard
are sent in to break through and rescue the 34th. The German group 1 may enter the board on the east side, or set up in the building
that contains hex 2404. The aircraft are allowed four extra weapons. The Australian group 1 is placed in the building that contains
hex 2006. Australian group 2 enters on turn two on the west edge of the map. Victory Conditions: The Australians must move 5
A.F.S. off the west edge of the map. These units may not leave until turn 5. The Germans must stop this. This scenario lasts 10 turns.

#3 Operation: Fast Track

An assault upon a weak flank by the City of Darwin Yeomanry is not the compleat surprise expected by the Australian Command.
German group 1 may set up anywhere east of hex column 04XX. Australian group 1 enters through hex 07. Two of the three object
counters are dummies. Australian group 2 enter on turn 4. The Australians get the initiative on turn one. Victory Conditions: The
Australians must exit two units off the board via hex column 27XX, or destroy the German Object counter. The Germans must
stop this. This scenario lasts 12 turns.

#4 Battle of McCormicks River

The front line had stabilized and strengthened. Major Ed Mad man McCormick decided to attempt to break the local stalemate
by crushing the German line. German group 1 sets up on map 4. German group 2 sets up north of the river. Australian group 1 sets
up south of the river. The Australians get the initiative on turn one. The river is the dark line that starts on hex 07 and leaves on the
east edge of the map board. See the Terrain Effects Chart for the effects. The hexes 0807, 1209, and 2007 are bridge hexes, and are
considered clear. Any H class units hit over a river hex are automatically destroyed. German units may escape off the north board
edge. The Australians get half the victory points for these units. Victory Conditions: Standard victory points. One side must have 6
or more victory points, otherwise it is a draw. This scenario lasts 8 turns.

#5 Operation Super Hammer (Part 1)

Australian command begins a daring move. A direct assault to relieve the siege of New Canberra. The main body of the 3rd
Mechanized division met the encamped 25th Panzer Group. German Groups 1 and 2 set up in the forest that contains hex 2008
or in the building containing hex 1607. Two of the Krte from this group may set up anywhere on map 4. German group 3 enters
the north edge on turn 3, and group 4 enters the north edge on turn 5. Australian Group 1 enter the south edge of map 4, group 2
enters on turn 3, and group 3 enters on turn 5. Victory Conditions: Standard Victory points. Higher total wins. This game lasts 16
game turns.

#6 Operation Super Hammer (Part 2)

The 3rd Mechanized, after a bloody exchange, began to fall back into more favorable defensive terrain. When their relief arrived,
the Australian withdraw turned into an German nightmare. German group 1 sets up on map 3, between hex columns 16XX and
26XX. Group 2 arrives on turn 1, in the air. Australian group 1 sets up on map 3, between hex columns 05XX and 14XX. Group
2 enters on the west edge of map 2, on turn 4. The Nutrockers, on turn one, may appear (land) on any unoccupied hex on map 3.
They may take no action on the first turn on the ground. Victory Conditions: Standard Victory points. This scenario lasts 15 game
turns.

#7 Breakthrough at New Canberra

Meanwhile, east of the city, a small armor unit successfully broke through to the city. German group 1 is placed anywhere on map
2, group 2 is placed on map 2, in or within 2 hexes of the building. Group 3 starts in the air, and group 4 enters the west edge of
map 3 on turn 3. Australian group 1 enters the east edge of map 2 on turn 1, and group 2 enters the east edge of map 2 on turn 3.
Victory Conditions: Standard Victory Points. If there are no German units on map 3 by the end of the game, the Australians get
double the victory points. This scenario lasts 12 turns.

31
#8 Hold Out!
Supplies and Relief for New Canberra are on the way, but so are the German reinforcements. German group 1 enters on the east
edge of map 2, and German group 2 enters on the south edge of map 4. Australian group 1 sets up anywhere but 4 hexes from each
of the German entrance edges. Victory Conditions: If the Australians still have men on map 3 by the end of the game, they win.
The Germans must stop this. This game lasts 14 turns.

#9 Assault New Canberra Supply Storehouse

The Australians were slowly taking New Canberra, but the German resistance could not be stopped, unless the supplies from outside
the city were stopped. German group 1 sets up anywhere on map 3. Groups 2 and 3 start in the air. Australian group 1 enters on
the north edge of map 4. Group 2 starts in the air. Victory Conditions: Standard Victory Points. If one side is the only side that has
units in the building on map 3, that side gets 4 Victory points. This scenario lasts 10 turns.

#10 Battle of New Canberra

January 11, 2885: The German forces in New Canberra defend their last supply source in the city, a group of Military warehouses.
After the loss of this supply center, German Command was forced to withdraw from New Canberra. German group 1 sets up in
the buildings that contain the hexes 1309 and 1312. The following reinforcement groups enter on the hexes 0914 and 1714. Group
2 appears on turn 2, group 3 on turn 3, group 4 on turn 4, group 5 on turn 5, and group 6 on turn 6. Australian group 1 sets up
anywhere but buildings 1309 and 1312. The following reinforcement groups enter on the hexes 0201 and 2301. Group 2 appears on
turn 1, group 3 on turn 2, group 4 on turn 3, group 5 on turn 4, and group 6 on turn 5. Victory Conditions: A building is controlled
by a player if the player is the only player with troops in the building. The winner of this scenario is the player who controls both
building 1309 and 1312. Otherwise it is a draw. This scenario lasts 10 turns.

#11 Flare Furmer

A German Infantry platoon is escorting supplies through a rear area when it is attacked by a small breakthrough force. German
group 1 enters the map on the road containing hex 0914. All of the infantry and the three depots must start in the trucks. The
depots may not leave the truck, and count for one infantry squad when in trucks. German group 2 is an Artillery attack that begins
on turn 8, from the south edge, it has traveled 60 hexes. There are four attacks, and up to four attacks may be made per turn. They
are type I shells. Australian group 1 enters the map on the north edge, west of hex 1600. The Australian player gets 30 pts. of mines
to be placed anywhere except the road. Australian group 2 enters the map on turn 3, on the north edge. The German player must
get two of the depot trucks off the east edge of the map. If the German player fails in this, the German player must destroy 2 times
the VP in enemy units than it loses. The Australians must stop this, and may retreat off of the north edge. This game lasts 8 turns.

#12 Fire Fight

This is a typical fire fight between units during the Australian conflict. German group 1 enters the map on turn 1, on the north edge,
east of hex 1801. One of these units is a controller. German group 2 enters on turn 4, on the north edge, east of hex 1900. German
artillery starts on turn 5, on the north edge, traveled 100 hexes. There are 10 rounds, up to two may be fired per turn. They are fired
from Sphinx, Attack 16, range 120, Rockets. Australian group 1 enters the map on turn 1, on the south edge, west of hex 1214.
Australian group 2 enters the map on turn 3, on the south edge. Australian artillery starts on turn 1, on the south edge, traveled 60
hexes. There are 20 rounds, up to two may be fired a turn. They are type II shells. To win, at the end of the turn, one player must
control three of hexes 1509, 1612, 1711, 1811, 2209. This scenario is a draw otherwise. This scenario lasts 10 turns.

#13 Militia Holds the Line

The 12th Militia attempts to fend off the assault of the 134th Armored Regiment. German group 1 enters the map on turn 1, on the
west edge of map 6. Each Konrad has 2 PFs as well as its laser (Attack 10, Range 4). One of the Konrads is the controller. German
group 2 enters on turn 4. Australian group 1 starts anywhere on map 6. Group 2 starts .on map 5. Australian group 3 starts on turn
3, at an unknown location. On turn 3, the Australian player rolls one die. If the result is 1-2, east edge of map 5, 3-4, south edge
of map 5, 5-6, east edge of map 6. Each Pak Krte and Makel have 2 PFs stored. A Konrad must spend 2 MPs to get them. If the
Australian Platoon HQ is destroyed, all infantry on map 6 must retreat to map 5. The Depot is worth 6 VP. High VP total wins.

#14 Canadian Invasion

Because of the victories of the Rebel Mercenaries, many of the new colonies began to think of rebellion. In order to stop this, The
German command started an invasion of Canada, the most rebellious of the colonies. As usual, the Australians were already there.
German group 1 enters on turn 1, on the south edge of map 6, west of 0914. Two of the Konrads are controllers. German group

32
2 enters on turn 2, on the south edge of map 6, west of 0914. Australian group 1 starts on map 6. Australian group 2 starts on map
5. Group 3 may start on turn 3, on the east edge of map 5, if the player wishes to lose 20 VP. Group 4 may enter on turn 6, if the
player wishes to lose 10 VP. The Australians get 140 pts of mines to place anywhere east of hex row 13XX of map 6. On turn 2,
the Australians get artillery: From east edge map 5, traveled 42 hexes, 14 rounds, 3 per turn, Type I shells. From east edge map 5,
traveled 60 hexes, 6 rounds, 1 per turn, Type II shells. One object counter may be carried per truck. Each truck retreated off of east
edge of map 5 is worth 10 VP. The entire map is snow-covered. All W types, except Krote, have 3 MP, all C types, except Green
Buffalo, Ravin, and PzKw 182, have 4 MP. The Germans win if they retreat 100 VP off of the east edge of the map, or if they are
ahead of the Australians by 25 VPs. This game lasts 20 turns.

#15 Airborne Raid

The 18th Airborne was dropped behind the lines in order to raid McCormick Airbase. German group 1 is airdropped into the area.
They may be placed anywhere on the map that they are able to enter, and may not fire on the same turn that they land. Australian
group 1 starts anywhere on the map. Australian group 2 enters the north edge of the map starting on turn 2, two units at a time.
The player may choose which two appear each turn. The six buildings on hex row 24XX are hangers. They have a defense of 5,
and must be empty to attack. If they are hit, they are automatically destroyed. The German player gets 10 VP each. The winner of
this scenario is the player who has 10 more VP than the opponent. This scenario lasts 10 turns.

#16 The Rescue of Major Pierce

Major Pierce, commander of the 44th A.F.S. Battalion, was captured in a surprise attack on the 44ths base. The 90th All Mercenary
company went in for a rescue. German group 1 starts anywhere on map 7. German group 2 starts anywhere on map 6. The POW
counter is placed anywhere on map 7. Australian group 1 enters on turn 1, the east edge of map 6. Australian group 2 enters on
turn 5, the east edge of map 6. On turn 2, the Australians get artillery. From east edge of map 6, traveled 70 hexes, 12 rounds, 1 per
turn. The shells are type II. The F-Boots have no smoke. Any Australian unit that moves into the hex containing the POW may pick
up the POW. If the unit carrying the POW is Destroyed, The POW is killed. The Australians get 10 VP for the POW. The German
player may not move or kill the pow. The higher VP total wins. This scenario lasts 15 turns. (Note: Our play testers noticed that the
POW was worth very few VP, and recommended that he be worth 30 VP, and not be kill-able, instead abandoned KH).

#17 Battles Won and Lost

The city of Bedford became the sight of one of the bloodiest battles of the war. The Germans dug in, and the Australians dug them
out. German group 1 starts anywhere west of hex row 22XX on maps 1 and 7. German group 2 may enter on turn 6. Before this
group arrives, roll one die. On 1-2, the Konrads are not accompanied by the Hornisse, and enter on the west edge of map 1. If
German group 2 enters the game, the player loses 10 VP. The Germans get 100 pts. of mines to be placed anywhere. On turn 2, the
Germans get Artillery: west edge, traveled 80 hexes, 15 rounds, 2 per turn, Type II, West edge, traveled 200 hexes, 6 rounds, 2 per
turn, Type III, West edge, traveled 80 hexes, 6 rounds, 2 per turn. Australian group 1 enters the map on turn 1, on the east edge of
the boards. Group 2 enters on turn 3, east edge, group 3 enters on turn 6, east edge; group 4 enters on turn 9, east edge; and group
5 enters on turn 12. The buildings containing hex 1106 on map 7 and hex 1307 on map 1 are worth 30 VP each if one player is the
only player with units in the building. High VP total is the winner. This scenario lasts 15 turns.

#18 Stop Them at Colonier

The 711th A.F.S. Battalion began moving toward La Grange spaceport, where mercenary units were collecting for an assault.
The city of Colonier was ordered to stop the 711th. German group 1 sets up anywhere east of hex row 07XX on map 6. German
group 2 sets up anywhere on map 5 or 6. The infantry is a controller. Australian group 1 enters on turn 1, west edge of map 6. The
Australians must retreat 40 VP worth of units off of the east edge of the board, or gain 2 time the VP of the German player. The
German player must stop this. This scenario lasts 15 turns.

#19 Hill 91
Hill 91 was a high-point occupied by the controller of the 17th Automated Company. The 331 AFS Company was ordered to take
the hill. German group 1 sets up anywhere on either map. The infantry squad is the controller. Australian group 1 enters on turn
1 on the north edge of map 4. The Australians win if they have a unit on the hill, Hex 2205, map 6 at the end of the game. This
scenario lasts 10 turns.

#20 Prologue to Faserei

One of the opening battles of Operation Faserei, the final resistance of the now cut-off German invasion force in Canada. German
group 1 sets up anywhere within 16 hexes of the east edge. German group 2 enters on turn 4. Group 3 may enter on turn 6, and

is airdropped. These units may be placed anywhere it is possible for them to enter. These units may not fire on the turn they are
placed. The player loses 5 VP if these are used. Australian group 1 is placed anywhere on maps 2 or 4. Group 2 may enter on turn
3, from the west edge. The player loses 5 VP if these are used. Group 3 enters on turn 5. The Australians have artillery: West edge,
traveled 60 hexes, 15 round, 2 per turn, Type II shells; West edge, traveled 100 hexes, 10 rounds, 2 per turn, Type III shells. Three
of the German object counters are real. Each real object destroyed is worth 15 VP. The highest VP wins. This scenario lasts 15 turns.

#21 Operation Faserei

The German invasion force had pulled back into the Alberta area. They were surrounded and attacked. German group 1 begins
anywhere on maps 1, 5, and 7. Three of the Gustavs are controllers. All of these Konrads and Gustavs have 2 PFs. German group
2 enters on turn 3. German group 3 enters on turn 9, on the east edge of maps 1, 5, and 7. The Germans get 280 pts of mines on
maps 3, 4, 5, and 6. The Germans get artillery on turn 1: From the east edge, traveled 70 hexes, 30 rounds, 2 per turn, Type II shells;
East edge, traveled 150 hexes, 10 rounds, 1 per turn, Type III shells; East edge, traveled 65 hexes, 15 rounds, 3 per turn, Type IV RM
shells. Australian group 1 enters on the west edge, and on the north edge of map 6. Group 2 enters on turn 4, on the west edge, and
on the north edge of map 6. Group 3 enter on turn 6, on the north edge of map 5, or on the south edge of map 4, players choice.
The Australians get artillery: From the west edge, traveled 60 hexes, 40 rounds, 2 per turn, type II shells; on the west edge, traveled
100 hexes, 6 rounds, 1 per turn, Type III shells; on the west edge, traveled 4 hexes, 5 rounds, 2 per turn, Dollhouse rockets. If there
are no mobile German ground units on any of the boards at the end of the game, the Australian player gets 20 VP. The Germans
may retreat units off of the East edge of the map. To win this scenario, a player must have 20 more VP than their opponent. This
game lasts 30 turns.

#22 After The Holocaust

The 192 Panzer Company, one of the few units left relatively intact, had been chased across Canada into Ontario. While waiting
for their ship, their camp was attacked. The scouts of the 192 returned, to find the enemy dug in. German group 1 starts anywhere
on map 5. The Gustavs have 2 PFs, and one of the Nut Rockers is a controller. German group 2 enters on turn 1, from the west
edge of map 4. One Nut Rocker II is a controller. The German player gets 100 pts of mines anywhere on map 5. Australian group
1 starts anywhere on maps 3, 4, and 6. Both the Company HQ and the Schenkel are Company HQs, and both must be destroyed
before the effects of destruction of an HQ occur. The Australians get 240 pts of mines to be placed anywhere on maps 3, 4, and
6. The Australian gets Artillery: from the north edge, traveled 72 hexes, 4 rounds, 2 per turn, Dollhouse rockets. On turn 13, the
Germans may begin to retreat units off of the east edge of map 5. Any units that leave the map before then, or any German units
left on the map after turn 16 are considered destroyed by the Australian player, and count for VP. The winner is the player with the
most VP. This scenario lasts 16 turns.

Introduction
From the Introduction page of the

This website is devoted to mainly
the gaming side of both SF3D and
2887, with background notes,
history and rules where necessary. To
be get the most out of this site, you
must have a copy of either SF3D I
or II. The TCI translated rules have
been used mainly for these pages as
I dont read Japanese. However, if
you can get hold of a translated rules
set, then youll find it contains much
more than the TCI rules ever did.
The following is a collection of fan-
created material intended for the
English-edition S.F.3.D game releases by
Twentieth Century Imports. The main
creators of this content were Francis
Greenaway, Jim Meggonhofen, Frank
Savino, and Bayne McGregor. Some of
the rules recreate elements that are in the
Japanese rules, but were missing from the
TCI edition. It also adds some rules that
are meant for the TCI edition, but would
be compatible with the Japanese edition
as well. Two scenarios (numbered x #)
and a small selection of additional units
are also included.

Strahl PKA Hand Held
Weapons
The PKA suit is at a serious disadvantage
when playing games that dont include
the PK41 or supply depots. While the
panzerfaust is a relatively powerful
weapon at close ranges, the fact that it
is only a close range weapon, and that
only two of them are carried means that
the standard PKA soon loses its ability
to fight.
To improve the state of the PKA, they
may carry a different hand held weapon
instead of one panzerfaust. The weapon
options include:
Weapon Damage
Hand held laser 6L8
The laser burns out on an 10,11
or 12
Hand held cannon 8 MG 6
The cannon runs out of ammo
on an 11 or 12
A unit with one of these weapons may
still carry one panzerfaust, but may not
use it in the same turn as it fires the hand
weapon. The Gustav may not use these
weapons at all as it only has one hand
actuator, the other containing the in-
built laser.
3.0
Physical Combat
PKA suits run out of ammunition quite
quickly, and many other units either also
run out of ammunition eventually or
burn out their lasers. When this happens,
the unit is effectively reduced to spotting
or becoming a target.
This rule allows a unit with no weapons
left to try and engage an enemy unit in
physical combat. If it survives of course.
Note that a unit may engage in physical
combat even if it does has weapons left.
This is brutal combat, where the two
units are clubbing each other, kicking,
charging and trying to inflict damage by
any means possible.
To be applicable for physical combat,
two units have to be in the same hex
(thus overrun combat may have already
occurred - possibly the reason for the
close combat?), and if this is the case,
then after ALL shooting combat has
occurred, physical combat may happen.
This means that the unit may not survive
the turn to be able to conduct physical
combat. A unit may engage in physical
combat even if it has conducted shooting
combat in the turn.
To conduct close combat, both units roll
1D6 and add the following modifiers.
+ the defence strength of the unit
+ physical combat modifier if the
unit is not good at physical attacks
(see list below)
+2 if the unit is immobilised
Then with this modified number, consult
the Armour Resistance Chart and cross
index the number with your units armour
letter. The result is the damage that your
unit sustains in combat. It is possible for
both units to destroy each other or inflict
no damage.
Sometimes a unit doesnt want to engage
in close combat, and instead may try and
evade it. This can only be done if the
unit isnt currently immobilised. In this
case, the unit evading gets a +2 to its
roll, and the opponent does not have to
make a roll at all, meaning that it cannot
be damaged in the physical combat.
35

The various units pages lists all the
relevant physical modifiers for the units
in the game, but as a rule, a normal
armoured suit will have a -0 modifier,
a walker with limited physical potential
(like an HAFS Jerry) will have a -1
modifier, and a unit that cannot engage
at all (like an armoured vehicle, such as
the Nutrocker) will have a -2.
Any fliers and NeuSpotters (or variants)
may not be engaged in physical combat
at all.
Some examples:
A PKA suit and an AFS engage each
other in physical combat, and both
survive the turn to see the combat
through.
The PKA rolls a 6 and adds 2 for its defence.
This is an 8, which is a no effect on the chart
(because it only goes up to 6!).
The AFS rolls a 2, and adds 2 for its defence.
Consulting the armour chart, under B for the
suits armour class, a result of 4 is an M, thus
the AFS is now immobilised.
An AFS decides to attack a available MP reduced by
Nutrocker in physical combat.
The Nutrocker rolls a 1, and adds 4 for its
defence. However, the Nutrocker has a -2 for
being completely incapable of physical combat,
so the end result is a 3, which according to the
chart under armour class A, denotes that the
Nutrocker is now immobilised.
The AFS also rolls a 1, and adds 2 for its
defence rating. This is enough for the AFS to
be destroyed, so probably the AFS tried hitting
the Nutrocker which crushed it underneath itself,
resulting in its immobilisation.
A Krte decides to attack a Sand
Stalker. The Sand Stalker however
has other plans, and decides to
evade the Krte, thus not attacking
it.
As a result, the Krte need not roll for damage,
so it survives the combat. The Sand Stalker rolls
a 4, adds 2 for evading and 1 for its defence,
which gives a total of 7, so it escapes unharmed
also.

4.0
Ranges to Ground
Attack Aircraft
This is just a bit of a small clarification,
which most people would probably use
anyway. In the rules, it states that in the
mutual combat phase, ground attack
aircraft can be attacked by ground units
at normal range modifiers. However,
as ground attack aircraft arent placed
on the map, there can be a bit of a
discussion as to what this range really is.
So, what we do, is to use the range
between the current firing unit, and the
target of the ground attack aircraft that
is the current target of the firer. This
means that a marker has to be placed on
the map if the target of the ground attack
aircraft has already been destroyed. Or to
put it another way, when a ground attack
aircraft is declaring its target, simply put
the aircraft counter in the same hex as
its target.
This seems to make sense as a ground
attack aircraft and its target dont ever
use range modifiers, so for simplicities
sake, all vertical ranges have been
ignored.
5.0
Multi-Attack Vehicles
Some vehicles, especially with the advent
of the naval ships and the MAK 2887
vehicles, contain a range of weapons,
and the ability to use a lot more than one
of them per turn.
A vehicle so designed will have an
Attacks rating listed in the weapons
section on the units chart. This number
will is the total amount of attacks that
the vehicle may perform in one turn,
and these attacks may be at the same or
different targets.
Each weapon and rocket code will also
have a number in parenthesis after the
code (for example 8 L 8 [1]) which is the
amount of weapons of that particular
the vessel has. No weapon may be fired
more than once regardless of the amount
of attacks that the vehicle has.
6.0
Multi-Hit Vehicles
Some vehicles are also much larger than
others and able to survive more than one
successful weapon attack them.
On the new unit tables, a vehicle with
more than one hit has a number in
parenthesis after the armour code, such
as C(2). The number is the number of
hits that the vehicle can survive.
Every time a vehicle is hit, roll for
damage as normal, but if a letter is rolled
on the armour resistance chart, consult
the following table:
D: The vehicle is damaged. It loses
one hit, and may suffer further damage
effects. Roll 1d6:
1-3 The vehicle loses one
weapon system (owning
player chooses)
4-6 The vehicle loses motive
damage, and has its
1/4 of its maximum value.
M: The vehicle suffers one hit damage,
but no further effects.
When a vehicle takes an amount of
successful hits equalling the hits it can
take, it is destroyed.
A multi-hit vehicle will still be destroyed
by rolling a 2 to hit.
7.0
Size IV Vehicles
Some vehicles (namely the ocean going
vessels, but some large ground vehicles as
well), are just much larger than normal.
These are termed sized IV vehicles, and
are treated as normal vehicles except
that they always leave wreckage when
they are destroyed (except ships usually
sink and can be ignored), and being as
large as they are, no other unit may enter
the same hex as them, they completely
fill it.

for targeting systems and the like as a whole, combat is getting more and more lethal,
and for the troops on the ground, there doesnt seem too much of a way to break this
deadlock.

38

Targeting
This allows the EW unit to effectively
paint the targeted unit, which means
that the EW unit is getting as much
information about the enemy as possibly
and as accurately, which it then sends to
another unit so that that the firer may
have a much improved chance of hitting.
ECM
An EW vehicle employing ECM is trying
to jam every single enemy unit in the area
of effect, by submitting the enemy units
to as much electronic static and noise as
possible. A unit subject to ECM is trying
to break through this ECM and in doing
so attempting to subject the other side to
its own ECM.
Jamming
Jamming is a much more directed
version of ECM. Whereas ECM is trying
to blanket everything, jamming is only
trying to disrupt automated units (such
as Neuspotters and Nutrockers), and
attempts to confuse them and put them
out of action. Jamming also involves
counter-jamming which attempts to
break through the jamming and impose
its own on the other side.
Every ability will have a rating. For
spotting, this will be amount of units that
can be spotted in the turn, Targeting has
a modifier of what bonus a firer will have
on a targeted unit, and with ECM and
Jamming this is the rating of the system.
In all cases, the higher the number, the
better the system.
Not all vehicles will have all the abilities,
and most will have them at differing
ratings, for example a Neuspotter has
Spotting (2) and Targeting (+3).
13.3 EW In Use
EW adds a new phase to the game
turn - the Electronic Warfare phase.
This is placed after the Mutual Air
Commitment phase, and before the
Dogfight Resolution phase.
During this phase, both sides secretly
declare what EW units will employ ECM
and which will employ Jamming (if they
have any units that are capable of doing
this). Aircraft with EW pods must declare
if they are going to be using them for
ground attack or dogfighting missions.
Note that more than one vehicle on each
side may declare ECM or Jamming, but
only the highest rating vehicle will take
effect here. No vehicle has to declare
ECM if they chose not to employ it.
Spotting and Targeting do not have to be
declared now.
Once done, both sides declare their ECM
and Jamming ratings, and then they
compare each others scores. The highest
side has the lower rating subtracted and
the modified result is the Active ECM
and Jamming ratings. The side with the
higher ECM is called the Active ECM
side (or Jamming side because they may
be different).
For example, an SDR force declares
an ECM of 2, and a Jamming of 0.
The Mercs declare an ECM of 3 and
a Jamming of 3. The end result is the
Mercs are the active ECM side with an
active ECM of 1, they are also the active
Jamming side with an active Jamming of
3.
It is possible for there to be no active
ECM or jamming side, and for there to
be an active ECM or jamming rating of
0. This just means that both sides EW
facilities are powerful enough to be able
to burn through the oppositions EW, but
arent powerful enough to actually take
advantage of this.
Unless an EW unit has more than one
attack, if it uses an EW action, then it
may not conduct an attack. If a unit does
have more than one attack, then each
EW action it uses counts as one of its
attacks. This applies to overrun combat
too, and a unit that defends or attacks in
overrun will lose any ECM or Jamming
that it currently has active. A unit that
gets engaged in overrun combat may
elect not to return fire, in which case it
will get no attacks back at the attacker,
but will keep its EW running if it survives.
The exception to this is physical combat.
A unit may engage in physical combat
and be engaged in physical combat with
no penalties.
A unit never has to use all of its ECM
or Jamming ability, but when the rating
of the unit is declared, that value is fixed
for the turn.
Also, a unit that is declaring ECM or
Jamming may declare that it is only being
used in the countering role. In this case,
the declarations are made as normal, but
if the countering side wins, the active
ECM or Jamming rating will be 0.
13.3.1 Destroying a Unit That is
Generating ECM or Jamming
There is a way to break this ECM or
jamming in a turn. If the EW vehicle
moves and then gets destroyed in
Opportunity Fire, or if the unit is
destroyed in Overrun combat, then the
ECM (or jamming) generated by that
unit is lost. This means that the next
highest rating ECM or Jamming vehicle
(if active [which is declared in the new
Electronic Warfare phase, remember])
will take over the role, but unless its
rating is exactly the same as the lost unit,
then the active ECM (or jamming) side
and active ECM (jamming) modifier will
have to be recalculated.
13.3.2 ECM and Jamming Range
Whilst there is a range for everything,
when it comes to EW, the range is
sufficient that it will cover the entire
map. Thus no unit on the non-active EW
side is safe from the effects of ECM or
Jamming.
It is also worth noting that ECM and
jamming are not effected by LOS, and
a unit cannot hide from these weapons.
The only defence is to destroy the EW
vehicle, or to have a greater EW strength.
13.3.3 ECM
The active ECM modifier is used as a
negative modifier to all opposing forces
to-hit rolls and targeting modifiers,
making it harder for them to hit their
targets, and reducing the targeting
abilities of EW craft.
This modifier will be in effect for the
entire turn, unless the unit gets destroyed
as stated above.
13.3.4 Jamming
Jamming is similar to ECM, although
it is only used against automated units.
The active jamming modifier is applied
to all combat rolls made by the unit (use
the higher of active ECM and active
39
jamming if both are in effect), but it is
also applied as a modifier against the
jammed units movement rate. This
simulates the fact that the automated
unit is getting confused and is constantly
re-evaluating the situation.
There is also another effect. At the end
of the turn where jamming is in effect,
any units that have been jammed that
turn must roll 1d6, with a + modifier of
the active Jamming.
On a 6+, that unit will be shocked next
turn, and thus will not be able to move or
fire in the turn.
This shocking will happen regardless of
whether there is any jamming next turn.
At the end of the next turn, all shocked
units will become active again, although
if there is any opposing jamming, then
all units will have to roll for shock again.
13.3.5 Spotting
A unit with this ability has the capacity to
act as a spotter for other units to be able
to use indirect fire. It may spot as many
units as it has LOS for and has a rating
for, so a Neuspotter may spot 2 units.
13.3.6 Targeting
An EW vehicle with this ability is using
all of its sensors to track a target very
accurately. This information is then sent
to all other units on the EW vehicles side,
and they may then fire on the targeted
vehicle with the rating of the targeting
ability, which is reduced by any active
ECM if the opposing side is the active
ECM side.
Only one unit may be targeted by an EW
vehicle per turn.
13.4 Aircraft
Aircraft may also employ EW. Instead of
carrying an extra weapon counter, they
may carry an EW counter (which youll
have to make yourself Im afraid). Some
examples of these counters include:
Spotting (2)
Targeting (+3)
ECM (1, 2 or 3)
Jamming (1, 2 or 3)
An aircrafts use of EW will depend on
its mission.
40
13.4.1 Observation Missions
In these missions, an aircraft may employ
Spotting and Targeting EW only.
13.4.2 Ground Attack Missions
These missions allow an aircraft to use
all EW functions. However, ECM may
only be used to affect ground targets
and other aircraft flying ground attack
missions. It will never effect dogfighting
vehicles, even if they are currently being
employed to engage ground attack
aircraft.
Aircraft involved in ground attack
missions may have EW employed against
them. They are susceptible to ECM and
they may be Targeted as normal.
13.4.3 Dogfight Missions
Aircraft in dogfighting have very little
EW options. All they can do is to employ
ECM and jamming against the opposing
dogfighters.
When using ECM or Jamming in
dogfighting, the active EW side get to use
the active ECM (or Jamming) as a bonus
to their dogfight rating. For example, an
SDR flight with a dogfight rating of 2
and an ECM rating of 2 goes up against
some Mercs with a dogfight rating of
3 and no ECM. The totals are that the
SDR flight have a dogfight rating of 4,
while the Mercs still have still a rating of
3.
The craft that are using the ECM do not
add their dogfight rating to the combat,
but they can be taken as casualties if so
desired.
If an opposing aircraft is effected by
Jamming and is shocked, then it will
crash and burn on the following turn
if it has to roll again to see if it is still
shocked. An automated aircraft can only
survive one consecutive turn in the air
shocked.
Dogfighting EW will not effect ground
attack aircraft, nor ground units.
13.5 Naval EW
EW used in the seas works exactly as it
done on land, and surface or undeasea
units are treated as ground units for this
purpose. EW operating from a surface
or ground unit will effect units that are
underwater, and vice versa.
The only exception is when it comes
to units that are in deep water. An EW
unit in deep water will only effect other
units in deep water and will not be able
to effect other undersea or surface craft.
The reverse is also true.
13.6 Availability of EW
Vehicles
EW vehicles are never as common as
their commanders would like them
to be. As a result, generally only one
EW vehicle is ever assigned to a single
platoon. For walkers, this is usually one
SAFS Racoon or PKA Konrad per 12 or
so armoured suits, and usually the EW
vehicle is also the commanders vehicle.
Other EW vehicles (such the HEWS
Janus) are assigned as and when deemed
necessary, as is the case with aircraft EW
pods.
The exception to this are the Neuspotters
and KrachenVogel which are spread all
over, and (especially with the Neuspotters)
are used whenever possible.
For the units listed below, S = Spotting,
T = Targeting, E = ECM, and J =
Jamming.
13.6.1 Mercenary EW Units
Raccoon - S(2), T(+3), E(2)
13.6.2 Strahl EW Units
NeuSpotter (Ns465) - S(2), T(+3)
NeuSpotter (Ns466) - E(2), J(2)
NeuWasser - S(2), T(+3)
Krachen Vogel (all) - S(2), T(+3)
Konrad - S(2), T(+3), E(2)
13.7 Optional EW Rules
Instead of giving each unit a set rating of
ECM and Jamming, units have a power
unit rating. This should be 75% of the
combined total of the units ECM and
Jamming (thus a HAFS Janus with an
ECM 3 and Jamming 3 would have 4
power units).
These power units can then be split
between the two sources of EW as the
owner wishes which would give more
tactical options as you would have to
decide which is more important - ECM
or Jamming? After all, with the rules as
they stand, there is no reason to ever not
give all of the rating to the enemy.
Units that only have the one ability will simply use that ability at its listed strength and

an undersea or ocean going vessel. They
have a weapon code of T.
Against surface vessels, these function
as normal rockets. Against undersea
units, water doesnt block LOS, and thus
torpedoes will effectively function as
normal rockets.
Being treated as rockets does mean that
a unit hit will get the +1 to the armour
resistance chart roll.
14.2.5 Mines
Mines are another hazard that surface
and undersea vessels face. Any unit that
enters a hex which contains a mine must
make a normal to hit roll, with a basic
target of 7, with a modifier of + the size
of the unit.
So a size II patrol boat entering a mined
hex, gets hit on a roll of 9 or less on
2D6. If the unit is hit, then it must take
a normal roll on the armour resistance
chart.
Unless placed in deep water, a mine
will not effect deep water units, and
deep water mines will not effect normal
undersea or surface vessels.
Laying mines is easy. A unit that carries
them may lay one counter per turn per
firing action.
14.3 Deep Water
Sometimes a unit wants to get deeper
than normal undersea operations, and
in this case, it may get go to what is
classified as deep water.
Deep water is much deeper than normal
undersea, and thus may not be available
in all scenarios. This, like shallow water,
should be decided before the game
begins.
Getting to deep water costs a +1 MP
to enter, and once there, all normal
undersea rules apply, with the additional
combat notes.
A unit in deep water may target units in
deep water with no additional penalties.
Deep water units may attack units in
normal undersea or on the surface with
normal range penalties, and an additional
-2 modifier. Surface units target deep
water units at the same penalties, but as
deep water and undersea blocks terrain,
42
a unit may only attack with lasers and
torpedoes, not MG, PF or R weapons.
14.3 Storms
Storms are a hazard to naval units, and
indeed any unit that crosses the waves.
For the purposes of these rules, storms
are handled very abstractly.
There are two types of storms, light and
major, and these should be decided upon
before a scenario. Storms generally take
some time to brew, and there are always
warnings that the various forces can sense
(visually and electronically, although if
the unit is currently being jammed, then
this option could be out), so forces should
usually be given the option to avoid those
areas if at all possible, which of course it
may not be.
14.3.1 Light Storms
Light storms are not a major hindrance
to vessels, more of an annoyance. All
surface units lose 1 MP from their
movement automatically. This is lost
before the unit moves. In addition, all
size I and II units on the surface, and
all flying units most roll 1d6 in the
initiative phase. On a roll of 6, that unit
takes an automatic roll on the armour
resistance chart, with all units that would
be automatically destroyed (such as the
Neuspotter) rolling on the C column.
All combat rolls have a an additional -1
to the roll.
Underwater vessels are not effected at
all.
14.3.2 Major Storms
Major storms are not generally travelled
in lightly. All surface vessels of size IV
lose 2 MP. All other vessels lose half

then that unit must roll on the armour

Underwater vessels suffer the same ill
effects as a light storm, while deep water
units suffer no effects.

Optional Rules
The following section presents some
rules as potential alternatives to rules
introduced in the TCI edition.
15.1 New Combat Rules
The regular combat rules in S.F.3.D.
are too cumbersome and requires two
die rolls for every shot. The new table
below is inspired by Ogre/GEVs CRT,
while the alternate ranges used above are
based on Battletech. They are intended
to simplify and speed game play. They
have only been playtested a little, Im still
refining them.
Take the attacking units strength at
that range band and apply the usual
modifiers (Indirect fire, target immobile,
Ground vs Air, ECM etc) and compare
to defenders strength to generate a ratio.
Round in favour of the defender.
Example: a strength 12 attack vs a strength 5
defence is a 2-1 attack ratio.
Find the column for that ratio on the
table below and roll one die with the
following cumulative modifiers: Class A:
-1, Class B: 0, Class C: +1 and Rocket
attack: -1.
3-1 4-1 5-1 or
better
A M X
X X
X X X
X X X
X X X
X X X
I have placed M as being worse than A
results because an M results destroys
aircraft in flight and immobilised units
are easy targets, especially for artillery.
Initial playtesting shows that between
comparable units (say a Ravin versus
Pzkfw 182) that combat at Medium
range gives you a good chance to survive,
but Short range combat is bloody as hell.
One optional rule to further add is that
units in Strongpoints use the modifier
not on the attackers strength before
generating the ratio but on the CRT
instead! This gives fortified positions a
much better chance of surviving and
really makes them something to take
seriously. Yes, a Green Buffalo in a
Strongpoint would be very difficult to
take out, but:
A. Its realistic.
B. Thats what artillery is for: stationary
targets...
15.1.1 Alternate Spillover Attack

Use half the attack strength, rather than
reducing it by -2. It makes better sense
with these rules.

 UNDERSTANDING THE SCENARIOS
The following guidelines should help in
understanding the scenarios.
a) Deploying Onto the Map
Initial placement and entry into the map
board is written as follows.
Example:
(Deploy from 1N1801)
Meaning:
On the first turn, enter map board
through the north edge, from hex 1801
and east.
The first number is the turn of entry, and
the number in the is the map number.
The letter in the code indicates the map
edges using the cardinal compass. E =
East, W = West, S = South, N = North.
If the entry zone is restricted to a certain
segment of the map edge, a hex number
will be given and a direction. That hex
and all hexes in that direction are the
entry zone. = East of, = West of,
= South of, = North of.
b) Units involved
A code under units indicates the number
of units to use, the use of pilots, and
designated commanders.
Example 1:
12 (Ld 1) (Ld 2)
Meaning:
12 units of that type are used. The
primary commander is Pilot #1, the
secondary commander is Pilot #5. Pilot
#11 is also assigned to one of these 12
units.

the remaining units are left without a

c) Off board artillery
The type, direction, distance (given in
hexes from the map edge), and frequency

SCENARIO FORCE RECONNAISSANCE October 2884

Seeking the Mercenary front line command,

the 663rd Assault Reconnaissnce Troops approached
Chattering City. Though there was no indication that
Mercenary forces would be scarce, the decision was
made for this to be the debut of the NeuSpotter. Unlike

SCENARIO ASSAULT CROSSING Late 2885

An opportunity to launch a counterattack had

developed. The Mercenary Soldiers, accompanied by
powerful air support, started a moonlight river crossing.
With PKA and NutRocker in short supply
on the Strahl front, there was a greater reliance on the
Sphinx and its anti-tank rockets to guard the river. The
Doll House would be assigned to counter-fire.
After a fierce exchange, the Mercenary troops
managed to build a bridgehead across the river. The
bridges had been made at great expense-of lives and
equipment.

SCENARIO OPERATION SUPER HAMMER I 23 September 2885

SAFS, Doll House, and other allied units

gathered secretly. Recruits and veterans alike would
participate in the secret maneuvers known as Operation
Super Hammer. They managed a level of secrecy so
strict that detecting the activity with NeuSpotters would
not have been possible. Anything short of an eye in the
sky would not have noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Thanks to the Strahls satellite system now in
orbit, their troops were prepared.

SCENARIO OPERATION SUPER HAMMER II Mercenary Retreat
27 September 2885

The Mercenary martial command was in

total disarray, with every attempt at a counteroffensive
being anticipated and cut off by the Strahl army. With
nothing but defeat after defeat being reported, it became
impossible for commanders to cope with the situation
and order anything other than to withdraw.
The Super Hammer operation was over
before it had even begun, the name being remembered
for the rout and retreat of the Mercenaries, and not the
planned maneuvers, which failed to be executed.

SCENARIO FRONTAL ASSAULT Early 2885

Successes throughout the Mercenary Army

started to turn the tide in their favor, allowing them
to switch to more offensive maneuvers. Commander
VanHoff was given such an assignment.
However, both sides were still evenly matched
along the front. There was little to be gained from
pressing an attack at the time. The soldiers along the
front fought well, but it was the ignorance of the rear

SCENARIO NEW ORDINANCE Flare Furmer
13 June 2883

In 2883 a weapon was introduced which

overturned all previous notions of combat and began
a new era in ground warfare. The Armored Fighting
Suit started as a reengineering of labor suits, used in
construction. When it was finished it was found in the
front lines, changing the course of the warfare, and the
weapon of choice for guerilla warfare.
No one could have predicted the attack on
the Landing Ship Division by 14 suits, and those who
knew about the attack couldnt predict the devastating
outcome of the surprise attack. The impact of this new
AFS weapon in the hands of trained pilots assured that
it would spread, along with this new war, across all of
the earth.

SCENARIO SKIRMISH (A14 PROLOGUE TO FASEREI)
March 2886, Eastern Europe

The renewed balance of power in local and orbital space was a sign
of a weakening Strahl presence. By the beginning of February 2886, there were
nine satellites over the northern hemisphere, restoring planetary communications
for the Mercenary Army, including Africa and Northern Europe. Just six months
after the defeat of Operation Super Hammer, it was once again possible to
coordinate large forces and put the strength of the Mercenary Army to full use.

players phase, Mercenary units have visibility of up to six hexes to that Strahl unit
on the following Mercenary phase. Manned weapons also apply a -2 modifier to all
attacks, except for close quarters, hand-to-hand, and indirect attacks.
At the end of the game, if the building hexes surrounded

THE HOMESTEAD Late 2884

Whilst the SDR was the aggressor in the war, and while all the Australian land owners supported the use of Mercenary
troops to get of them, that didnt mean that the Mercenaries had the support of all the people. To some, they were just another
bunch of ruffians, and the fact that a portion of the Mercenaries were criminals didnt help much.

So to try and dispel this attitude, the Mercenaries made sure that a lot of their actions were seen as selfish acts of
heroism, regardless of what actually happened.

This scenario depicts such an action. An SDR patrol has made a break stop in a local home owners dwellers, and, in
what would become a good publicity stunt, a nearby group of Mercenaries has decided to intervene.
