0 All do not return. * = In Sight Test is called the Reaction Test in some rules.

PEFS ON THE BATTLE BOARD?

THE BATTLE BOARD
Want a quicker game? Instead of moving on the tabletop, use
the Battle Board and get right into the fight. Most of your
Chocolate & Cigarettes Missions can be played this way, and
this can also simplify other Missions, like a Patrol, or doing a
fight inside a building.
Yes, you still use PEFs like on the Tabletop, but we do it a bit
differently. Instead of placing them on the table and moving
them around as you move yourself, here’s how we do it:
1. 1st way. Resolve the PEFs one after the other using the
PEF Resolution Table included in the rules.

The Battle Board is just an 8” x 10” area that the game is 2. 2nd way. Just resolve them one after the other, as many of
played on. This can be as simple or as elaborate as you like, them as you want.
with or without pieces of terrain on it. We’ve included one
you can use for outdoors, and one for inside a building. That’s it. Use the simple rules and you can play any THW
game either way or even use both.

Here’s how we do it:

• Place one side within 3” of one edge.
• Place the other side within 3” of the opposite edge.
• Always place the Leaders in the center and across from
each other.

Example – Both sides have been placed on the Battle Board

with the figures matched up against each other. The Leaders,
B and 2, are matched up across from each other.
