CITVFIGHT Modern Combat in the Urban Environment RULES OF PLAY Copyright © 1879, Simulations Publications, ie., New Vork, N.Y. 10010 Read this First: ‘The rules of this SPI simulation game are organized in a format known as the Case System. This system of ‘organization divides the rules into Major Sections (each ot which deals with an important aspect of play). These See- tions are numbered sequentially as well as being named. Each of these Major Sections is introduced by a General Rule, which briefly describes the subject of the Section. Many times this General Rule is followed by a Procedure which deseribes the basic action the Player will take when using the rules in that Section. Finally, the bulk of each Major Section consists of Cases. These are the specific, detailed rules that actually regulate play. Bach of these Cases is also numbered. The numbering follows a logical system based upon the number of the Major Section of which the Cases are a part. A Case with the number 6.5, for example, is the fifth Primary Case of the sixth Major Section of the rules. Many times these Primary Cases are further subdivided. into Secondary Cases. A Secondary Cases recognizable by the fact that it has two digits to the right of its clecimal point. Each Major Section can have as ‘many as nine Primary Cases and each Primary Case can have as many as nine Secondary Cases. The numbering system is meant as an organizational aid. Using it, Players ‘can always easily tell where a Case is located in the rules. Asa further aid, an outline of the Major Sections and, Primary Cases is given at the beginning of the rules. How the Section and Case Numbers Work: Major Section Number Primary Case Number Secondary Case Number 6.53] [16.53] ‘The preceding example would be the number of the third Secondary Case of the fifth Primary Case of the sixth Ma- Jor Section of the Rules. How to Learn to Play the Game: Familiarize yourself with all of the components. Read all of the General Rules and Procedures and read the titles of the Primary Cases. Set up the game for play (after reading the pertinent Section) and play a trial game against yourself referring Co the rules only when you have a ques- tion. This procedure may take you a few hours, but itis the fastest and most entertaining way to learn the rules short of having a friend teach them to you. You should not attempt to learn the rules word-for-word, Memorizing all that detail is task of which few of us are capable. SPL rules are written to be as complete as possible — they're not designed 10 be memorized. The Case numbering system makes it easy (© Took up rules when you are in doubt, Absorbing the rues inthis manner (as you play) is a much beter approach to game mastery than attempting tostudy them asiferamming fora test. We hope you enjoy this SPI game. Should you have any difficulty interpreting the rules, please write to SPI, phrasing your quéstions so that they can be answered by a simple sentence, word, or number. You must enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope. We cannot guarantec a proper answer should you choose to phone in your ques- tion (the right person is not always available — and since ‘SPL has published hundreds of games, no one individual is capable of answering all questions).

Unless the accion is performed by a leader or & spotter, or the Player passes, he adjuss his Action Point Track to reflect the expenditure of one Ac: tion Point; then he performs te action. Unless a Fire action or Sighting action is announced, the Player when he is Fnshed, simply tells his oppo- nent “Done” or “Your turn.” Unless one of his Units which has becn sued fire command has succesfully spotted an Enemy uni (ce Sighting ‘cton), the next action s performed by the oppos ig player, In cur, this Payer must choose one of following thre actions or pas. Similarly, he adjusts his Action Points Track to reflect the ex penditure of one Acton Point.

To havea unit per form a Sighting action, the owning Player Mips ‘over that unit's counter, indicating that it may not attempt to sight aga Tor the remainder of the Game-Turn (Exception: Case 5.4), He then cals ‘ut the number of a megahex which the unit oc. pies or which is adjacent to or no more than 2 ‘megthexes away from the megahex oecupied by the sighting unit. Next, the opposing Player must any of his unis occupy any open hexes in the designated mezahex, and if so, their hex numbers. Aditionally, if the megahex contains ‘woods or building hexss, che sighting Player rolls two dice and his opponent crossreferences the dice roll with the Search rating of the meahen, while both Players make any necessary ad- justments tothe Search rating.

A number of Functions in the game, incading command contol and the sequence of lay in the Action Stage, are ‘based onthe platoons towhich units belong, These functions are regulated by means of Action Points. Performance ofan action BS a combat unit re ‘quires the expenditure of one Action Point. The tumiver of Action Points which may be expendes by all the combat units of any one platoon in each ‘Game-Turn is liited, and is tecorded and kept teack of on that Players Action Point Track [A marker is placed on the Action Point Track for ‘each platoon in play. The markers postion onthe ‘Action Point Track indicates the aumber of AC tion Points that may be expended by units ofthat platoon.

[6.0] LEADERS AND COMMAND CONTROL COMMENTARY: In urban warfare, small unit leadership isan even ‘ore eritial factor than tin the countryside, {or coordination of large numbers of men is veryithcult, and morales haéer ‘0 maintain, Also, the difficulty of maintaining. good radio com ‘munications ina bul-up area forces platoons to rely on ther own initiative more than they wouldit communications with higher commanders were sssued GENERAL RULE: During the Command Control Stage of each Game-Turn, each Player must determine if any of his platoons are going to suffer from an impar- ‘ment of command control. Such an impairment s Feflested by lessening the nmber of Action Povnis platoon has. PROCEDURE: ‘The impaicient (it any) of a platoon’s command control is determined by rolling adie (oe two dice forthe side net having advaptage) for that pla- toon’s leader, The die roll is compared to the leader's ating to determine if and to what extent the platoon’s command conteo isimpaied during the current Game-Turn. As soon a the command devsion stage has been completed, the Player Without advantage determines the nil momber ‘of Acton Points each of his platoons has (ee Case 5.6) and places the platoon marker on the Action Point Track. Then he must roll two dive for each of is platoon leaders. Ifthe result is equal to or Tess than that leaders rating, nothing further is done. Ifthe rsule i greater than that platoon leadee's rating, the difference is immediately determined; this iference is called the Dal Ae. tion Pointoss Having detennined the initial Action Point Loss for a platoon, the Player eross-tefeences this ‘number with the aumber of intial Action Poiats forthe platoon, using the Command Control Loss Matrix (Case 6.23). The resultant number of Ac sion Points is immediately subtracted from that platoon's Action Point total by adjusting the pa- foon's marker on the “Action Point Track downward accordingly. At the same time, the Player with advantage determines his comand ‘control status inthe same way, except that this Player rollsonly one de for each platoon leader. Example: The Soviet Player, who does no: have advantage, has a platoon leader with rating of 6 Hee har 6 unite end therefore 12 initill Action Pints indicated for the platoon on his Action Point Track, He rolls 2 dice, obtaining a result of 10, This ie 4 more than the leader's rating, 80 12 (Ghe numberof intial actions) is cross-referenced with 4 (Che intial action loss) on the Command ‘Control Lass Matrix. The resultant numbers 3,50 that platoon’s marker onthe Action Pot Tracks moved down trom 12109, The U.S. Payer (have Ing advancage) has a platoon leades on the map witha rating ofS.
