 SAVES
Target Unit is in... Save Value / Modifier
In gun-pit / Minefield 6

FALL-BACK
SUPPRESSION Roll only when a unit is already suppressed.
Roll one die for each hit taken in the current attack.
Roll one die for each hit taken in the current attack.
Suppressed if any die equal to/greater than score to hit.
Total scores & move unit away from nearest attacker.

FALL BACK
Units are Knocked-Out when:
• Falling back further than 10cm (except Recce units).
• Falling back into suppressed friendly units, enemy units, impassable terrain, non-dummy minefields or off-table.
• Falling back into enemy Command unit, causing your unit to be Knocked-Out, enemy Command is unaffected.
• Falling back into wire (troops on foot and soft-skins only).
• The fall back distance for units in fortifications, dug-in troops and deployed guns would be further than 10cm.

RETREAT
Units are Knocked-Out when:
• Retreating into enemy units, impassable terrain, non-dummy minefields or off-table.
• Retreating into suppressed friendly units, in which case both units are knocked-out.
• Retreating into enemy command units, leaving the enemy command unit unaffected.
• Retreating into friendly or enemy unlimbered guns, troops in fortifications and dug-in AFVs.

TESTING FOR CASUALTIES

1. Take the attack value of each unit attacking the same target.
2. Apply any modifiers to the attack value of each unit, then roll this number of dice, grouped by the score to hit.
3. One hit is achieved for each die roll equal to or greater than the score required to hit the target.
4. The opponent rolls 1d6 for each hit taken in the current attack - one hit is saved for each score equal to or greater
than the save value of the unit.
5. If the total number of unsaved hits against the target unit is equal to or greater than its hits value, it is Knocked-out,
otherwise place a marker next to the unit to indicate the number of unsaved hits against it.
6. Roll one die for each unsaved hit taken in the current attack (unless the unit was knocked-out).
7. The unit will become suppressed if any of the die are equal to or greater than the score required to hit the unit.
8. If the unit is already suppressed, total the scores of the dice and the unit will fall-back this distance in centimetres
directly away from the nearest visible attacking unit.
