Movement
Pack Mule 2d6
Infantry 3d6 (Infantry can be rolled for by the group. Each trooper must be within 3" of another member of the group)
Wheeled 4d6 cross country. 4d6 x 2 on a road
Tracked 5d6
Aircraft 6d6 x 2
Attack Procedure
1. The target rolls 1d6 to determine it’s Defence Score
If the target is armoured (relative to the weapon of the attacker) it rolls 1 extra die
If the target is in Cover it rolls 1 extra die
If the target is Elite it rolls 1 extra die
If the target is a Soviet Commander, a Russian Sniper in cover, or the Mullah it rolls 1 extra die
If the attacker moved (except when moving in to melee) the target rolls 1 extra die
If a target qualifies to roll more than one die it must pick it’s highest roll as it’s defence score.
2. The attacker must equal or exceed the target’s defence score. Each attack die that does so registers 1 hit on the target.
3. If 3 (or more) attack dice score a 6 then a critical hit has occurred and the target is automatically destroyed
4. If 3 (or more) attack dice score a 1 then a critical miss has occurred and the attacker’s weapons blows up destroying him.
5. When attacking multiple targets in a burst radius each target rolls it’s defence score. The attacker rolls only once and compares that score to all rolls by the targets. The attacker should roll his dice first.
6. Weapons with a burst radius must roll to be on target. Throw 2d6, one die representing left, the other right. If the scores match or add up to 7 then the shot lands on target. If the score is 8, 9, 10 or 11 the shot is over. If the score is 6, 5, 4 or 3 the shot is under. The highest roll of the two dice is the number of inches by which the shot is under/over, whilst subtracting the lowest roll from the highest will give the distance left or right.
7. A weapon that cannot penetrate a target’s armour cannot effect the target.
