TACTICAL COMMAND

iii. Heavy weapons stands
On landing, heavy weapon and vehicle stands must role 3+ (1d6) in order to survive the drop.
Heavy weapons and vehicles may start to move from the DZ, using the ‘Motivating HQ’ rules,
two turns after landing. Stands not within command distance of their HQ count as ‘lost’ until
they rejoin their units.
b. Glider Landing
Gliders require a 12” ‘landing run’, clear of obstacles, in order to make a successful landing,
nominating the start point and direction of their ‘landing run’ before any measurement is made.
On landing, gliders must role 4+ (1d6) to ensure no losses. If this role is failed, any stand the
glider carries must role a 4+ (1d6) save or is lost.
All gliders must be landed before any of the above ‘save roles’ is made. All successfully landed
troop stands may move up to half their normal move distance and fire in the same turn as their
glider lands, ignoring the ‘Motivating HQ’ rules for this turn only. All other successfully landed
stands are operational at the start of the turn after landing.
AA fire is allowed at Gliders at the start of their landing run. Normal AA rules apply, with the
following modification: any role of 5 causes the glider to take a morale check. Once landed and
all save rolls are made, successfully landed stands become eligible targets for enemy units on
Overwatch/Hold Fire (i.e. landed units are considered to have exited the gliders before taking
fire).
ADVANCED FIRE AND MOVEMENT
Stands may move a portion of their movement allowance, fire at enemy targets, and then move
again, up to the remaining portion of their movement allowance. Stands using this fire-andmovement
technique are still penalized for firing after having moved. All other fire and
movement rules still apply.
MOVEMENT AND UNIT COHESION
Green stands from different battalions may not come within 1" of each other.
Stands on a road prevent the use of that part of the road for all other stands.
COUNTERBATTERY FIRE
Corps-level or Army-level artillery stands may conduct counter-battery fire. Rockets may never
conduct counterbattery fire. To use counter-battery fire, the artillery battalion’s FO must have
LOS to a current enemy barrage marker and the battalion must pass a motivation check per the
normal rules. Once motivated, the artillery battalion designates one enemy artillery stand that is
currently firing as a target. The Artillery Fire Chart and procedures are used normally, with the
