10 The African Wars Exclusive Game Rules v1.0 Advance After Combat, make Momentum Attacks, etc.) until a Tanzanian unit occupies or passes through a Town or City hex in Uganda. Once this has occurred, all Ugandancontrolled units are free to move normally for the rest of the game. [9.0] COMBAT STEP [9.5] Assigning Hits: Generally, each Hit is applied as a unit elimination (i.e., that unit is permanently removed from play). In The Last King of Scotland, the following units, as denoted by a black outline around their Movement Allowance, can Retreat to satisfy a Hit: If either of the Revolutionary Suicide Force (RSF) units or the Simba unit receives a Hit, the Ugandan Player can choose to negate that Hit by Retreating (8.4) that unit two hexes. It must retreat away from the enemy unit(s) inflicting that Hit, and it cannot retreat across prohibited hexsides or into prohibited hexes (i.e., ones which it could normally not move through or into). Only one such Retreat per unit is allowed per Battle Sequence, and a second Hit applied to that unit during the same Battle Sequence eliminates it. Example: The Ugandan RSF battalion is defending against the Tanzanian 207th Armored unit. The 207th rolls a 5 and a 6, scoring two Hits. The Ugandan Player chooses to apply the first Hit as a Retreat, falling back with this unit two hexes. However, there is a second Hit to assign, and with no other Ugandan unit available to absorb it, the RSF battalion is eliminated. [10.0] SPECIAL UNIT TYPES [10.1] Units That Can Retreat: Per 9.5 above, the Ugandan Simba and RSF units can negate Hits against them by retreating. [10.2] Engineer Units: The Tanzanian 1st and 20th infantry units have an “Engineer” designation as shown here. At any Battle in which they are involved, these units can negate one Combat Terrain Effect (total, not each) for any single set of attack or defense die rolls. This Engineer effect is applicable up to once per Battle Sequence. [10.3] Idi Amin: The removal of the Idi Amin counter creates some special effects. Once the Tanzanian Player occupies Kampala with the UNLA Guerrilla unit, and for as long as it remains there, the Ugandan Player rolls a die at the beginning of each turn following the occupation of that hex. On a die roll of 5 or 6, Idi Amin flees the country and the Idi Amin unit is removed from play (i.e., eliminated for all game purposes). Effect: At the beginning of each Ugandan Supply Step turn after Idi Amin is eliminated (for whatever reason), the Ugandan Player rolls one die and removes (eliminates) that number of units from the map. These “fleeing” units can be Ugandan, Libyan, and/or PLA. [10.4] Guerrilla Units: The three Guerrilla units in the game (the PLA, UNLA, and KM Sperforce units with the dark green icons) are always in supply for movement and combat (6.3). [10.5] Air Units: If you choose to play with the Air Game variant (12.1), use the following instructions: Systems Development by Bryan Armor with Alan Emrich
The Last King of Scotland Exclusive Game Rules v1.0 11 [10.5.1] Air Unit Availability: The Ugandan Player begins the game with three Ugandan Air units. At the end of each Tanzanian Movement Step, the Ugandan Player must eliminate one Air unit of their choice each time an Airbase is occupied by a Tanzanian ground unit for the first time. These Air units never return to play, even if Ugandan ground units reoccupy an Airbase hex or the Tanzanian units subsequently leave it on a future turn. Historically, Ugandan aircraft were either captured intact on the airfield (this happened at two airfields), or the pilots deserted and flew their planes to the Sudan. Ugandan-controlled Libyan Air units are a different matter. They are always available so long as one Airbase is Ugandan controlled. That is, Libyan aircraft are removed from the game only at the end of the Tanzanian Movement Step, when the last Ugandan Airbase has been conquered. The Tanzanian Player places all their aircraft in the Tanzanian People’s Defense Force (TPDF) Air Wing box on the map. The Ugandan Player can never capture or occupy this box. [10.5.2] Air Strikes: During your Battle Step B, you may call in an Air Strike. Each of your Air units in play can participate in only one of the Battles that you initiate that turn. Your opponent cannot conduct Air Strikes; only you, the Attacker, can do that. Procedure: To perform an Air Strike, place one or more of your available Air units in the Defender’s hex during your Battle Step B. Conduct and resolve their Combat Dice immediately (as per 9.4), including the application of any Hits they inflict (exactly as per 9.5) before proceeding to Battle Step C. This can reduce the Defender’s strength prior to conducting the actual ground combat! At the end of Battle Step B, return those Air units used in that Air Strike to the TPDF box (for the Tanzanians) or any Ugandan-controlled Airbase hex (for the Ugandan side). [10.5.3] Air Unit Limits: There is no limit to how many air units can conduct an Air Strike in a single Battle. Air units cannot participate in Momentum Attacks (9.7). You cannot launch an Air Strike against the TPDF box or an Airbase hex with only Air units located there. [10.5.4] TEC Effects on Air Units: Hexside and hex terrain modifiers do not apply to Air Strikes. [10.5.5] Air Units Defending an Airbase Hex: Ground units attacking a hex containing only opposing Air units win an automatic victory in that Battle. Those defending Air units are destroyed and the Attacker can Advance After Combat (9.6), etc. If ground units also occupy the defending Airbase hex, the Air units do not contribute to the defense in any way (i.e., they do not throw dice nor can they absorb Hits). If the attacking units Advance After Combat into that hex, the Air units there are destroyed. This war was remarkable in that there was little “dogfighting” during the entire conflict. [11.0] HOW TO WIN [11.1] Decisive Victory: The Tanzanian Player wins an immediate, game-ending Decisive Victory if, at the end of any Player Phase, the Tanzanian player occupies Kampala and Arua (regardless of supply status). The Ugandan Player wins an immediate, game-ending Decisive Victory if, at the © 2013 Dennis Bishop and Victory Point Games
