1.
Government.
The
government of Germany starts the game in Berlin hex 37:0121. Use the German capital
marker to mark its location.
During any German initial phase, the German player
ma} evacuate the government, moving it into central Germany. When evacuated, remove
the government's capital marker from the map. Note: It does not cost the German
player an} rail capacity to evacuate the government.
If the Polish player
gains ownership of the hex containing the government, roll a die and consult the
Success Table:
- On any Success result, the government escapes capture,
and the German player must evacuate it in the next initial phase.
- On any
Failure result, the Polish player captures the government. Remove the capital
marker. (The Polish player gains a victory award for this event.)
2.
Transfers to the West
Germany cannot maintain large forces in Poland
indefinitely, as these forces are needed it western Germany to guard against an
anticipated Frencl offensive there.
The German player transfers forces
to the western front b; moving them off the west edge of the map in Germany Ground
units may move overland, by rail, or by air transport air units must fly the transfer
mission. Home Defense air unit (see section A3 below) may not transfer to the
west. Place forces transferred to the west in the Western Front box.
All
forces transferred to the west increase the Westwal strength (see Rule 27D) as
follows:
- Panzer and light panzer units add double their attack strength.
- All other ground units add their defense strength.
- All bomber-category
air units add double their tactic bombing strength.
- All fighter air units
add their air defense strength.
3. Home Defense Air Units
Certain
German air units are specified in the German order of battle as Home Defense air
units. These air units may be based only in airbases at major cities in Germany.
They may fly only interception and patrol attack missions.
4. Intrinsic
Defense
Every major city in German (including East Prussia, but not
Danzig) has an intrinsic, 5-point supported defense strength. Treat the intrinsic
defense strength of a city as if it were a supported infantry brigade with an
attack strength of 0 and a defense strength of 5, with the following properties:·
It does not count against stacking.
- If forced to retreat due to combat, it is eliminated instead.
- Its strength
is counted for determining losses due to exchanges.
- If eliminated for any
reason, its city no longer has an intrinsic defense strength for the rest of the
game.
5. Army Group South Reserves
The divisions (only) of
the Army Group South Reserves may not move on turn 1 |
