Special Rolls:
Mission Tactics: Hen and Chicks rule. If any Soviet Tank or Transport team (including assault guns and armored transporters) in a company moved more than 6”/15cm in the Movement Step, none of the Tank or Transport teams in the company can shoot in the Shooting Step. (Rule does not include Tankodesantniki) (P-159 of Fortress Europe, P-29 of Stalingrad)
Wave Attacks: Light Tankovaya Companies equipped with T-26 or BT light tanks and Strelkovaya Companies can undertake wave attacks with new companies replacing ones as they are destroyed.
Mark a point within 6”/15cm of the command team when the company is deployed. This will be the location where the next company in the wave will form up to continue the assault. A Soviet hammer and sickle flag make a great marker.
When the company is destroyed, check that there are no enemy teams within 8”/20cm of the company form up point and form up point is concealed or hidden from all enemy teams. If this is the case, roll a die. On a score of 4+ the company is replaced with the new company from the next wave. In any other case or a lesser roll, the company is not replaced and is permanently destroyed.
The new company starts at the original strength of the destroyed company. Only teams that are actually part of the company return to the new company. All attachments are permanently lost.
Deploy the new company within 6”/15cm of the form up point at the start of your next Movement step. The company can not take any action in the turn it deploys. It can not prevent the enemy from holding an objective until the beginning of the following Soviet turn.
The new company counts as a totally new company arriving from reserve. The old company still counts as being destroyed for Company Moral checks. In effect the size of your force increases each time a company is destroyed, e.g. A Battalion with three Strelkovaya Companies and a Machine-Gun Company has already lost and replaced three Strelkovaya Companies (in true Soviet style!). At this point it has three companies destroyed, but with four companies still on the table, it doesn’t need to take a Company Morale check yet. If it lost one more Strelkovaya Company, it would have four companies destroyed, but only three companies on the table at the start of the turn(the new company not arriving until the movement step), and would be below half-strength therefore triggering a Company Morale Check for the Battalion.
In your movement step, you may elect to destroy any or all companies that are below half strength. If the company can make a wave attack, roll at the start of your next turn to see if it will be replaced with a new company from the next wave.
The Wave Attacks rule only applies to light Tankovaya Companies equipped with T-26 or BT light tanks and Strelkovaya Companies. It does not apply to Motostrelkovaya Companies or any other type of company.
