ARMY BUILDING

TEAM FORMAT NOTES

Axis vs Allies: Teams must either be entirely Axis or entirely Allied.

Order dice: BOTH players on a team must have separate order dice. That means that in the dice cup/bag, there will be 4 sets of order dice. Whichever team members die is drawn, that player will activate. To the aid or detriment of their partner!

Officers: In all our games, officers do not give morale bonuses to units outside their platoon.

Definitions: Each two-person team will count as “The Player” with regards to any national special rules or scenario objectives.

For example, the Italian rules will count losses from both persons force.

“Free Unit” National Rules apply to the combined team. That means 2 British players may only take 1 free artillery observer per team. 1 free soviet squad etc.

Army lists must be formed using a generic reinforced platoon or theatre selector from appropriate supplement books. Platoon specifics are as follows:

Selected from:

“Armies Of”
Armies of Germany, V2
Armies of United States
Armies of Great Britain
Armies of the Soviet Union
Armies of Imperial Japan
Armies of France and the Allies
Armies of Italy and the Axis

Empire in Flames
Battleground Europe
Germany Strikes
Osfront
Duel in the Sun

DEPLOYMENT CLAUSE (Familiarize yourself, this is used in all missions)

This deployment clause applies to ANY and ALL missions. What this means is this is the same deployment protocol for all the missions used. UNLESS the mission specifically makes exceptions.
Both teams roll a die. The highest rolling team chooses a deployment zone, the other team sets up in the opposite zone. The team who chose their zone first deploys his force first.
Both teams may keep up to half their units in reserve, rounding down. Any and all units not in reserve are deployed in the established zones as per the mission.
Reserves may outflank unless specified in the mission.
Spotters, observers, and snipers are deployed after both teams have placed their non-reserved units. As per the rules on page 131.
