Rules of Engagement - In this game there are a few rules that apply to actual warfare.

L.O.S. (Line Of Sight) – In order for an opponent to fire at any soldier, that soldier must be able to see the opponent. Line of sight basically means your soldier must be able to be in the general vision field of your opponent to be able to be shot at. There are two ways to find the L.O.S., one is by simply getting on your hands and knees behind your figure and view the battlefield as if you were the soldier. Another way is to build a periscope and doing the same.

Camouflage – See Chart.

Bunkers - In this game, bunkers are a necessity. You will use them to in the beginning and is some scenarios, use the in the end.

Bunker rules are simple. When your soldier is behind a bunker/wall all of opponents targeting rolls against you are reduced by four. When moving away from a bunker, you must go around the walls.

Bunker Weapons -- Bunkers should be equipped with at least one (1) stationary weapon (.50 Cal., MK-19 or a T.O.W.). Bunker weapons have tripods. These weapons can be moved only by two men or a vehicle. If being carried by two soldiers, roll two dice, you may move that many units (6 inches). to move any of these, you must have a tripod.

Attacking Bunkers -- When attacking a bunker, you may destroy the walls by throwing a grenade at it. Grenade rules do not apply to this action. This action does count as your attacking phase, opponent may fire back. Roll one die, if roll higher than four wall is destroyed and any thing connected to it is lost.

Radios -- Every bunker has a built in radio. When a soldier radios for reinforcements, they can only come from the bunker as if receiving the order. Soldiers in bunker can only call other soldiers with radios or vehicles, nobody else.

Taking a bunker -- If you are playing a game with multiple people, you may capture some one else’s base and use it as your own. To do this, the defending soldiers must be killed before any attempt to capture may occur. In order to capture, you must roll 2 dice, if number > 7 the base is captured. If it is < 7 you may not capture this bunker. If opponent doesn’t capture the bunker, bunker is invalid (no longer in play).
