Special Rules
Armoured Recce Platoon (Guards) - p.83
The Cromwell tanks of an Armoured Recce Platoon use the Cautious Movement and Disengage special rules on pages 193 and
194 of the rulebook.
Cautious Movement allows a team to be Gone to Ground unless they move At the Double, carry Passengers that are not Recce
teams, shoot, or assault. This adds +2 to the score needed to hit them if they are also Concealed.
Armoured Recce Regimental Recce Platoon (Guards) - p.84
Armoured Recce Regimental Recce platoons are Reconnaissance Platoons.
Armoured Recce Squadron HQ (Guards) - p.83
Unflappable
The Guards are well known as being 'unflappable', retaining their discipline under circumstance where other units might get
themselves in a 'flap' and become unsettled.
All Guards platoons except those in the Armoured Divisional Support (page 117 to 121) may re-roll any failed Platoon Morale
Checks. A Guards Company Command team may re-roll Company Morale Checks.
The Cromwell tanks of an Armoured Recce Platoon use the Cautious Movement and Disengage special rules.
Field Battery, Royal Artillery (Guards) - p.120
Although a Field Battery, Royal Artillery is a single Support choice, each Gun Troop operates as a separate platoon with its own
Command team. The Command team and Staff team of the HQ Troop must be attached to a Gun Troop from its battery at the
start of the game before deployment, see the British Artillery special rules on page 248 of the rulebook.
