When a Big Gun scores a hit on an enemy target unit and the unit is not
eliminated or forced to retreat, place one Big Gun Cross-hair marker on
the hex of the targeted unit.
When a Big Gun Battery fires at a unit in a hex with a Cross-hair marker,
the Big Gun Battery rolls 1 additional die (it has found the range and has
zeroed-in on the target hex). Cross-hair markers are not cumulative, so
there is no reason to place more than one Cross-hair marker on a hex;
however once a hex has a Cross-hair marker, all Big Gun units and War Ship
Destroyer units targeting the unit in this hex roll 1 additional die.
The Cross-hair marker remains on the hex until the enemy unit moves
or is eliminated from the hex. When the enemy unit moves or is eliminated,
the Cross-hair marker is placed back on the hex with the Big Guns. All
Cross-hair markers are also returned to the Big Gun unit when it moves.

Range and number of dice rolled by Artillery Smoke Shells (Actions 31 - Smoke Shells)
Smoke Shells are active for 2 full turns after being fired. Use Smoke
screen markers such as those that came with Campaign Books Volume 1
or Volume 2 to mark the hexes your Smoke Shells landed in. If you do not
have Smoke screen markers, use any unused badge or round marker from
your base game instead. Just make sure the two sides of your markers are
different, to keep track of the two turns your Smoke Shells will last.
After your opponent’s first turn, flip the Smoke screen markers over to
show the smoke and sun side of the marker. After your opponent’s second
turn, remove the markers from the battlefield.

Smoke Shells have the following impact on game play:

 Movement: A unit must stop when moving onto a hex with a Smoke
Shell and may move no further on that turn.
 Battle: When targeting a unit that is on a hex containing a Smoke Shell,
reduce the number of Battle dice rolled by 1. And a unit battling from
a hex containing a Smoke Shell battles out at minus 1 die.
 Line of Sight: A hex containing a Smoke Shell blocks Line of Sight,
though units that are in the hex containing this Smoke Shell may be
seen and see out of that hex. In other words, a unit is hidden from line
of sight only if the line of sight crosses the hex containing a Smoke
Shell. Smoke Shell hexes also block line of sight for Artillery units.

a single Tank figure in each unit marked with a Hobart’s Funnies badge
with a Churchill Tank figure equipped with the accessory of your choice. This
accessory must be chosen at game start, and cannot be changed during the
course of the game. During the game, when taking hits, remove all the other
Tank figures in this unit first, keeping your Churchill tank for last.
Hobart’s Funnies units move and battle like normal Tank units. Unless
stated otherwise, the accessories apply throughout a scenario and can be
used multiple times. Depending on the accessory attached to the Churchill

bridge accessory may only be used one time; once placed, another bridge
may not be built by this same Churchill unit during the game.

Italian High Command
When the Italian High Command rules are in effect its army starts the
battle with 6 Command cards in hand. Each time a unit is lost, one Italian
player’s Command card is selected at random by his opponent and
discarded. However the number of Command cards held by the Italian
player cannot be reduced below three.

Motorized Divisions
While in short supply, Italian motor vehicles tended to be of better than
average quality: British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery himself made
use of some during his North African campaigns!

Artillery Bravery
Italian Artillery units exhibited remarkable courage throughout the
war - during the Desert campaign, some of them would keep firing their
obsolescent guns at the enemy until they were literally overrun!
