P.5 ReinforcementsSee tables on reverse side of this page—German on the left; Allied on the right.
All reinforcing units arrive full-strength for both sides except for the US 1st Infantry Division, which arrives with only one step.
P.6 Special Scenario RulesBoth sides may trace supply through any and all Areas of Zone 5, but neither side may enter them, nor Retreat or Strat-move into or through them.
The scenario begins with the Ger-man Combat Phase of Turn 1.
All contested areas are considered newly-contested for the German Combat Phase of Turn 1 and a round of combat must be fought in them during that Phase.
German artillery removal rules (16.12) take effect on Turns 5+.
Reusable Special Actions and HQ assets are delayed one turn after use before being moved back to the Available Box or the selection cup, as appropriate.
P.7 VictoryAt start of the scenario, Germans control 4 areas in Zone 6. Victory is determined by the number of areas in German control at the end of Turn 9:
11+ areas = German victory
10 areas = draw
9 or less areas = Allied victory
P.8 Historical OutcomeEight areas controlled—Allied victory.
