NEW WEAPONS

Pump-action shotgun: when you fire this weapon, rather than performing an Aim Test, place the triangular template (20x5cm ) 

with the pointed end next to the firing model; perform a Roll to Hit on all models, even those partially under the template.

SPECIAL RULES AND NEW CHARACTERISTICS:

Armour Value (AV): the value is subtracted from the Roll to Hit.

Devastating: weapons with this characteristic treat all cover as one level less than normal (e.g. a Wood only counts as 1d6 of 
cover).   

Fast Heal: a model with this characteristic does not apply the penalty for being wounded.

Hero: The loss of a model with this characteristic makes the enemy gain 3 Scenario Points.

Strongman: a model with this characteristic can carry extremely heavy weights. In game terms does not suffer a 

penalty for cumbersome weapons.

X Wounds: X is the number of wounds the model must take to be KIA. A KIA result counts as 2 Wounds (use Wound 

markers to keep track of how many wounds the model has taken).

Ultra-Fast: a model with this characteristic does not apply Terrain Table penalties. If the Terrain Table gives a bonus 

there is a further 1d6 bonus. 

Vibranium: Captain America can use his Shield in Melee adding +1d6 to his Roll. He can also throw it, using it like 

a firearm and applying normal range modifiers. The Shield can only be used like this in alternate turns (it returns to 

Captain America). If Captain America rolls a triple-1 when using the Shield like this then the Shield doesn’t return 

automatically and stays where the target is/was (mark the position with a dice): to get it back Captain America must 

move adjacent to the dice (no specific action is needed). Captain America can also use the Shield when fired at: 

subtract 4 (AV) from the enemy’s Roll.
