U.S. RG CHART NOTES:

^a Roll for armor leader availability on table 8.6206.

^b When the U.S. player purchases a pre-game Bombardment, he records a secret Pre-Registered hex for it. To resolve each Bombardment, after all on-map setup is completed he places an AR counter in the Pre-Reg. hex and makes a C1.31 error DR (with the white dr halved; FRU) to determine the Bombardment Center Hex. He then places a FFE:C counter in that Center Hex. All hexes within seven hexes of that hex now undergo Bombardment as per C1.82-.823. There are no "spared hexes". After the Bombardment has been fully resolved, its FFE:C is removed and that Bombardment RG is Eliminated. Each Bombardment is fully resolved before conducting another Bombardment (if any). The maximum number of Bombardments useable per CG scenario is equal to the number of new CG Dates since the last CG-Scenario End (e.g., if one Idle Date occurred between scenarios, no > two Bombardments may be conducted for the current scenario). No Bombardment is resolved on an Idle Date.

^c Each MG is accompanied by a 3-4-7 HS [EXC: 3-3-7 HS in CG II]; each Gun by a 2-2-7 crew.

^e Assault Engineers (A11.5; H1.22) and Sappers (B28.8; B24.7).

^f Determine arrival turn, number of FB and presence/lack-of bombs as per E7.2-.21. (All bombs are HE.) No > two FB RG may enter play per CG scenario, and no > one (or part thereof) may be in play at any given time during the scenario.

^g Available only on 21 PM in CG I and 23 PM in CG III. M12 GMC OBA²³ is a 150mm module (HE only) with an Offboard Observer (in lieu of a radio/-phone) who in CG I is at Level 0 on/south-of StU1 [EXC: he has no LOS to any hex on/north-of hexrow StX], and in CG II is at Level 3 on/south-of LgK1; secretly record the actual hex during U.S. setup. Normal OBA rules apply to M12 GMC OBA [EXC: each red chit drawn is automatically mixed back into the Draw Pile; each FFE can affect (i.e., its Blast Area comprises) only the hex containing the FFE counter; the FFE creates no LOS Hindrance].

^h The initial Inherent crew of each M4A1 MC halftrack is a 2-2-7 (not a 1-2-6).

^l Determine SW and leader type(s) as per 8.6204 and 8.6206 respectively.

^m Receives a -2 DRM to its Radio Maintenance DR (C1.22).

^o As of 23 AM in CG III, an Offboard Observer (in lieu of a radio/phone) is automatically available for each module (if so desired, and at no extra CPP cost) at Level 3 on/south-of LgK1; secretly record the actual hex during U.S. setup.

^p Increase CPP cost by one per Pre-Registered hex (C1.73) purchased with the module (no module may have > two Pre-Reg. hexes). Each Pre-Reg. hex is Retained as long as the module it is assigned to is Retained (see SSR CG22; 8.4). Barrage (E12.) is NA. See also SSR CG15.

^q Determine MMC types as per 8.6202. For RG I6 and I8, see also US Vehicle Note 30.

^r Must enter as reinforcements if entered on the CG Date of purchase (SSR CG6c; 8.4) [EXC: 8.6194a]. See also 8.6194b.

^s May fire only HE and SMOKE [EXC: no Smoke for 80+mm]

^t Determine model type(s) as per 8.6203.

^v See also SSR CG15 and CG22 (8.4).

‡ Purchase for use during the Initial Scenario of the CG is NA.

* Each colored number represents the maximum number of such RG that may be purchased for entry (or setup as per 8.6194a) via an Entry Area of that same color (see 8.6197).

c Each MG is accompanied by a 3-4-8 HS; each Gun by a 2-2-8 crew.

d Subject to Depletion (8.6201).

^e Assault Engineers (A11.5; H1.22) and Sappers (B28.8; B24.7).

h The initial Inherent crew of each SPW 251/2 halftrack is a 2-2-8 (not a 1-2-7).

i Has IFE of "6" (German Ordnance Note 26).

j The German player may freely select Pz IV H or J, but each such Section must be of the same model.

l SW and leader types are determined as per 8.6204 and 8.6206 respectively.

^m Receives a -2 DRM to its Radio Maintenance DR (C1.22).

p Increase CPP cost by one per Pre-Registered hex (C1.73) purchased with the module (no module may have > two Pre-Reg. hexes). Each Pre-Reg. hex is Retained as long as the module it is assigned to is Retained (see SSR CG22; 8.4). Barrage (E12) is NA. See also SSR CG15.

R Cannot be set up in Reserve (SSR CG7a; 8.4).

s Each German OBA module has Scarce Ammunition, and may fire only HE and smoke.

u The second module cannot be purchased until the first one has been Eliminated as per SSR CG15 (8.4).

‡ Purchase for use during the Initial Scenario of the CG is NA.

* In CG II, the German may purchase only one of these three Pz Sect RG. Once one is purchased, the remaining two become unavailable.

§ SPW251/21: When the Luftwaffe began uparming its aircraft with 30mm machine-cannons, numbers of now-surplus MG 151 15mm and 20mm rapid-fire aircraft guns were made available to the Heer. Some of these weapons were installed in specially built halftracks for use in both ground and AA roles. Designated the 251/21, this halftrack carried in its passenger compartment a modified Kriegsmarine pedestal mount with three such guns of the same caliber. Production of the SPW 251/21 began in the late summer of 1944, but relatively few were produced. It was apparently intended that three such vehicles would equip the AA section of the 4th (heavy weapons) platoon in each Panzergrenadier kompanie. Two SPW 251/21 were left behind in La Gleize by Kampfgruppe Peiper.

† The MA has AA capability - as signified by "MA: AA" on the counter.
