Many scenarios grant a player the use of specific Operations cards. Each of these cards enhances the scenario with special rules. These rules can affect anything from weather conditions and tactical or morale options to specialization enhancements, such as the ability for squads to place smoke and razor wire on the battlefield.
Example: The Scenario Guide specifies that in the “Liberation” scenario, the German player receives the “Desperate Defenders” Operations card. This card states: “Your squads may attack at half their firepower (round up) even if they are pinned or disrupted. Squads containing friendly officers do not gain any additional benefit.” The German player benefits from this effect throughout the scenario.
When a scenario grants a player one or more Operations cards, find those cards at the beginning of the game and place them in the appropriate player’s play area.
Some Operations cards will affect both players, so be sure to read and understand all Operations cards in play.
