Special Rules
Airlanding Light Battery, Royal Artillery - p.37
Although an Airlanding Light Battery, Royal Artillery is a single Support choice, each Gun Troop operates as a separate platoon
with its own Command team. The Command team and Staff team of the HQ Troop must be attached to a Gun Troop from its
battery at the start of the game before deployment, see the British Artillery special rules on page 248 of the rulebook.

Lt Colonel R.G. Pine-Coffin - p.21

A force led by Pine-Coffin may form a Counterattack Platoon. At the start of the game before any platoons are Deployed and
before any Combat Attachments are made, a force led by Pine-Coffin may take either two or four Man-packed Gun teams from
any or all Parachute Mortar Platoons and Parachute Machine-gun Platoons, and place them in a special Counterattack Platoon.
Teams placed in the Counterattack Platoon become SMG teams equipped with Gammon Bombs, and are no longer part of their
original platoons. The 2iC Command team is the Command team for this platoon.

If all of the Man-packed Gun teams are removed from a platoon, the Platoon Command is also added to the Counterattack
Platoon as an SMG team and any Observer teams are removed.
A force led by Pine-Coffin may not use the Night Attack special rule. Instead, any or all Parachute Platoons (the Combat
platoon) and Counterattack Platoons may Deploy using the Immediate Ambush special rule. Whether or not they did so, any or
all Parachute Platoons may use the Spearhead Deployment special rule.
Lieutenant-Colonel Pine-Coffin is a Warrior Higher Command SMG team rated as Fearless Veteran. Pine-Coffin can join a
British Parachute Company (page 22) for +50 points.
Parachute Assault Platoon (6th) - p.25
You may replace up to one Pioneer Rifle/MG team with a Flame-thrower team at the start of the game before deployment.

Parachute Company HQ (6th) - p.23

All SMG, Rifle/MG, and Pioneer Rifle teams in a Parachute Company HQ, Parachute Platoon, Airlanding Company HQ,
Airlanding Platoon, or Airborne Assault Platoon carry Gammon Bombs giving them Tank Assault 3.

Parachute Machine-gun Platoon (6th) - p.24

Vickers HMG teams from Parachute Machine-gun Platoons are not equipped with the ammunition to conduct indirect fire
techniques so may not fire Artillery Bombardments.

Parachute Platoon (6th) - p.23

Section Mortars
Each turn one of the Parachute Platoon's Rifle/MG teams may fire as a light Mortar team firing Smoke.
