DEPLOYMENT TABLES

Determine the deployment of your tank by

rolling 2D on one of the following tables.
Consult Table II only if you command an
M4A3E2 tank model (either Tank #12 or
#13). If your tank is deployed either moving
or hull down, mark it on the Battle Board
with an appropriate marker. If the number
you roll is with in the range of numbers
under the column " Lead Tank," your tank
is also the lead tank of your formation . Note
that you are lead tank in the Notes section
of the After Action Report.

PANZER FAUST ATTACK TABLES

Determine first from which sector on the Battle Board the Panzerfaust attack is originating by rolling 1D according to rules section
5.12. If the sector rolled is US con trolled, no attack tak es place. If
the sector is not US controlled, place the Panzerfaust Attack marker
in the sector's close range zone. Roll on Table I to see if an attack
occurs. If an attack occurs, roll on Table II to see if the Panzerfaust
hits your tank. If it hits, roll on Table III to see if your tank is KO .
If no attack occurs, or the attack does not hit, or your tank is not
KO, the random event has no effect.
