Help with a couple of symbols

Battlefront features the power of battalion-level combat in some of this period's most bloody and intense conflicts: Saipan, Market Garden, Novorossisk, and Gazala. Players will have realistic control over their soldiers, with a tactical scale just large enough to make a telling difference in the strategic picture.

Help with a couple of symbols

Post by jcrohio »

I am new to Battlefront and am trying to work through all the symbols and rules. I have encountered two symbols I am not sure of and would appreciate any help.

1. The first is a blown bridge with a dice next to it that is on a British engineer unit in the Market Garden scenario

2. The second is a symbols of an armored unit with the phrase "+1 to armor" next to it - it is on a lot of the British Armor units in the Market Garden scenario

Thanks for any help

1. This is the chance on a d6 of the unit blowing a bridge.
 
2. Dont have the game in front of me, but I am assuming this is added to the shock value of the combat.

Here's what the "+1 to armor" means:   increase by one the die throw required for enemy direct fire to hit.

Here's an example of how a "+2 to armor" works (defending unit is 189 Pz Company)

Fire away!  These were two very good questions.  Had to ask SSG how the die next to the blown bridge works (there's a part of this I don't understand fully... maybe a new bug... we'll see).
