● 2 Stosstruppen or 2 Tanks must be used in the 1st round (one unit
distributed per sub-battle) to use Infiltration.
● The only authorized preliminary bombardment is Flash Bombardment.
● The Rolling Barrage Tactic may not be used with Infiltration.
Infiltration Procedure (per sub-battle)
The procedure is the same for the Stosstruppens and the Tanks, but each
one is resolved in a different manner, according to its own offensive results.
Special units: either 2 Stosstruppens or 2 Tanks maximum to carry out the
Infiltration in the 1st round (1 unit per sub-battle).
Not both at the same time (it is necessary to make a choice: Stosstruppen
or Tank).
Lowering enemy Trenches: a modified D12 (one for each sub-battle) is
rolled, also distinguishing the Tanks and the Assault troops.
+1 if the general has the “assault troops” ability (for the
Stosstruppens) or “tank” ability (for the tanks)
+1 per previous victorious Offensive** (region taken) with Infiltration
tactics (max. +2)
+1 in 1918+
-1 against German trenches (except while “in movement” in
Combined doctrine)
-1 secondary offensive
add for the Stosstruppens
+1 Machine gun technology
+1 per Stosstruppen technology (Germany)
-2 the Defender has the “Defense in Depth” Tactic
add for the Tanks
+ ? the Tank values, to be determined (See Below)
-1 the Defender has the “Defense in Depth” Tactic
126 World War One: La Grande Guerre 1914-1918
Victorious Grand Offensive**: Western Front (French or Italian) and East
(Russian) only. If the Target region has been taken by using Infiltration. The
bonus is acquired as soon as the Grand Offensive is officially victorious.
Infiltration Results
If the result if ≤ 8, nothing happens.
If the result is from 9 to 12, the enemy trench loses -1 level.
If the result is 13+, the enemy trench loses -2 levels.
NB: each sub-battle has its own result.
21.9 Air Support
This Tactic allows the Fighters and Bombers to use with more efficiency
their “Tactical Support” aerial mission, in favor of units on the ground that
are engaged in battle.
Learning
Aerial Support tactic has a -2 penalty for its learning test, compensated by
two +1 bonuses through the acquisition of Aerodynamic and
Maneuverability Technologies.
Advantages
● The Aerial support value increases by 1.
● It is possible henceforth to use 2 Fighters (or Bombers), instead of
one, per sub-battle in a Tactical support mission.
Disadvantages
● None.
21.10 Defense in Depth
This Tactic weakens the preliminary bombardment and the combat effects
and performance of certain new weapons or troops (i.e. Tanks and
Stosstruppen).
Learning
This tactic is solely reserved for Defense.
Defense in Depth has a -2 penalty for its learning test, compensated by a
+1 bonus through the acquisition of #7 Antitank Technology.
Constraints
This Tactic may not be used unless the Infiltration Tactic has already been
used (with Tanks or Stosstruppens).
Advantages
● A “normal” or “heavy” bombardment has a -2 penalty.
● A “flash” bombardment only has a -1 penalty.
