Warriors are outstanding soldiers who perform amazingfeats. Whether their actions are heroic fights against the oddsor inspiring leadership in desperate situations, these warriorscan change the outcome of battles by their strength of willand personal courage.Warriors can be any type of team. While some warriorsare infantrymen, others are tank commanders, and someare even generals travelling in their transport vehicle. EachWarrior team is unique. There can only be one of each particular Warrior in any force.HIGHER COMMANDWARRIOR INDEPENDENT TEAMSWarriors are not supermen and can be wounded or killedduring a battle like any other soldier.When a Warrior Team is Destroyed the owning playerrolls a die. On a roll of 3 , the Warrior survives and switches toanother Team if there is one available. If there are noTeams of the appropriate Type within 6”/15cm, theWarrior is killed. Otherwise, the Warrior is killed.Some Warriors are not part of a Unit and operate as anIndependent Team. An personal Transport Team that comeswith the Warrior remains part of the Warrior IndependentUnit. However, unlike normal Independent Teams WarriorIndependent Team can Charge into Contact, Counterattack,and take Objectives.WARRIORS ALWAYS STAND AND FIGHTBeing heroic, a Warrior Independent Team never has to takea Unit Last Stand Test.WHEN SHOT ATWhen a Warrior Independent Team is hit, the owning playermay select another Unit and use the Mistaken Target rule toswap hits between them as if they were the same Unit.WARRIORS IN ASSAULTA Warrior Independent Team can combine with a Unit fromtheir Formation, or any Unit in their Force if a Warrior HigherCommand Team, to conduct a joint assault (page 52 of therulebook). To do this, the Warrior and the Unit Leader mustbe of the same Type (Tank or Infantry) and must start theAssault Step within 6”/15cm and in Line of Sight of eachother. For the duration of the Assault Step, the combinedUnit is treated as a single Unit having the higher of the twoUnits’ Counterattack values, unless otherwise specified bythe Warriors special rules.Only one Warrior Independent Team may conduct a jointassault (page 52 of the rulebook) with each Unit Charginginto Contact.Some Warriors were in command of higher level formationslike battalions, regiments and even divisions.Higher Command Warriors can use the Commander’sLeadership rule (see page 60 of the rulebook) for any Unitsin your Force.Warrior Higher Command Teams are always WarriorIndependent Teams.KILLING WARRIORSSWITCHING TO ANOTHER TEAMIf your Warrior Infantry Team survives, remove anotherfriendly Infantry Team from their Formation, or in theirForce if a Warrior Higher Command Team, within 6”/15cmand replace it with the Warrior’s Team.If your Warrior Tank Team survives, nominate anotherfriendly Tank Team from their Formation, or in their Forceif a Warrior Higher Command Team, within 6”/15cm as thenew Warrior. The Warrior now uses the characteristics of thenew Tank Team.ONLY ROLL ONCEIf a Warrior is Destroyed multiple times by a Unit’s Shooting,the Warrior still only needs to roll once to see if they survive.WARRIORS IN UNITSOther Warriors are part of one of your Units, often replacing one of the normal Teams and sometimes becoming theUnit Leader. These Warriors remain part of the Unit for theentire game.3
