Army [4.5] Independent Units
Add 4 NATO Helicopter Transport Points to the Starting The U.S. 2nd Squadron of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment Combat Support. is color coded as a set of independent units.

[5.4] HQ Reconstitution Each time that an HQ is eliminated, the loss counts for a victory point (provided that step losses are credited towards Victory Conditions in the scenario being played).
[8.0] Movement A unit with a March or Reserve mission cannot enter a hex adjacent to an enemy unit unless that hex is already occupied by a friendly unit. It does not matter whether the hex to be entered is in an enemy ZOC or not.
[10.0] Hasty Att ack and Assault Missions A unit participating in a Hasty Attack or Assault mission with no stated objective hex is free to move its full six or three movement points, into and out of enemy ZOC's. However, if it ends its movement adjacent to an enemy unit, it is subject to full Defensive Fire, and cannot employ Offensive Fire in return.
[19.0] Scenario Setup Whenever the NATO player is allowed to destroy bridges on map prior to the start of play, all such destruction must be announced before the Warsaw Pact player plans any missions.
[21.1] EW Ass ets All Warsaw Pact HQ units should possess an EW asset marker, whether they are initially deployed or entered as reinforcements, except in the "Attack to Relieve a Pocket" and "Wolf's Jaws" scenarios, in which only the Main HQ's still have their EW assets.
[24.1] SAM and Flak Fire NATO non-HQ units receive 1/3 of a flak point per step as indicated in the rules. However, Warsaw Pact non-HQ units receive 1/2 of a flak point per step.
[25.5] Fire Strike Resolution Whenever a stack is defending against an enemy Fire Strike, it always defends using the Receiving Offensive Fire section of the Terrain Effects Chart.
[30.1] Airmobile Movement The rules specify that any unit using airmobile, movement must either start or end its movement next to a superior HQ. This restriction does not apply during the turn in which airmobile units first enter the map as reinforcements.
