Hey BC!
What the heck do Storm Groups do? Can’t find it in the rules anywhere....
Check out the Instructions button, then click on the Soviet Cards button at left (for future reference, not because I'm a smartass, lol).
It does say to check the Storm Group option for more info...but I can't find that in the rules. It only appears in the Tutorial game once you draw a Resupply card (which is among the Wehrmacht cards).
Once you draw a Resupply card, you have to feed peeps in the House, then it flips over and goes to the Storm Group space in the upper left corner of the map. To do a Storm Group raid, you must:
- Have at least one soldier that is not Exhausted or Disrupted, to send on the raid
- The color for the Storm Group cannot have any German soldiers in its area (e.g., if purple is displayed, you cannot have any German soldiers or tanks on the purple (6) line
- Draw a 62nd Army card, which will give you a Storm Group option if the above two points are true.
For each soldier you send on a Storm Group raid, you get one die. If a soldier has an 'S' notation, they get TWO dice instead. You then roll all your dice, and if the total is more than the Defense Value on the card, you succeed and get to keep the card. The VP value on the card tells you how many points that raid was worth, and the game will track that automatically.
