The Unit Special Rules Database is an attempt to collect and catalog the Special Rules for each unit within the Armies of books. Only unit special rules are included; equipment options and Army Special Rules are not. Now you can quickly see that:
- Germany has the most Flak vehicles (22)
- Imperial Japan has the most Infiltrators (8)
- Italy has the most Vulnerable vehicles (12)
- Traffic Direction (US) is not the same as Traffic Direction (Germany, Italy, GB)
- Soviet Officers do not have the option for Intelligence.
Note:
Some Special Rules are optional, those have been marked with *.
Some Special Rules are removable, those have been marked with **.
No PDF Army List nations are included. The Database will be updated with each Armies of release.
If you see any errors, missing rules, units, or have any feedback; add a comment or send Andrew an email at ChicagoDiceTeam@gmail.com.
