Due to the rarity of the IS-3 and its speculative nature, you are only allowed ONE tank per army. The IS-3 counts as a whole heavy tankovaya company.

Special Rules:

Slow tank: The IS-3 is a heavy tank and therefore is quite slow. It moves 8’’ over road and

Cross-country terrain.

Unreliable: Because the IS-3 is very new, it is very unreliable. If the IS-3 moves at the double, you roll a die, and if you roll 1 the tank bogs down and doesn’t move.

Anti-Aircraft: The HMG is able to fire at aircraft 

Smoke: Because the long 122mm gun has smoke ammo, it is able to fire a smoke screen alternatively.

Due to the rarity and speculative nature of the T-44, you are only allowed TWO tanks per army. The 2 tanks count as a whole medium tankovaya company.

Special Rules:

Slow Tank: Due to the heavy 100mm gun, the T-44 is slowed down during battle. The T-44 moves 8’’ across road and cross-country terrain.

Unreliable: Because the T-44 was such a new tank, it was quite unreliable. When the T-44 moves at the double, you roll a die. If you roll a 1, the T-44 becomes bogged down and doesn’t move.

Wide Tracks: Like its earlier counterpart, the T-34, the T-44 was very mobile. If the unreliable rule does take effect and the tank does bog down, roll a die, and on a roll of 4+ it immediately frees itself.

Anti-Aircraft: The HMG can fire at aircraft.

You can have only ONE Maus tank, even if you are fielding Several Companies,
and counts as 2 Divisional Support Platoons.

Special Rules:

Super Heavy Tank: The Maus,  is a VERY heavy tank. Across roads, it moves 4"and it cannot move at the double.
Cross-Country, it moves 4", but makes a bog check on 1-3. On Rough Terrain, the Maus must
make a skill check, not to breakdown, additional to a bog check (same as cross country)

Due to the rarity of the experimental P-40, only a maximum of  TWO tanks  is allowed per army. The P-40’s count as a whole medium tank platoon.

Special Rules:

Smoke: Because the 75/34 gun has smoke ammo, it is able to fire a smoke screen alternately.

Due to the speculative nature of the celere sahariano medium tank, a maximum of TWO is allowed per army. The tanks count as a whole medium tank platoon.

Special Rules:

Fast Tank: The Celere Sahariano can move 32’’ when moving at the double.

Unreliable: Because the celere sahariano didn’t really reach production, it was quite unreliable. When the tank moves at the double you roll a die, and if you roll a 1, the tank bogs and doesn’t move.

Smoke: Because the 75/34 gun has smoke ammo, it is able to fire a smoke screen.

MG                                 16''             3           2         6        ROF 1 when other weapons fire

Because the T-100 only saw combat twice, you can only have ONE tank per army. The T-100 counts as a whole heavy tankovaya company.

Special Rules:

Unreliable: Like most new soviet tanks of the time, the T-100 was unreliable. When the T-100 moves at the double roll a die. If you roll a 1, the tank bogs down and doesn’t move.

Slow Tank: Because of the sheer 58 tons the T-100 was carrying, it was very slow. The T-100 moves 8’’ across road and cross-country terrain.

Land Battleship: If both the 76mm and the 45mm fire, their firepower becomes 1+. Each turret can engage a different target.

Ammunition Shortage: When using the 76mm, this rule applies. If you fail the test for hitting a tank, and you roll a 1 when you fail, you roll again. If you don’t get 4+ the gun runs out of ammunition and cannot shoot. If a tank has no ammunition, they may ram enemy tanks.
