Landing Craft:
Cost
3, Move 2. Landing Craft have no combat value but can be used as a loss in land battles.
Landing Craft must begin and end their move on land, and cannot cross a sea zone that is
enemy occupied; also, they cannot be used in navel combat not even as cannon fodder.
Landing Craft carry the same unit combinations as Transport Ships. Example of Movement: If
no enemy ships are in the sea zone at the beginning of your turn. In this example,
it is the United Kingdom move, and they can launch an attack using Landing Craft
against Finland Norway. What they cannot do is carry those troops to Germany or Karelia
because they do not have the range and could not end their turn on land. |

Land Mines:
Cost 1, Move 1 &
Transport 3 at a time. How They Work: Land Mines are set on the line of the territory
being defended. Any attacking land units entering the territory across that line must pass
through the mine fields. For every mine, roll a die, and for every 1 or 2 rolled the
attacker loses 1 unit of their choice. Example: Germany has built 10 mines and has moved
them into Western Europe and placed them on the coast off the sea zone that the UK is in.
If any enemy land units attack Western Europe from that sea zone the land mines will
defend. If the amphibious assault comes from the sea zone below that borders Spain, the
mines do not defend. Even if the allies take control of Western Europe. The mines will
remain active until the allies attempt to enter or leave through the coast off the UK sea
zone. Then a die will be rolled for each mine until all mines have been used or the enemy
units have been destroyed. Another example is U.S.S.R. lays mines along the line between
Russia and Novosibissk to protect against Japan's attack, but allied units from
Sinkiang are retreating to Russia across that same line. They must go through the mine
field with some Allied information about the field. So for every mine that is on the line,
roll a die, and for every 1 that is rolled remove a unit. If there were 10 mines that were
being crossed and only 2 units crossing the line you would only roll for each mine until
all the mines were used or the 2 units crossing are destroyed, leaving the remaining mines
there to defend. Another example is U.S.S.R. builds 20 mines and places them on the border
of Eastern Europe. Germany can avoid them by attacking through the Ukraine. The U.S.S.R.
player could have placed 10 mines on each border to avoid this. Mines are placed 1 time
and can be crossed over by the nation that places them. (The nation that builds them will
always be the one to place them) Mines that are built and not placed cannot defend and
cannot be taken as loss if that territory is attacked. If the territory is lost and you
have unplaced land mines in that zone, they are just removed from the board.
