WAFFEN KORPS (1944-1945) Notwithstanding the acts performed by some of their divisions and their role in the Party structure (which of course we

condemn) there is no doubt that the Waffen represented the best trained and best equipped troops in the German Army.

Although they were organised as a separate corps outside the traditional military structure, their organisation was quite

similar to that of the rest of the army and so in game terms you can deploy a whole Waffen Korps army (you cannot

have a mixture of army types).

All vehicles can be included but as regards the infantry you can only choose Panzergrenadiers, Grenadiers and

Fallschirmjäger (including all their options except for the Volksturm which are represented by the Hitler Youth

Volksturm).

All units add the characteristic: Waffen Korps. Infantry also add the characteristic: Marksman. The entire army gets the

characteristic: Perfect timing.

Buy infantry and vehicles as normal using the available options, remembering to subtract the points value of their

transformation. You must sacrifice 100 points for every 500 army points you spend.

� A 500 point army must sacrifice 100 points to become Waffen Korps (400 total army points).

� A 3,500 point army must sacrifice 700 points to become Waffen Korps (2,800 total army points).
