Charles de Gaulle in Flames Of War

Characteristics

You may field de Gaulle in any Compagnie de Combat for +45 points. Light Tank Platoons in a force joined by de Gaulle must have R-35 tanks.

Special Rules

For France
Any platoon joined by De Gaulle always passes all Motivation Tests on a roll of 3+.

Attack
De Gaulle’s response to the crisis of 1940 was to attack the Germans wherever and whenever he found them. You may deploy de Gaulle anywhere in your deployment area before deploying any other troops. If you do this, you may attempt to advance each Light and Battle Tank Platoon that is deployed entirely within 12”/30cm of de Gaulle as you deploy it.

Roll a die immediately after deploying each platoon:

On a score of 4+, the platoon moves up to 8”/20cm towards to the enemy coming no closer than 12”/30cm to any enemy team.

On any other roll, the platoon remains where it was deployed, and no further platoons may attempt to advance in this way.

Once you deploy any other type of platoon, you may no longer attempt to advance your Light and Battle Tank Platoons.

The blister also comes with an optional small base so that you can choose to use this very characterful figure to represent your Company Commander.
