General.
Overruns are a special type of attack an AFV may conduct against infantry units, unarmored vehicles, and Guns. AFVs may not be the target of an overrun attack. Only
AFVs may conduct an overrun; unarmored vehicles may not make overrun attacks. Overruns are performed during the Movement Phase. Overrun attacks may not be made through a building hex, a hex containing a Bunker, a hex containing an enemy AFV, or through or into a hex the AFV is prohibited from entering normally. An AFV transporting (towing) a Gun may not make an overrun attack.
Opportunity Fire Versus an Overrunning AFV.
Any eligible unit, including units in the target hex, may conduct an Opportunity Fire attack against an overrunning AFV as it enters any hex except the target hex. As the AFV exits the target hex it may once again be targeted by Opportunity Fire. A surviving unit in the target hex, capable of making an AT attack, may conduct a Final Opportunity Fire attack versus the AFV’s rear armor as it exits the target hex, even if the unit is already marked with a Fire marker. A leader may modify a Final Opportunity Fire attack, even if marked with a Fire marker.
Procedure.
The player executing the overrun attack moves the AFV through the target hex and exits into the hex directly opposite the one it entered. The AFV must expend two
Movement Points for the overrun attack, in addition to the cost of entering each hex during the entire overrun move, including moving into the exit hex.
Resolution.
Overrun attacks are resolved on the AP Combat Table, using double the AFVs’ full, combined APFP ratings. An AFV carrying infantry may add the infantry unit(s) APFP rating(s) to its total, including any Light (L) machine guns, grenades, and satchel charges the player wishes to use. Passenger APFP ratings are not doubled; only the AFVs APFP ratings are doubled. Cover modifiers apply to the attack dice roll. The unit may not move further than the exit hex, nor may it change its facing, even if the unit has Movement Points remaining at the conclusion of the overrun.
