Commissar Special Rule for Crossfire
Human Wave led by Commissar
Described in Hit the Dirt (p. 8). The rule is optional but is applicable to Soviets in WWII - in particular between July 1941 and November 1942 - and Communists in the Spanish Civil War.
Commissar stands are represented like PCs, i.e. a single figure on a 15 mm wide x 30 mm deep stand. A Commissar moves and participates in combat as a CC. It may attach or detach itself to or from any Communist BC, CC, or PC at any time during the game. The Commissar provides a +2 modifier in all close combats in which it is involved and provides +3 rally modifier when helping any Communist stands to rally. However, if a 1 is rolled during a rally attempt by a Commissar the failing stand's state becomes one step worse, i.e. a pinned stand becomes suppressed and a suppressed stand becomes killed.
