Legendary Unit Rules
The cards in this pack are played under the shared Legendary Unit rules (Module 2 of D-Day Dice: War Stories, with the Legends rulebook for the Legends variants). The card texts below are what this promo adds, and they are transcribed as printed.
Legendary Specialists
Armchair General
Four stars. Blue emblem.
Awards cost 2 less Courage for your Unit during Phase 4.
Wargamer
Four stars. Blue emblem. Yellow arrow icon in the lower corner (printed on the card; its meaning is not explained on the card face).
Select an unavailable Legendary RWB Table and keep it: you now have 2 RWB Tables. As long as you have the Wargamer, when you obtain an RWB bonus, choose which RWB table to use.
Rules Lawyer
Four stars. Checkered emblem.
Ignore all Sector attributes (but not Sector requirements). If you suffer Special Damage, automatically lose the Rules Lawyer (in place of normal Special Damage).
Board Gamer
Four stars. Checkered emblem. Yellow arrow icon in the lower corner (printed on the card; its meaning is not explained on the card face).
If you don't re-roll your BLUE dice during Phase 1, gain 2 Soldiers.

Charts
Number 12. Blue emblem.
Roll 1d6 and multiply its result by 2: gain that many Soldiers.

Look at the number of your current Sector (not a Bunker): if it is 7 or less, gain 3 Soldiers; if it is 8 or more, gain 4 Courage.

On your Resource card, look at the odd-numbered resources: adjust these dials up by 1 so that all your resources are even-numbered.
Box Insert
Number 15. Checkered emblem.
Add the number of Specialists, Items & Vehicles in your Unit: this is the number of Soldiers gained. Split them between all Units however you wish.
Player Aid
Number 7. Checkered emblem.
If a Unit has more Stars than you, gain enough Stars to match that Unit's Stars total.

Awards
Platinum Die
Medal-style card, dice emblem.

Medal-style card, pawn emblem.
All Units gain 2d6 Soldiers (each Unit rolls separately).
Legendary RWB Tables
