Exit rules are in effect across the entire Allied player's baseline, for the Axis player. Only full-strength units can yield a medal that way; damaged units can still exit, for no medal gain.

Special Rules

At the start of each turn during which the Allied player is tied for, or has less medals than his Axis opponent, the French player rolls 1 die before playing his Command card. This die roll determines what type of standard British unit arrives to reinforce the French (Infantry = Infantry unit, Armor = Armor unit, Star = Artillery unit). This reinforcement unit is placed on any vacant French baseline hex; it may be ordered normally during that turn. Mark any arriving British reinforcement unit with a badge, to distinguish it from the French units, or use appropriate figures.
Blitz Rules are in effect (Actions 15 - Blitz Rules). Allied Armor may only move 1-2 hexes and battle.
British Commonwealth Forces Command rules (Nations 5 - British Commonwealth Forces) and French Army Command rules (Nations 7 - French Army) are in effect. All units starting on the map are French. Reinforcement units are British.

The 4 bridge hexes form a group of hexes that is a Turn Start Temporary Majority Medal Objective worth 1 medal for whoever has uncontested control of the majority of the group. Uncontested control means having a unit on the objective hex or in a hex adjacent to it, and no enemy units on, or next to, the Objective hex. The Allied player has uncontested control at the start of the battle and thus has a 1 medal head start.

Breakthrough: When playing a Breakthrough Command card ordering On-the-move units, you may choose to call a reinforcement unit instead. Roll dice equal to the number of On-the-move orders, and use the dice roll to determine the type of the unit you may bring in as reinforcements (Infantry = Infantry unit, Armor = Armor unit, Star = Artillery unit). No matter the number of dice rolled, you may only bring 1 unit on the board as reinforcements each turn. You must designate the hex where this unit will appear before making your roll. British reinforcements may enter on any of their vacant baseline hexes or on the Airfield (unless any Airfield hex is occupied by an enemy unit). Mark this reinforcement unit as British to distinguish it from the Gurkha units already deployed or use distinguishing figures. The Japanese reinforcements may enter on any vacant baseline hexes on either side of the board (Japanese or British). A reinforcement unit may not move or battle the turn it enters.
