This is a custom card being designed for my Strike North Campaign Scenario which I will be GMing during the upcoming MaizeCon in Waterloo, IA happening in October 2018. There are plenty of card designs already out there by such esteemed individuals as Sharpe, Thor711 and ObstbfEgon. I'm using them as starting points for my own versions. Some have been left entirely intact and others I have modified to my own purposes.
Looking for feedback. What do you think? Is it balanced in terms of cost? Any concerns or questions?
I am designing a scenario involving the French Foreign Legion fighting near Narvik, Norway in late May 1940. After reading accounts of the amphibious attack on Orneset Beach, I felt that a special French Officer unit card was needed. This is what I came up with. I would use the Australian Officer as a substitute unit. The special ability's name (A Moi! La Legion! = To me! The Legion!) comes directly from a historic battle cry heard during the attack on Hill 457 above Orneset Beach occurring on May 28, 1940. I used the German Angriff SA as a starting point. The ability to make Soldier units move and attack during the assault phase only applies to French Legionnaire Soldiers. Unlike the Angriff SA, it can be applied to disrupted or non-disrupted Legionnaire Soldiers. They don't get +1 on each attack die as the Angriff SA allows. Legionnaire Soldiers already have Steely Resolve 2 and Hand to Hand 12 SA, so I don't think they need anymore help on the attack. The Legionnaire Captain must advance towards the enemy (He is leading the charge) and can also fire his weapon at the enemy.
Legionnaire Captain
Nationality: France
Soldier - Commander
Year available: 1940
Cost: 8
Speed: 1
Defense: 4/4
AI: 6/-/-
AV: 2/-/-
Close Assault 5 - This unit has an attack value of 5 against vehicles in its’ hex.
Commander Abilities: Initiative +2
A Moi! La Legion! - In your assault phase, adjacent French Legionnaire Soldiers can move into an adjacent hex and attack an enemy Soldier or Vehicle in that hex. ((Updated))
On May 28, 1940 Captain de Guittaud of the 1st Battalion, 13th Demi-Brigade rallied his Legionnaire company and launched it against entrenched German forces holding Hill 457 above Orneset Beach. Despite heavy casualties, the attack successfully gained control of the hilltop.
