We have heard from you gaming customers that have asked for markers that are better than cardboard, and smaller than other companies that produce markers, so here they are. Each marker is cut on ivory acrylic, laser etched design, filled in with acrylic black paint and heat cured. They are durable, bright, and easy to handle.
Option 1
Cost: +1 Upgrade any existing unit
Movement: Standard
Attack: +1 (D6), +2 (D12), +3 (D20)
Defense: Standard
Transport Class: Standard
Any German ground or air unit can be upgraded to an Afrika Korp unit for 1 IPC each, or a built from scratch. In either case the Afrika Korp unit must be built or converted in a factory location. Purchasing the upgrade is done during the Purchase Units Phase, but the actual conversion does not take effect until the Place New Units Phase. The upgrade does not count as a purchased unit when dealing with minor factories. Once converted to Afrika Korp the unit remains thus until it has been destroyed.
Afrika Korp units receive a combat bonus during the first cycle of combat when attacking. This combat bonus is only effective on the continent of Africa. Movement and Defense are unaffected by the upgrade.
Option 2, Supply Rules
Cost: 2-Upgrade any existing unit
Any German ground or air unit can be upgraded to an Afrika Korp unit for 2 IPC each, or a built from scratch. In either case the Afrika Korp unit must be built or converted in a factory location. Purchasing the upgrade is done during the Purchase Units Phase, but the actual conversion does not take effect until the Place New Units Phase. The upgrade does not count as a purchased unit when dealing with minor factories. Once converted to Afrika Korp the unit remains thus until it has been destroyed.
When using supply rules Afrika Korp units may attack, defend, and move normally for up to 2 rounds when cut off from supplies.
