    Full rules here.

    Specifically, team rules do not apply (obviously); these rules remain in effect:
    • Each Force can use a maximum of 95 points, including Command Cards. Note that this allows 4 minefields. This also means that reserves are 38 points.
    • Each Force may include a maximum of two formations (either 2 from the Force Diagram’s “nation” or 1 Formation from their “nation” and 1 Allied Formation).
    • The chosen Formation(s) can be from a Command Card.
    • If you take an Allied Formation you are not allowed to take an Allied Unit as well.
    • An Allied Formation or Unit must come from the same theatre of war (see table above).
    • A force may have no more than 5 units that contain armoured tank teams with the scout rule and front armour 0, 1, 2, or 3. Transport teams do not count towards this limit. This rule may be revised if Dynamic Points are released.
