Detailed Q&A about SCS Gamemaster - Iron Curtain

  • How do I resolve a combat situation where multiple units are involved?

    In scenarios covering 1962 through 1989, use the modified Combat Results Table specific to Iron Curtain. For combats, first tally the total Attack Strength of all attacking units and compare it to the Defender's Strength. Apply terrain and other modifiers as per the Terrain Effects on Combat Chart included in your scenario materials.

  • What happens if my units run out of supply during a game?

    In post-1945 scenarios, the traditional SCS supply rules are not used, reflecting the abundance of logistical support in the time frame of Iron Curtain games. For 1945 scenarios, however, use the abbreviated supply rules where units out of supply have limited combat effectiveness and movement.

  • Are there any special rules for Air units in the Iron Curtain game?

    Yes, Air units can have roles such as Air Superiority or Strike, indicated on their counters. These roles determine what actions they can take during the Air War phase of a turn. Air units can switch roles at the beginning of each turn, affecting their capabilities for that round.

  • How do I handle reinforcements in the Iron Curtain?

    Reinforcements can be placed at the start of the Movement Phase of a player’s turn. You must decide whether these units will enter as regular reinforcements or use special deployment like Air Drops or Amphibious Landings, if applicable.

  • What do I do during a Run Up Turn?

    During Run Up Turns, which represent pre-combat maneuvering, players move their units, handle reinforcements, and can adjust their strategies based on the evolving geopolitical tension, which is represented by a Tension Level Change Roll at the end of each Run Up Turn.
