The Germans are attacking and have the first turn. The Soviets don’t roll any Command Dice this turn but can use opportunity fire, end or turn fire, and Staff Orders.
Determine the Number of First Turn Command Dice
The Germans roll their Command Dice with a 4+ TN. Any dice that roll a 3+ or lower are discarded this turn.
The Germans only roll two successes: the other six dice are discarded. The Germans have two Command Dice this turn. It looks like the opening German attack will not be as effective as hoped.
German Command Dice Roll
Command Failure!
The 1 is handed over to the Soviets to use as a Wild Dice.
German Command Pulse
As the Germans are attacking, they have the first Command Pulse despite having rolled a Command Failure.
The Germans reveal their recon SdKFz 234/2 Puma and make a spotting attempt against the Soviet Blind on the Hill. The recon unit spots with -1 TN giving them a 3+ TN. Success! The Blind is revealed as a Dummy and is removed.
Soviet Command Pulse
The Soviets would like to store their Wild Dice as a Staff Order, but they are unable to as they already have their maximum (equal to their five Command Dice).
The Soviets use the Wild Dice to make a spotting roll with their recon infantry unit against the German Blind on the hill. Success! The Blind is revealed as a Dummy and is removed.
