C. Common Charts and Tables

C.1 Sequence of Play

Random Events Phase	one player rolls on Random Events Table, implement result, see who controls OAS (1-3=FLN)
Reinforcement Phase	Both sides accrue and spend AP or PSL to build, convert, mobilize, activate units/ Border Zone. Government player goes first. OAS activates if Government PSL =< 30.
Deployment Phase	Government changes Division modes, puts mobile units in PTL box of same area, or in OPS box of any area in Algeria. FLN moves units from UG to OPS box of same area (may deploy 1 Cadre to France).
Operations Phase	FLN chooses whether to act, or let Government act. Either player may pass. Consecutive Passes end the phase. Players' PSLs may be adjusted during this Phase, depending on events.
Turn Interphase
Control/Depreciation Segment: Determine Controlled and Contested areas. Roll for Depreciation of unspent AP and against maximum Air Points and Helo Points. Reset Air/Helo Available markers to maximum points. Recovery Segment: Neutralized units and Terrorized areas roll to recover. Redeployment Segment: Government mobile units replaced in OPS box of same area; FLN units replaced in UG box. Final PSL Adjustment Segment: Check for Coup d'etat; adjust Political Support Levels as required. Control both sides sum up Control Points in each area. 3 Control Points for each FLN Front or Dispersed mode Division, 1 for each other unit. Neutralized units don't count. If one side has 2x or more Points than the other, then it gets Control: place Control marker. If more but less than 2x as many, take the difference and both sides try to score less than or equal to this # on 1d6. If one player makes it he gets Control. If nether or both do, area is Contested.

C.2 Random Events Table

(roll 1d6 twice in succession)

11-26	No event. Lucky you.
31-33	FLN Foreign Arms shipment. The FLN player adds 2d6 AP, minus the current number of Naval Points.
34-36	Jealousy and Paranoia. FLN units may not Move across wilaya borders this turn only (they may move across international borders).
41-42	Elections in France. Government player rolls on the Coup Table (no DRM) and adds or subtracts the number of PSP indicated: no units are mobilized or removed.
43-44	UN Debates Algerian Independence. Player with higher PSL raises FLN or lowers Government PSL by 1d6.
45-46	FLN Factional Purge. The Government player chooses one wilaya and rolls 1d6, neutralizing that number of FLN units there (the FLN player's choice which ones).
51-54	Morocco and Tunisia Gain Independence. Raise both FLN and Government PSL by 2d6; FLN player may now Build/Convert units in these two countries as if a Front were there and Government may begin to mobilize the Border Zone. See 11.22. If this event is rolled again, or if playing the 1958 or 1960 scenarios, FLN player instead rolls on the Mission Success Table (no DRM) and gets that number of AP (represents infiltration of small numbers of weapons and troops through the borders).
55-56	NATO pressures France to boost European defense. The Government player rolls 1d6 and must remove that number of French Army brigades (a division counts as three brigades) from the map. The units may be re-mobilized at least one turn later.
61-62	Suez Crisis. The Government player must remove 1d6 elite units from the map, up to the number actually available: they will return in the Reinforcement Phase of the next turn automatically - they do not need to be mobilized again but do need to be activated. Treat as "No Event" if rolled again, or playing 1958 or 1960 scenarios.
63-64	Amnesty. The French government offers "the peace of the brave" to FLN rebels. All Government Civil Affairs or Suppression missions get a +1 DRM this turn.
65-66	Jean-Paul Sartre writes article condemning the war. Reduce Government PSL by 1 PSP.

C.3 Combat Results Table

Die Roll	1	2-4	5-8	9-15	16-24	25-36+

6	1	2	3	5	8	12

Total Firepower Ratings involved (+1d6 for each Air Point used: no Air Points in Urban areas) read across to correct column, and roll 1d6. Result is the number of 'hits' on enemy units. Each 'hit' on Government units is -1 PSP to the Government PSL or +1 to the FLN PSL: each 'hit' on FLN units eliminates one Cadre or Band, or reduces a Front to a Cadre, or reduces a Failek to a Band (FLN player chooses how to distribute his losses). Excess "hits" on FLN units are not implemented. Remaining involved units of the side that received the largest number of 'hits' (according to the table, whether implemented or not) are Neutralized (no one is neutralized if equal results). When units fire at half Firepower Rating, round fractions up.

C.4 Depreciation Table (10.11)

Roll 1d6. DRM: -1 for PSL <= 30, +1 for PSL => 70.
If (roll) <= Loss Number; then deduct the indicated numer of Points

C.7 Unit Identification Chart

Mobile units have their Evasion (for FLN) or Contact (for Government) rating printed to the left of the symbol box, while the Firepower rating is printed underneath the symbol box. Static units have one number, which is their Firepower and Contact or Evasion rating, printed underneath their icon.

Unit	Colour
FLN	green
French Army regular	light blue
French Army elite	light red
Algerian or Police	light beige [turquoise]
game markers	white

Unit	Type
box with cross or "L"	Infantry (I = Band, II = Failek, X = brigade, XX = division)

empty box	Dispersed mode division
box with megaphone	Cadre (mobile unit)

C.8 Scenarios

Players begin by selecting a scenario. They then place units and set markers as required by the scenario, Government player first. Units may set up in any areas of the wilaya indicated (remember Urban areas are part of wilayas), Divisions may set up in either mode, Police units set up in PTL boxes. Play then begins with the Random Event Phase of Turn 1. All areas are considered to be Contested until the Turn Interphase of the first turn: the FLN player begins with 2d6 AP as a compensation.
