311 The first liberation of Rostov-on-Don

I like the "Skiers" specialization!

Note that the stats for the Soviet BA-64 Armoured Car unit are in my consolidated stats spreadsheet on Google Drive. Armed with 1 x DT-29 7.62mm machine gun, its stats are Against Infantry (R = 5, FP = 3), Against Vehicles (R = 3, FP = 2).

How about creating a new specialization token?
Maybe it could become too limiting (since you can't assign 2 specializations to a single unit).
Could we create the "Skier Engineer" specialization?
Or maybe another Operation Card?
Suggestions / Ideas?

I'll stick to your suggestions and will modify the stats accordingly. Thank you.

I think that could be better an operation card for the skiers.

Interesting question, because a specialized skier unit could also be specialized in something else--Recon, Engineer, Medic, etc. My thoughts are still preliminary but one complicating idea that came to mind first is introducing some kind of dual specializations to the game. But that would make things more complicated . . . I don't know, I'll need to think on it more.

One example of "dual specialization" is the  Assault Engineer  but there is the risk of having to create too many variations.

How about using the same method as the "Tank Ace" card?
Adding a "special token" (or a victory objective marker) would allow you to freely use all existing specializations.

Ah, I like that! Simple and elegant and fits within the rest of the game mechanics.

This is my first draft of the new "Skiers" OPS card.
Waiting for your feedback/suggestions.
