Wave of Terror Fixes: 

OK folks, here is my one and only attempt to fix this game: 

CRT: Add a Defender Retreat result to the CRT. The Defender Retreats on
a ³6² at 1:1, a 5 or a 6 at 2:1, 4-6 at 3:1, 3-6 at 4:1 and 2-6 at 5:1
and higher. Never retreat on a ³1². Units in Cities can ignore retreat
results. Retreats are mandatory and are 2 hexes and must follow a road
towards the nearest supply source edge hex (1) or towards the nearest
supply source edge hex (but not on a road) (2). Units may not retreat
over unbridged rivers, but may retreat over unbridged streams if that is
the first hex and they are not heavy--in this case stop the retreat
right there after only one hex. Eliminate units unable to retreat, or
units that retreat into a friendly hex which subsequently receives any
result >= to ³1² in combat. Overstacked units may continue to retreat
according to the above priority, never ³displace² uninvolved units.
Attacker may advance after combat into any vacated hex (due to retreat
OR elimination). One hex for Leg units and 2 hexes for all others with
an MP of 5 or 6, although the second hex must be along a road or into a
clear hex only. There is no need to follow ³the path of retreat²,
advances are free in terms of direction after the first hex. Units with
an MA of 7 or higher may advance 3 hexes, but both the second and third
hex must be along a road. Never advance across illegal terrain, and
unbridged streams can only be crossed as the first hex by eligible units
(no heavies).

Combined Commands: Both sides may designate two divisions on each map (4
divisions per side) per DAY, not per Turn that may attack together
(only, not with yet other divisions) without penalty. For example, the
Germans might pick the 2 SS divisions on the North Map on Day 1. They
can jointly attack any hex or hexes each PA phase with no penalty. The
Germans can wait to see a dayıs supply roll before designating. German
player designates first. Thanks to Joe Youst for pointing out the degree
to which both sides employed multi-divison assaults.

Defensive OOS penalty: Any attack vs. a hex that is OOS receives a 1R
shift, unless that hex is a city or a functioning supply dump, or unless
the weather is clear and the defender is allied (air supply, in effect).

Combined Arms: Any attack vs. a clear or town hex (never city, woods,
ridge, cross river or stream or blocked hexside) that contains armor and
infantry (or armored infantry), against a hex that contains infantry
only OR armor only OR artillery only, receives a 1R shift. This rule
will prove useful with the below:

Mobile Assaults: Yes! Mot/Mech units only pay 2mps to conduct these, and
at least one armor or armored infantry must be part of the force. Thus,
american 6-5 infantry can conduct them, but only in conjunction with
tanks or assault gun units. Ditto for German 5-6-5s, etc. They may be
conducted only along a road or into a clear hex (or clear town), never
cross stream or river (regardless of bridges), and never into
forest/ridges, unless along a road (this is not advised, however!).
Never MA in a marsh, regardless of roads. Only two units may move at a
time and conduct an MA, and they must start and end moving together.
They must be from the same division (or be independent, or be designated
Combined Commands, as per above). Resolve MAıs just like PAıs, taking
into account all normal shifting. No air units are ever used, nor is
artillery. If the defenderıs hex is vacated (by retreat OR elimination),
that hex (ONLY) is occupied. Stop moving right there. If it is not, stop
moving in the hex from which the MA was launched. Stacking is in effect
at the moment of MA. *Units that MA may not PA that couplet, regardless
of when the PA phase occurs*. Mark them somehow, or orient them at an
angle for memory.

Optional: make separate Move/Fight or Fight/Move choices by mapsheet, on
a couplet by couplet basis. Units may still only fight once per couplet,
however. If different choices are made for each mapsheet, units may not
leave the mapsheet they began on that couplet--this is necessary to
prevent map-cut goofiness and gamey-horrible stuff.
