Memoir ’44 Combat & Medal Rules Explained
Memoir ’44 combat is resolved with symbol dice, while victory is measured in medals.
Battle dice
Roll the number of dice allowed by the attacking unit’s type, range, terrain and other scenario modifiers.
Hits
A symbol matching the target unit type removes one figure unless a rule says otherwise.
Grenades
Grenade results normally hit any standard unit type.
Flags and retreats
Flag results force the target to retreat the required number of hexes unless it ignores or cannot take the retreat under the applicable rules.
Terrain
Terrain can reduce attack dice, block line of sight or restrict movement.
Medals
Eliminating a full enemy unit awards a medal. Scenarios can also award temporary or permanent objective medals.
Victory
The first player to reach the scenario’s printed medal target wins immediately.
