Depots may not be harmed by Drumfire.

Attacks not requiring Supply Points:

company or battalion sized units
counterattacks on CRT
S.O.S

5-6: may be moved freely

On GT 1, Movement Phase II, British roll 1 die for each cavalry division: 1-2: may not attack; may not move any further east
3-6: may be moved normally (doesn't apply on GT 1 to 0-1-12 battalions or to Canadian Brigade)

On GT 2, Movement Phase I, British roll: 1-2: all divisions move freely 3-4: 1 division must move as quickly as possible to hexes 9 or more west of British front line trenches and remain there 5-6: same as 3-4 except 2 divisions
