The action in Memoir '44 is centered around the concept of a Unit, or group of identical figures, grouped on a single Terrain hex.
There are three basic unit types in the game: Infantry, Armor and Artillery.
Depending on the scale of the scenario in play, a unit will represent an entire battalion, a single company, or even a single platoon.

Standard Units
The game includes a summary card making it easy to reference the individual movement and combat capabilities of each unit type.
In addition to moving and battling, some units can employ special WWII tactics, such as taking ground or attempting an armor overrun.

Special Units
In addition to regular troops, a number of Special Forces and other Elite units will appear in some scenarios, permitting greater historical accuracy and ever renewed gaming challenges. These elite troops have their own summary card as well.
Here is a quick look at the Special Forces, French Resistance and Elite Armor units featured in Memoir '44. Additional units (such as the paratroopers jumping on Sainte-Mère-Eglise) are sometimes detailed in the scenarios.
