9 UP FROT Flow Charts v 1.0 By Richard Irving Up Front is a GRET game! Possibly my all-time favorite. Unfortunately it can be difficult to learn and grasp some of the processes. These flow charts are to aid in performing various procedures in Up Front. Printing: I recommend printing these pages back to back as follows: P1/P2, P3/P4, P5/P6, P7/P8 in color (Some of the symbols are color coded indicating when going a different page.)

Rifle, MP, MG, flamethrower, TR vs. infantry, etc. Page 2: Ordnance ttacks by infantry & FV's: Mortars, LTW, Main gun of FV, TR vs. FV, etc. Page 3: Fire/Ordnance Resolution on each man of infantry group.
