I Shall Never Fail My Comrades
The 1st Special Service Force is a close-knit organisation. The Devil's Brigade operated independently and relied on each other for support and the companies work closely together. A FSSF Company never has to take a Company Morale Check for being below half strength. They still take Platoon Morale Checks as normal though. However, if the total number of destroyed FSSF Platoons (the Combat platoons) exceeds the number still on the table, the FSSF player must roll a die at the start of each turn. On a roll of 3+ the force fights on, heedless of its losses. On any other roll the remaining FSSF commandos withdraw to conserve their remaining strength and the game ends. If there is no FSSF Company Command teams then this roll is automatically failed.
A FSSF Company must field a Company HQ and three FSSF Rifle Companies. It may also field one Support Platoon from each box shown (Armored, Infantry, etc.).

Deployment
First Special Service Force Platoons operate as seperate platoons, each with their own command team. Although it's component platoons operate as seperate platoons for all other purposes, a First Special Service Force company deploys all at the same time as a single platoon. For example, this means that you treat the entire First Special Service Force company as a single platoon when calculating the number of platoons held in reserve or ambush.
