->'''Oops, Sorry Sir:''' {{Deathworld}} veterans resent strangers telling them what to do or threatening their friends, so [[ThePoliticalofficer Commissars]] have a very difficult time maintaining control. They also suffer a disproportionately high number of 'accidents' when serving with Deathworld troops. Roll a D6 for each Commissar before setting them up (roll for models in reserve when they deploy on the table). On a roll of 1, the Commissar has met with an unfortunate accident and cannot be used.
