Chapter O - Questions and Answers

(and Some Official Errata from Multiman Publishing)

O1.2 What is the cost for a fully-tracked AFV to enter a roofless Factory hex through a Vehicle-sized entrance?

A. One-quarter of its MP. {96}

O5.33 Does Breaching a Factory Interior Wall that is a hexside of a Fortified Building Location permit entrance of that Fortified Building Location just as if the latter itself had been Breached?

A. Yes--but the effects given in O5.331 also apply. {96}

O5.33 When Breaching a Factory Interior Wall, do units in the target Location receive TEM as if the fire originated from outside (+3, or +4 if Fortified) or inside (+1, +2 if roofless or Fortified, +3 if both) the Factory?

A. Inside. {97}

O10.45 May a MOL-Projector "fire smoke" at a vertex just to avoid the Case Q (TEM) TH DRM?

A. No--it can fire at a vertex only to attack a Bypassing unit.{96}

O11.4 CG5 Is Bore Sighting allowed for MG in RB CG?

A. No. {97}

O11.4 SSR CG10 When Retaining an OBA module, is its draw pile Retained as is?

A. No, it is restored to the number of black and red chits it had at the start of the previous scenario. {96}

O11.4 SSR CG10 If an OBA module is retained but currently has no radio or field phone, may the player

choose one to replace it?

A. Yes--but choosing a radio to replace a field phone (or vice-versa) is NA. {96}

O11.4 SSR CG10 May a Retained field-phone/Offboard-Observer/Pre-Registered-Hex be moved to a new legal Location for the next CG scenario?

A. Yes. {96}

O11.6057 If a German Perimeter Area contains no map-edge hex along the north/west edge of the map,

is that Perimeter Area a Pocket?

A. Yes, even if it does contain >= one map-edge hex along the east/south edge. Conversely, the same is true of a Russian Perimeter Area that contains no map-edge hex along the east/south edge. {96}

O11.617 Do the German 8-3-8 have the same ELR as the other German forces? If they fail their ELR, are they Reduced to two HS or a 4-3-6?

A. No, their ELR is always 5. Two half-squads. {97}

O11.619 & O11.6205 Do countermix limits apply to RG purchases?

A. No. Players should mutually agree on the substitution of other types for those lacking if they do not have enough counters between them. {96}

O11.6194(b) May units/Equipment use HIP while in Reserve?

A. No. {96}

O11.6194(b) Does a Stuka cause activation of a Reserve unit by being within 3 hexes of it? Are Stukas free to attack Reserve units?

A. No, it must be within 1 hex (E.5). Yes. {J1}

Rule O11.6194

This rules states that Reserves must setup at "ground" level. Does this mean a Reserve cannot setup in a gully hex at all since it's "below" ground level?

No; a gully is at ground level; it is usually below level 0 but that does

not make it below ground level.

If a Reserve can set up in a gully hex, may it setup in crest status, or must it setup IN the gully?

IN the gully is the ground level.

O11.6194b (Reserve Cloaking Counters)

May reserve cloaking counters setup in non-concealment terrain?

Yes.

O11.6206 - Commissars

It is the first day of a Red Barricades CG. When deciding how many commisars the Russian player can get, do the at start forces count toward Purchased Infantry RGs or only the actual purchased Infantry RGs? In other words, can I trade in 3 leaders (two at start infantry RGs and one purchased) for commisars or only one?

Three leaders (in your fictional example); consider the OB-given RG to have been "purchased" for this purpose.

Rule: A 5.5, O11.621

1) Are infantry crews and SMC considered as equivalents in the total

number

of on board squads for the maximum of 10% FRU of squads that may set up

HIP in a day scenario?

2) Do SMC and infantry crews (that are not manning HIP guns) count as

equivalents towards the maximum number of squads that may be HIP?

Yes.

Yes.

Rule: O11.621

Question: Is the FPP cost of a HIP SMC who sets up in the same Location with a HIP MMC zero (i.e., free)?  Or is it one?

No. It is one.

O11.621 Does a HIP Set DC Fortification purchase come with a DC?

A. No; see footnote 9. {J1}

O11.6234 As the Scenario Attacker, may the Russians use Cloaking for onboard as well as offboard units? How would the number of Cloaking counters be determined?

A. Yes. One per squad-equivalent in that side's at-start OB. {96}

O11.6243 May a MMC relieve Ammunition Shortage status for more than one isolated unit per turn?

A. No. {97}

Red Barricades SSR2 (June 2001)

RB SSR2 states that "A unit may use sewer movement to cross from one side of a gully to the other only if it ends its MPh in the Sewer Location of a gully-manhole hex. Does this restriction also include Culverts (ex. D38), as they "represent a subterranian gully" (O7.1),

No.
 

or may a unit use Sewer Movement from D37 directly to D39?

Yes.
