Reading the thread on foxholes in the main forum I was surprised when players kept referring to not placing foxholes which were in the scenario OOB. I have always played that you had to use everything in your OOB except for ? Counters which are optional under A12.11.
I can find no rule that allows the withholding of units in an OOB in the rulebook, but a post in the foxhole thread referred to the following “Unofficial Q and A”:
A2.5 & A26.221 Are units that fail to enter "eliminated" for purposes of CVP, or VC in general?
A. Both. [Letter86]
A2.9 A side is given a number of "?" counters to use a dummies, etc. Do they all have to be used?
A. Neither Dummies, nor any other unit/SW/Gun, in an OOB need be used-however any such not used are considered Eliminated for CVP (and all other) purposes. [Letter84]
I have two questions. First what does [Letter86] and [Letter84] refer to? Second how much authority do such “Unofficial Q and A” hold?
The idea that you can withhold set up units seems to be inconsistent with A2.5 which states that all forces scheduled to arrive on a certain turn must enter the mapboard on that turn. Set up forces are optional, but reinforcements are not?
