Whew! After removing v6.6.3 and installing v6.6.3.1, I "found" my missing mapboards. TY!

Ack, sorry Ken. I was referring to the aslcards.

Ken: I hope this is the correct place to mention it ..... For the German PSW 234/2 AC (Puma), MP cost to cross a Hedge is 3+COT & Bog Check. Card for Puma indicates "3+COT". Didn't check other German AC's for this, nor AC's of other nationalities.

The brokie was DM'd. I didn't bother adding the marker when I created the jpg example. Wanted to provide the minimal number of counters necessary for the situation.

I understand. Thanks for the clarification.

I realize that the Smoke'd hex the brokie wants to rout to is also ADJACENT. I just thought that the rout there was OK under A10.5 because the ADJACENT stack became "unKnown" (due to +6 Smoke hindrance) once it routed. So 10.51 trumps 10.5. TY for the clarification. JohnM

See attachment. Broken German (trapped on Level 1) is adjacent to KNEs, and must rout. E3/L1 not allowable. But is F4/L1 legal? It is an ADJACENT hex, but the brokie won't have a LOS to the British MMC in F3/L1 due to +6 hindrance between the two locations. (+3 Smoke in F3, and +3 from F4 (+2...

TY!

Can a mortar and its manning MMC fire at a target in LOS without using its designated spotter? (The spotter would be better employed attacking a different target.) Didn't see that this was previously addressed. I don't think that 9.3 prohibits this, but you never know. TY JohnM

Thanks for the replies.

Hi all. Another Smoke question. My scenario involves full-strength SMOKE in a building hex with 1 1/2 levels (with a stairwell). MMC "A" is at Level 0, and MMC "B" is at Level 1. Does "A" have a LOS to "B" (and vice versa)? I think it doesn't (6+ hindrance drm), but want to confirm. TY JohnM

Thanks JR. The article in Journal #1 says that its hindered as well.

Requesting confirmation that I understand the application of A24.4. In the first example, the US squad in Level 2 of the I4 building hex will have its fire hindered at any hex at either Level 0 or 1. (Not just fire from Level 2 into an adjacent hex.) TY JohnM

TY JRV. Jeff B (the OP of this thread) & I are about to play Acts of Defiance, and I'm trying to come up to speed with usage of the Goliaths.

This thread won't die. Am I correct that a Goliath qualifies for road movement cost (1/2 MP per road hex.) .... It can't BU.
