A2.9 Deployment at Setup

[RaphaelC]

Hello All,

In ASL 22 Kurhaus Clash the Americans have 5x 6-6-7 and 12 6-6-6 squads.

For deployment at setup purposes does each type round up individually?

Many Thanks,

Raphael

No. All taken together. Not counting Crews except if Japanese Crews.

However, if you have reinforcements entering, you can deploy 10% FRU of those reinforcements.

So if all set up on board or enter together, it would be 17 squad equivalents in your case which means you can deploy 2 squads into 4 HS.

Many Thanks,

So, with only two squads available to deploy, would it also be limited to just one of each type?

You can just choose - you could end up deploying 2 of your 6-6-7 if you wanted.

You can select any squad type you please.

On top of that, you can attempt to deploy more units in your (own) Rally Phase when stacked with a leader. So before your first move, you might have more deployed units.

Also note that if you take Prisoners during the game, the squad(s) accepting any of them may automatically deploy without the requirement of leader presence.

There is no exception for Japanese crews. However they count for the 10% HIP allotment.

I stand corrected. I knew it was something they counted for as opposed to other nationalities.

Note also, if you are entering from offboard, you can attempt leader-led deployment in the Rally Phase before you enter those units.

I had two ASLOK games where the opposing side deployed more than allowed. And of course it is only discovered in the midst of the game, which is not straightforward to repair. So please deploy with moderation

We just did a playtest where my opponent deployed more than allowed. Sorry about that. People may want to avoid products published in the next few years, because at least one of them will have a scenario that was playtested wrong.

My opponent also said an armor leader can deploy a tank into two halftracks. I didn't question it at the time, but now I wonder if that is right.

As long as he did not use "HT" when referring to a halftrack, such a move is ok in my book.

Only if it deploys into two SPW251/16

But maybe it was playtested using the IIFT with CTC. That would alleviate for the error.

Of course it was playtested using the IIFT and the CTC.

Good boy!

And no point deploying into 2x SdKfz251/16's
That just means the first DR when they fire will be an "11" followed by another "11" so they are back to being SdKfz201/1's without any room for troops:facepalm:
