Hi!
I just tried unsuccessfully to get my friend to play this scenario. And to be honest the underlying issue was somewhat unclear wording in the victory conditions and the Night rules.
To wit, it seems there is no requirement for the CPVA to use HIP or to conceal themselves. As such, there seems to be nothing stopping the CPVA from using no concealment or HIP and aside from the one MMC they have to set up forward putting everyone else back on hex row P. The Rangers thus have to traipse all the way across the play area at night in the snow, get enough prisoners to win (as they are getting no VP from unconcealing or unhiding enemy units) and manage to get all the way back and off the board before the scenario ends.
Are we reading the rules correctly?
