Right, if the target is illuminated NVR doesn't matter.

If you can find it, Microsoft's free "Image Composite Editor" easily puts together overlapping pieces of scanned maps.

Thank you, I never knew of that feature! I experimented and in VASL 6.7.1-beta2 + VASSAL 3.7.16 I have to use that counter's "Show" function (right click to select and to see the shortcut). I have to "Show" whenever I change the NVR; it's as if changing the distance replaces the NVR counter with...

That means you can place a FL if you attack an armored vehicle with the MG, making TH and TK DRs. As others have pointed out, the key is "SW", on a ½” counter.

No, a SMC in a Location receiving a K/# only suffers the CR effect (that is, a wound dr), whether it's alone or with other units. There's Q&A: A7.302 If a SMC is wounded by a K/# result, must he also take the resulting MC? A. No (e.g., see the A.9 example). [An93b; An96]

A21.22 describes what a SMC or multiple SMC can do when manning a vehicle.

I asked for concealed, not hidden.

I don't see the linking line if my opponent links a concealed unit to its acquisition. Could this be added as Guns often remain concealed when firing, and I've grown so used to the nice linking line feature that its absence is jarring. :-D

I'm looking for a way to make that easy to do for the non-programmer. @zgrose, you and I could easily write batch files/shell scripts, but many users can't.

Maybe to prevent problems with immobilized tanks outside of other setup areas? How can it be "escape" into a setup area, and turning it into a wreck it may have been too harsh?

That is what this would be doing. I'd have to investigate how VASSAL determines the .vmod from the information in the .vsav/.vlog file. The goal is to have something that allows you to easily switch preferences. Maybe you want to play some games with one set of extensions (say SASL features)...

Yes, I know, but would you trust a compiled program from me? I wouldn't; I'd want to be able to see the source. I've read things like Ken Thompson's "Reflections on Trusting Trust" and Ross Anderson's "Security Engineering" and have a touch of a security professional's extreme wariness.

I was thinking about doing something like that. It'd be a Python program you'd run to invoke VASSAL with the right .vmod and logfile arguments. I'd also add the ability to have unique randomly-generated passwords so in a tournament you could give out the password so the TD could verify HIP and...

The key word in that rule is "may"; nothing that I see requires the hero to operate the MG alone. If the 9-2 is one of those two, it loses it leadership DRM (A9.12), so as @von Marwitz wrote, the best option would be to have the hero operate the MG alone and the 9-2 to direct. Unless of coure...

I played this mini-CG in the last year. I lost 269 as the British because I had a slew of malfunctions. Here are some ideas from what I remember. Make sure your armor is out of LOS from everywhere the 88L could set up! It's not hard with the Broken Terrain Broken Terrain makes lots of bog...

Yes, F.3 says "The point value of units/equipment other than Guns and vehicles are not changed by the use of DVP." DVP is just "normal VP plus more for vehicles/Guns".

D3.7 says "any vehicle", not limited to AFVs. D5.341 adds recall of AFVs be various means, but I think the disabled MA/SA Recall from D3.7 applies to any vehicle. Am I missing some other rule?

In KGP CG I, my Americans have a few AAMG-armed Jeeps, which I abandoned, removed, and passed on to squads. Then I re-entered the crews and am using the Jeeps to threaten dashes into the German rear to seize LVP. The most effective SW-removing scenario I played is SP26 Wollersheim!. The...

I looked it up before I answered. No, the jeep would not be recalled. The last sentence of D3.7 has "unless that vehicle has Passenger/Towing capability.", which the jeep does. A German Kfz 4 would be recalled, but then it lacks the US MAVN O so it would have to be Abandoned and Scrounged...

This is the 21st century -- I'm waiting for hovercycles or anti-grav bicycles! :-)
