H'mm. There are exactly four building hexes adjacent to a bridge entrance or exit. If the Russian is allowed to pick exactly two of these, it can definitely shut down two of the four canal bridge crossings for any vehicle other than a fully tracked AFV. The strategy of the Russian is to block...

I think you are right. I knew this but was just wanting a 2nd opinion.

Thanks. The text of SSR7 you show is in later editions of BV. The same info (errata) is available at the MMP website, indexed as scenario errata. For me, a gully hex has at least two "ground levels". One is in the depression and one at the crest levels. I think if a hex is rubbled at ground...

I think now this is right. Either 6 or 0 hexes. Otherwise the text would/should be "may pick up to 6 hexes", or similar.

Looking over ASL 8 The Fugitives (one of my favorites, given its replayability, and the general genre of desperation). I just want to check a few points about SSR 7 and rubble placement. (There is scenario errata but it does not cover these questions.) SSR 7 says the Russian may pick any 6...

FWIW, nothing at all that is halved in ASL is rounded up unless the rules specifically state so. It is simply halved.

At least I am not the only person who noticed this. Though the only parts not (currently) relevant to Doomed Battalions are the "late-war" SS. Early war presummably would have seen plenty of railroads, rail cars and debris. I can foresee potential scenarios involving independent Greeks or...

With that map (whether or not it is used, and/or if other maps are used), and these recent comments, I am reminded of the earlier "Cat and Mouse" system of ASL scenarios covering Anzio.

Anyone thought of an ocean overlay for board 39 that covers most if not all of the roads, though perhaps adding a single printed small pier, and/or sand bar or reef butting out? Or, an ETO forest overlay for same board that again covers most of the roads, replacing them with more forests...

Or even boards with not a single complete road. Just paths, etc.

LV Hindrances (E3.1), with the exception of Winter Camoflauge, do not negate FFMO and therefore do not prevent loss of concealment.

Unless it's been changed, Partisan SMC are not elite (nor are they Inexperienced), same as partisan MMC. It's in A25.24.

I always played this as if the "IFT" in A7.8 was not there; and that it is superfluous. I think errata is needed.

Thanks for everyone's patience. One more idea. Geo board corners could also be part of a road network. Few are. The closest examples of this appear to be Deluxe board A, top left corner, and Deluxe board K, lower left corner. Board 13a tries to do something like this, also, but instead of at a...

Much of chapter A, and most of chapter B, was written before chapters C, D, E, etc. were written. This was over many years and apparently by many different people. Chapter A needs a clean up/polishing, for clarity and to avoid confusion. Actually the whole system needs a general editor. But...

This is actually a very intesting point, that might be developed: some terrain actually has, or may have, a "grain". Vineyards, "grain", and "olive grove". are examples. Certainly there is an existing rule for the grain of a "orchard-road" hex. It might open up ideas for SSRs, and even new...

If there is this much interest in corn then there is interest in rural East Front scenarios. At least the southern half thereof.

I don't see how this could be implemented; it goes against the concealment gain/loss rules (A12.121). There is no concealement gain possibility, if in LOS, within 16 hexes, regardless of the terrain. But, if your SSR designates Russians (for any reasons) as stealthy, they would get a -1 drm to...

I don't think it is related. Klas answered this question in the post immediately preceeding yours.
