This is such an elementary question, but we seem to debate this every single game.
Defense has a 18 concealment markers. Attacker sets up off-board for turn 1. In the game setup phase, which scenario is correct?
Scenario A (I'm pretty sure this is wrong, and way too generous to the Defender):
1: Defender sets up units (non-?) and up to hexes of lone ? counters (with two ? apiece)
2: Defender then conceals all other pieces, because Attacker is off board.
3: Defender presents the board to Attacker, and game starts.
Scenario B:
1: Defender sets up units and (non-?) and up to hexes of lone ? counters (with two ? apiece). However, if 9-hexes of ? are used, it's going to be really obvious where the dummies are on Turn-1.
2: Defender Presents the board to Attacker (top unit is visible in all hexes)
3: Defender places ? on all hexes that don't already have ? on top.
4: Game starts.
In Scenario B, for all practical purposes, the Defender is going to have fewer than 9 dummy stacks.
Also, can hexes set up so that a ? is on bottom, and a real unit on top? Since B2 does not allow for inspection, B3 would conceal the stack and on the Defender turn-one, the dummy could move out. This would potentially make all 18x? potential dummies on the board.
For reference, we're playing A17.
Thanks.
