ASL for Fun - Attack on Wiltz 8 (HIP Guns)

[BraveDave]

SSR 8(a) says “Each gun may set up using HIP (A12.34). [EXC. each gun does not automatically set up Emplaced; the crew must make an Entrenching Attempt to emplace their gun (C11.2-.3). Place a Non-Emplaced Gun counter (from CdG) on a gun that fails the emplacement attempt.];”

1) Must a gun make a successful Entrenching Attempt in order to set up HIP?

2) If the gun fails the attempt, can the owner note such on a side record and place the Non-Emplaced Gun counter on the gun after it has fired?

 

[George Kelln]

No, guns may set up using HIP. However, it must make an entrenching attempt to set up emplaced. See the concealment loss table for the difference between a HIP Gun not emplaced and a HIP gun emplaced.

Use a Non-Emplaced Counter from Croix de Guerre
