After a 6 month ASL hiatus we played Across the Wire yesterday. We both got HL recently, I hadn't played a desert scenario since code of Bushido came out (30+ years ago) and my opponent has never played them.
Needless to say we hit a couple of snags, not all desert related.
1) non Platoon movement and radioless AFV's
The Italians are allowed platoon movement. I assume that is because so the line off vehicles gets perfect dust cover.
How does that affect the radioless AFVs?
Even if they are next to each other at the start of the movement phase, they are not in a platoon. So they would have to roll an NTC each friendly MPh if they wanted to move?
2) Armor leaders
The armor leaders can only modify the MA and overruns. With ROF or multiple OVRs. This could be applied several times.
The AL cannot modify the rear MG.
3) British AFV OVRs.
These would attack on the 2 IFT column. AFV with ATR MA. RMG does not count.
They'd get -1 for the AL but suffer light dust and possible vehicular dust?
4) Veh Dust
What happens when a vehicle with Veh Dust gets wrecked does the dust get removed immediately?
5) If a vehicle that is marked with an AQ marker moves behind +6 dust does the AQ get removed? Can the vehicle owner ask for a loss check each time the +6 drm is likely?
