ESG SSR Turn-based SAN?

[Jeff Waldon]

Playing ESG # 53. SSR 3. states “Japanese snipers became more and more active during the battle. To reflect this, Japanese SAN is equal to the player turn.”

Question: What is the recommendation for Turn 8? SAN 7 or 8?

 

[Binchois]

Good question! By rule, SAN can never rise above 7:

A14.1 SNIPER ACTIVATION NUMBER (SAN): Each side's SAN is given in brackets in its scenario OB. A SAN is never > 7, or subject to increase [EXC: at Night (E1.76); DYO Seaborne Assault (G14.261)].​

​

Moreover, an 8 SAN is less effective than a 7 SAN, so I would presume SAN should remain at 7 on Turn 8.

It goes to eleven.
