Help needed: can't read SSR 4 on FT 221 Independance Day

[jrv]

A bunch of scenarios got wet on one corner and dried together. Most of the damage was not important, but SSR 4 of FT221, Independance Day, out of From the Cellar 8, I can't be certain what was originally printed. Can someone help fill in the blanks? Thanks.

Is this everything you need?

perfect. Thanks. I thought it was all one SSR but I now see there is a "5" as well.

Very strange rule about the Tobrouks. The Armored cupola rules make the crew inherent. I believe the only way that a crew could become broken while in the Tobrouks is if it were fired upon by fire where the elevation advantage is > the range. Given the boards used, that can't happen.

Likely the designer wanted to reflect the historical Tobrouks' design and any possible rules issues before some rules lawyers got up a head of steam. Better have it covered before issuing to us nit picking nerds.

Side bar. I asked the designer about this RE FL. It seemed unclear to me (not saying it will be you) whether FL were okay. He said NA.

I have played this scenario as Germans, with the above NA. I enjoyed the scenario.

I get the feeling the designer thought that by virtue of being open-topped, the crew would become broken as if they were behind a wall or similar.

If you change your google search term to "Tobruk fortification" you'll probably understand better why the rule was written.

Do the carriers (with no passengers) count for the exit conditions?

Cupolas can setup in trenches?
