Q 1. The German OOB displays 5-4-8 and 4-4-7 SS counters, but only makes passing reference to ABTF in one of the SSRs. Just to be certain: is it the intent that the 5-48 and 4-4-7 counters be "SS", with the usual effects (increased broken morale, etc.)?
The reason this needs to be clarified (and many 3rd-party scenario designers forget this) is that the 5-4-8 and 4-4-7 SS counters do not exist in the general ASL core system, and there are no rules for them. The counters and rules for them only come with ABTF. The core rules recognise the existence of only 3 types of SS squad: 4-6-8, 6-5-8, and 8-3-8. For anything else, you need an SSR (even if the SSR is only "see ABTF R6.0" or something similar).
Q 2. Not so much a scenario question as a general question about the BFP R-C overlay. Hexes P1 & T1 contain combined building and roads. The roads are clearly not "narrow streets" and don't seem to be covered by ITR HBR 10 (although that would seem to be the logical place to put such a rule). The only core rule that discusses combined building & road hexes is the Marketplace (B23.73) which hardly seems likely here. If the intent is to use the building-road rule from PB (Q5.5) -- which seems logical -- this should be stated explicitly somewhere.
