Hi
Just picked up SASL after 20 odd years and struggling with a few basic concepts and whilst the questions are really simple I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction as I am grinding to a halt.
I have decided to jump in at the deep end and am playing the PB campaign from 'The Board gamer' magazine.
I have undertaken the setup according to the rules and have a few questions here and then started Go 1 (German Enemy) :
a) given the British setup and the suspect unit setup some suspect enemy units start the game adjacent to my British (friendly) units:
i) is this possible on setup or have I missed something, can units start adjacent (I can't see why not)?
II) Assuming that this is ok at what point to the adjacent suspect enemy units roll for activation - I did this as part of the RPh as the activation rules for advance attitude suspect counters indicate as soon as they are adjacent but not sure if this is correct?
b) The game has enemy units in both Hold and Advance attitude ( I am using VASL so different colour suspect markers for the different attitudes) - when playing and a suspect is turned into a 'real' unit how do you indicate going forward if it is hold/advance attitude for determination of actions? I am using VASL so I assume I can put a label on the unit or leave the original suspect counter with the real unit to remind me?
c) I am on the first move of the enemy go 1 and I am confused as to when I role on the movement action table and which units this roll relates to.
i) do I roll once for all activated infantry units with a move command & suspect units and they all follow that one action.
ii) do I roll once for all activated units so all activated units follow one action and once for all suspect units which all follow that one action..
iii) do I roll for each activated unit (each follows t's own action) but only once for all suspect units (all follow a single action).
iv) do I roll individually for all activated and all suspect units (all follow individual actions)
Any help with these basic points will get me moving again
Thanks in advance
Regards
Simon
