Following the rules discussion on Skis and equipping SMC with them, I have a question on the intent in this scenario.
The scenario gives 3 Ski counters to the Germans, and KGS3.6 says that when the Germans have some Skis, the 4-6-8/2-4-8 are considered Ski Troops, and a number of Crews and SMC are also considered Ski Troops.
Is the intent that these crew/SMC get "free" Ski counters? Or does the German player, if he wants to give Skis to them (or if he wants to Deploy ski-users) have to allocate them from the 3 counters?
(From a pure reading of the rules, it is my understanding that equipping a HS, or Crew, or SMC, with Skis has the same "cost" as with a Squad: one Ski counter; this is in contrast with Horses or Motorcycles, which come in different sizes)
