Hello, thanks for the answer. The British, though, are described as Scenario Defenders, so are the Germans scenario Attackers by default?
Interesting, per the Index definition of
Scenario Attacker/Defender. "The Scenario Defender and Attacker both exist
or neither does; a scenario cannot have one without having the other. In scenarios where neither exists, the use of rules pertaining specifically to their respective roles
is not allowed: EX..EX..
[Night: E1.2]..EX."
So, looking at the scenario card, I see an SSR does indeed label the Brits as Scenario Defender (E1.2). This may be a candidate for either errata or at least clarification as it seems the Germans do not fulfill the prequisites for being a Scenario Attacker, thus the Brits would not qualify as being labelled Scenario Defender on their own, thus the setup specs of E1.2 would not be allowed.
Considering it was published many moons ago, and MMP continues to fine-tune the use of definitive
ASL-ese when wording VC and SSRs, I am going to go out on a limb and guess that neither side was meant to be, by definition, the SA/SD. IMO, the SSR was a poorly worded (with hindsight) one, and likely meant "Although not actually the Scenario Defender, the British are allowed to set-up according to E1.2". If this was not the intent, I would say it is a strong candidate for an errata.
