Hi,

This CG looks like it has a very unique 'Italian campaign' feel. Looking it over a few questions have arisen:
1. Due to the EXC in PBR17.2, same-level LOS from Q20 to Q23 will have a hindrance of +2, right?
2. When units are purchased in Reserve, and an Idle date is generated, must those units set up in Reserve on the next played date? Since Refit after an Idle day skips directly to Step 3.612 it appears so.
3. What happens during Refit to blazes in brush hexes? What if those brush hexes had Entrenchments in them?
4. What is the correct pronunciation of Primosole? My guess, with no literacy at all in Italian, is Pree-moh-so-lay.

Thanks, Joshua

Yes. Two intervening "brush hexsides" : that makes fire from one side of the river to the other not very effective...

You got it right (roll the "r").
Now, there is a problem about the name itself.
I saw "Primasole" more often than "Primosole" on maps and reading about the event.
It seems the true one is PrimOsole - at least, it is what is on the Internet map of the itinerary site I just have looked down.

I think they would be considered retained, but I could be wrong.

Th blaze is removed. The brush (and any Entrenchment) remains.

Primosole is the only correct word.
BTW I live in Sicily, not more far away than 200 Kms from that bridge.

Thanks!
How strange that "a" appeared in the word...
Makes me remember an old Avalon Hill game (D-Day?), where the "Pointe du Hoc" was spelled "Pointe du Hoe"...:rolleyes:
