SS2: The Italians setup as if the Greeks enter from offmap.
Does this give them the right to 'setup' bore-sighted locations?

... even if in ASL world "what generally happens" should be not enough for rule application purposes.Yeah, what he said.![]()
I agree,I feel scenario attacker and scenario defender are one of the most common misunderstandings in the game.
If you are a scenario defender then you may bore sight unless this is SSR'd out.
Is how i intended that SSR...If one side sets up as if the other enters from offboard, the condition for "Scenario Defender" per the index is now met, AND allows the concealment setup per A12.12.

Actually the only terrain converted to Open Ground during ground snow is marsh/mudflats. Brush is still brush and is therefore still concealment terrain.Yeah, what you said is exactly what we think about that scenarios. Seem that the greeks have the hard part of the work in the very beginning! ;-)
But at least on the south the greeks have a relative short way for the VP hex. He can only AM or Prep and then simply APh. (to avoid fire at -2)
Don't run out of smoke early is also important.
Just a side question. In ground snow, brush is considered open ground, that's mean that an italian gun cannot be setup HIP in a "now openground" brush hex?
Thanks again.
no smart Italian defender will leave a valuable target to such a killer stack, nor a setup location high enough exists to place it and gain a los to the level 4 hill (apart the ridge line, where the Italians do not have to setup more than a crew+LMG). Besides, two Italians mortars have S8, and the defender will smoke this killer stack if necessary.(...)Another key factor is the 9-2 leader that if stacked with 4xmmg can broke the italian strongpoint.
I played it only once, but it's my opinion too.Hi ya-
A very tough scenario on the Greeks I would think, granted there are lots of Greeks with a raised broken morel, but even that was not enough to to overcome the terrain and Italian strong points on map.
