Round 2 ASL 140 - SSR 8 Clarification

SSR 8 says:


Does this mean that there is no requirement to draw a second card should there be no known enemy units in or adjacent to the placement hex in LOS of the radio operator?
Vic Provost is the Designer so if he is available to chime in on this ...
I believe it is because the extra chit draw is part of the Battery Access and the SSR says that on Turn 1 Battery Access is automatic

There's no such rule anyway. Only an extra chit draw if there IS an enemy (non-HIP) unit adjacent to the SR (in this case the PRH) and it is unknown to the observer.

When you place the AR in the pre-reg. hex and there are unknown (to the Observer) in/adjacent-to it, I believe an extra chit draw is needed. The SSR only grant automatic access for the first chit draw.
