Some Schwerpunkt scenarios setup questions....

SP138 Lacking Coordination
The Germans get OBA from Turn 3 directed by an offboard observer. Is the observers hex chosen before British setup, after British setup or on turn3?

According to vehicle notes the SPW251/9 has a 4FP CMG that becomes available from 9/44 onwards. The scenario is in 10/44. It doesn't say optional, it says available...but the scenario card just says SPW251 251/9s...does it or doesn't it?

EDIT: D'oh, it isn't optional armament, it just automatically gets it. Deleted wrong answer.

If there's no SSR that says anything different, offboard observers are set up in the pre-game phase, before anyone sets up (see the ASOP). The fact that the observer can't do anything for a few turns is irrelevant.

It's not optional, so it's there. The scenario meets the date requirement so the AAMG exists. The scenario card doesn't need to refer to it to make that happen.
