The of Winter Scenario Questions

[Anonymous]

In the of Winter Scenario it states that only hex rows R through GG are playable. So when the Russians appear along the East edge, is that the east edge of the board, or the east edge starting at hex row R?

Also, the Dug in set-up for the Mark IV given in SSR2---Does the dug in Mark IV use one of the 6 trench counters provided in the German OB, or does the Dug-in status provide the Mark IV it's own Trench counter?

Finally a general question regarding any units entering along the edge of a board--Can units enter in column--as in one stack enters the first hex on the board's edge, moves to the next hex, then another stack enters the hex it just vacated? or are all entering units obliged to enter (more or less) abreast of one another when entering the edge of a board?

Thanks!

My stupid net filter dropped "Ded" from my above post--I have to mispell it --Deceased? Bought the farm? ARRRGH!

Yes: units may enter in "column" from offboard. They simply spend the extra MP/MF it takes to get to the board edge as the "column" moves forward.

Strange behavior from your net filter. Do you live near Columbine ?

R, rest of map doesn't exist.

You don't use Trench for Dug-in: "D9.54 DUG-IN AFV: ...Place a Vehicle Crest counter (from WEST OF ALAMEIN) on the AFV to show its Dug-In status."

Careful here "Column" is a word of art in ASL, and can only be invoked by SSR. I assume you mean can off board units be set-up more than one hex from the entry edge, answer is yes, but must expend MFs to cover the extra hexes before entry.

Much obliged, gentlemen.
