What am I missing? I'm trying to play BFP-153 Tolvajarvi Tussle. OB calls for Finnish 8-1 and 7-0 leaders. Can't find them under normal Finnish units or new BFP 6.0 extension. Also, on BFP-152 No Vacancy, OB calls for Finnish 2-8 LMG. Again, can't find under normal Finnish units or new BFP 6.0 extension.

For the LMG, I see it under normal Axis O/B. Edit: This is on 6.6.10.

Guys, you can't say things like "I see it here" when you don't include the version number. Simply extending your screen cap to show the title goes a long way.

Your screenshot is probably from 6.6.9 or 6.6.10. The Finnish LMG has the wrong image in 6.7.0. Not sure about 6.7.1b3 off hand.

A very fair point, thanks zgrose. That would be helpful from the requestor as well to isolate issues.

I just looked at both v6.0 of the BFP extension and the Finnish OOB in VASSal 3.7.15; VASL 6.6.8 and I do not see the 8-1 and 7-0 leaders. Another wonky thing happened when I took the 7-1 and hit Battle Harden - the counter disappeared - the 7-1 was gone and there was no other counter. Note it did pick this up in the notes.

The latest Beta and Mannerheim Cross extension does not have any 8-1 or 7-0 leaders.

The FPB counters only point to the 6 hex sides, none of the vertices. I'm using VASSAL 3.7.15 and VASL 6.7.0 on a mac.

Edit to add:

The counters only point in the six directions of the the hex side. I believe they need to point to hex vertices as well as the hex sides.

 

[Gordon]

I don't have MC, what is the implementation supposed to be? They can point at hex sides only, verticies only, or both?

I think they should point to vertices like regular pillboxes.

Just so I ensure that they are implemented correctly, can someone provide a scan of the relevant rules section? PM me if you'd prefer.

Tomorrow I can sent a photo of the Fortified Pillbox player aid. That will explain the concept.

Both sheets are identical, in case someone was wondering if they were different.

HAHA. I didn't even notice.

HAHA. I didn't even notice.

I believe that it allows to use a configuration twice.

 

[sswann]

Same so that both players have a reference card handy,

Version 6.2 of the BFP extension is now up on vasl.info. The FPB counters can now rotate 30 degrees at a time so that the CAs can line up with hexspines.
