You Probably Shouldn't, But You Do Anyway

[Actionjick]

I don’t require a unit be temporarily revealed to see a ‘real’ unit. I believe you.

The actions of a Gentleman and a good sportsman.

Tell Actiondebbie flat out that she is wrong about something. Not a frequent occurrence.

Ok, this is interesting. I read a lot of comments about trust and sportsmanship. I thought this was part of the game. I always thought that it was another way to "collect information on the ground". If I am wrong, I need to recall in next gatherings/tournaments.

It’s in the rules but it’s your call. I don’t need to see a ‘boot’ and ya can’t make me.

I mean, I CAN make you: I can drop concealment whenever I want.

Another answer: Taking prisoners

If you want to voluntarily drop concealment, that’s different. Go for it. Besides, I will voluntarily reveal my unit before you have a chance.

Well but if this is not in the rule, that it is even more difficult. Are we simply saying "don't lose concealment because is a dummy"? There are quite a number of effects, in primis, if the OB give one side a number of dummies, what we do? We simply take out the concealment to our units, or we ask to our opponent "is this real?". I am very confused. I guess moving forwards I will ask my opponent how he wants to play with this. Really confused....

Don’t be confused, play it the way you want to. I believe the rule says ‘temporarily reveal’. It doesn’t say I must look. Lol Then I have plausible deniability.

I wouldn't make an opponent show the record of HIP, mines or whatever. Slows things down.

Besides if you feel you have to cheat me to win go right ahead. I'll accept it as a compliment and hopefully kick your ass anyway. YMMV.

I agree about checking the hip units (and about cheating, I play a lot of PBEM and you have to trust fully your opponents…), I normally don’t ask. But I usually play “with” my opponent, and not “against” it. The game should be good time for both, so if there is something “unclear”, prefer to clarify instead of making my opponent upset. Thanks for the info. Always useful to look at this fortm.

Very nice attitude Sir. That's the kind of " opponent " I always enjoyed playing.

You are not wrong, Maurizizo.
As an acceptable alternative to actually temporarily revealing a unit, consider declaring what the unit is.
”I have a 4-6-7 here.” That reduces stack fumbling and speeds play.

 

[Actionjick]

This all depends if you can remember what is HIP, concealed, etc.

" I've got a 4-6-7 under that " ? ". "

Two turns later.

" Damn! I thought I had a 4-6-7 there. "
Probably more of a problem after liberal consumption of refreshments.

Wtf. If that happens just laugh it off. Call your opponent a lightweight jick and get back to enjoying playing the best game around and more refreshments.

Sometimes, if I am feeling especially feisty and manly, I even stand up to pee. Not when she is home of course.
