Re: Company cmdr & FO
Hi Dirk,
I don’t think so. An FO or Medic are only activated when their card is drawn as far as I can see. A Company Commander, like any other Big Man, can only activate a squad, weapons team or vehicle At the cost of 1 CI.
However, I can see an argument for allowing him to do so at the cost of a CI if he’s adjacent to the FO or Medic.

Hi,
In the scenario it says that the FO is attached to the CO, which raised our question. So they start on the same blind, but when spotted or reveiled they start acting as 2 different entities only activating on their own card?

Re: Company cmdr & FO
You would normally expect the FO to stick close to the Company Commander since he is the Senior Big Man on the field.
Thinking about it a little more you could use the rule in the final bullet point in section 4.1.1 on page 11 to allow the Company CO to use all his CIs to activate the FO to take his turn out of the usual card sequence. Effectively treating the FO as a subordinate Big Man. That would strike a reasonable balance.
