Hi

Looking forward to my first solo game to learn the mechanics.

I have the same issues as in the original post at the top of this thread and was wondering if it was actually clarified (see above):

"To clarify, these Actions do cover both types of reserve units (those for companies where the commander starts the game on the table and those reserves where the commander is held off table) don't they"?

Cheers Paul

9.6 RESERVES! p42 "...use all 3D6" scores as your move if in the open, or if on a road roll 4D6" and use all the scores."
Must "use all the scores", or can a Tactical Bound Target be declared?

H,

TB can be declared, as usual.

Redeploy using Combat Patrol

Post by Steve1956 »

A question came up in a recent game.

When a unit has been deployed on the table does it stay on table or can it be withdrawn back into reserve and then redeployed using a combat patrol?
My answer was once on table it stays and moves about in the normal manner.

Any thoughts?

The only thing that seems to behave a little like that is a Recce section. When given a Recce order, they can as an option be replaced by a combat patrol. I'm not certain that recce section can then be redeployed, however... See Page 33 of the rules.

S,

Once on table stays on table.

So once you commit a reserve there's no going back.

"You know, I'm not sure we need those extra troops we were sent, put them back in reserve in case someone else needs them"

Said no officer ever!!
