Albany December 2011 TD Communications, Scenarios, Etc.

[Trezza]

You MUST list your three scenarios in most preferential order.....1,2,3 and compare it to your opponents picks.......

Low number wins.....if a three way tie...you go with the similar second choices.

for the tournament rules....

BFP97 Renewed Pressure
G3 = G2 + Replace the Russian 8-1 with a 9-2
G2 = G1 + Replace one Russian MMG with a HMG
G1 = Delete a 2-4-7 from the German at start OB
R1 = Add a 2-4-7 to the German at start OB
R2 = R1 + Replace three 4-6-7 squads with 4-6-8 squads in the at start OB
R3 = R2 + Replace the German 9-1 with a 10-2

G1/R1 are contradictory....

FrF54 Knil Before the Emperor
D3 = D2 + The Japanese may battle harden two units
D2 = D1 + Replace the Dutch 8-1 with a 8-0
D1 = In the Mission change ">=7" with ">=6"
J1 = Add one AC3D AC to the Dutch reinforcements
J2 = J1 + Replace the Dutch 8-1 with a 9-2
J3 = J2 + Replace the at start Dutch MMG with a HMG

As are D2/J2

Gary,

BFP97 is not contradictory in the fact that both can be applied (they would cancel each other out). I corrected FrF54.

Thanks for the proofreading help!

Daisy Chains:

Daisy chains are in Order 831 and there seems to be some confusion around their HIP/concealed status. Unless we get something official from MMP then I think for Albany we will play them this way:

Secretly record the unit possessing the Daisy Chain. The Daisy Chain will be revealed when placed OR when that unit loses concealment and/or Good Order status.

Any issues with this interpretation?

Thanks,
Steve

You might want to add that they are revealed if they are transferred to another unit.

Nice catch. How about this?

"Secretly record the unit possessing the Daisy Chain. The Daisy Chain will be revealed when placed, when that unit loses concealment, loses Good Order status or the Daisy Chain is transferred to another unit."

Looks like I will have to cross out secretely transferring a Daisy Chain off my ASL bucket list for Albany <sigh>.

I hope to make it to Albany this year. I have not made travel arrangments, as work is very fluid right now. Crossing my fingers and toes.

If I remember correctly there is an SSR i A Bridge Too Far that allows the British to keep their PIATs hidden until certain actions are taken - you might want to check that, too see if there are any other circumstances when the Daisy Chain should perhaps also be revealed.

[James Taylor]

I would recommend SSR5 from J23 Kampfgruppe at Karachev.

Pretty sure that SSR has seen the trial of play and stood up...

Good call, Jim. I went with that SSR. I consider it a little wordy, but it is nice and clear and plays the way I think it should be played.

"During setup, the German player may secretly record the unit which possesses the Daisy Chain. The presence of the Daisy Chain must be revealed when the possessing unit is no longer in Good Order, or if it performs any of the following actions in LOS and within 16 hexes of an unbroken enemy unit: places the Daisy Chain, transfers the Daisy Chain, or drops possession of the Daisy Chain. Once revealed, the Daisy Chain may not regain hidden status."

Thanks,
Steve

Agreed - that SSR is so familiar I thought it *was* the actual ASLRB rule.
