RE: Hex Control (once again)
ACTIVATIONS Folks !
Upon first reading of the rules, I was immediately struck by the fact that the rules make it plainly clear that the order of activations is an important part of a game that uses an inter-active AS system.
In other words, choose the order of your activations carefully and once chosen, be deliberate on how you choose to carry them out (Moved / Fired choices for example and what order).
The very same discussion on this occurred with the EMPTY HEX ASSAULT discussion where there was so much blather about when a hex is emptied or not (start of AS ? end of AS ? etc etc)
The answe is SIMPLE again.
Activations occur in the ORDER they are played. Somebody show me somewhere where the rules ask players to 'drag play back'... Quite simply, they do not. If a good order unit claims a hex in activation 3 of a turn, and is then bombarded to DEM in activation 18 of the same turn, then that unit has already controlled that hex. Tough ?
Keep the game simple, play it as instructed and these kind of "Lets change a rule' discussions will not occur. Well they will, but they can be ignored.
