Question re activation

[Tony M]

While rearranging shelves in my attic I noticed that I have the original PG as well as Eastern Front. I played both years ago and was intrigued by the system. But RL intervened. I'm retired now, and decided to give PG a try again.

I'm currently solo playing Scenario #61, "Odessa: Hill 101," from Eastern Front. Being an infantry-only scenario it seems simple enough. But I may be over-thinking the activation rules.

If all of my Romanian units begin in side-by-side stacks, and each stack has a leader, can every stack take an action one after the other, with each leader activating his own stack and the stack next to him? If so, that means all of the Romanians can close with the Soviet line during the first action phase of Turn 1, before the Soviets are able to do anything but take opportunity fire.

I don't play wargames much anymore, but a couple years ago I had a pleasant email exchange with Dr. Bennighof re Black Panthers. If I ever begin buying wargames again, I will have to buy Eisenborn Ridge and Black Panthers.
