RE: Rules For Penal Troops
Guys,
I waited for a few answers here.
I am very unhappy with the way that rule is written. Like Campsawyer, PY and Hugs, I too am in the keep moving forward and must move camp.
But why could they just not write "Must be activated" or can not Pass on a turn when an unactivated Penal unit is on the board. Similarly, why don't they write "Use full MP allowance" instead of the fangled way it is written.
I am glad you came to that conclusion as we had to stop our game session on the strength of it. I was not going to play a battle where there is unhappiness on a rule and it might later be used or applied wrongly and therefore spoil the scenario. The other reason I am glad you came to the conclusion you did is that a 'canny' Soviet player, by not moving full speed toward the enemy, can each turn simply use them to accompany his regular troops in a more sophisticated fashion.
And talking of mines, the first Penal unit just piled into them in our game and escaped scratches BUT was mown down by HMG's and rifle fire entrenched beyond !
