Can a leg unit that happens to have organic transport and is not in column, enter city hexes whilst dismounted? There is nothing I can see in the rules that
prevents the leg unit moving through the city whilst dismounted and not in column, so the fact that the unit has organic transport seems irrelevant, as whilst
dismounted it is treated as a leg unit. This gives it an advantage over vehicle units as it can effectively move its vehicles through the city without ever
having to enter column mode.
2
Can a leader that has just been airdropped in the reinforcement phase to a landing hex still be used to allow "in-command-range" units that are
already on the main map to spend command points? (ie before the leader has been activated by any chit).
3
If reinforcements are due to arrive in hex "A,B or C" for example, do all reinforcements have to pick the same hex or can you spread them out amongst
the 3 available hexes?
4
German air units can only target units in hexes with "no terrain modifier". Does that mean they could fire at any unit in column? (for example an
allied unit in a forest hex in column). (Technically there is no terrain modifier) for that unit, so can the German air target it?
5
You are not allowed to fire at units in a reinforcement hex, but can an Indirect Fire unit target an empty reinfocement hex in order to try and place a barrage
marker on it?
6
Reinforcements can start in reinforcement hexes in column, but it does not say anywhere that they can start mounted. Can units placed in a reinforcment (not
airdrop) hex, be placed mounted up?

1. Yes. While on the unmounted side the unit is treated as a leg unit.
2. Yes. Once leaders on on the map (outside of reinforcement hexes) they can command Units. 3. They do not all have to arrive at the same hex. 4. The restriction is that the German air units may not target Allied units in a hex with a negative terrain modifier. So only unit in clear, polder, or in column on a raised road/railroad. 5. No, you cant fire at reinforcement hexes, even to just put a barrage marker there. 6. See the start of the scenarios, under the general information (page 22). Reinforcements may arrive in column and/or mounted at the owning player's choice. |

great, thanks!
On question 2, does that mean therefore that a leader in the drop hex cannot command units outside the drop hex until the leader actually leaves the hex he was dropped in? |

No, leaders placed on the map (not in reinforcement hexes, such as those that arrive in para drops, or those given specific hexes to arrive in) just follow the
regular command rules.
Leaders arriving via a reinforcement hex are not in play until they leave the reinforcement hex and move onto the map. Reinforcement hexes can be considered to be places not really on the game map, representing the areas where the reinforcements are coming from. |
