The rules for mission setup for Mission H2: Blockade Run state:

The Imperial player places four scope tokens in the play area. He must place each scope token flat again an edge of the play area, and he must place each scope token beyond Range 1 of each other scope token and the GR-75.

Nothing here clearly prohibits placing the tokens on the Rebel edge of the board. In fact, the statement that it has to be at least Range 1 away from the GR-75 implies that the scope token might be on the back edge.

Thoughts? Can we place the scope tokens in the rebel deployment area?
