Hi.

A happy New Year to you all.

Just a quick question. Can MG squads from different divisions be placed together, IE on the same base, in the set up phase or do you think this has to be done at the squad transfer stage. Obviously if different divisions are set up in different areas of the board they cannot, but if no stipulations are made as regard placement other than in hexes XYZ etc. Then perhaps they can. I have played the game with basing together, but on reflection perhaps this is not correct. Opinions??????

In a two player game, I see no problem with intermixing two machineguns from diffrent divisions. do not see much point to it, but mortars on the other hand.....

I was thinking of MGs as they can be quite deadly in op fire with two together, but obviously this question does refer to all units. Should squads be set up as per the scenario IE Div 1 has all its troops together and the same for Div 2 or do you think squad bases can be made up of all available figures never mind which Div they are supposed to be attached to?

I am thinking it maybe be better to set up as per the scenario and if you want to intermingle this should be done at the squad transfer stage.

Twin machineguns are quite deadly, bit also quite vunerable.

I am quite sure that the rules allow you to mix models that have the same setup requirements.

I do not think you may change the setup indicated by the scenario.

The deployment zones and the respective forces to fill them are already part of the scenario and ensure from their part its balance. Neither the figures nor the specializations from different divisions should be mixed if different deployment zones exist for each division.
