That is a very good database. I use it almost daily. Thanks!!!
Newbie question regarding deployment
-
The first three hexes of the map… what does that mean, exactly? When counting up to three hexes from the edge of the map, do you go in a zig-zag (resulting in less deployment space) or straight along a line of hexes (resulting in more deployment space)?
-
You can deploy in the 1st 3 FULL hexes from the edge of the board. Don’t count half-hexes, they aren’t used in the game. Since the board is made of hexes, it is a little zig-zag.
Have fun, it’s a great game!

Thanks for the answer. I knew half-hexes didn’t count, but I was confused on whether or not I should start at the first full hex and count up 3 in a straight line, or count up to three in a zig-zag. But now I know that it’s the latter. Thanks again.
-
3!?….oops, I’ve always done it as 5 hexes, I feel stupid. :oops:
-
Depends on the map, actually. The maps with the first 5 sets have more hexes and it is indeed 5 hexes. The new maps with set 6 (39-45) you setup in the 1st 3 hexes.

Thanks, I thought I was doing all wrong this whole time. :roll:

Well, as long as you know the rules it really only matters that your opponent agrees with you. I take liberties with the rules all the time. I used to deploy in the first two with the old maps, because I like the “movement to fire” part of the game.
