Rupert Cullum - May 11, 2005 5:34 pm (#8048 Total: 8049) Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. -- James Bovard, Civil Libertarian Lobositz Query We have had a few queries for Lobositz over in the BAR folder with some good opinions offered, but no resolution: 1) Can Austrians move off-map units in limited activation ? I would agree that the rules would suggest not (and it seems to me sensible that they can't). Is this correct ? What about entering the board in road column ? 2) Are the Austrian 7lb howitzer range multipliers 1-2 x 6, 3-7 x 3, 8-11 x 2, and 12-14 x 1 ? 3) Draskowitz has no command role with the Grenzers in the vineyards, and so the Grenzers are only in command if done with initiative, or by tracing an LOC to Browne or another command leader. Is this correct ? 4) Is Moller's counter is correct with the 2 on the back for the number of stacks, not 3 per the rules ? 5) Can arty units prolong if they fire in the fire phase of the activation ? If so, what does the FP give the special arty units ? 6) If the Austrian commits 4 or 5 offboard commands, does he need to hold Lobositz, Sullowitz, and Welhotta for victory ? None of it is killer stuff and I'm having fun, but an official ruling on these issues would be nice !

Yes/Yes they can. 2) Are the Austrian 7lb howitzer range multipliers 1-2 x 6, 3-7 x 3, 8-11 x 2, and 12-14 x 1 ? Yes. 3) Draskowitz has no command role with the Grenzers in the vineyards, and so the Grenzers are only in command if done with initiative, or by tracing an LOC to Browne or another command leader. Is this correct ? Yes. 4) Is Moller's counter is correct with the 2 on the back for the number of stacks, not 3 per the rules ? Yes, stick with the counter's rating. 5) Can arty units prolong if they fire in the fire phase of the activation ? If so, what does the FP give the special arty units ? Yes, who wants to keep track of this anyway? Can't rule on the other half, though. Ask Frank. 6) If the Austrian commits 4 or 5 offboard commands, does he need to hold Lobositz, Sullowitz, and Welhotta for victory ? Yes.
