Treating Concealed Commands as Off-table

Number: 5

Description:

Regarding the commentary, one aspect which I believe is incorrect is

the treatment of concealed commands - the commentary believes they

should be treated as if 'off the table' (commentary pages 14 & 22) and

get a different coloured PIP dice.  However the rules (see page 26)

clearly state the situations in which a command dices independently.

Nowhere do the rules mention 'concealed command' but  flank marches,

delayed commands, dead generals and broken commands are specifically

mentioned.  IMO the committee got this one wrong and I'd be interested

to hear other opinions.

Suggestion for tighter wording on discovery of HO

Number: 2

Description:Doug M posted this on the dbmmlist

My wording would be that

"if a single element move reaches or crosses hidden obstacles, the HO

are revealed and must be placed at the completion of that move.

If a group move reaches or crosses hidden obstacles, the HO are revealed

and must be placed at the completion of that group move."
