Hold or Die question

[Randy Moorehead]

I have Hold or Die (Libya scenario from BGG) set up. The does the Loyalist artillery barrage need a spotter? Since none begin on the map, we assumed an off-board spotter in a specific hex just off board, but would like to clarify. Or are we over-thinking this, and just choose 3 hexes?

Also, if the spotting round drifts off map is it lost, or available in a future turn?

Thanks!

Hi Randy

The Loyalist artilley barrage doesn't need a spotter. You just have to choose the 3 target hexagones. I'm not the scenario designer but I can said that if the spotting round drifts off map is it lost.

Thanks! This scenario is a blast. These modern small actions show just how flexible the system is.

Had the chance to play this to completion on Sunday. Actually, got in both a scenario of HotG and this one in one afternoon. Had a good chance to win this as the CMT, but the dice weren't with me. Had a leader shaken and lost the 14.5 WT to the barrage. Lost the BMP to a long range shot from the T-55; then had my two rpg half-squads miss on adjacent shots to a BTR. Brutal! Went totally the opposite to the last game, where the CMT were triumphant causing the Loyalists to lose 3 vehicles, 3 squads and one leader before the end of turn 5.

Very nice scenario!
