Subject: SGII EW rules clarification
Because of the eratta regarding the fact that a unit can actually be reactivated and fire twice during a game turn.....could someone out there please clarify the following. Scenario: I have a combat squad containing an EW grunt. During my activation I activate that squad, use two actions as normal and my EW goes active. During my opponents next activation I use up all three EW counters trying to jam his communications. Which means my EW is now inactive Question: Can I reactivate that squad during this same game turn using a plattoon leader communicating actions to; a) initiate fire combat, move etc. b) get 3 more EW counters. I know the rules say otherwise in the second last paragraph, left column, page 19....... "Whenever one of these EW tasks is attempted, it costs the EW unit one of its EW markers from its stack; when all three are used up, (no further tasks may be attempted by that unit until it is re-activated next game turn)". If the answer is yes to a) then would the line I have placed in brackets be replaced by (no further EW tasks may be attempted by that unit until it is re-activated next game turn). If the answer is also yes to b) then would the line I have placed in brackets be replaced by (no further tasks may be attempted by that unit until it is re-activated) If the answer is no to a) and b) I get to bash a rules lawyer
