Loyalist OB – Conditional Reinforcements, Releasing Basque Garrison

Question:
One of conditions for release of the Euzkadi garrison is the presence of 4 REs of Insurgent units north of the 19xx hexrow.  Does this include the 19xx hexrow itself?

Answer:
No.  The term “north of the 19xx hexrow” means just that.  Units *in* hex of the 19xx hexrow are not *north* of the 19xx hexrow.  Had it been intended that units in the 19xx hexrow be included, the Loyalist OB would have specified “on or north of the 19xx hexrow”.

Loyalist OB – Conditional Reinforcements, Barcelona Revolt

Question:
For disarming during the Barcelona revolt, should the Pe X never upgrade to its XX incarnation, it appears to be left off the disarming conditional reinforcement.  Clearly the intention was that all POUM forces are disarmed.  Should the Pe unit be included in both its possible incarnations?

Answer:
Yes, this is an oversight. If the Le X is in play instead of the XX, the brigade should be disarmed.  Consider the Loyalist OB modified as follows:

Conditional Reinforcements
The Barcelona Revolt. Take the following actions the turn the Barcelona Revolt occurs:

Disarm:
1x 3-4-5* Inf XX    29 Le (P)
2x 1-2-5 Inf X     An, Maur (P)

Special: If  the Le X (P) is still in play (because it was not upgraded to the 29 Le XX) then disarm 1x 2-5 Inf X Le (P) instead of 1x 3-4-5* Inf XX 29 Le (P).  Reduce any accumulated P inf RPs to zero.
