FAQ Tag: Setup

Question:

I’m setting up the Axis for the 1942 scenario in SE and have a question that I can’t find the answer to in the rule book.  For the point losses, can the German cadre a division and count the full attack strenght of the division towards the point loss requirement?…(i.e. AGN must take 20 points of losses.  Can they cadre (2) 7-6 and (1) 6-6 divisions to meet the 20 point loss, or would the three divisions need to go into the replacement pool?)

Answer:

There literally is nothing in the Scorched Earth rules that say the Rule 9Es wording about losses in combat also applies to losses in setup. Therefor, cadring a 7-6 to a 3-6 only
counts for four points toward the losses the Germans had to apportion.
