ADC Game Set Version 1.01

ADC2 Game Set Notes.


Notes specific for this gameset:

1.  I use hidden units for the NLF/VC.  If you play the US or NVN player, you can only find out 
    what the NLF units are when you select them as the defender in an attack.  Just selecting 
    them as the "defender" is enough and then clicking the OK button on the tool bar.  So if 
    you're not the US player, log in as the NLF player and you'll see all units, US, NLF, NVN, 
    SVN, Free World Allies, etc.

    I've found two ways to rehide units.  The first way I have found is to put them
    back into a "pool" and then place them back on the map.  I created a "REHIDE NLF" pool right
    at the top of the pools for this purpose so it's not really that tough.  

    The second way is to edit the Piece Values of a unit.  When you do, in the lower right hand
    corner of the window that opens is a button with red text that'll say, "This piece is NOT 
    hidden".  Clicking on it once changes it to "The piece's INFO hidden".  Clicking a second time
    changes it to "This piece IS hidden".  When you OK your way back out, if you're logged in as
    the US or NVN player, you'll see the NLF piece's back again with no values.

2.  Starting password for NLF is nlf (don't know if it's case sensitive)

3.  Use the "random selection" method for placing NLF battalions from the pool to the map.  You
    can place one at a time as per the rules.

4.  If units for a scenario are to be placed withing X hexes of a hex, I put those unit in that
    hex.  If they are to be place in the gaming area, I put them off the coast near the area of
    play.  I also place reinforcements near the area of play.

5.  For the campaign game, I plan to use an "overlay" counter to indicate whether a SVN Corps
    Commander is (L)oyal, (W)avering, or (PC)ro Coup.  They'll flip "L" to "W" to "PC" to "L"  All
    but the letter is transparent in these counters.

6.  I have color coded the unit symbol of the US, NVN and SVN divisions to make it easier to tell 
    where the parts are for artillery support.  The SVN Leader Display has the division color at
    the top of each column.  This makes the 5th and Paratroopers hard to read at the top of their
    column but I haven't come up with a better way yet.

Not sure what else to add at this time.  Let me know what I left out!!!!  And let me know of any 
mistakes so I can fix them for the next version.

Have fun!!
