Morale Napoleon Deployment

[ronisan]

Hello,
I just wanted to play Scenario 16.5 „Hold the Bridge“ (page 50).
Under 16.5.4 Deployment, first bullet: „The attackers… entering… from… sections 7, 8 and 9.“
Under 16.5.5 Special Instructions, fifth bullet: „When you (defender?) activate… move… into section 7, 8 and 9…“

Question: For holding/defending the bridge, shouldn’t‘t the defender deploy/move into section 1, 2 (where the bridge is located) and 3 instead of 7, 8 and 9?
So - is 16.5.5 bullet five correct? Do both armies move onto the battlefield at the same edge an „run“/fight parallel to the bridge at the opposite edge?

I just discovered that there are more scenarios with this deployment on the same edge (16.1, 16.2) ?

Cheers,
Ronald

Here's the correct info.
The bridge should be in section 8.
The defender sets up in section 7, 8, and/or 9 as desired.
The attacker will then enter in sections 1,2 3,4 5 and/or 6 as rolled. 

The correct deployment is player always in 7, 8, and/or 9.
PDFs deployed in sections 1,2,3,4,5 and /or 6.

Hope this helps.
Ed

Hello Ed,

thank you for answering.
Now it makes sense to me.

Hello Ed,

I‘m sorry … should have read 16.5 „Hold the Bridge“ in detail.
First line: „ …you (attacker) are trying to capture the bridge.“
Therefore it is absolutely correct, that (you) the attacker enters into section 7, 8 and 9!
And it is correct that the bridge is in section 2(!) and the defender PEFs deploy in sections 1 to 6.

Mea culpa

Cheers,
Ronald
