I am about to set up at the German player. Some things about my initial force puzzle me. 1) The briefing says that I start with 3 platoons, but I see only 2 platoons and an MG section. Has the starting force changed since the briefing was written or is the MG section being considered a platoon. 2) I have available 3 sets of off-board mortars that are immediately accessible and an off-board 88 Flak, which is not. I’ve advanced ahead several turns to see if the 88 becomes available, but it does not. What are the conditions under which it becomes so?
