Phantom Artillery

[Volcano Man]

Well, if you're playing against another person, then this is something that would have to be agreed upon before the game begins. I wonder how everybody else resolved this, indeed, if the question even came up before. Also, this isn't the only game and scenario in which this question would have to be resolved.

Ok, so it looks like you answered your own question, or that you already had your mind made up?

Yes, essentially this is something that is best left up to the two players to agree upon. Of course, I don't see how the allied player would agree upon anything other than not using them, or the German player agreeing on anything less than using them. I take the common sense approach that if these units were made reinforcement arrivals like they should be then they wouldn't be on the map to begin with. Whether or not this is the correct way to evaluate it is something else, but it is how I evaluate issues like this in PzC. It really just depends on whether you take the literal or common sense approach to it. Both are correct, and both are incorrect and could be justified either way. I would just say to leave it to an agreement between the two players.
