“Don’t forget to move forward the four Einheit Steilau units. These are SPECIAL Deception Units and new rules for their use and effect are covered in the User Manual in the last section Additional Features.”

p.109 of the PzC user manual (user.pdf)

“The Deception Dialog displays both Deception Units that are available and those that have been deployed. Units with an ‘X’ before their name have either moved that turn or have been deployed that turn. Selecting a Deception Unit entry and clicking on the Deploy button, or double-clicking on the Deception Unit entry will close the dialog and deploy the unit provided the deployment conditions are met.

Once a Deception Unit is deployed, the regular counter is removed from the map and the location of the deployed Deception Unit is marked on the map using a special marker. Once a Deception Unit is deployed, it may be redeployed on the next opportunity to another hex within the distance of twice the Deception Range.

Deception Unit Effects
Once deployed, Deception Units have two effects on enemy units within the Deception Radius defined for their side. These effects are also caused by Partisan units without requiring deployment or being subject to detection.

• Enemy units moving in Travel Mode are subject to possible Disruption and loss of remaining Movement Points. The probability of this happening is determined on a hex by hex basis using the Deception Effect probability.

• Enemy engineer units attempting to blow bridges or otherwise cause damage are subject to possible failure of this action. The probability of this happening is determined by the Deception Damage probability”
