Patrolling

[Green]

So check the PDT, as I suggested, then you may be able to provide more details as to whether there is an issue or not. Without knowing what game/scenario is involved, I can't tell if there is an issue, but getting disrupted in a hex by partisans when you are patrolling from that hex may be exactly what the game designer wanted.

For example, doing some leg work to find an example rather than randomness, in Serbia, 1915, the deception range for side A (Allied player I think) is 3, while the deception range for side B is only 2. Hence, the partisan type units can be 1 hex outside of the patrolling unit's range and thus disrupt a unit in the hex with the patrolling unit.

And that is on purpose, exactly the interaction/asymmetry between the forces that Ed built into Serbia, and possibly the title you are playing.

Rick,

I have no knowledge of how things work in FWWC but it appears to be different from PzC.

In PzC, patrolling negates the ability of Partisans within the deception range of those partisans. So, if the deception range of the partisans is 5, a patrolling unit will negate partisans within a 5 hex range.

This is how I would interpret the description in the User Manual. Typically only one side will have a deception range. The patrolling units are not using deception so their sides deception value is not relevant. At least, that is my understanding and I believe that is how it was intended. So, in PzC, partisans cannot disrupt a unit in the same hex as patrolling unit.
