"We play the game with the bravery of being out of range."
Questions on the game. 

1. Is an Efficiency check for a unit handled the same way as a leaders
Initiative check, i.e. roll a die, add the unit's Efficiency rating, and
hope this equals more than 10? 

2. Upon activation of a group of units are Combat and Movement for those
units handled in any particular order? Or, at the players choice? 

a. can a unit be attacked in several times in one activation? Or do all
attackers have to combine their strengths? 

b. is combat mandatory? 

3. Is the +1 die roll modifier for units/divisions marked with a HOLD
order used only when defending against an attack? Or can such units
receive the +1 when activated (after passing an Efficiency test to enter
the enemy ZOC, of course)?

Hi Richard, 

Happy to got these questions and here are the answers: 

1) Efficiency test for confederate units individual activation needs 10
or more, while other efficiency tests during combat or rally needs 8 or
more to succeed. 

2) The attackers need to combine their strengths (see combat example 2).
Combat is mandatory only for units that have the Assault order. 

3) Good question: I think that if the unit moves to retake an objective,
it gets the combat bonus for Hold even if counterattacking the enemy, so
the answer is yes. 

I assume that you are playing the game with David Smith, so give him my
regards and I sincerely hope that both of you enjoy this game. 

Let me know 

Roberto
