[ASLML] A12.12

[Owens, Michael S CPT]

Let me rephrase Keith's question, since I was one of the involved parties in the "discussion".
 
I have always played that when one side enters from offboard the Scenario Defender sets up without the Scenario Attacker around to watch as per A12.12.  Where I have erred in the past is that I have then allowed the Scenario Attacker to set up his units offboard to enter and conceal those offboard units -- all without the Scenario Defender looking.  I believe this is a case of "I've always been playing it wrong".
 
Read A12.12 again.  It states that "Thereafter, a "?" may be placed on top of any non-concealed [emphasis added] Good Order unit/stack before it enters the mapboard for the first time".  To me, this means that the units to enter are set up offboard unconcealed as the first action in the RPh, then concealed immediately before they enter (whether that entry is in the MPh or the APh).
 
The Defender still does not have right of inspection per A12.16, since no LOS to the offboard units exists.
 
What sayeth the List?  Have I always been playing it wrong? Or am I now missing some other rules reference?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Mike

More precisely, can ? Be placed on offboard units during the RPH before
the movement phase?

Does the defender have the right of inspection of the offboard setup, ie
actually knowing what is under the ? Counters?
