[ASLML] Assault Engineers - 8-3-8's

[Sam Belcher]

Hi,

The rule book, both V1 and V2, states that 8-3-8's are not automatically
considered Assault Engineers but need some designation to make them such. 

So two questions arise...

1. What is needed? Scenario B "Tractor Works" has a group of Germans that
the OB labels as "Company A, Assault Engineer Battalion 50". But there is no
SSR defining them as Assault Engineers. Are they? (I think yes.) 

2. Is there ANYWHERE except H1.21 that states that "Assault Engineers" get
+2 to their smoke exponent? There are a LOT of rules in chapter H that apply
only to DYO scenarios. One could argue that the +2 smoke exponent is also
only applicable to DYO where you "purchased" the units at extra cost to get
the smoke, DCs and FT that come with them. 

Thanks.
