[ASLML] Concealment question

[Tycho Granville]

Now what would be cool - on VASL anyway - would be to have your opponent
only see one ? Counter no many how many units were concealed by it. That
would add some serious fog-of-war. How difficult would it be to tweak the
program for that kind of option?

If the timing is irrelevant, then there is no reason for the rules to
differentiate between setting up one category (real units) and then another
(OB granted '?').

I do not know what else to say about this. The rule may be ambiguous in
ASLRBv2 because of the removal of the Q&A. It was not so in ASLRBv1, which
both you and Bruce used to follow. Why do you think the rule was changed
from v1 to v2?

The two possible answers lie with MMP. Either they thought that the Q&A was
superfluous and the rule already addressed the issue; or they thought that
the rule allowed mixing real units and '?' and the (errata posing as) Q&A
needed to be rescinded (i.e. they changed the rule). Since the rule has not
changed, I will continue to play it as if the rule was meant to be played
the same as in v1.
