[ASLML] Factory Debris in RB, Inherent Terrain, and Gutted Factories

[morrisgj at mscd.edu]

Hello Scott and others:

I have a follow-up question relating to Debris in RB Factories.

Take a Factory like T21 that is Gutted. If we play it via VASL 4 we will Gut the Factories and Debris will show up (per the VASL designers/programmers). However if we play it ftf we note that the hexes contain Debris (Gutted counter in one of the hexes). What is the extent of the Factory Debris in these hexes then? We would play it as though the Factory Debris covers the whole hex (building part only of course), right?

This seems inconsistent treatment for one type of terrain, Factory Debris.

Thanks again.

Gerry
