Can a unit exit the board with attached BA?
I assume you intend that to be swarmed by hostile battle armor?

I hate this entire year already.  It's 11 weeks old and I've been sick, injured, or both, for 7 of them.

Do Ranger reinforcement lances deploy on-board at the start, or enter the board on their normal reinforcement turn? If so, from what edge?

Evidently they deploy on-board at the beginning of the game.  I honestly don't know a) how I missed that, or b) how the scenario was up for 2 weeks before somebody asked that.

Just to clarify, does this mean the Clan units are unable to fire weapons at all in the opening turn? Or that they are able to fire indiscriminately without such attacks locking them into zell challenges?

Unable to fire at all.  They are still bound by zell unless/until you surats break it. 

Quote
Are vehicle crews considered to disperse and be lost in such circumstances, or will they be tracked on-board?

Dispersed and lost, as per normal rules.  It was intended more as a reminder about vee abandomnent.

Quote
Does a roll need to be made to use a-pods vs warm bodies in the same hex?

Nope.

***Rules for Enhanced Imaging***
Are clan units able to begin the scenario with EI already active? Does BA have EI?
[/quote]

Yes, and no, respectively.

Can a unit exit the board with attached BA?

...that is a very good question.  I'ma have to put a quick custom game together and find out.

Is Ryan going to be ok with someone running his mechs when he has to leave?

As a matter of fact, yes, you can.  Additionally, the unit in question is considered destroyed for purpose of victory conditions, though they are not considered salvageable.

Yes, he's fine with it.
Just to be very clear, he is fine with someone else playing his units with the high likelihood that one or more may be lost? It's one thing to say yeah play with my toys while i'm gone. It's a bit different to expect to come back to them lying broken on the floor.

He understands that this scenario has a good likelihood of destroying one or both of his marauders. As long as whoever is running them is playing smart, he says he’s ok. I would expect them to be treated with the same attention and smart play as people playing their own. If you want me to help with the PC side rather than running OpFor, I’ll make sure to be back as quick as possible after dropping him off and run them myself.

Okay, good enough for me. Just being sure since this one is likely to have losses.

It probably helps that with him going in the second round, several of us have already lost mechs and I expect more people will lose mechs in this one too.

Yeah, I can see that.

I've got maps ready. I'll also pack the appropriate mechs and my lance.

Did you pack your lance?

I had thought Deadly was doing the sheets.  If he's not, then who is?
