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

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.
