Two officers and 5 units in the board 3 town. The idea was to move one unit in each of the town hexes if the Schutzbund advanced quickly. Please note I do not consider 0509 to be a town hex.
Two officers and 3 units in the board 24 town. Just enough to slow down the Schutzbund before the reinforcements arrive should the Schutzbund bypass the first town.
I set up the SA as per my understanding of Matt's suggestion in his AAR. It did not matter, the SA were absolutely no match for the much, much stronger Austrian force.
