Tank leaders and night fighting

[campsawyer]

Another Question, Scenario 3, Saipan 44, No tank leaders assigned in Scenario set-up, nor do any pieces in Saipan have ID numbers. How does it work, I assumed that If no tank leaders are stated than they all have a leader inherent in the counter. Is it so... and why hasn't PG after so many years and with the new fourth edition rules, they have never addressed the issue. Just looking for some clarification. Also, is it true that no unit may enter a unfriendly hex at night?

Thanks

First question with tank leaders. Check the SSR's for Saipan, I believe you will find that there is a rule that says both American and Japanese tanks have inherent leaders. With regard to the rules, tank leaders are typically addresses in the scenario SSR's.

As for night, no unit that has not been activated by a leader may move into an unfriendly hex. Here is the link to the annotated rules, Night Movement
