I have played a few CS PBEMs so far, but I dont know if it's possible for the 2nd player to change his opfire settings for turn 1 (ie. the first turn of the active player, the very first turn in the game), or he must use/endure the defaults.
Not that it is a showstopper for me but if it's possible it would be nice to know.
As far as I know your stuck with defaults.
Thanks Otto.
I also award you the "Fastest Forum Response Ever" medal :)
I'm playing an interesting one by Huib Versloot (the designer) where he fixes the sides on both opening turns, so the players can adjust op fire before the scenario gets going. I thought that was a great idea.

It would be nice to have option to set opfire 'on' only when something is trying to enter your hex.
I like that idea. Might be a good setting for HQs. Don't give your location away, unless the enemy would find you anyway.

You can't change the op-fire settings that are set for the scenario........however the designer can :-).....also as stated before designer can fix all units for both sides turn to allow for setting op-fire and initial arty barrages.

That's indeed a clever idea.

This is a classic design error. Designer can do 3 things:
-Place all units as fixed the first turn
-Set OP fire in the scn file (players will have to set their own preferences afterward)
-Cut the action points of those units that may enter in OP fire range in the scn editor, so these units have no action points to move the first turn.
