RE: Patrolling
In Minsk '44, the partisans have been given the Deception unit attribute. These means that in addition to the inherent deception abilities that partisans possess, it can also deploy as a Deception unit. Deployed deception units are not affected by Patrolling unless the Extended Patrolling optional rule is used. I suspect this is what is causing the problem.
Since Minsk pre-dates the Extended Patrolling rule, it is not clear to me what the intention of the designer was. I have mentioned this to David, and unless he can discover the rationale, he will fix this as part of the update process.
In the meantime, players starting a new game should consider using the Extended Patrolling optional rule. For games in progress the Russian player could refrain from deploying partisans.
