As with Exodus, I had the opportunity to read the rules, not to play the game... but I have questions.
1a) How does one marks up terrain on the postcard? Should I write/ use a marker on the card? Setup steps completely omit that element, even though Mission descriptions provide exact locations of terrain features.
Also, I cannot tell the difference between Mech Unit and Wall on Mission 1 diagrams - those lines on the borders of spaces are much thicker in Mission 1 than on other diagrams
1b) How does one divide damage between commandos? One point of damage - it is given to whom out of two or three soldiers? Two points of damage - can they be allocated to a single commando if there are more in the group?
2) Missions require to use Commandos Special Abilities. But who can fulfill Mission 1 and 2 requirements? No one has an ability that specifically mention destroying depots and radio relay - instead we have special abilities that provide -1 to close combat, climbing walls etc. Probably any commando will do in Mission 1 and 2 but this "use commando special ability" in mission goals confuses me.
3) Mission 3 goals, as they are explicitly connected to Sapper CSA - if Sapper is gone (depending on damage allocation in combat), the mission cannot be fulfilled, right?
4) How do we mark German soldier 'dead' in a particular space (for the purpose of German move).
Thanks in advance!

Hey Riszard : )
1a) My preferred method is dry erase marker on clear plastic or as you mentioned, pencil on paper.
No mech unit on Mission 1. Mission 2 there is a mech unit (truck) on B6
1b) you may distribute damage points as you see fit between commandos.
2) Any commando can fulfill missions 1 and 2. You have to use a commando special ability (CSA) ACTION at the required location to fulfill mission. (this only means that the commando is using one of his actions to perform the mission goal - not that he is using his innate ability. )
3) Correct
4) Flip counter, mark up the spot with an X, or use dice, piece of paper etc : )
Thank you for your questions! Will wait a few more days until I update file.
Hope this helps.
