Turn sequence help

 

Normally 1 blind per platoon plus maybe 1 or 2 dummies per side.
There's only 1 chit/card for all blinds, not 1 per blind. So the initial deck is one blind card for each side and the tea break.
Although personally I dump the tea break until something comes off blinds.?
?When a unit fires or is spotted, figures go on the table, and the unit's card goes in the deck for next turn
(if you use the big cards which came out with IABSM v3 you can use the cards themselves as blinds, then you won't forget to add the card to the deck when a unit comes off the blind)

Hello

So I've been trying to learn IABSM these last couple months. I don't have a gaming group and the few around me only play CoC, FoW, etc.... I don't have many opportunities to set up a table to play. I've been trying to wrap my head around blinds and how they work and the whole chit/card draw system. I'm going to write down what my understanding on how things flow and would really appreciate it if the more knowledgeable people here would correct me where I mess up.

I'm using circular mdf pieces for all my units/blinds.

So, for my hypothetical setup, I have for the US

1 tank platoon
1 Big Man lvl 3

3 infantry platoons
3 Big Men

1 hvy weapons team
1 Big man

Germans.....

1 tank platoon
1 Big man

3 infantry platoons
3 Big men

1 hvy MG team
1 big man

So, I'd have cards for each platoon, each big man, each hvy weapons team and each tank platoon??
However, the only thing in the chit bag would be blinds and a tea break? How many blinds should there be? 1 blind for each platoon and hvy weapon team? What about big men...do they each get a blind?

So, first chit I pull is " US blind #1"...it's put on the table edge or where ever the scenario dictates and it gets 4 actions. Next chit is "German blind #2" and it's put on the table and given it's 4 actions. Next chit pulled is "US blind #3"....etc. etc...

Let's say chit pull number 6 is a "German blind #4" and it decides to spot and it successfully spots a US unit. The US blind is removed and replaced with the corresponding US platoon and does the German Blind still stay a blind? If it decided to shoot with one of its actions that German blind is removed and the corresponding German platoon is put on the table?

Once a blind fires it's no longer a blind and the corresponding platoon/unit is places on the map, correct? Or does it also need to be spotted before its blind is replaced with the corresponding unit?

For now, I think that's it. This is where I'm really stuck. Firing, movement, actions, the various tables, etc....I have a decent understanding of that.?

Thanks
