# 1 is perfectly reasonable and necessary. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't
even care if they were marked on the bottom of hte base, as long as there
was a way of verifying it afterward. INSIST on verification. We used to
play SFB with a guy who would not let us see his ship chart after the
battle. Obviously, this guy was cheating. You need ot prevent this sort of
thing.

#2 is pushing it. However, I would ask him to write it down, and verify it
afterwards. Since thawks are all single detachments, he shouldn't have a
problem with marking them clearly

If this guy won't allow you to verify (or even better, bring in a ref) then
don't play with him.
