A.8 Is a unit on ground level ADJACENT to a unit on level 2 in an adjacent building hex?

A. No. {97}

A15 Since the MPh and DFPh are considered one phase for Defensive Fire purposes, can an AFV fire (e.g.) its CMG as Defensive First Fire and later fire its MA in the DFPh?

A. Yes (and if it changed CA to fire the MG, the appropriate Case A DRM would still apply to its MA shot; D3.51). {96}

A1.11 Is a leader without a functioning SW considered "armed" for all purposes?

A. Yes, unless he is currently being held as a prisoner. {96}

A1.123 Are vehicular crews in counter form (e.g. 1-2-7) considered to be elite units?

A. No, but Churchill AVRE crews (Assault Engineers per British Vehicle Note 37) may use DC as if elite. {J1}

A1.32 & A10.8 If a Fanatic HS Recombines with a HS that is not Fanatic, is the resultant squad Fanatic?

A. No. {96}

A2.3 If a piece is set up in a half-hex between two allowed boards, does it count against scenario-specified setup limitations on both of those boards?

A. Yes. {96}

A2.8 The rule says that a leader on one level cannot affect the performance of units on another level, but I am not sure what is meant by "performance" since A2.8 is not given as an exception in Rules A10.2, A10.21, A10.6, A10.63, A10.71 or A15.41. Thus, if a leader is on one level of a Depression hex and there is a MMC on another level of that hex, can the leader: assist the MMC with a MC/TC; cause the MMC to take a LLMC/LLTC; cause the MMC to become berserk; rally the MMC if it breaks IN the Depression hex and the leader is at Crest level?

A. No to all. {96}

A2.9 & A6.11 If his side sets up first, may a player check the LOS from his units to "empty" hexes, including for Bore-Sighted/Pre-Registered Hex purposes? What if he sets up second, or setup is simultaneous?

A. LOS may be thusly checked only by a Scenario Defender who sets up first [EXC: the player who sets up first may always check LOS for Bore-Sighted/Pre-Registered Hex purposes]. {96}

A4.12 May a Cavalry leader provide a MF bonus to Infantry in his Location? May a leader who is a Passenger/Rider?

A. Yes, so long as the provisions of A4.12 are not violated. However, since the leader and Infantry must move as a stack, the leader in the second case would have to be on an AFV using Armored Assault with that Infantry. {96}

A4.12 & A4.7 Does a leader's bonus MF apply in the APh too?

A. Yes. {96}

A4.12 Does the leadership bonus apply if a leader and MMC begin the MPh one in Crest and one in non-Crest status? One in and one out of an entrenchment? One above and one below a Wire/panji counter? One IN a rice paddy and one on a Bank?

A. No to all. {J1}

A4.132 If a firer's LOS to a unit paying Road movement costs is blocked at the center dot, can the firer then check LOS to the point where the hexside intersects the road (and vice versa)? If the LOS is hindered? Is this point where the road bisects the hexside?

A. Yes. Yes. No, any point on the hexside where the road crosses it. {97}

A4.132 & B3.4 Can moving units on a road get the road bonus if not changing Locations (e.g. place SMOKE, recover weapons, etc.)?

A. Yes. {J1}

A4.134 Suppose a squad is carrying six PP, leaving it with one MF, and it uses a Minimum Move to move into an adjacent building hex. For Defensive First Fire purposes, is it considered to have spent only one MF in that building hex--or two?

A. Two MF. {96}

A4.134 & A4.15 Can a Minimum Move be used by a MMC to conduct an INF OVR against an adjacent SMC?

A. Yes. {96}

A4.15 Does the doubled cost of Infantry OVR double the cost of hexside terrain (e.g. wall)? Double the cost of SMOKE?

A. Yes to both; this doubling occurs after all modification. {J1}

A4.151 If a SMC is being attacked by an INF OVR, can it choose the option of being moved to an Accessible Location if it already has a First Fire counter on it?

A. No, "otherwise incapable of movement." {96}

A4.151 If a MMC is attacking a SMC by INF OVR and the option to move the SMC to an Accessible Location is chosen, can the SMC be moved into the hex from which the MMC is entering the SMC's Location?

A. Yes. {96}

A4.151 Can a SMC being Infantry OVR move if it is on a horse/skis/bicycle? On an unarmored vehicle/motorcycle/wagon?

A. Yes. No. {J1}

A4.151 If a MMC enters a Location expending twice the normal MF in order to conduct an Infantry OVR, is Defensive First Fire versus it emanating from some other Location conducted before or after the SMC enters an Accessible Location? Before or after the Infantry CC attack (if any) is resolved?

A. After. Before. {96}

A4.2 If a stack of units is moving together, and a unit in the stack expends MF to place a SMOKE grenade/DC or to Recover a SW, then must other units in the stack also expend the same MF if they are to continue to move together as a stack?

A. Yes. {96}

A4.2 When a stack of units is moving together, can the different units in the stack perform different actions in their hex when simultaneously expending one MF (i.e., one unit attempts SMOKE placement, one unit recovers a SW, one unit places a DC on an ADJACENT target)?

A. Yes, but for each MF expenditure, he must designate all actions at the same time. {97}

A4.2 May infantry units not specifically listed in A4.2 move as a stack? May two Cavalry units move as a stack? Two cyclists? Two vehicles?

A. Yes. Yes. Bicyclists may; motorcyclists cannot. Only via platoon movement (for AFV) or Convoy (including motorcycles and unarmored vehicles). {J1}

A4.3 May a unit bypass a gully-woods hex?

A. No. {97}

A4.31 Can an Infantry unit that is using Bypass expend MF to place a SMOKE grenade (A24.1) or DC (A23.3) while still in Bypass (as long as it has sufficient MF to leave the hex)?

A. Yes. {96}

A4.4 Is the PP cost for a SW deducted from a unit's IPC if the unit begins its MPh with the SW and drops it after expending a MF in its hex (such as to place a SMOKE grenade or to Recover a different SW) but before moving one hex with it?

A. Yes. {96}

A4.4 & A4.44 If a unit Recovers the SW at the end of its MPh (i.e., it expends no MF after gaining possession of the SW), is the portage cost assessed?

A. No. {96}

A4.41 How do the U.S. and French 37mm INF SW fire during the AFPh?

A. They may not fire in the AFPh if they moved, and otherwise must add Case B. {97}

A4.41 May a HMG or MMG fire in the AFPh if it has not changed Locations but did enter/exit a Fortification, (un)load, (dis)mount, move under Wire/Panji, or change Crest status or position in a rice paddy?

A. No, it has not remained stationary. {J1}

A4.42 May two SMC together portage a 3PP weapon?

A. No. One SMC must possess the weapon and, even though the other SMC raises the first's IPC by one, the possessing SMC "may never portage more than two PP." {96}

A4.43 If an unbroken unit wishes to do nothing during its MPh except drop a SW, can it do so at the cost of one MF?

A. It would do so at no MF cost--but it could then become the (non-moving) target of Defensive First Fire. {96}

A4.43 Can an Infantry unit abandon a SW as it advances during its Advance Phase?

A. Yes; see A4.43 in the 1987 Errata. {96}

A4.431 The rule permits SW to be Transferred among Riders on the same vehicle while it is in Motion. Can SW really be Transferred between Riders on the same Motorcycle while it is in Motion?

A. Yes. {96}

A4.431 Can units who transfer SW perform other actions (e.g., Recombinations, Scrounging, etc.) in the same RPh?

A. No. {96}

A4.44 How many SW/Guns may be Recovered per phase by a Good Order, unpinned SMC from ³ one unit eliminated/surrendering/routing in his Location?

A. One. {96}

A4.44 Can a leader apply his leadership modifier to another unit's Recovery dr?

A. No. See A4.44 in the 1987 Errata. {96}

A4.44 Can a Cavalry SMC recover a SW from a Cavalry MMC?

A. No. {J1}

A4.44 & A4.4 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A4.44 & A10.6 If a SMC attempts to Recover a SW from a broken MMC in the RPh, may another leader still attempt to Rally that MMC?

A. Yes. {96}

A4.5 If Infantry enters terrain that requires "ALL" of its MF allotment, may it then declare Double Time to gain an extra MF?

A. No. {96}

A4.5 May Bicycle Riders (D15.81) and Skiers (E4.3) Double Time?

A. Yes. They are not riding a form of conveyance. {96}

A4.51 Are all five of the listed conditions (in the penultimate sentence) for removal of the CX counter (other than "if a unit breaks") only effective "in the next player turn"?

A. Yes. {J1}

A4.6 The rule states that units in Trenches are not subject to FFNAM. Would units that are attacked as they move from outside the Trench to inside the Trench be considered "units in a Trench"?

A. No. {96}

A4.6 Do any DRM other than Hindrance/TEM negate FFMO?

A. No. {97}

A4.63 May a Dashing unit expend an extra MF in the road Location (e.g. to Recover a SW) and still receive Dash benefits if it otherwise qualifies for them?

A. A Dashing unit may expend no MF in the road beyond the minimum required to enter it. {96}

A4.63 For an infantry unit to make a Dash, must it have enough MF left (after deducting for PP in excess of its IPC) to cover the normal cost of the two-hex movement?

A. Yes. See A4.63 in the 1987 Errata. {96}

A4.63 If a unit Dashing across a road becomes berserk, does it charge in that same MPh?

A. Yes, using eight MF (three MF if wounded) minus whatever MF it has already expended. {96}

A4.63 & A8.15 A Dashing unit is attacked as it leaves its starting hex with a Snapshot. Would the FP of this attack be halved or quartered? Would FFMO/FFNAM apply?

A. Quartered. No. {97}

A4.63 & A15.43 Can a Berserk unit use a Dash move to enter an enemy occupied hex?

A. Yes--provided it meets all the requirements for both Dash and Berserk movement. {96}

A4.63 & B7.4 May a unit declare a Dash in order to cross a runway (or "boulevard") hex?

A. No. {96}

A4.63 & D9.31 May Infantry use Dash and Armored Assault simultaneously?

A. No. {96}

A4.63 May a unit attempt to Dash through Wire?

A. No. {J1}

A4.63 May Dash and Bypass be combined in a woods-road hex or building-road hex?

A. Yes, if the Dashing unit can bypass the obstacle while crossing the road. {J1}

A4.7 May Infantry advance if they are marked with a CC counter, or if they have no available MF after deducting for PP > their IPC?

A. No to both. {96}

A4.7 & A4.12 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A5.11 & A10.51 When determining the closest (in MF) building/woods hex that a broken unit can rout to, is the MF cost for entering an overstacked hex included in the MF calculations?

A. Yes. {96}

A5.132 Suppose German vehicles have exceeded the vehicular stacking limits in a hex which also contains a Russian T-34. If a Russian weapon other that the T-34 fires on a German target in the hex but misses, does this mean that the Russian T-34 can be hit as a secondary target even though it is not overstacked?

A. Yes. {96}

A5.5 & A16. Can Battlefield Integrity rules be used in a scenario where one side has less than ten squads but more than ten squad-equivalents?

A. Yes. {96}

A6.11 & A2.9 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A6.21 & A6.4 Does a unit at Level 2 have a LOS over a Level 1 1/2 obstacle six hexes away to an enemy unit at Level 1 in the hex directly behind the obstacle?

A. Yes. {96}

A6.7 & E3.1 Are LV hindrances (e.g., night, Mist) cumulative with other hindrances regardless of range? (For Example: at range of 2 hexes, one orchard hex between target and firer, EXTRA HEAVY mist and night LV applies, what is the DRM derived from LOS/LV hindrances?) Does the "range" statement in A6.7 refer to the range between target and firer? (Or just to the portion of the LOF that is crossing the "terrain" hindrance?)

A. Yes. (4.) No. (Yes.) {97}

A7.1 & A8.1 May a unit use Small Arms (or non-ordnance MG) to DFF on the IFT at a moving BU, CT AFV for the sole purpose of laying down a Fire Lane or leaving Residual FP?

A. Yes. {97}

A7.2 If a Gun uses Intensive Fire, is the manning infantry allowed to Subsequent First Fire thereafter?

A. No, although it could use FPF. {J1}

A7.21 Is the FP of MG and/or SW ATR doubled (tripled) for PBF (TPBF) attacks?

A. Yes. {96}

A7.212 If a unit's Location is occupied by an enemy unarmored vehicle, it is still free to attack other targets. Is this true even if the vehicle has vulnerable PRC?

A. No {96}

A7.212 If a Bypassing friendly AFV occupies a hex that contains an enemy unit at a higher level, do the firing restrictions of this rule apply to that enemy unit? Do they apply if a BU friendly AFV, regardless of whether or not it is in Bypass or is OT, occupies a Location that contains an enemy unit?

A. Only if the AFV is CE/OT. Yes. {96}

A7.24 If the attacking unit is firing a SW, is that SW's FP halved?

A. Yes, unless the SW is a FT, DC, or MOL, or is being fired as ordnance. {96}

A7.301 If a hex containing a HS, a broken squad and an unarmed unit is attacked and the IFT result is "1KIA", and Random Selection results in the elimination of the HS, do the broken squad and unarmed unit suffer Casualty Reduction, just like berserk/heroic units would?

A. Yes. {96}

A7.301 & A22.4 How is a K/# result resolved vs a stack of three Personnel units, two of which possess a FT? What if all three possessed a FT?

A. Each of the FT-bearing units suffers a 1KIA, and the third unit suffers the K/#. Each of them would suffer a 1KIA. (The -1 FT DRM is unique in that for attack resolution purposes it applies in this separate, individual manner to each possessing unit.) {96}

A7.301 & C3.74 If Random Selection due to a CH on multiple units chooses > one of those units, but fewer units than the KIA# for that CH's FP and Final IFT DR, must Random Selection be used again among the non-CH units in order to bring the number of CH units up to the KIA's #?

A. No--the number of units chosen by the original Random Selection is the number the CH is resolved against. {96}

A7.302 If a SMC is wounded by a K/# result, must he also take the resulting MC?

A. No (e.g., see the A.9 example). {96}

A7.34 & A9.52 May Spraying Fire be used versus two adjacent "empty" hexes/Locations during the enemy MPh (e.g. in order to place Residual FP therein)?

A. No--at least one of those hexes/Locations must contain a moving enemy unit. {96}

A7.353 & A8.31 If a HS uses a LMG during Defensive First Fire, can it use both the LMG and its inherent FP during Subsequent-First-Fire/Final-Protective-Fire in the same phase?

A. No. It can use its LMG or its inherent FP in Subsequent First Fire; for FPF, it must use its LMG and cannot use its inherent FP. {96}

A7.353 & A22.611 If a HS fails a MOL Check dr during the Defensive First Fire, can it still use its inherent FP for Subsequent First Fire in that same phase?

A. Yes, halved. {96}

A7.353 May a HS that fired a SW in First Fire use its inherent FP in Subsequent First Fire vs a non-adjacent target?

A. Yes, under the usual conditions (range, etc.). {J1}

A7.4 Which side resolves an attack into a Melee first?

A. The side that did not conduct that attack. {96}

A7.52 & A9.52 If multiple units/weapons in the same Location wish to use Spraying Fire as a FG, must each of them attack the same two Locations or is it sufficient for the target Locations to merely overlap such that each firer shares one target Location with ³ one other firer?

A. All units and weapons firing must attack the same two Locations. {96}

A7.53 If a leader uses his leadership modifier to direct a FG in Defensive First Fire, then later on in that same phase can he direct a FG in which some units/SW are using Subsequent First Fire and some are using Defensive First Fire?

A. Only if all the units/SW involved are the same ones he had directed in that previous First Fire attack.{96}

A7.53 A leader directs the Defensive First Fire of a squad and a MG and then directs First Fire attacks with the MG's ROF. During Subsequent First Fire, may he again direct the fire of the squad and MG?

A. Yes. {97}

A7.53-.531 & A10.72 These seem to imply that leader direction and the application of a leader's DRM can be declared independently of each other. Is this true?

A. No--the two are synonymous in all cases. However, if leader direction is used for an attack/action to whose DR/dr "triangle" applies, that leader's DRM/drm cannot apply to that DR/dr. {96}

A7.531 & A15.24 If a squad is ADJACENT to a friendly hero and those two units fire as a FG, may a Good Order leader stacked with the squad direct the attack?

A. No, because the hero is not in the same Location as the leader. {96}

A7.7 Can an ordnance hit on the Area Target Type be considered a hit for Encirclement purposes (as opposed to one on the Infantry Target Type)?

A. Yes. {96}

A7.7 Does the one level drop in morale suffered by encircled Personnel against any attacks also apply for other purposes, e.g. PAATC, Rally, etc.?

A. No. {96}

A7.7 May a unit climb out of Encirclement, or use a sewer or tunnel to exit Encirclement?

A. Yes to all (despite such movement requiring all of a unit's MF) and may even use the APh normally to enter a new Location, whereupon it would become Pinned and CX (as if having completed a Minimum Move-A4.134). {J1}

A7.72 If all the stairwells of a multi-story building have been rubbled, are units on the upper level(s) of that building Encircled?

A. Yes, except for units immune to "upper-level" Encirclement. {96}

A7.72 & B23.424 Is a unit with Scaling ability immune to "upper-level" Encirclement?

A. Yes, provided the unit is in Good Order and would not have to Scale to/past a Location containing a Blaze or unbroken, armed, unconcealed enemy unit. {96}

A7.8 Can a broken unit ever become pinned by any cause other than Interdiction or a Collapsed Hut PTC [G5.5 ] (e.g., via minefield or FFE attacks)?

A. No, and even during Interdiction the condition only lasts until the end of the RtPh. {97}

A7.831 Can a Leader that is pinned apply his leadership for ambush?

A. No. See errata for A11.4 {97}

A8.1, A24.31, C3.33 & C3.4 If ordnance Defensive First Fires WP at a Location that contains moving and non-moving units both friendly and enemy, which of them can be affected by a hit?

A. Only those that are both moving and hit, but regardless of whether they are friendly or enemy. {96}

A8.1 & A7.1 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A8.11 If the DEFENDER declines to use Defensive First Fire versus a unit after it moves into a certain hex and the ATTACKER subsequently announces that he has finished moving that unit, can the DEFENDER then change his mind and use Defensive First Fire (before another unit has physically moved)?

A. Yes. {96}

A8.14 If a unit expends two MF to enter a Location during its MPh and is First Fired on by a squad, must/can the latter use Subsequent First Fire vs that target before any other DEFENDER unit may use First Fire versus it?

A. The order of such attacks is up to the DEFENDER. {96}

A8.15 May a Snap Shot be made versus a unit that is exiting the playing area?

A. No. {96}

A8.15 If hexes G7, H7 and I7 in the illustration comprised a Level 1 hill, would both Snap Shots described in the example be subject to Height Advantage TEM?

A. Yes. {96}

A8.15 If a unit moves into a building (or other terrain feature) and undergoes (and survives) Defensive First Fire in that hex (utilizing the TEM of that terrain feature), can it then be fired at by a different unit using a Snap Shot as they entered that hex and therefore no TEM (or that of the rest of the hex)? Or must a Snap Shot be taken first before any fire at the unit while IN the terrain feature?

A. Yes. No. {J1}

A8.15 & A4.63 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A8.15 & A12.15 May a Snap Shot be made vs. a unit that has been forced back to its off-board hex by the mechanism of A12.15?

A. No. {97}

A8.15 & A23.3 Would a unit Placing a DC across an Open Ground hexside be subject to a Snap Shot?

A. No. {96}

A8.15 & B27.54 If Infantry is moving from beneath one Trench counter to directly beneath an adjacent one, does Trench TEM apply to any Snap Shot vs it?

A. Yes. {96}

A8.2 & B23.741 Does an attack from outside a Factory vs a Location of that Factory leave the same Residual FP as an attack of the same type and strength made from within the Factory, considering the different TEM applicable to the attacks? Which TEM applies to a Residual FP attack in a non-rooftop Factory Location?

A. Yes. Building TEM applies if the moving unit/stack is entering the Location by crossing a non-building hexside or Bypassing in the hex; otherwise, Factory TEM applies. [EXC: J2.23.] {96}

A8.2 If a concealed unit and a non-concealed unit move together as a stack and are attacked (with different FP because of the concealment), is the Residual FP based on the highest FP or the lowest FP used in the attack?

A. The highest. {J1}

A8.2 Is the Residual FP left by a Critical Hit based on the normal, not the doubled FP? Does an Area Target Type attack leave Residual FP based on half of the halved FP attack?

A. No, it is based on doubled FP. Yes, it is based on halved FP. {J1}

A8.2 Does a unit/its-vulnerable-PRC bypassing a buildings/woods Location containing Residual FP counter receive building/woods TEM for the Residual FP?

A. Yes [EXC: Deluxe (J2.231)]. {J1}

A8.22 A CE AFV moves and a squad chooses to attack it using Defensive First Fire. According to this rule, the General Collateral Attack leaves no Residual FP--true or false?

A. False. The Small Arms Attack is actually made versus the entire Location, and does leave Residual FP. The accompanying General Collateral Attack (vs. the PRC) caused by that attack does not leave Residual FP; see the last sentence of A.14B {96}

A8.26 Is Residual FP lowered by one IFT column if the firer is CX or being directed by a 6+1 leader?

A. Yes. {96}

A8.26 Residual FP with an Air Burst is increased by one column; but when it is resolved versus Infantry, does the +1 TEM for woods apply too?

A. Yes, the -1 TEM for Air Burst is already accounted for by the increase of Residual FP by one column. {96}

A8.3 & A9.21 If a MG's restricted CA prevents it from participating in its squad's Subsequent First Fire attack, must its use be forfeited as per A8.3?

A. Yes. {97}

A8.31 If a FG of ³ two units rolls an Original 2 (or 12) for its FPF attack, does each of those units make a Heat of Battle DR (or suffer a Casualty MC)?

A. No--use Random Selection. {96}

A8.31 & A7.353 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A8.312 Does "immediately" mean before any Residual-FP/minefield/OBA attack vs that ATTACKER? Before any DEFENDER in another Location fires at that ATTACKER? Before any attack versus any ATTACKER in another Location in the Impulse?

A. No. Yes. Yes. {96}

A9.21 & A8.3 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A9.22 May a MG counter suffering from Ammunition Shortage create a Fire Lane?

A. No, since A9.22 states that it must be in Good Order to do so (see the definition of "Good Order" in the Index). {96}

A9.22 May a Fire Lane be placed along a(n Alternate) Hex Grain that at the time of placement contains no moving enemy unit?

A. Only as per E1.71 (Bore-Sighted Fire Lane at night). {96}

A9.22 May a MG firing as ordnance (e.g., TH vs an AFV) also declare a fire lane?

A. Yes. {97}

A9.223 Must a Fire Lane attack be rolled even when the attack cannot get any result vs the moving enemy unit (e.g., a BU fully-armored AFV or an attack which receives too many positive DRM to be able to get any effect)?

A. No. {97}

A9.223 If a unit fires a MG to create a firelane and then uses its Inherent FP as SFF later, does this cancel the firelane?

A. A squad can fire its inherent FP as First Fire after previously firing only its MG to lay down a firelane. A HS that has laid down a firelane (or a squad that has both laid down a firelane and used its inherent FP as First Fire) cannot use SFF unless in a TPBF situation (which cancels the firelane). {97}

A9.223 Must a MG cancel its Fire Lane when a "unbroken" vehicle (A12.1) enters its Location (even if in Bypass)?

A. Yes, unless it is a BU CT AFV, in which case the MG/its-manning-infantry may cancel the Fire Lane to attack the AFV. {J1}

A9.5 & C8.4 If Spraying Fire (regardless of its source) or canister used vs > one Open Ground Location yields a 1KIA result, does the 1KIA apply separately in each such Location?

A. No, use Random Selection once for all targets eligible to receive the 1KIA in those Locations. (Each such target that Random Selection exempts from the 1KIA suffers a break result.) {96}

A9.52 & A7.34 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A9.52 & A7.52 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A9.61 Are Guns (including vehicular MA) of 12.7 Caliber Size treated as MG for TK purposes (D5.34)? Are .50 caliber SW MG?

A. No. Yes. {J1}

A9.72 & D10.5 Can a MMC attempt to Repair a SW and Scrounge a vehicle in the same RPh?

A. No; see A3.1. {96}

A9.73 Can a unit marked with a First Fire counter destroy a MG during the DFPh if there is an adjacent enemy unit? If there is no adjacent enemy unit?

A. Yes. No. {J1}

A9.8 May even one SMC dismantle or assemble a weapon?

A. Yes. {96}

A9.8 May a weapon that has fired and retained ROF be dismantled or assembled?

A. No [EXC: the Russian 82mm mortar after 1941].{97}

A9.8 Do dismantled malfunctioned weapons have the same Repair Number as if they were not dismantled?

A. Yes. {97}

A10.2 If an attack results in a 1MC and this causes the elimination of a leader, do the other units in the target Location take the 1MC before taking the required LLMC.

A. Of course. {96}

A10.2 Suppose an attack that causes a leader to break also causes his morale/leadership-modifier to be lowered by one due to ELR Replacement(A19.13). For purposes of determining which other Personnel units must take the LLTC and what DRM (based on the negative leadership modifier being reversed) to the LLTC will be, is the leader's "current" morale level and leadership modifier considered to be those he had before being Replaced/wounded?

A. No. {96}

A10.21 Re the last sentence of this rule: would a unit subjected to a LLMC/LLTC still have its Morale Level raised (A25.221) by an unbroken Commissar (or Japanese leader) currently in its Location?

A. Yes. {96}

A10.31 If a berserk/unarmed squad or an already-wounded hero suffers a Casualty MC, is it eliminated?

A. Yes. {96}

A10.31 If an unbroken 4-6-7 squad suffers a Casualty MC that also exceeds its ELR, does it undergo Replacement before or after Casualty Reduction?

A. It is first Replaced, then it suffers Casualty Reduction, then it becomes broken. {96}

A10.31 & A19.13 If an unbroken 6-5-8 SS squad (with its normal 5 ELR) suffers a Casualty MC that also exceeds its ELR, is it Replaced by a broken 3-4-8 SS HS?

A. Yes. {96}

A10.5 If a broken unit starts its RtPh in Open Ground in the LOS, but beyond the Normal Range, of a Known enemy unit that possesses a functioning SW or Gun, is that broken unit still forced to rout if it is within the Normal Range of that SW/Gun?

A. Yes, provided the unit possessing it is neither broken nor in Melee. For the Gun's Normal Range, see also A10.532. {96}

A10.5 May a Minimum Move be made during the RtPh?

A. No--Low Crawl must be used. {96}

A10.5 Is a leader always an armed unit? An AFV without functioning weapons? A shocked AFV? An abandoned AFV?

A. Yes (unless currently a prisoner), although without Normal Range. Yes. Yes (although without functioning MG armament--A11.51). No. {97} {The first parenthetical phrase has been modified from the original answer.}

A10.5 Is a shocked AFV an "unbroken and armed" unit that will force ADJACENT broken enemy units to rout away? A BU OT vehicle with only an AAMG?

A. Yes to both, if manned. {J1}

A10.51 ROUTING: In any scenario, a broken unit forced to rout but unable to reach a woods/building hex in that RtPh may rout to any terrain hex consistent with A10.51 but is not required to rout to the nearest woods/building hex. {F.1C}

A10.51 If a DM broken unit that must rout is within six MF of the nearest woods/building, must it attempt to reach that woods/building in a single RtPh?

A. Yes, unless it uses Low Crawl, but it need not take the shortest route (in hexes/MF) to do so. Even if it uses Low Crawl, however, it must still do so toward that woods/building (i.e., at no time may it increase the hex range between itself and that woods/building, and must end that RtPh closer to it than it was at the start of that phase). {96}

A10.51 A broken unit starts to rout toward the nearest building/woods hex, but during its rout the building/woods hex is not farther from a Known enemy unit than its present hex. Can the broken unit now choose to ignore the building/woods? Or must it continue to rout toward that target?

A. No. It must continue (assuming it is otherwise able to). {97}

A10.51 & A5.11 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A10.51 & A10.61 Are the rubble Locations of a partially rubbled building still considered building Locations for rout/rally purposes?

A. No. {96}

A10.531 Does an Infantry unit lose its "?" if it Assault-moves/advances into Open Ground (into a hex devoid of TEM and SMOKE, with no intervening Hindrance and no Height Advantage) in the LOS and within 16 hexes of a Good Order enemy ground unit, even if it is beyond the Normal Range of all such enemy units? Even if out of the CA of all Guns/AFV manned by those enemy units?

A. Yes to all. The viewing unit's Normal Range, CX status and Gun CA are irrelevant to "?" loss/gain. {96}

A10.531 May an Infantry unit in Open Ground (in a hex devoid of TEM and SMOKE, with no intervening Hindrances and no Height Advantage) three hexes away from a 6-2-8 declare a Dash across an ADJACENT road to another such Open Ground hex since, as per A10.531, those two hexes would be considered non-Open Ground due to their being beyond the 6-2-8's Normal Range?

A. No. The 6-2-8's Normal Range is irrelevant to the determination of whether or not those hexes are Open Ground. {96}

A10.531 Must a routing unit not using Low Crawl ignore an entrenchment and instead use the Open Ground cost in order to get to a woods/building hex in one RtPh?

A. No; as long as it is otherwise using the shortest path in MF, it may enter the entrenchment even though doing so would prevent it from reaching its rout hex in this RtPh. {97}

A10.531 & E3.1 Does an infantry unit lose its "?" if it Assault-Moves/advances into Open Ground (into a hex devoid of TEM and SMOKE, with no Height Advantage) in the LOS and within 16 hexes of a Good Order enemy ground unit if the only intervening Hindrance is a LV Hindrance?

A. Yes, unless the Hindrance is Fog (E3.311) or Winter Camouflage applies (E3.712). {J1}

A10.532 May a MTR Interdict using Spotted Fire?

A. No. {96}

A10.532 If a unit's/weapon's FP was halved in the preceding AFPh, does this prohibit it from Interdicting?

A. No, such halving does not carry over into the RtPh. {96}

A10.532 May a unit which has per A7.352, 7.353 or 9.11 "lost" its Inherent FP until the CCPh (or the end of the Player Turn) still interdict in the RtPh?

A. Yes. {96}

A10.532 May an Encircled unit Interdict?

A. No {97}

A10.64 If a squad's Rally DR is an "Original 12", can that DR (given sufficient negative DRM) still rally the surviving HS?

A. No--an Original 12 DR never rallies a unit. {96}

A10.71 May a leader who is rallied by another leader then attempt to rally others in that same RPh?

A. Yes {96}

A10.8 & A1.32 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A11.14 If two SMC combine their inherent FP (without a MMC) in CC, do they Automatically defend together as a single stack? Or can their opponents single out one of them for an individual CC attack?

A. They defend as a single stack. {96}

A11.14 If two SMC attack/Withdraw together, must they defend together?

A. Yes. {96}

A11.14 & A18.12 If a MMC both attacks and is attacked in simultaneous CC, and in its own CC attack it rolls an "Original 2" and creates a leader, what effect does that leader have on those two CC attacks?

A. Unless one or both sides Withdraw(s) due to Infiltration (A11.22), both attacks must be resolved using both of the same Original DR and the new leader's Inherent-FP/leadership just as if he had been present all along. Note that if the "2" DR that allowed leader creation was made for > one MMC engaging in a combined attack, Random Selection must be used to determine which MMC that leader will defend with. {96}

A11.141 May a leader direct the CC attack of one other SMC only?

A. Yes. {96}

A11.15 If a concealed unit in a Melee Location loses its "?", is it immediately in Melee?

A. Yes, after resolving all effects of the action that caused it to lose its "?". {96}

A11.15 & B8.41 If you have a concealed unit in the same building Location with an enemy unit (not in CC), can the concealed unit enter the sewer in that hex without suffering Defensive First Fire (since it expends no MF)?

A. Yes. {96}

A11.16 Does a Disrupted unit in Melee remain in Melee or is it eliminated for Failure to Rout?

A. It is eliminated for Failure to Rout if still Disrupted and in Melee at the end of that CCPh. {96}

A11.17 If a stealthy unit (regardless of type or nationality) loses Good Order status, is it still stealthy?

A. No (i.e. not until it is in Good Order again). {96}

A11.18, A15.4 & E1.53 BERSERK: A berserk unit is always Lax (even in daytime) but is not subject to Straying. {E1.533}

A11.2, A11.22, & A19.12 May a Disrupted unit attempt to Withdraw from CC/Melee?

A. No. {96}

A11.31 & C13.7 Can a player make his ATMM availability dr before declaring the order of his CC attacks versus a vehicle?

A. No. {96}

A11.4: AMBUSH: ...whenever a hidden unit is placed onboard as per A11.19, an Ambush can occur. {G.4}

A11.4, A12.122, A12.154 & A16.2 Can a player decline the use of a poor leadership modifier in an Ambush dr if the leader is not alone?

A. No; neither may he decline its use for Concealment (A12.122), Search Casualties (A12.154), nor an Integrity Check (A16.2 ). {97}

A11.4 & A15.432 If a Russian Berserk MMC enters into CC in an enemy-occupied building Location during its MPh, can Russian units who advance into the CC Location that same Player Turn cause an Ambush to possibly occur (since they are not reinforcing a Melee)?

A. Yes. {96}

A11.4 Since a unit IN a pillbox that is screened by a friendly unit in the hex outside the pillbox cannot be attacked in CC (B30.6), would it figure into any Ambush calculations?

A. No. {J1}

A11.41 If a force qualifies for an Ambush, can part of the force decline CC (by Ambush Withdrawal), while part of the force attacks the enemy units in CC?

A. Yes. {96}

A11.41 Can't Ambush Withdrawal be made to another Location within the CC hex that is Accessible?

A. Yes. {96}

A11.41 & A11.8 May Infantry using Street Fighting CC withdraw?

A. Only if they actually Ambush (A11.4) the vehicle in the CCPh. (Although they qualify for all the other benefits of Ambush, unless they actually Ambush the enemy, Infantry Street Fighting in a road hex must return to the building hex from where they came and Infantry Street Fighting a vehicle in Bypass remain in the Bypassed obstacle. Likewise, no Ambush benefit accrues to Street Fighting Infantry who are Ambushed.) {97}

A11.41 & B8.4 May a concealed unit that qualifies for Ambush Withdraw into a sewer Location?

A. No, because withdrawal occurs during the CCPh, while sewer movement occurs only during the MPh (which means that the sewer Location is not Accessible as defined in the Index). {96}

A11.52 How does Infantry capture an armed and manned unarmored vehicle?

A. Assuming the vehicle is Stopped, the attacking unit applies a +1 Capture Attempt DRM to its CC DR (in addition to other applicable DRM). If it captures the vehicle, it may man it as per A21.22; the captured crew becomes unarmed, and a prisoner if the captor side can Guard it. (If that vehicle is not manned, it may be captured as per the second sentence of A11.52.) {96}

A11.62 May a vehicle with turreted 12.7 MA (e.g. U.S. M16 MGMC Halftrack) or one with a turreted 15mm MA (e.g. British Mk VIC) use it in CC? One with turreted 20L MA with IFE?

A. Yes, use its IFE FP as if it were CMG FP. No. {J1}

A11.622 May a unit being attacked by a Nahverteidigungswaffe claim a TEM?

A. No. {96}

A11.7 Does a shocked/UK AFV hold opposing Infantry in Melee? A Stunned one?

A. Yes, if manned. Yes. {J1}

A11.7 Does an armed but unarmored vehicle hold opposing Infantry in Melee? Is it held in Melee? Is an Immobile vehicle held in Melee? Are its Passengers/Riders?

A. Yes. No. No. No. {J1}

A11.8 & D7.211 May Street Fighting CC Reaction Fire be used by a unit marked with a First Fire counter?

A. No, see Errata for A11.8. {97}

A11.8 & A11.41 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A12.11 If a concealed stack is already in an Open Ground hex, and an enemy unit moves within 16 hexes of it and gets it in LOS, is that stack automatically revealed if it is a Dummy stack?

A. No. A "?" can exist in Open Ground in LOS of enemy units provided they perform no concealment-loss activity. {96}

A12.11 May a concealed stack comprising a "?", MMG and MMC split into two concealed stacks, one containing the MMG and the other the MMC?

A. No--an unpossessed SW cannot gain/retain a Concealment counter. {96}

A12.11 May a Dummy stack comprising three "?" be split into two stacks of two "?" each? If yes, what happens when they recombine into one stack?

A. Yes. One stack must lose one of its "?". {96}

A12.11 & A12.2 If a scenario OB gives a side a number of "?" counters, can the player choose 5/8-inch "?" counters even if the OB pictures only a 1/2-inch "?" counter?

A. Yes. {96}

A12.11 & B28.41 May dummies enter/exit friendly hidden minefields without revealing either themselves or the minefield?

A. No. {97}

A12.12 When one side begins with all forces offboard, the opponent may conceal all his onboard units. In this situation, may he place a "?" on an already-concealed unit (including a Dummy stack)?

A. No. {96}

A12.12 If a player's OB contains a number of "?", may he place one of them beneath a Personnel/vehicle unit during his setup?

A. No. {96}

A12.12 & A12.122 If an Infantry unit possessing a Gun/Horse counter makes a Concealment dr, which US#--the Infantry's or the Gun/Horse's--applies as a drm?

A. The Gun/Horse's. However, if the Infantry is Stealthy or Lax, that drm would apply as well. {96}

A12.12-.121, A12.2, B13.31, B14.6 Is a vehicle that sets up in a woods-road (or orchard-road) hex considered to be in Concealment Terrain?

A. Yes, for the purposes of placing OB-designated "?" (A12.12) and of using SSR-allowed HIP--but thereafter it is considered to be on the road (B13.31) and thus in Open Ground to a clear LOS traced to it along the road. {96}

A12.122 Can overstacked Good Order Infantry gain concealment if in LOS of an unbroken enemy ground unit greater than 16 hexes away?

A. If in Concealment Terrain, they could roll for concealment if the unbroken enemy unit was not good order. {J1}

A12.122, A11.4, A12.154, & A16.2 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A12.14 Can a Sniper attack cause loss of concealment to all units in its target Location or just to the unit(s) actually attacked therein?

A. To the unit(s) actually attacked, and to any that break due to a LLMC caused by that sniper attack. {96}

A12.14 This rule says that a player may remove any concealment from a friendly unit(s) at any time. In this context, would it be legal for him to reveal a hidden unit in order to "draw off" a sniper attack that otherwise would have occurred vs. some other unit?

A. No. A unit may not be voluntarily revealed in the time between when a Target Hex DR (A14.2) is made and the Sniper counter is relocated. {96}

A12.14 Do Task Checks cause loss of "?" if within 16 hexes in LOS of a Good Order enemy ground unit?

A. Yes, except for PAATC and the NTC to detonate a Set DC.{97}

A12.14 & B23.71 For the purposes of "?" loss, is a concealed unit moving/advancing from one rowhouse hex to another via "rowhouse bypass" (B23.71) considered to be in Open Ground at the vertex?

A. Yes, via a clear LOS to that vertex. {96}

A12.14 & C1.82 If a Concealed stack containing dummy counters is attacked by Bombardment on the IFT with a result of a PTC or greater, are the dummy counters eliminated?

A. A K/KIA eliminates the stack; otherwise the dummy owner declares how many DRs more than one he will make, using Morale 7; failure of a MC by any dummy reveals all dummies in that stack. {97}

A12.141 Is dropping a SW or taking a NTC to detonate a Set DC a concealment-loss activity? Is Placing a DC (or attempting to place SMOKE grenades) a "?"-loss activity even if the unit is using Assault Movement?

A. No. Yes. {96}

A12.141 Is a Clearance attempt a continuous concealment loss activity until it is rolled for?

A. Yes. {97}

A12.141 Are LLTC/LLMC considered actions for case C concealment purposes? ? Is triggering Mopping-Up casualties?

A. Yes. No. {97}

A12.15 In a night scenario, would zero NVR affect Detection?

A. Only in that whenever the moving ATTACKER's NVR is zero (regardless of the concealed DEFENDER's NVR), that ATTACKER unit/stack would not be returned to its just-exited Location, thus making it vulnerable to TPBF from that DEFENDER unit/stack. If attacked by the DEFENDER in the latter's Location, that ATTACKER unit/stack cannot leave that Location in the current MPh (mark the units with a CC counter). {96}

A12.15 & A8.15 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A12.15 & A15.431 Suppose an Infantry unit attempts to enter a Location containing a hidden enemy unit and is therefore returned to the previously occupied hex, but then goes berserk during the Defensive First Fire. Can it charge back into the previously hidden unit's hex during that MPh?

A. Yes, as long as the unit is subject to Defensive First Fire it has not ended its MPh, so it can become berserk in the hex it was returned to and consequently continue movement with any remaining MF. {96}

A12.151 & B23.922 If a unit/stack is forced by Detection to return to the hex it was attempting to exit, but cannot end its MPh in this hex (e.g., because it had Bypassed a Fortified building therein that contains a hidden/concealed enemy squad), what happens to it?

A. It is considered to be in Bypass (on the last hexside it Bypassed along) in the hex it is returned to, and is there subject to Defensive-First/Residual-Fire/mines, etc. (in any) in the normal manner--after which Detection applies again, forcing it back yet another hex. {96}

A12.152 May a unit in an A-P minefield Location conduct a Search?

A. Yes, but the presence of the minefield allows the DEFENDER to make a Casualty dr (A12.154). {96}

A12.152 May a unit Search its own hex?

A. A Search automatically includes its own hex. Moreover, the Searcher's hex cannot be counted as a hex that may not be Searched. {96}

A12.152 Can Searching reveal tunnel entrances?

A. No. {96}

A12.152 Can Searching reveal the contents of Locations that are not Accessible?

A. Yes, as long as one Location in the hex is Accessible. {J1}

A12.152 & O6.1 If a building hex with a RB Cellar is Searched from ground level, is that RB Cellar Location considered Searched too?

A. Yes. {96}

A12.153 Are units attempting to Mop Up a building required to be within two hexes of any completely rubbled hexes of the building? Of any Blaze hexes of the building?

A. No. No. {96}

A12.153 Would a Fortified Building Location containing an unpinned, Good Order enemy squad be considered Accessible despite the fact that the searching unit could not enter it in the APh?

A. Yes. {97}

A12.154 If a leader applies his leadership factor to a Search, is he vulnerable to the effects of a Search Casualty should the Search reveal a Concealed unit?

A. Yes. {96}

A12.154 If more than one Searched Location contains anything that can cause Search casualties, is one Search Casualty dr made for each such Location?

A. No; only one such dr can be made per Search dr. {96}

A12.2 If the Location containing a concealed AFV in the LOS of a Good Order enemy ground unit is subjected to a non-ordnance attack that results in at least a PTC result on the IFT, does the AFV lose its "?"

A. Only if the attack is OBA, and/or if the AFV is CE. {96}

A12.2 If a concealed vehicle becomes abandoned, may it retain (or later regain) concealment?

A. It may retain its "?" (if otherwise allowed to), but once unconcealed cannot regain a "?" while abandoned. {96}

A12.2 Do 5/8" dummies lose concealment as if they were Infantry or as if they were a vehicle?

A. Except when moving, 5/8" dummies are treated the same as 1/2" dummies (i.e., Infantry) for concealment loss purposes. {97}

A12.33 & B9.21 Since LOS is reciprocal, B9.21 seems to imply that a hidden entrenchment directly behind a wall/hedge cannot be seen across that wall/hedge by a non-adjacent, same-level unit. Is this correct?

A. No, the required LOS to the entrenchment's Location is all that is necessary to reveal it. {96}

A12.34 During setup, if a player places a unit with LOS to an Emplaced, HIP enemy Gun not in Concealment terrain, when is the Gun placed onboard under the "?" ? Can HIP be lost during set-up, or not until all forces have finished their setup?

A. At the start of the first RPh. After setup. {97}

A12.34 If an Emplaced Gun sets up HIP, does the manning crew/HS also set up HIP? May the manning crew/HS of a HIP Emplaced Gun possess non-inherent support weapons?

A. Yes. No. {J1}

A13.31 May Infantry mount a Horse counter that has already moved during the MPh?

A. No. {96}

A13.7 May broken Infantry "lead" horses during the RtPh?

A. No. {96}

A14.1 For SAN purposes, which Player makes MC/TC/Entrenchment DR for prisoners?

A. No Player is considered to control the prisoners, and no Sniper Activation will occur. {96}

A14.2 If some/all of the possible targets of a sniper attack in a Location are concealed, how does the sniper player determine its target(s)?

A. First, if the eligible possible targets include both concealed and unconcealed units, treat the concealed stack as one possible target (regardless of how many units it actually contains) for Random Selection purposes. Then, if (or whenever) a concealed stack is chosen as the sniper's target, the sniper player's opponent must declare the number (only) of eligible possible targets that stack contains. If it contains none (i.e., is a Dummy stack), it is automatically eliminated (A14.3). If it contains one, that unit is attacked. If it contains two or more, the sniper player rolls for Random Selection accordingly. {96}

A14.21 If two building hexes/Locations of the same wooden or stone construction type are equidistant possible sniper targets but, unknown to the sniper player, one of them is Fortified, can/must the opponent declare that Fortified status to increase its TEM?

A. He may do so. {96}

A14.21 Is the CE DRM considered an "in-hex TEM" for Sniper alternate target selection purposes?

A. No. {J1}

A14.22 & A15.42 Since berserk units can't be pinned or broken, are they still eligible targets for Sniper attacks?

A. Yes, they will ignore pin results, but if broken they will suffer Casualty Reduction instead. {96}

A15.2 May a Hero rout with broken troops?

A. Only if it is also a leader. {96}

A15.2 This rule says a hero never goes berserk. Rule A15.41 says that when a leader goes berserk he must attempt to change any friendly units in his Location to berserk status; and A25.223 says that if a Commissar goes berserk, all friendly Infantry in the same Location automatically becomes berserk. Can any type of leader who goes berserk cause a hero to become berserk?

A. No. Nor can they cause any other unit (including inherent and Temporary crews) that is immune to Heat of Battle to go berserk. {96}

A15.2 If a pinned unit creates (or becomes) a Hero, is that Hero pinned?

A. No. {96}

A15.2 If a broken leader becomes Heroic, does he automatically rally too?

A. Yes--a Hero can never be broken. {96}

A15.2 & A17.11 If an already wounded Hero fails a MC, is he eliminated or only wounded again?

A. He is eliminated. {96}

A15.2 & A20.54 If a hero or an unarmed MMC enters a Frigid Water Obstacle without a bridge, would this cause it to suffer Casualty Reduction since such units never break?

A. Yes. {96}

A15.21 & A18.2 If a hero/leader is created from a Fanatic unit, is that SMC Fanatic too?

A. Yes. Note, however, that a Heat of Battle DR that results in both the Battle Hardening of, and the creation of a hero from, a non-Fanatic MMC does not create a Fanatic hero (because the hero was not created from a Fanatic unit; rather, the Fanaticism and Hero Creation occurred simultaneously). {96}

A15.22 & A17.2 Does the A15.22 penalty (being Pinned if wounded during its MPh after having expended 3 MF) apply to non-Heroic SMC?

A. Yes. {96}

A15.23 Does a hero using a SW that normally requires two men to operate fire it at full FP (aside from PBF, Long Range, etc.)? If yes, could he instead opt to fire it using Area Fire and the -1 Heroic DRM but not the extra +1 DRM?

A15.41 A 9-2, 8-1 and 4-6-7 are in the same Location, and the 8-1 becomes berserk. What happens to the other units?

A. The 9-2 must take his NTC next, using the berserk leader's -1 DRM (but not his own -2 DRM; A10.7). If the 9-2 becomes berserk, the squad then takes its NTC using his -2 DRM. If he does not become berserk, the squad still takes its NTC but is subject to the DRM of the 8-1 only. {96}

A15.42 Regarding the last sentence of this rule, may a Good Order leader direct the IFT attack of a berserk unit? Even if the latter is part of a same-Location FG containing a Good Order unit?

A. No to both. {96}

If it eliminates the SMC, the MMC returns to normal (A15.46) and may continue its MPh if otherwise able and allowed to do so. {96}

A. 9-1. 10-0. {97}

A19.131 What happens to a squad with underlined morale and a 5 ELR if it rolls an "Original 12" IFT DR while afflicted by Ammunition Shortage?

A. It is Replaced by its two unbroken HS. {96}

A19.131 If a lone MMC on a side suffering from Ammunition Shortage attacks with only a non-captured SW and rolls an Original 12 IFT DR, does the MMC itself suffer Replacement?

A. No, only the SW is affected (i.e., it is eliminated). {96}

A20.21 & A19.12 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A20.21 If during its RtPh a broken Infantry unit is ADJACENT to a Known, Good Order and armed enemy Infantry/Cavalry unit but for any reason is unable to rout away from it, does the broken unit surrender or is it eliminated for Failure to Rout? Assume that No Quarter is not in effect.

A. It surrenders. {96}

A20.21 When a stack of units must surrender during the RtPh, do they do so simultaneously or one unit at a time?

A. Simultaneously, and they must be accepted or rejected as a stack. {96}

A20.21 If a broken unit is ADJACENT to a Known, Good Order, armed infantry unit and has a legal rout path which would not be subject to interdiction, may it instead ignore that rout path and take interdiction (or use Low Crawl) if otherwise allowed by the rout rules?

A. Yes. {97}

A20.21 If the only possible guarding unit is too small to guard all of a surrendering stack (e.g. 2 broken squads surrendering to a SMC), what happens to the "excess" surrendering units?

A. Once all surrendering units in the Location have been accepted, the guarding player decides which units (within his means) he will guard. The remaining unarmed units are under the control of the opposing player. See A20.5. {J1}

A20.3 If No Quarter is in effect and a broken unit must rout but cannot, may the opponent opt to accept it in surrender?

A. No--it is eliminated for Failure to Rout. {96}

A20.5 If a Guard forces a prisoner to attempt Entrenchment or to clear rubble/Flame/road-block, is the Guard automatically considered to be TI? Is the Guard considered to be using Hazardous Movement if it is forcing the prisoner to attempt to clear rubble/roadblocks? Does the Guard have to expend MF to force a prisoner to attempt rubble clearance?

A. Yes. Yes. Yes. {96}

A20.5 If a crew is captured, an unarmed HS counter is substituted for it. However, doing so makes it impossible to tell whether the unit is worth one or two VP. Should an unarmed HS counter's ID be noted on a side record if it represents a crew?

A. Yes. {96}

A20.54 If a Guard and its prisoner both undergo a MC, what are the possible outcomes of Pin results?

A. A prisoner is not subject to pinning directly. However, if its Guard pins, then the prisoner automatically becomes pinned too. A non-prisoner, unarmed unit is subject to pinning in the normal manner. {96}

A20.54 May an unarmed vehicle (e.g., a jeep with only the inherent driver) enter a Known enemy occupied hex?

A22.611 & A7.353 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A22.612 Is a MOL TK attempt negated if the Original colored dr of the TK DR is a "6"?

A. Yes--and the A22.611 effects of the "6" dr apply too. {96}

A22.612 Does the -2 reduction to the basic TK# for MOL vs. Moving/Motion vehicle apply to a Stopped vehicle that qualifies as a Moving Target per C.8? To a Non-Stopped vehicle that is not a Moving Target?

A. Yes. No. {96}

A. No. {96}

A23.3 A hero moves into a woods hex (2 MF) and places a DC in an adjacent woods hex (total 4 MF), but is then wounded by Defensive First Fire. Is the DC placed?

A. No, the hero is Pinned (A15.22). {J1}

A23.3 If a unit goes Berserk (A15.431) as a result of First Fire for the MF(s) it uses to Place a DC, is the DC Placed successfully?

A. Yes. {J1}

A23.3 & A8.15 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

A23.4 If a unit operably Places a DC, and then declares Double time to gain one MF, does the +1 CX DRM still apply to the DC's attack? If a DC is operably Placed on a concealed target, but that target loses its "?" prior to the DC's detonation, is the DC attack still resolved as Area Fire (A23.1)?

A. No. Yes. {96}

A23.4 & C7.346 If a CX unit Places/Throws a DC versus an AFV, does the +1 CX DRM apply to the DC's Position or TK DR?

A. To the Position DR only. {96}

A23.6 If a DC is thrown across a wall hexside, can the wall's TEM affect the DR of the attack on the target Location? ... of the Thrower's Location?

A. Yes, to both. {96}

A23.6 May a DC be Thrown from an upper building level to the in-LOS, ground level Location of an adjacent hex? Can either/both Effects DR for a Thrown DC cause its malfunction?

A. Yes. No, only the first such DR. {96}

A23.6 May a unit Throw a DC into an upper-level Location of an adjacent building hex? Across a cliff hexside to a higher location?

A. Only if ADJACENT. No. {96}

A23.7 Assume a squad, assisted by a leader, Sets a DC. Is that leader qualified to detonate it? If that squad later Deploys, will both of its HS be qualified to detonate it?

A23.7 Is the FP of a Set DC halved versus a concealed unit?

A. Yes. {96}

A23.7 May a Set DC be detonated during the opponent's MPh? If yes, does it leave Residual FP?

A23.71 How does a Set DC (not in a bridge Location) affect an AFV?

A. It doesn't attack the AFV itself, but does attack any Vulnerable PRC in/on it. Otherwise, it can affect the AFV only via Rubble-creation. {96}

A24.1 & B20.93-.94 Since SMOKE grenades may be placed into (and a FG may be formed with a unit in) an ADJACENT Location, may a squad on a Wire counter or in Crest status place SMOKE grenades into, or from a FG with a unit in, an adjacent hex?
