10.711 VOLUNTARY ROUT: A non-berserk, non-pinned leader already stacked with a broken unit before it routs may elect to rout with the broken unit even though he is not broken. If he does so, the leader shares the broken unit's vulnerability to Interdiction and, although he does not have to take any Interdiction NMC himself, he is eliminated if the broken unit he is stacked on top of fails an Interdiction MC. He must remain with the broken unit throughout the RtPh, but is not considered broken and may add his leadership DRM to its Interdiction NMC. The leader, if already in possession of a SW, may portage it, but cannot improve the broken unit's portage capacity.
I routed a 9-1 leader with a pair of brokies into interdiction (something I hadn't done before -- but things were lategame desperate and they needed to make the trees rather than lowcrawl and avoid interdiction). I found myself less than certain about how to resolve this, with the following questions occuring:
1. Is routing a stack ok? They obviously could rout one at a time -- but in the past I've routed multiple brokies from the same point of origin as a stack as a time saver and no one has ever complained -- but is it strictly correct by the book to rout stacked brokies together?
2. So if indeed routing all these folks together is allowed. When they are interdicted each broken unit makes a separate MC and -- the Leadership modifer assists both broken units' MC? -- or just the one it is 'stacked on top of'? -- or none? I played it as assisting both.
3. When the unit that the Leader is stacked on top of receives a Pin result: the brokie halts his rout and the leader stacked with him "who shares his vulnerability to interdiction" must stop with him. (Right?) As the brokie gets no Pin counter I played it the Leader is not marked with a PIN counter either. Is that correct (It doesn't matter a whole lot, but if the leader is in a position to be advanced on for CC it could be consequential).
TIA
