Video games often have things players can uncover during play that may not have any effect on the game but are still fun to find, called "Easter Eggs." ASL has a variation of this; the rule that is found in an unexpected place. For example, in a recent thread I learned that the TEM of an entrenchment can be reduced by an elevation advantage the same way the TEM of a wall/hedge can be. While the rule is there in plain sight (B9.33, last sentence), there is no mention of it in the rules for Entrenchment.
Another example that most of us know thanks to the many articles and threads about VBM-Freeze; a vehicle in bypass is subject to Street Fighting even if there is no street involved. This is not mentioned in the rules for VBM. A search of the rules for VBM would not find this, and in a situation that did not include a vehicle on a road between two buildings, a player may not think to look up Street Fighting when faced with a vehicle in VBM.
What other hidden gems like this have you found in the ASLRB?
