The Russians control building O9/P8/P9. Finns advance units into P8 and O9.
During the CCPh, the Finnish player chooses to resolve P8 first. Both the Finns and the Russians are destroyed. The Finnish player then resolved O9: both the Finnish infantry and the Russian tank survive, and a melee forms in the hex.
Did the Finnish player gain control of building O9? It seems that he might have in the moment after P8 was resolved but before O9 was resolved. The vehicle in O9 will not prevent the Finns from taking control of the building, since it is in bypass, per A26.11.
@ppalma3010 and I couldn't see anything in the rule book that would prevent the Finns from doing so. The halfsquad in O9 isn't in melee yet, because he just advanced in and hasn't resolved CC yet, so I believe he is still good order and would gain control of the building.
It seems pretty weird to me, though, that if you resolved O9 first, and locked the Finnish squad in melee, then the same result in P8 would have led to the Russians keeping control of the building, since there would be no Good Order Finns left to take control.
Are we misunderstanding a rule?
