I thought NO relying on B31.11 "Dashing (A4.63) across/along, as well as routing along, a Narrow Street is NA."
There is also a footnote explaining the rationale: "Footnote #9 DASHING/ROUTING: Dashing across/along a Narrow Street is NA mainly to prevent any conflict between the rules for First Fire vs a Dashing unit and those for Snap Shots. Routing along a Narrow Street is NA because a routing unit may not Bypass (A4.3). " I also draw a distinction between a Road and a Narrow Street, considering them separate terrain to which different rules apply.
But my opponent, who I will be the first to admit is much smarter and far better at the rules than I argued it is allowed. Here is my good faith attempt at summarizing his argument:
Dash applicability: A4.63 "...moves from an non-Open Ground Location on one side of the road directly into the road and then directly into a non-Open Ground Location on the other side of the road..." and B31.1"A Narrow street is is represented by a road depiction overprinting >= one hexside" and B3.11"A unit bypassing along a Narrow Street is always assumed to be on the road within its hex-...". All of this to say a Road exists by definition as well as depiction and therefore a Dash is allowed. I probably mangled that argument and hope he jumps in to present it the way it was intended.
Help me out everyone, it won't be the first time I've played something wrong for years, but is dashing along a Narrow Street allowed?
