Hi
My esteemed opponent and I have a disagreement on the following situation regarding "?" loss. See attached map.
It is the American MPh. The concealed squad in J3 declares NAM and enters J2, keeping its "?" counter. The German squad in D1 hopes there may be a LOS and requests a free LOS to try and strip the Ami "?". What is the correct sequence.
My belief is that the LOS is strung. If LOS exists, the German has to then momentarily forfeit its "?" to reveal it is a real unit. The American unit will then lose "?". If there is no LOS, the German player has to reveal nothing and the American continues on his way still concealed.
My opponent feels the sequence is that the German unit has to momentarily drop its "?" to show a real unit prior to stringing the LOS.
To me this seems wrong because if there is NO LOS then the Ami has gained info on the German player, despite the lack of LOS.
Who is correct?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
