If a leader is created during CC by a (Fanatic) Russian MMC in a Factory Location, does the leader remain Fanatic, even if it subsequently leaves the Factory? IOW, is its Fanaticism permanent?
A15.21 & A18.2
If a hero/leader is created from a Fanatic unit, is that SMC Fanatic too?
A. Yes. Note, however, that a Heat of Battle DR that results in both Battle Hardening of, and the creation of a hero from, a non-Fanatic MMC does not create a Fanatic hero (because the hero was not created from a Fanatic unit; rather the Fanaticism and Hero Creation occurred simultaneously).

CG11. RUSSIAN FANATICISM:
Each non-prisoner Russian Personnel unit in a Factory hex [EXC: if in a Sewer Location, or if currently in Bypass]is considered Fanatic (A10.8).17 If entering from outside the Factory it becomes Fanatic immediately, prior to all Defensive First Fire against it. If wishing to advance out of a Factory in order to CC an AFV, it need not take a PAATC since it is Fanatic when required to take it. A Russian unit already Fanatic receives no further benefit. Rubble occurring in an original Factory hex is still considered part of that Factory for purposes of this rule.
