For Green personnel, does being "stacked with" an unbroken leader cancel out the following penalties *even if* the leader does not participate in the attack subject to those penalties:
(a) A19.32 SW B# penalty.​
EX: A leader and a Green squad armed with a LMG are stacked together in a hex. The squad uses the MG to make an attack, but the attack is *not* directed by the leader. Is the B# of the MG worsened by 1?​
(b) A19.33 Cowering penalty.​
EX: A leader and a Green squad are stacked together in a hex. The squad makes a small-arms attack *not* directed by the leader and rolls "doubles". Is the FP column used in the attack shifted by 2 columns?​
(c) A19.34 PAATC penalty and CCV penalty.​
EX: A leader, a 1st-line and a Green squad are stacked together in a hex. The two squads must each roll a PAATC to advance into CC with an enemy AFV. Is the Green squad subject to the 1PAATC penalty?​
Both squads pass the PAATC and attack the AFV. The leader assists the 1st-line squad's attack. Is the Green squad's CCV reduced by 1?​
(d) A19.35 Capture penalty.​
EX: A leader, a 1st-line squad and a Green squad are stacked together in a hex, and all are subject to attacks in CC. The leader defends with the 1st-line squad vs. one attack, and the Green squad is the sole defender vs. another attack. Is the Green squad subject to the -1 DRM for a capture attempt?​
(e) A19.36 Lax penalties.​
EX: A leader and a Green squad are stacked together in a hex during a Night scenario. The units are subject to straying, but will not be moving together in a stack. Is the Green squad considered Lax for the Straying DR?​

The leader exempts the squad in each (a)-(e) situation, so the answer to each EX is "No."




Finally, is a leader who is unbroken but not Good Order still eligible to cancel any Inexperienced Personnel penalties?

Yes. [I don't think there are any instances in ASLSK where this distinction in this rule is meaningful.]

Apologies for any previous answers that may conflict with this one.
