Here's a RFP question based on a situation that occurred during my ongoing game with Reepicheep.

Situation: 4-6-7 w/LMG First Fires (w/o leadership) & declaring a firelane. Generally this leaves 2RFP in the target hex and establishes a 1FP firelane.

The DR is: 2,2 :angry:, a cower result. No FL is placed, attack is reduced to the 4 column, and squad/LMG are marked w/Final Fire.

What RFP is placed? 2RFP (1/2 of 4FP) or 1FP (1/2 of Squad FP only and discounting the LMG since it was trying to place a FL)?

For what its worth: We played that both squad & LMG contributed to RFP figuring that the LMG FP had to "go" somewhere, but looking for opinions.

Thanks,
Mark

Tough question. I'm with you (but then, I just got blown out of the water by a Perry Sez on the ASLML, and I haven't checked for any on this, so what does my opinion count for? :) )

Perry's Inbox is...?

Thanks Chris - hey I trust you since you're with me. Too bad Perry Sez's aren't done by popular vote though.

So how does one go about getting a Perry Sez? This may be one for his inbox.

You drop him an email, preferably in a format that can be answered by a simple yes or no. Alternatively, there's a web-based submission form at the MMP website. The email address is:

1 Residual is the answer

It's one residual FP. Since you were going for a firelane the MG doesn't count, just the squad. The squad's FP cowers from 4 to 2, thus yielding only 1 residual.

No firelane attempt would have netted 2 residual.
