Hi All,
In a current CG of Barricades a question came up with differences in rule interpretation regarding assault movement into an OG hex to engage units therein in CC.
I had always believed that a unit that ADV into an OG hex to engage in CC looses his ? immediately for doing so during the Adv phase, thus he is NOT concealed for the upcoming CC phase, and therefore does not qualify for Ambush.
Just spent the morning trying to sort this out, but it is not as clear as I would like it to be, and one could argue the opposite interpretation as the rules do not appear to be crystal clear. Surprise surprise!
My main argument is as follows and is how I had always played:
According to the A12.121 Conceal Loss/gain chart; Infantry in the LOS of a good order unit and in ? Terrain loose their ? On a ABCD which I read as condition A or cond B or cond C or cond D.
Section A is where you loose ? when attacking, and specifically mentions ambush, so far my opponent would be correct
However,
B reads (shortened) Units looses concelament "if moves/advances/withdraws into an OG hex".
I would argue that the second case would mean the unit ADV into an OG hex regardless of the upcoming CC would loose ?, and therefore NOT qualify for ambush in the upcoming CC phase.
Is my interpretation correct? and is there any further text/examples to clear this up.
Thanks,
Blake
