Ambush and Sequential CC

[_Fury_]

Hi All,

Infantry advances into a location already by-pass-sleazed by a friendly AFV. Amazingly, the attacker (vehicle side) achieves ambush. Am I right in assuming that the attacker now resolves all attacks before the defender and sequential CC is out the window? That is, A11.32 supercedes A11.31 since higher rule number?

Thanks!

You are correct! A11.32 is probably clear enough in this regard, but you also have 11.34 to solidify your position:

11.34 Should more than one sequential combat criterion occur in the same CC, the highest numbered rule takes precedence.​

​

Note, especially, the EXample:

​

EX: Should an Ambush occur in a CC Location containing a vehicle, the ambushing side gets to resolve all of its CC attacks in that Location first during that CCPh. In any subsequent CCPh, the players would alternate sequential attacks.​

Those have got to be some pretty sneaky guys to ambush even when one of their own AFVs are in the hex......possible, but P-R-E-T-T-Y damn sneaky.....

Well, the opponent are concentrated on the AFV and didn't see the infantry sneaking on them.

I once advanced a stealthy Jpn concealed HS onto a broken British squad in Kunai.

Lost ambush, he withdrew, routed away next turn and I lost the scenario by one CVP point.

-2 for the Japanese (-2 concealed, -1 stealthy, +1 ATTACKER in Kunai), +1 for British (broken), assume Japanese roll 6 and the British 1, that's a final 4 Japanese vs 2 British. The British would have to be stealthy too, or perhaps the Japanese CX.

Night attack maybe

No, the ATTACKER can be two less than the DEFENDER to get ambush but not the reverse [E1.77]. The change for night is not symmetrical. Here the broken unit is clearly the DEFENDER. For the DEFENDER to get ambush it has to roll three less than the ATTACKER.

Never played this way.. time to check The Holy Tome..

CX when advancing into Kunai, unless using a path. that's probably the extra +1

Why would you be CX when advancing in Kunai? It's only two MF. Unless up a hill or the Japanese unit found a five PP SW. Ah, you're thinking of bamboo.
