Hi -
Imagine the following situation: an AFV, leader, and first line squad start the MPh on a road and begin to move along the road using armored assault. Assume no use of doubletime. Normally (and assuming enough MP from the AFV), the stack could move 7 hexes along the road - 6MF including leader bonus, plus road bonus of 1.
Now assume that the leader breaks to DFF in the second hex. The squad must leave the leader behind and then stop after expending 5MF (its 4 plus the road bonus). The example in D9.31 makes it clear that the AFV may continue into a sixth hex since the stack had 6MF at the START of the MPh. But may it continue into a 7th using the leader's hypothetical road bonus?
Grateful to anyone for opinions/references. Thanks!
