B28.61 and TB DRM

[Bill Kohler]

B13.4212 says “whenever Infantry/Cavalry specifically use a TB to enter a hex at a reduced MF cost () or to escape minefield attack (), it is subject to a special -1 Defensive First Fire DRM due to its restricted movement options…”

B28.61 says “Units may enter a minefield hex via a TB at twice the normal MF/MP cost without coming under minefield attack, but are subject to the TB Defensive First Fire -1 DRM.”

Question: Does the TB DFF DRM ever apply to vehicles? (B13.4212 implies no, B28.61 implies yes (the MP comment).) If it applies to vehicles, does it also apply to To-Hit rolls?

------------------------------------
Response:

Delete "/MP" from B28.61 (which refers back to B13.4212, making it controlling). And that DRM is missing from the charts.

Follow-on Comment:

Would the TB DFF DRM apply to ITT To Hit rolls?

Whoa! This change means that vehicles can no longer use an existing TB to avoid minefield attacks when entering a minefield hex! Is that really Perry's intention?

A further response from Perry

Oops. That answer was wrong.

Instead, in B28.61, line 5, insert "Infantry/Cavalry" after" but" and before "are".

And when you quoted the ruling below, you left out part:
"For official answers write to asl_qa@multimanpublishing.com."
