That was my initial thinking as well until I read 19.13, the exception specifically:I don't think so.
I think he is ELR 5 underlined so first elr to 2 half squads and then one of them is eliminated.
That seems to be the definite answer ;-)Q&A:
A10.31 & A19.13 If an unbroken 6-5-8 SS squad (with its normal 5 ELR) suffers a Casualty MC
that also exceeds its ELR, is it Replaced by a broken 3-4-8 SS HS?
A. Yes. [Gen25.6; An95w; An96]
No you don't. Only one of them goes.Do you not have to roll Random selection to see which half squad is removed. Which could lead to removal of both if you yhatzee
The q&a specifically states that the unit is replaced by a broken halfsquad.I would say that the rule are on my side. Because the elite squad ELR's to two half squad then one is selected to be removed.
This selection like most other ones is done by a Random selection dr
A.9 RANDOM SELECTION: Whenever an event occurs calling for the Random Selection of one or more units in a hex, a dr is made for each such unit therein.
If you have a rule that will disprove this please site.
Play it how you want. The Q&A is pretty clear. (cite)I would say that the rule are on my side. Because the elite squad ELR's to two half squad then one is selected to be removed.

There was only 1 unit initially effected...the CR immediately wiped out a HS...there was nothing to RS on...Do you not have to roll Random selection to see which half squad is removed. Which could lead to removal of both if you yhatzee
If the ELR is applied first, the squad would be exchanged for two halfsquads, and they could potentially be used in a Random Selection. I think there is a valid question here. The q&a answers it.There was only 1 unit initially effected...the CR immediately wiped out a HS...there was nothing to RS on...
