Is there a good article on Caves in a Journal/etc? Reading through G11.85 has revealed all sorts of goodness and I'm looking for more.

Well, then I reckon it is up to Hongkongwargamer to conjure it up here to help you remember.

G11.81 questions/clarifications:

Let's say a Japanese squads fires from it's cave from a jungle hex. I presume G.2/E1.16 kicks in and the cave need not be revealed. I want to return fire. Since the cave is hidden I cannot pre-designate it so the unit is immune and this would count as a use of is protective TEM and thus reveal the cave?

OBA vs a "empty" hex can never effect cave contents nor reveal hidden caves so nothing comes on board. Correct?

OBA vs a unit could reveal the cave per the reasoning above for direct fire. Correct?

Getting these cave counters on board so one can start filling them with WP (ROF with WP for the win!) seems the first step to overcoming them and can be a bit tricky until one is right next to them (when they are in jungle/etc).
