Given the following melee:
U.S. (Attacker) --
2x 7-4-7 (each CX)
9-2 and 8-1 Leaders (neither CX)
German (Defender) --
2-3-8
4-3-6
4-4-7 (Broken/DM)
2x 9-1 Leaders
No Ambush (stone bldng, BUT U.S. reinforcing the 9-2 already in melee)
If computed as a single CC attack, 1:1 odds (16:12) for Attacker.
Assuming I've properly calculated the preliminaries, I'm a little confused on the DRMs.
The U.S. can use the 9-2 Leadership modifier, but does the +1 for EACH CX 7-4-7 cumulatively negate that, or is the proper read that the presence of any ONE CX unit, regardless of how many, ONLY adds +1 to the attack made up of a combination of CX and non-CX units? (3.3 states in part "CX units must add one to any attack DR or any dr (maximum +1) they make or direct including IFT and CC attacks . . . ."; but the chart seems to suggest a +1/-1 per CX unit).
Second, does the presence of the Broken/DM MMC (which, btw, broke in the current turn's U.S. Prep Fire (the 9-2 having survived the "friendly fire")) cause the -2 DRM to apply to the entire defending stack? (Again, I think that the answer is "yes, it does").
So, on the CC resolution, I played it as a net -2 DRM (-2 Ldr, +2 each CX, -2 Broken MMC). That said, I can also see a viable argument made that it's a net -3 DRM (-2 Ldr, +1 CX (max), -2 Broken MMC).
Which is right? Thanks in advance.
