An enemy stack moves next to a friendly concealed-but-real stack. The friendly stack has wall advantage, but the enemy stack claims WA as it enters (if necessary, momentarily revealing a real unit). Per B9.324 (J8 errata) the friendly side "must then momentarily reveal one non-dummy unit or forfeit WA."

In my example, can the friendly player decline to reveal a non-dummy unit from the friendly concealed-but-real stack, thus giving WA to the moving enemy stack?
Yes. B9.324:
"and the opposing side must then momentarily reveal one non-dummy unit or forfeit WA"

"reveal one non-dummy unit" or "forfeit WA" - i.e., a choice of what to do.

Even if WA is mandatory for the friendly stack?
Yes. Since B9.323 MANDATORY WA has an EXC for B9.324

Or is the friendly player obligated to reveal a non-dummy unit if it is possible?
No.

submitted to MMP said:
If the friendly player has the option to decline to reveal a unit in general, may he choose to not reveal a unit (and so forfeit WA to the enemy player) if the friendly concealed-but-real stack contains one or more pinned, TI, or Immobile units?
No, since per B9.322:
"A Pinned, TI, or Immobile unit cannot voluntarily claim or forfeit WA."

You know, in the future I should record the thread which caused me to send in for a q&a. This was sent Jan 15, 2019. If anyone has any idea which thread it might have risen from, let me know.

I don't recall that there was a thread here on GS when this Q&A popped up on the grid.
