Yes, it is permanently revealed as opposed to temporarily revealed as spelled out in other rules to differentiate the effects (e.g. a friendly unit may temporarily lose concealment to strip concealment on a moving enemy unit but immediately regains concealment after verification of a real unit with LOS to the moving unit).Does reveal mean loss of concealment for that defending unit?

Thanks. The Concealment Chart is clearerYes, it is permanently revealed as opposed to temporarily revealed as spelled out in other rules to differentiate the effects (e.g. a friendly unit may temporarily lose concealment to strip concealment on a moving enemy unit but immediately regains concealment after verification of a real unit with LOS to the moving unit).
I have but apparently Guy hadn't. He questioned the tactic so we looked in the text of the rules, not so clear until looking at the Concealment Chart. He is not happy about me vehicle bypass freezing him then bump stripping 3 hexes and bump stripping a 4th in the same turn.No one's bump-stripped you yet Ric?
Trying to wrap my head around this:I have but apparently Guy hadn't. He questioned the tactic so we looked in the text of the rules, not so clear until looking at the Concealment Chart.

No, no.Trying to wrap my head around this:
So you are saying that an AFV bypassing a hex will force a temporary revelation of one concealed enemy unit in a hex even if not ending its MPh in that hex, thus eliminating any Dummy. On top of that, the AFV would repeat the process several times during a single MPh.
Did I get this right?

I think it is Random Selection on which unit is revealed if there are more than 2 in a hex on the bump. Not sure on the bypass freeze and end of MPh.Did I read that correctly? You only have to reveal ONE unit? Say, I have a leader and a squad, both concealed. The enemy bumps into me, I may then reveal the Squad ONLY? And then go on t fire without the leader direction? Is that correct?
All units in the bypassed Location lose concealment in this case.Not sure on the bypass freeze and end of MPh.
Which unit you reveal is determined by Random Selection. So it could be either the Leader, the Squad or both. Most likely only one of them.Did I read that correctly? You only have to reveal ONE unit?

Yep, RS. And there it is in the RB, half a column away from its relevance and separated from its relevance by numerous other rules of independent significance. To COWTRA, add DSRUPE -- "Don't stop reading until the paragraph ends."Which unit you reveal is determined by Random Selection. So it could be either the Leader, the Squad or both. Most likely only one of them.
If you get bump-scouted that does not inhibit your fire in any way. You are not required to fire at all at the unit that attempted to enter your hex. You may fire the squad only. You may fire the squad leader-directed. Say RS determined the squad to lose Concealment but your Leader retains it, you could just fire the squad undirected while your Leader still remains Concealed. If you want to fire your squad with leader-direction, then - of course - the leader would also lose Concealment due to participating in the attack.

Regards on a bypass vehicle and concealment loss: the unit(s) being bypassed would lose their concealment at the the end of the bypassing vehicle's MPh if it remained there in bypass status and not at the end of "the" MPh.I think it is Random Selection on which unit is revealed if there are more than 2 in a hex on the bump.

Oh, at the end of It's MPh not The MPh. So there was no need to also bump him.Regards on a bypass vehicle and concealment loss: the unit(s) being bypassed would lose their concealment at the the end of the bypassing vehicle's MPh if it remained there in bypass status and not at the end of "the" MPh.
Chart and rule was in conflict at one time. One said "the" the other "its".Oh, at the end of It's MPh not The MPh. So there was no need to also bump him.
The same is true for Infantry units bypassing a concealed enemy unit. The bypassing unit does not get bumped even if the concealed unit does drop its concealment when the bypasser has entered its hex. To block passage, this would have to be done before entry. See more details in this thread.But if they only pass through............................. nothing happens
You have to end that vehicles MPh there for it to count - Obvs
