Asking for help to confirm that riders are subject to FFMO, or not, as per A4.6.
Perry Sez, D6.64: 'Are Passengers/Riders "units"? A. Yes.'
A4.6, middle: "A further -1 First Fire DRM applies to units moving in the open (FFMO)..." (my italics)
D6.23: Riders do not "receive any CE benefit."
Example with questions: an enemy tank with Riders is moving along at full throttle through open ground, and a friendly squad fires its inherent FP at the enemy tank while the enemy tank is in the open-ground hex, with no hindrances, obstacles, etc. - it's a clean shot at the tank with its Riders, satisfying the FFMO portion of A4.6 as there are no protective TEM or LOS Hindrance features. Thus, are the enemy Riders subject to the -1 FFMO DRM? Or, could it be that the rules are to be interpreted that the Riders aren't moving - it's the tank that's "moving" and the Riders are motionless/stationary on the tank?
Thanks
