Right Ole, it is not written.
Nevertheless, Robin wrote on the french forum :
8.2 Residual Firepower: When a unit is attacked by Defensive First Fire/Subsequent First Fire/FPF, the target Location in which the attack is resolved (even if in Bypass) is marked with a Residual FP counter [...]. Thereafter, any unit entering (or expending MF/MP in) that same Location in the same MPh is attacked on the IFT with the FP represented by that Residual FP counter, a new IFT DR, and any applicable FFMO/FFNAM DRM.
What is underscored is what would show that the RF counter is placed after resolving the Fire which created the residual.
Furthermore, if we should consider that a RFP is not placed after the resolution of an attack, when is it placed ? Before or after, we have to choose. And if it is placed before, the RFP attack should be resolved (Riders or not) even before the attack creating it, because the Rule Book states RFP attacks always take place first. That is happilly not the way it works !
So the issue revolves around : do we understand the MF expense for the bailing out as a consequence of the fire, or is the Bail out a movement not related to the fire which forced the Rider to Bail out !
So the RFP has to be placed after the Bailing Out, and a bailing out Rider should'nt be hurted by any RFP placed by the same attack that forced it to Bail out !
A solution consistent with what Residual FP is done for, and not over punishing for those audacious Riders.
