Dash

[fanatic+1]

Is a Dash allowed from D8 through C8 to C7??

 

[WuWei]

A4.63: "Infantry may declare a Dash through a road Location if it declares a Dash move to a particular location prior to moving, and then moves from a non-Open Ground Location on one side of the road directly into the road and then directly into a non-Open Ground Location on the other side of the road..."

C7 is not on the other side of the road, so no Dash allowed.

A Dashing unit "... moves from a non-Open Ground Location on one side of the road directly into the road and then directly into a non-Open Ground Location on the other side of the road".
As the unit is not moving from one side to.the other side of the road, I don't think that Dash is allowed.

You can't even dash to B7.

You can't even dash to B7.

My take on it is that the dash is allowed. If the road did not continue from C8 to C7 there would be a dead-end road from D7 to C8 that would allow a dash. So the unit can say it is dashing across this portion of the road in the above example.
Edit: I did not mean to selectively reply to this one post, but meant that a dash would be allowed in both cases.

I have doubts about Dash through a dead-end.
The following Perry Sez seems not to allow it.

In this case the unit is not dashing across the road, but rather along it. I agree with the ruling here.

 

[Robin Reeve]

It is a dead-end and Dash doesn't seem allowed.

Following up on Robin's PS post. Here is another.

A4.63

The Diagram has 6 Dash option using Board 4 Dash 1 is from CC8 to AA8 Green Dash 2 is from CC8 to AA7 Red - We know that this is legal as it is the one used for the example A4.63 Dash 3 is from CC8 to BB6 through BB7 Black Dash 4 is from CC8 to BB6 through CC7 Yellow Dash 5 is from CC8 to CC6 Blue Dash 6 is from CC8 to DD8 Purple What if the road ended in CC7. The questions is which Dashes are Legal?


A. #1 is not legal. #2-5 are legal. #6 is not legal no matter where the road ends.

You cannot dash along a road.

Still too bad since no where does it state road depiction. but rather Road LOCATION.

Yet we have Leaders getting shoved under tanks in CC when a 1,1 is rolled for Field Promotion.

I do cross busy streets at unmarked crosswalks. I don't jaywalk parallel to the street in the middle of the road.

Can a single man place an explosive or device that immobilizes an BU AFV? Maybe. Can a single man get an explosive in the area where the driver sits and wreck the steering while killing a few? Maybe. But those are apples and this discussion is about oranges. You can't claim a quick dash across a road through C8 and into C7. The rules don't permit it. Dash through D7 and into C7. That is the MMC that crossed the road.

I think you could dash across the Q2-R2-S3 road from 1R3 through R2 to S2, assuming both R3 and S2 aren't OG to the firer.

Agree, one can dash along one road, as long as it is across another road. Think there are Q&A on this already....

 

[Larry]

only saw the Q&A that Robin posted and the one I posted. May have missed it.

but not S3 to T1?

 

[ScottRomanowski]

but not S3 to T1?

Right. The unit isn't crossing a road going from S3 to T1.
