Yep it's Ordeal Before Shuri. I missed the fact that only Japanese can place in their own location.
So my understanding so far, I can place into an empty PB from the same hex, that DC will act as a set DC, because its a set DC it ignores the TEM of the PB (as per the italics part below) and it benefits from a -3DRM. So any KIA will destroy the PB.
(
30.92 ELIMINATION: A pillbox is eliminated by any DC, or
non-Area-Target-Type ordnance, attack whose IFT Original DR
[EXC: Final DR, for a Set DC; 30.31; A23.7] vs it/its-contents is a KIA,
provided that KIA's # is ≥ the pillbox TEM that applied to the DC-IFT or ordnance-TH DR. For pillbox-elimination purposes only, the KIA's # is increased by two if the KIA was caused by a Placed/Set DC. "
If I'm right is there any reason to ever set a DC in a PB
Have I picked a complex subject or am I missing something really simple?
