Q:
A unit enters a hex in which an Infantry unit would normally be required to defensive fire (first, subsequent or final protective, A8.312) based on that unit's entry of the hex. If said unit is eliminated by a K/ or KIA due to residual FP, must the in hex Infantry still fire?
What about if the entering unit is eliminated by fire from outside the hex?
Perry Sez:
No, if Residual FP eliminates the moving unit, there is nothing to attack.
But if not eliminated by RFP, the in-hex unit must attack before attacks from outside.
