Actually, I'm not sure a dummy can take a MC. There was official Q&A about taking the PAATC with the 7ML.If none in LOS it uses the 7 morale and could retain ? if no enemy in LOS.
I agree--the real AFV should become unconcealed, too. WP can be very unpleasant for an AFV crew, especially if they think they are on fire.It seems really gamey that the only thing that ? stack could be is a non-CE CT AFV and it gets wiped off the board just with a hit of WP where a real AFV would be unaffected by the shot. Really gamey.
<shrug> Well, it is after all, a game.It seems really gamey that the only thing that ? stack could be is a non-CE CT AFV and it gets wiped off the board just with a hit of WP where a real AFV would be unaffected by the shot. Really gamey.
Yeah, now I'm not too sure either about the MC, but it seems to make sense. If it fails the 7ML NMC, well it's either broken or dummies. If it manages to pass and nothing within LOS, it could conceivably retain. Sort of a moot point with a 5/8" dummy stack taking a MC, but you'd have to roll low (9 or less in a wooden building) to make it seem like it was CE and passed.Actually, I'm not sure a dummy can take a MC. There was official Q&A about taking the PAATC with the 7ML.
EDIT: if they do take a MC out of LOS (and I don't think they do) and all the other units have 8ML or 6ML, do the dummies still have 7ML? Kind of a give away if they do.
Well, provided it would not need a PAATC, then it would need to make an attack. And at that point, the dummy would need to make a fake DR, which is NA. So the point is rather moot, no?BTW, are Japanese Dummies exempt from PAATC? Seems like they should be, but the 7ML is on the ? counter. G1.62 says Japanese are exempt.
No, it would not. The difference is, a concealed Japanese infantry unit would retain concealment when an enemy AFV entered its location without the need of a PAATC; a dummy Japanese unit, if it is not immune, would have to take a PAATC to retain concealment, blowing its cover as a dummy. Probably won't come up often, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility.then it would need to make an attack.
