Playtesting a game involving Ammo Dumps, which to me aren't the best defined features of the game, and a number of questions have arisen. Would be interested in folks' opinions ... this is copied from my opponent's email to the ASLML.
I have an Ammo Dump set up using HIP in a single-hex, single-story
building. It is allowed to set up HIP as if an Emplaced Gun.
Questions:
1. Does an Ammo Dump lose HIP/Concealment for just providing its Ammo
capacity to a Gun? (I would think no. Yes, an Ammo Vehicle is marked
with a Prep Fire counter to show it can't move, not that it has fired.)
2. A GO, armed enemy squad has advanced into the Location of the HIP
Ammo Dump. As the Ammo Dump can not reveal a Strength Factor, does the
Ammo Dump lose Concealment automatically or does it still retail its
concealment? ( I would think loss of concealment would be automatic -- I
think.) Mind you, the Ammo Dump can not attack back so it doesn't have
the option to *drop* its concealment so as to attack.
3. Does an enemy unit have the option to _both_ attempt a capture
attempt in CC as it attacking an unarmed vehicle _and_ attempt to Recover
the Ammo Dump in the RPh/MPh as if a SW/Gun? Or, may (must?) the enemy
unit attempt either a capture attempt in CC *or* a Recovery attempt in
the RPh/MPh? Or is the capture of the Ammo Dump automatic as per A11.52?
4. If the Ammo Dump loses its concealment, does it (can it) hold an
enemy unit in Melee? (I would think no as it's not armed.)
5. If the enemy unit in the same Location as the Ammo Dump has not
captured/recovered the Ammo Dump, may a Gun ADJACENT to the Ammo Dump
_still_ use the benefits of the Ammo Dump? Does this change if the Ammo
Dump is still concealed?
