Hi,
A unit routs from Open Ground into a hex with grain in season.
Is the following statement correct:
It does not suffer interdiction, because although it is still in LOS, the Grain hex is not Open Ground.
Thanks for any answer
Lionel

Thanks, that's what I thought. Indeed it still must continue to rout

In most cases the unit must continue to rout, but not in all cases. If the unit used Low Crawl it would stop, of course, but then it also wouldn't face interdiction for that additional reason. The more interesting case is when the unit can't reach any non-ignored woods/building in six MF. In that case the unit can designate any otherwise-legal hex as its rout target. In your example that grain hex could be the designated rout target.

Hi Jrv,
I did not know that. Thanks for that help.
