A squad is moving, CX from the beginning. At MF #3, the squad takes fire, leading to HOB and Hero generation. The Hero is CX. How many MF remain for the newly created Hero?
A4.5 & A15.21
A squad declares Double Time at the start of its MPh and thus has 6 MF. On the expenditure of its 3rd MF it is attacked by the
enemy, triggering the creation of a Hero by Heat of Battle.
Is this hero CX?
A. Yes the Hero would also be CX.
Are the squad and the Hero considered to be moving as a stack despite the Hero being created after the start of the MPh of its
parent unit?
A. Yes, they are considered to be moving as a stack.
Does the hero have left 4 MF (8 - 50% MF moved previously by the parent unit = 4 MF) or 5 MF (8 - 3 MF moved previously by
the parent unit)?
A. 5 MF.
Perry Sez. Therefore, you do not need a rule reference.I follow the logic. But I can't find a rule.
I've heard both arguments presented here, 4 or 5 MF remaining. I've also heard the argument that the squad had expended 3/4 of it's MF, so the newly created hero also expended 3/4 of it's base 6, or 4.5 MF, leaving 1.5 plus the 2 for CX, or 3.5 MF remaining. I see the calculation as crazy, and illogical, but it seems to be equally (un)supported by the rules.
Unless he's wrongPerry is one of the three principals of MMP. He controls the rules set. He is right because he is the last word.

He's NEVER wrong. Perhaps incomplete answers, misinformed, or even misunderstood, but he's a close as we can come to a pontification pronouncement as we can get.Unless he's wrong
