I saw this posted by JRV at BoardGameGeek.
A broken American squad possessing a MMG is on top of wire next to the creek in Suicide Creek. There is an unconcealed unbroken Japanese unit also on top of the wire in the same Location. The only rout option is under the wire (minimum one MF), into the Creek (three MF) and then into another hex that will be ≥ three MF, i.e. no matter what happens the American unit will be eliminated for Failure to Rout because it will end the RtPh ADJACENT to the Japanese unit on the wire. Does the American squad make its wire dr and end the RtPh and be eliminated either under the wire (wire dr=4-6, where the MMG will drop to the ground under the wire) or in the stream (wire dr=1-3, where the MMG will be eliminated)? Or is the American squad eliminated for Failure to Rout before it starts the rout without expending any MF (leaving the MMG on top of the wire) because of the impossibility of achieving a meaningful result?
Rout, then elimination.
