You are joking right?
Not sure it's a debate.
You posted the wrong question.
I'm not the troll that would do that, however, I know I will never receive credit for anything I post here. That much I know..
It has to go to Q6 (assuming that it doesn’t rout upstairs) which is 2 MF away.
Does it matter? I linked to the whole thread and the principle is the same.
There are a few questions on this thread but the one that interests me is discussed here.
I think the poster is referring to the original (in post #1) image - not the one in post #73.
I think the answer to this is no. A routing unit cannot make a move that, at the time it does so, it has the information (it knows) this move will make it impossible to reach its designated route destination.
If my side of the debate is correct, it has to surrender if it chooses P7 as its destination. For that reason it should choose N5 or O7 which are equidistant and can be reached safely through O6.
Since the unit has an Interdiction free route to N5 or O7, it can still choose P7 as the rout target, and it would not Surrender doing so.
True. The issue then is whether it has to take the shortest route and accept interdiction or plan a longer route and not reach O7 at all.
That is the question/issue yes, as in the original post.
Using the illustration in this post may be the best way to craft a yes/no question for Perry to answer. I think we do need to craftvone carefully to avoid him having to tease out what we are asking. Actually, its not so much for him to tease out but for others who may encounter the situation and doubt in the question can create the same problem.
Keep repeating your argument in the same post will not help, you are wrong in your rule know-how and miss the point how rules are written.What matters is what the rule says.
At the start of its RtPh, a routing unit must designate its destination and must attempt to reach it during that RtPh...
When the rule talks about a routing unit designating its destination, what it of course means is that the player who controls that unit must make the designation. Similarly, when it says that the unit must attempt to reach its destination during that RtPh, it means that the player controlling it must ensure that it makes the attempt. Cardboard counters don't have the capacity to make that kind of decision.
The rout rules set out the parameters within which the player may choose the destination but, once that choice is made, it seems to me that he must comply with the very clear direction of A10.51. He must attempt to move the routing unit to its chosen destination. If, instead, he chooses a circuitous route (incurring interdiction into the bargain) with the clear intention of not moving the routing unit to that destination, I really don't see how that complies with what the rule says that he must do. It is doing the opposite.
And that the rules are interconnected, sometimes in different sections, sometimes in different chapters, sometimes in a different product.
Sometimes not at all. Or at least, if a response has come in, I might have missed it on a couple of occasions. Definitely no response to this one so far.
