CC:

How long does a CX counter remain on CC unit?

Rout:

A unit in a building needs to rout, in order of "presentation" is a rubble hex - open hex with a foxhole in it and then a building.

Can it directly enter the foxhole to avoid interdiction? If so can it then also directly enter the building to avoid interdiction?

If the order were (open hex with fx) - (rubble) would it then need to use LC to avoid interdiction? In this case could it NOT use LC at all? ( ie by using any in hex TEM namely foxhole).


Thanks

Until the beginning of that unit's next MPh, unless it breaks sooner. No change from normal behavior here.

Yes, the unit may directly enter the Foxhole. However, the MF cost is effectively 3MF for the hex (1 to enter the hex, 1 to enter the foxhole, 1 to exit), so in your first example, you'd be stuck in the foxhole instead of making it to the building. The only limitation here is MF.

In your second example, you would NOT need to use LC to avoid interdiction. 3MF gets you through the Foxhole, 3MF gets you into the rubble.

See the B27.41 example for more details.

It’s actually the end of its next MPh per A4.51 (second to last sentence)

A4.51 seems to call for the removal of CX both at the end and the start of the MPh:

"...A unit’s CX counter is removed if the unit breaks; or in its next Player Turn as soon as it: has completed all of its Prep Fire, or is designated as an Opportunity Firer, or moves (unless due to a Minimum Move or Deep Stream Entry it becomes CX again), or becomes TI; or at the conclusion of its next MPh—whichever comes first. A CX counter is removed at the start of a MPh and does not affect that unit during that MPh other than prohibiting its use of Double Time during that MPh."

Not that I think it really matters all that much.

One minor point on the rout. If the building is the target of the rout, since using the foxhole means it cannot reach the building, it can only do so if this is the shortest route to the building.

"As long as it reaches that hex during a single RtPh, it need not use the shortest route, but as long as it follows the shortest path in MF otherwise, it may enter a shellhole/entrenchment/pillbox to avoid Interdiction even if it can no longer reach that woods/building hex in a single RtPh. "
I think that will be the case in this instance.
