Hi,
have a number of questions regarding spotters for mortars, would appreciate any help that can be given:
1) A spotter is on the roof of an exterior factory directing and 81mm mtr in an interior roofless factory hex. The spotters hex is also a roof access point. In the opponents Defensive fire phase the spotter is targeted and breaks, in the subsequent rout phase it routs down the stairs o the ground level of the factory where there is a commissar. Then in the rally phase the spotter rallies at this point it is still adjacent to the mtr it was originally spotting for the questions is
Section C9.3 states that 'a new spotter cannot be assigned until the movement phase following the spotter loss if it is original spotter is eliminated, broken or captured - in this case as the spotter has rallied and was the original spotter does it have to wait until it's following movement phase to be allocated as the mtr spotter again or does it not loose 'spotter' status and can immediately spot for the mortar as it is still adjacent in the prep fire phase?
2) Can a spotter move during the movement phase and if still adjacent to the mortar it is spotting for then direct the mortar fire in the advance phase - in this instance does the case B To hit apply even though the spotter has moved?
