A squad rolls a '2' on a street fighting attack during the opponent's movement phase. Is the squad eligible for infiltration, or do they return to the location from whence they came?
I agree, but are you basing that on the fact that this is reaction fire rather than CC?I believe they are returned to where they came from - along with possibly a newly created leader.
It actually does that even when making a CC Reaction Fire SF attack, D7.211:Since the infantry does not actually enter the vehicles 'road' location there is does not seem to be a need for a withdrawal via 'infiltration'.
I'm not too sure as A11.1 points out, "CC is a form of attack which can occur only during the CCPh [EXC: vs Unarmed units (20.54), Reaction Fire (D7.2),..." which seems to indicate any form of CC is subject to the CC rules which includes Infiltration (A11.22). Also D7.2 notes, "There are two types of Reaction Fire: CC Reaction Fire (7.21), which is resolved on the CCT;...". Also D7.21 further states, "Each Infantry/Cavalry DEFENDER unit that is unbroken, unpinned and neither Unarmed (A20.5) nor in Melee may attempt CC Reaction Fire, using the CC-vs-vehicle rules (A11.5, etc.; see also 7.211-.213) [EXC: Ambush is NA unless using Street Fighting; 7.211]."...
That being said, I am still thinking Infiltration does not apply in this situation.
