Halfway through a game of Surabaya slugfest, and a couple of things came up that I'd appreciate the hive mind think on...
1. Dash...I dashed a half squad across a road into a building. On entering the road an Indonesian 4-4-7 first fired for 2 down 2 and broke him.
My opponent then wanted to final fire at him on the basis that he had declared a 3MF move when declaring the dash.
I told him he had been smoking crack and that only one MF had been expended. Was I right?
He then chose to fire another squad at him, at full (not halved for the dash) - I accepted that as I hadn't made it to the other side of the road but wasn't sure.
2. Rout...after I routed a unit to the ground level of a rowhouse and stopped, he then revealed a HIP tank hunter hero at Level One, which he claimed eliminated the broken unit. I accepted this but I wasn't sure if the Tank Hunter Hero counted as unarmed except against AFV's because their CC number is in parenthesis. If so - was my unit eliminated? theoretically could you rout towards them if revealed earlier?
3. OBA...SR placed which deviated - observer has LOS to the blast height, but not the base height. There are enemy units adjacent to the SR but all are unknown to the observer. So...mandatory correction. What if the observer fluffs his contact roll? I think and we played nothing until next player turn - my opponent was arguing without much conviction it was cancelled.
Enjoying the scenario - After 3 turns, I've lost more than I needed to by jumping into a few unnecessary close combats but the Indonesians are getting a real good kicking - they've lost 11.5 squads and a couple of vehicles and a gun and 8 tank hunter heroes vs maybe 4.5 British...
