ASL Novice in need of help with understanding / learning WA rules...… please see picture above.
It is the American MPh. Earlier in the phase, the 75L was HIP via Emplacement in W14. The US M4 76L made the wrong decision to significantly delay in V16.
The 75L decided to fire (lost HIP) and per B9.322 claimed WA. The TH DR was 2,3 enabling the 75L to retain concealment. NOTE: I have placed the "?" and WA counters to the side for clarity in the picture.
Q1: Is that correct so far? (My thought is Correct)
Continuing the MPh, the 666 in Z16 Assault Moves to Y16 and wants to claim WA as part of the MF expenditure per B9.322 regarding when WA can be claimed... "during its MPh/APh (either as part of, or before/after MF/MP expenditures). However, the EX following B9.321 indicates / implies that the 447 in X15 could DFF prior to the 666 gaining the WA counter and +1 TEM for the Hedge.
Q2: Can the 666 claim WA before 447 has chance to DFF? (My thought {via limited comprehension of B9 rules section} is YES)
That ends US MPh and German DFPh.
In the American AFPh, the 666 in Y15 elects to fire at the 75L.
Q3: For this shot, is the TEM +1 (Gun in WA and LOS crosses Hedge), +2 Emplacement or +3 Stone Building since per B9.32 "A unit claiming WA is still considered occupying any obstacle/terrain as it would if not claiming WA for all purposes (e.g., Concealment Terrain, firing backblast weapon from building) [EXC: 9.31]" --> B9.31 "[EXC: it may elect instead to receive appropriate TEM for Emplacement..." ? (My thought is it +2)
Finally, still in the American AFPh, the 346 in V12 fires at the 75L.
Q4: For this shot, is the TEM 0 (Gun in WA and LOS crosses only OG to hex center dot) per the EX following B9.321 or +2 or +3 per rule references cited above in Q3? (My thought is it +2)
Thanks for assistance.... suspect I will have more WA questions. Will try to use VASL screen crops to assist in discussions.
