A unit moves adjacent to a crew/gun in a fortified building. Between them is a wall. Does the moving unit qualify for WA right away, or is he FFMO as he enters the hex? B9.32 states that units manning a gun in a fortified building cannot claim wall advantage, but the B9.321 example seems to indicate that the unit would be subject to FFMO as he enters the hex. Thanks.

Wall Advantage, when it can be claimed, is claimed "as part of" the MF expenditure (B9.322). So if the Gun has not and cannot claim WA, the moving unit will gain it immediately upon entering the Location. So no FFMO will apply in your case.

In that Example the German unit in hex T3 has Wall Advantage.

See ASL Journal 3 errata:
B9.321 first EX: The 4-6-7 should be marked with a WA counter.
