Wounded & Routing

[ToxicShock]

Greetings All,

It is the RtPh. Action is on board 12 with Mud. A wounded SMC is stacked with a broken squad @ DD2 in OG. Bad guys are @ Y3 and S5.2. There are out of season orchards @ EE3 & FF3, a building @ FF4 and a woods @ GG4. The destination is declared as FF4.

Can the wounded SMC voluntary rout with the broken squad toward the building and end their rout @ FF3 due to lack of MF? Or must the squad rout alone?

Reference: A10.51. A10.711

Hi

The Squad must rout alone as the Leader has to remain with the squad throughout the RtPh as per A10.711 and that is not possible since the wounded Leader only have 3 MF.
You could of course declare a Low Crawl and rout just one hex with the Leader following.

Here is the reply from MMP:

The only way this squad and leader could rout together is if the squad declared Low Crawl, but then it would not get very far
