With regard to Q&A A24.31 & C8.6 - If an infantry unit enters a location already containing WP (e.g. WP OBA blast hex), must it take a MC?
A. It must take a MC if moving into a WP FFE. {1}
The answer implies that existing WP smoke that has already been PLACED, such as from a grenade, bazooka or mortar, has no effect on a unit that subsequently enters its location. A WP FFE is continually PLACING WP in its 7 hex blast area so it is constantly having this effect. However, once the FFE1 becomes an FFE2 and is moved in the subsequent player turn do the hexes containing the FFE1 WP still effect units entering them since no more WP is being PLACED in those hexes? This would be the case were this an HE FFE which iaw C1.71 a SMOKE FFE is treated like.
