Chapter G - Questions and Answers

Rule: A4.134 & G1.4

Question :Are Japanese SMC immune to the \"Pin\" effect of a Minimum Move?

No. In line 9 of G1.4 at the beginning of the EXC add "Minimum Move (A4.134); Wounds (A17.2) ;".

G2 (Feb 2002)

Does a starshell illuminate light jungle?

Ch. G 2.? [NRBH] clearly states not [in fact specifies only bypass of
light jungle illuminated]

However Ch E 1.923 [2nd Ed change] only excludes dense jungle from
illumination.

The Bypass portion of light jungle is illuminated. Units IN the jungle are not illuminated.

E1.933, G2.3.
 
Per E1.933 (2nd Ed.), an Illumination Round =will= illuminate a
(non-Dense) Jungle hex. Per G2.3, it will not. Which is correct?

It =will= illuminate the bypass portion of a Light Jungle hex.

E1.933 cross-references G2.4 for no apparent reason. What should

that cross-reference be?

G2.3 works.

G7:

Dave answers Bill:

> When adjacent to a Jungle hex, a Marsh hex is a Two-Level Obstacle

> Swamp.

> Exactly what portion of the Swamp hex/symbol blocks LOS?

Swamp is *not* Inherent Terrain (see PTO Terrain Chart), so it's the

Swamp  symbol that creates the LOS obstacle.  It's just like Two-Level

Woods (like  Pine Woods) is.

> (c) The Marsh symbol, including those portions encountered inside a

> Swamp hex and those small portions that might bleed past the hexsides.

Correct, as I understand it.

These are good questions.  I'd like to see something official or,

failing  that, more commentary from the peanut gallery.

Dave is correct.

G11.5 Cave LOS (August 2002)

Based on the "Continuous Slope" rule as it applies to caves, can a 0 level cave have LOS into a -1 level gully hex at a range of two hexes? EXAMPLE - A cave in Kakazu Ridge Map hex J11 (covered arc towards J10) firing to J9.

No; see the G11.5 EX where Cave A has no LOS INTO depression hex DD2.
Continuous Slope rules are NA to Gullies.

G11.83 (Nov 2003)

May a Japanese Lt. MTR in a Cave use Spotted Fire (C9.3)? If yes, is the MTR restricted to firing within the Cave's CA as other Direct Fire weapons are?

No; G11.83 line 4 at the end of the EXC add "(but it may not use Spotted Fire; C9.3)".
