Can a unit route past available cover and finish in open ground and in successive turns continue to route to a leader as long as no enemy unit can see them? In other words, the rules say the routing unit "must" seek cover but does not say when or how far that cover can be.
Can a leader ever rally any units in open ground? The rules do not actually say no but its obvious to me they can't, my opponent disagrees.
Does a leader provide his leadership modifier in the advance fire phase if he moves to another hex (stacked with a squad)? Does a leader modify infantry fire in the advance fire phase if he did not move with the firing infantry?
Here is a weird one. Tanks block LOS like a wall. The rules say a wreck provides a hull down advantage to AFV's behind the wreck when fire crosses the wrecks outline. Wouldn't this also apply to non wrecked AFV's? Also, if an AFV in a hull downed position (due to a wreck)can be fired at, it seems the hulled down tank could not fire back because the wreck/avf acts like a wall on the opposite side of the hex? This is in contrast to the if fired upon, one can fire back rule.
