Title: Router Simultaneously Meeting Friend & Foe
Post by: Francis Small on June 01, 2022, 05:14:38 AM
One of the interesting situations that came up at Kubla Con was a case where a routing unit (turned 90 deg to the line of battle) ran into the fight behind it, simultaneously making front edge to side edge contact with both a friendly and enemy unit. The rule is that a routing unit is immediately picked up when it contacts an enemy unit. The question was: does it also cause a KaB test on the friendly unit it contacted? I had my strongly held opinion, having nothing to do with who owned that friendly unit ::)  but agreed to pose the question on the forums. Does a routing unit that contacts the edge of a friendly unit but otherwise does not interpenetrate it cause a KaB test on it?

Twp comments:

1. Routers are removed after pursuits, not immediately (9.7 B.3 page 165)

2. Routers meeting friends causes a KaB test where appropriate.  (9.7 B.6 page 166).  Unfortunately 1) the reference (8.8B is wrong) and 2) 9.8B (the intended reference) doesn't mention them - it only mentions units being burst through.

So my view is that if the routing unit does not burst through there is no KaB test.
