[ASLML] Squad Reduction with BF

[Will Fleming]

Bruce,

I agree and we both played it that way, but the rules are vague.  It favored
me and I didn't push the issue.  I just think the rules could be better.

A7.352 is N/A to this situation because the Squad nor HS never fired the SW.
A7.352 only deals with a unit that fires the SW first, which didn't happen.
A7.352 says nothing about a unit that first fired his inherent and then
wishes to use a SW.

Didn't we just go through all this a few months ago?  The answer is NO.

The HS has first-fired, so it's SOL.  Serves it right for getting reduced to
a
HS.  No free breaks in this man's army.

Sure it does.  A7.352 says so, pretty explicitly.  Is it a HS?  Yes.  Has it
First Fired?  Yes.  That's all there is to it.  (The HS has no memory of
what
it *used* to be.  Only players are plagued by memory.)
