[ASLML] WA as HIP Loss

[Bruce Bakken]

Listers,

I must be getting old...

The recent WA thread caused me to "discover" that the combination of 
Mandatory WA and HIP status can force the Hidden unit to be placed onboard 
in certain circumstances.

E.g.: Single Hidden squad in Brush, with a Wall hexside.  Enemy squad moves 
adjacent to Wall along the shared hexside.  Mandatory WA forces the Hidden 
unit to claim WA "as soon as possible."  For a Hidden unit, "as soon as 
possible" is "the moment an enemy unit moves adjacent and wants to claim 
WA."

Result: Hidden unit must be placed onboard beneath a "?" and claim WA.  Even 
if the enemy squad does not want to claim WA, the Hidden unit "must claim" 
it.

Like I said, maybe this is old news... perhaps I've gotten rusty and didn't 
remember it... but...

Wow!  What a powerful concealment stripping tool... beware HIP near walls 
and hedges...

Regards,
Bruce Bakken
