I never realized this about HIP and ManWA. it will also make the defender think harder about that situation.

: 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...
