[ASLML] CC Infiltration

>"Even if CC had not been sequential, the attacking German Infantry would

>unable to attack the German Infantry before it withdrew."

Ah, my main rules nemesis, the EX...

I do not read the EX.  I *know*, I *know*... they are an official part of 
the ASLRB, and all that.  But they are grossly mis-used...

Having said that, I reserve further comment until I read this one more 
carefully.  Thanks for pointing it out, I may get back to you on this.  (I 
gather now from Jim's earlier comment that this has been hashed about on the 
ASLML before...)

Regards,
