[ASLML] Wounded and broken

This is a compelling argument.  But I am led to wonder, and I am not being 
flippant here...

What does "move" mean in ASL?

Seriously.  Everything I can find equates the expenditure of MF or MP with 
"movement".

When broken units "move" during the RtPh, they are expending MF.  They are 
explicitly forbidden from "moving" during any other phase (e.g. MPh or APh). 
  It seems to me that to "move" is to "expend MF/MP" (A4.2).

Further, while Passengers are being conveyed by a vehicle, the *vehicle* is 
considered "moving" for DFF purposes.  The Passengers are not used as the 
basis for the attack, e.g. they cannot be attacked separately from the 
vehicle.  The Passengers are not considered a "moving" unit; the *vehicle* 
is "moving".

Likewise, wouldn't an MMC carrying a wounded leader be considered the 
"moving" unit?  So technically, a leader being carried is not "moving", it 
is being "carried".  (Analogous to "portaged" or "conveyed".)

... here come the howls, but I defy anyone to define ASL movement in any 
other way ...
