Hi all
hope someone can help with this.
A LH element starts in the threat zone of an enemy element. 3 pips are available. Can the LH retire out of the TZ (more than 40mm from any enemy) for the 1st pip, then make subsequent moves to in theory end behind the same enemy element? (no closer than 40mm obviously)
I suspect it can....
thanks
Craig

I don’t think so. Page 9 on second subsequent moves says that a unit can only make subsequent moves if it did not start or move within 1BW of an enemy.
oops, I am wrong. If the first move gets you out of the TZ, then the 2nd move obviously qualifies as not starting within 1BW.

Hi Pat
That is exactly how I have thought about LH since I started playing 3.0 a couple of years ago.
A situation came up during a club game a few weeks ago which alerted me to this. It’s where the second move starts that’s crucial.
Really makes the suggestion of LH only paying half a pip for a move sound better still!
Goes to show the importance of reading the rules carefully (and what a minefield writing them must be!)
Thanks all
Craig
