Just a stab at item 3. Wouldn't the " ABILITIES TRUMP RULES" come into play here? The Courage ability would allow him to move I would imagine.
Yes, that was my thinking as well, but wanted to see what others thought before we went ahead. New-ish SA came late to party as the game was being phased out so not a lot clarification resources as the SA's in the past.
OK, we are at an impasse during our game and thought it would be a good time to discuss the Special Ability COURAGE fielded by the Russian unit Guards Infantry.
COURAGE – This unit can move while disrupted if it moves closer to the nearest enemy unit.
We have a couple of thoughts
1- If two or more units are of equal distance from the disrupted Guards, it can choose which unit to move to.
2- If the disrupted Guards is in an adjacent hex, it can still move into an enemy occupied hex, as the same hex is the closest.
3- During Lethal Defensive or even Defensive Fire, while the unit can be destroyed, it would not stop the movement of the unit into the occupied hex.
thoughts or anything else you would like to add.
Gents: I think you're right on about #1. I also think you have #2 right...sort of; just my 2 cents, but I think that it could "attempt" to move into the nearest hex except that could possibly incur Defensive Fire. Our old AAM group (may it rest in peace!) and OutpostEagle and I never play with Lethal Defensive Fire, so I'm going to have to give #3 a little more thought. Time to consult the "Sharpeisms". If any of you old timers are lurking around, you might remember those.
