Fail Recovery - Flee Now or Next turn? - Dan Storm - 06-27-2017
Good Evening All;
14.0 Morale
Playing through my first PG scenario ever. Solo.
I seem to be stuck on this for some reason.
I have a Demoralized HMG in a hex with a leader.
I activate the hex. I roll for recovery moral check - and fail. I know the HMG has to flee because an enemy unit can see the HMG - and the enemy unit is close enough to inflict damage on the HMG.
My confusion / question is this:
Does the HMG have to Flee Right Now during this particular action segment - or does it flee on the next turn?
Rule 14.4 states:
Place a Moved/Fired marker on any unit that attempts recovery (whether it is successful or not), and any leader who assists a recovery attempt.
which to me indicates they are both done for the turn.
The Next Sentence Says:
A leader may not move in the same action segment in which he assists a recovery attempt, except to accompany a fleeing demoralized unit that fails to recover
Which indicates to me they Flee Now.
Apologies if I am over-complicating this one.
Thanks for the help!

Hi, Dan. Demoralized units that fail recovery flee immediately.

The fleeing is part of the recovery check. Essentially, one of 4 things happens when you roll for recovery of a demoralized unit.
1. You removed the Demoralized marker (snake-eyes, only)
2. You flip the Demoralized marker to the Disrupted side
3. You eliminate the leader (only on boxcars)
4. The unit flees
