Saipan:Caves

[Shad]

Got it. You are advocating no defender fire when in a cave. A follow up question would be, should they screened, not take combat results, by units outside the cave?

Kind of. I'll give an example to make it clearer:

I have 2 JPN INF in a hex that has a cave. One INF is inside the cave, the other is outside (let's say he retreated into the hex or something).

You assault the hex with some Marines.

I am of the opinion that the first assault should be your Marines against only my 1 INF platoon that is outside the cave.

Then, if they are destroyed/driven off you would have to conduct another assault to root out my remaining platoon hiding in the cave.

Likewise, if you were in my hex and I wanted to initiate an assault, in order for BOTH platoons to take part I'd have to forego the defensive bonus of the cave and "come out".

But again, I'm writing this having not seen the new rules, so maybe it's a moot point?

Could you post a camera-phone shot of the caves special rules or something?
