Bunker Q

[Wakrob]

If a soldier is in a hex with a Bunker and it tries and fails a movement roll to cross a river, can the unit then declare it is in the Bunker? Does it matter if the unit was in the bunker to start with?

Thanks

I've asked for confirmation of this from R&D, but until that arrives, here's how I interpret this situation.

Entering or exiting a Pillbox is treated the same as changing facing for Vehicles -- it's movement, but it has 0 cost and doesn't trigger defensive fire. So ...

If a Soldier that is not in a Pillbox tries to move in a way that requires a movement roll and fails the roll, its movement is over. It can't then enter a Pillbox. This is analogous to a Vehicle being unable to change facing after failing a movement roll.
If a Soldier that is in a Pillbox wants to move in a way that requires a movement roll, it must first exit the Pillbox. This is analogous to a Vehicle rotating to directly face the hex it wants to enter before making the movement roll.
