Defensive Fire Question

[jasonhappel]

Lets say a vehicle is sitting adjacent to an enemy unit..Is it possible for that vehicle to move away from an enemy unit and then adjacent to that unit again one hex over and then back out with out provoking defensive fire... rather than it just moving the 2 hexes adjacent...

It seems my friend found a loop hole in the moving tactics to avoid defensive fire and i just wanted to clarify if this was legal or not... and moving in and out provokes the defensive fire...

Wish I had a photo to better explain the situation...

Anyway hope you understand what im getting at.

You receive a defensive fire opportunity when your opponent moves their unit from one hex that is adjacent to your units immediately into another hex that is adjacent to your units.

In the case of your example: If your opponent moved away from your unit and that wasn't into another hex adjacent to your units, then he could manuever and move adjacent to another of your units without giving you a defensive fire opportunity.

Defensive fire is always adjacent hex to adjacent hex.
