[Rules] 75mm IG and fleeing?

[HORUS 25]

HI, I AM A NEW Player and little ? shy.

I just wanted to know what yall think. Or interpret . I am very familiar with wargames and there rules booklets.so I know there cld be different opinions.

SITUATION

Demoralized 75mmIG(German) in woods hex.(unlimbered)
Attempts recovery on activation .
Fails recovery.

Does the weapon unit flee ?
It's limber side has Movement Allowance of 1
It's unlimbered side has 0 movement allowance.

I am a noob to panzergrenadier but love the game and its system I own 4 of the games am excited because battle of bulge 1st edition arrives this week. This is one of my favorite systems I may be overthinking the rules sometimes.


The above situation is from..
PANZERGRENADIER ORIGINAL
Scenario 4 Tank Attack at Okhvat
I am using a mix of 4th edition and 3rd edition rules .

The rule says," It must spend its entire movement allowance moving away from enemy units toward the closest safe hex." Thus it could not use it's movement to limber. So, I think you got a dead gun. This also brings brings up the question about mobile rocket launchers, like the BM-13. I guess they would be eliminated too.

I removed the gun from play. I wasnt going to hold up the scenario but i wanted tk know the correct way for situation arising again. Lol I was thinking that to because it wld have to limber which is an moving activation. Or possibly be limbered already.

Thank u for ur answer if I have more questions or anything I'll post more on the forums. It's great to see a community for this wonderful game.

PLUS . . . .

As per PG 4th Edition rules 2014 . . .

14.34 (Page 31)
If a demoralized weapon unit with a movement allowance of 0 fails a recovery attempt AND must flee, it is eliminated (the crew abandons the weapon).

1.2 Definitions (page 5)
Weapon Unit: Anti-tank, artillery, or anti-aircraft units, most of which need to be towed by a transport unit move (5.60).
