RE: Hex Control (once again)
In our last conversation on the subject, it was agreed that a DEM unit could NOT exert control in a disputed hex.
However, that was talking about where enemy good order or disrupted units also occupied the same hex.
In Alan's example, this is what occurred the turn before. Therefore leaving the hex as controlled by the side that was last in GO or DIS.
For you guys to then state that the hex becomes uncontrolled once the GO or DIS becomes DEM thereafter means you are now allowing the already DEM guy to allow some control as he now swipes the control from the newly DEM'd enemy unit.
It also once again would mean that 'definitions' are yet again being ignored: P.3 "Control" - A hex is controlled by the player whose combat units last occupied it. (and before we go into "both are occupying it", do not forget my first sentence above where the situation was DEM not controlling, because they can not whilst being DEM, but the GO or DIS unit did control). Therefore, nobody has disputed or retaken control from the last side that DID control it.
All that has to be done is to knit the 2 rules together to solve the problem posed rather than try to 2nd guess by gut feeling or worse still "its what I always have done" to what appears to be some kind of novel situation.
