Wire Rules Clarification:

1. In the Example shown, the U S 9-2 Leader with Squads have 6 Move Factors
a. after entering Jungle Terrain Hex , cost of 2 MF, the U S 9-2 Leader and Squads have 4 MF left to get thru the Wire
b. the dr of 5 , represents 5 MF, to get thru the Wire, the remaining MF of 4 is Not enough MF and the U S Units did not get thru, the Units must
Wait until Next Move Phase , make another MF dr to get past Wire,
Routing Units , also must make MF dr to get past Wire, Routing Units have 6 MF, if Routing Unit MF dr is 6, and the Routing Unit cannot
move out of Hex occupied by Opposing Unit and Wire in same Hex, Routing Unit is eliminated for failure to Rout ,
Failure to Rout, is when at the END of Player Turn, any of that Players Broken Units that are next to Good Order Opposing Units
Infantry Units in Melee are not in Good Order. Broken/DM Infantry do not have to Rout away from Units in Melee
c. Units on Top of Wire, are not stuck and may move away without making dr to move back out of Wire Hex,or during the Advance Phase
move of One Hex, may Advance Phase Move off the WIre
