Hi

This question may have been asked before but the search didn't turn up anything obvious.

Can you do normal movment through:
a. your own unfortified camp?
b. Your own fortified camp?

This came up in a game I was observing at the local club and neither the players nor myself could find it in the rules. The check of the rules did turn up that you cannot rout through a fortified friendly camp nor can you evade through any type of camp. As the camp in question was fortified it was decided to rule that the friendly unit could not move through. However taking that ruling on routers then you could move through your own unfortified camp (but this would be incorrect using the evaders ruling).

Thank you for any responses.

I beleive that you go around your camp, not through it.

Thats the way we play it at our club but I can't point to a page number in the rule book to verify it.

I don't think there will be a page that will specify that - what there will be is an absence of allowed interpenetration in the general movement section I would think.

Note that routers are specifically allowed to pass through an unfortified camp - that is in the JAP section of the rules.

Troops are not allowed to pass through a camp. i.e. it's not in the 'allowed penetrations' rule.

The only troops who may pass through a freindly camp are broken troops, and even then only if the camp is unfortified. The is also a rule that forces evaders to avoid passing through the camp.

Along these lines ...
Can routed troops take shelter in a fortified camp? [Camp opens the gates and says come in.]
If so, do the routed troops boost the defenses of the fortified camp?

no

so an unfortified camp counts as a type of base and/or BG and not as terrain?

Basically yes.

Interesting,
I wonder how many other rules that don't specially include/exclude camps, would therefore include camps because they are just another type of base.
