Minors stacking/tx - Gotthard H - 06-19-2013 A question has come up in a game of FITE, although it is probably relevant for other scenarios. There is a rule in FITE that, " Minors may not stack, or attack together with other minors." Does this preclude minors moving over other minors and/or minors under rail transport being transported over minors occupying rail hexes? Open for comments! RE: Minors stacking/tx - HerrDak - 06-19-2013 I think minors can move free over other minors or use the rail transport over minors occupying that hex. The rule is clear: only stacking or attacking is forbidden. RE: Minors stacking/tx - Murphz - 06-19-2013 I'm playing FITE too and I have to agree with HerrDark, the rule seems clearly not allowing the stack positioning of minors not the movements that may occur with a minor occupied hex. RE: Minors stacking/tx - Currahee - 06-20-2013 I don’t know what the designer would say, but I think it would be unworkable not to allow embarked units to use the rail thru other-minor-occupied hexes. The only coordination required would be by the RR authorities, which I believe were under centralized German control. My vote would be to allow rail movement wherever the rail goes, and even to allow disembarking and marching through off-limit hexes, as long as they don’t tarry there. I’m sure the intent was to prevent the minor allies from stacking together in defense, or from attacking together.
