Tough call?

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Hmm, best way I can answer that is to say that accidentally exiting a unit is one thing, but exiting a whole stack, especially when they are about to be destroyed, is another.

I agree. The eyebrow would have gone up on that one.

I would simply have the "offender" transfer the points of those units to the other side when determining victory points at the end. In other words, if you exited 30 total victory points worth of units, then add 30 points to the opponent score. Sort of like a "reverse" exit hex!

That is one way to get the "accidental" removal of points from the match to be returned to the aggrieved player?
As long as the offending player did accidentally remove them. It still belabors the point of the breach of the tourney specific rule.

And nowhere are rules chisled in stone.

Then what are rules for?
If the tourney director made a rule of "no exiting units" it should be viewed as "chiseled in stone"?
