Removing units from the map

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Which brings the discussion back to my question (I do not believe I got a straight yes/no answer...)

I'll give it a try. ;)

You seem to imply that removing fighting units from map is disallowed, and one would need a ROE to agree that it is allowed?

No. Only some specific tournament rules require units to remain on the map. I also seem to remember a few custom scenarios where the designers asked that players keep all units on the map.

Surely it is the other way around? The Blitz rules aside, all's fair as the game engine plays?

No. There are no "blitz rules" governing the removal of units from the map. Individual ROE's should be discussed by the players. If you mean that "all's fair" is using every little trick in the book, then I have to disagree with that. I draw the line with the famous transports block roads "trick" and transports driving deep into the enemy rear to spot "?s".

I do not use "gamey" tactics.

That is good to hear.

But again, surely the basic ROE is that there are not ROEs? Or is it?

Not exactly. ROE's exist. Some assume them. Others state them. Some discuss them. Others expect them. Some ignore them? :chin:
