When the player is moving his\her troops Do you finish moving a entire group before resolving a PEF that has come into LOS or immediately upon the first figure making LOS? Also when the game moves PEF's do you finish moving all PEF's before resolving them or one at a time as they come into LOS Thank you for any answers or replies

THW rules default to real life. I was fortunate to have Veitnam vets, cops, other military men and bikers give me their experiences. So in the example let's say you, me and Frank are walking through the woods. I step out, they see me but no one else. You and Frank could step forward a bit or I could drop back out of sight. It's good to use the point man - guy out front - to scout. So in game terms. Step out into sight, resolve the PDF and if it's too tough step back out of sight. But they probably will be coming towards you on their turn. Hope this helps.

...Step out into sight, resolve the PDF and if it's too tough step back out of sight... That is, you need to win PEF initiative or react on a miss to duck back Which reminds me, we were on a paintball few days ago and I was tasked protecting left flank and entrance to a building. I leaned behind small window and saw a small guardhouse 30 meters away. There was some shade, it was against the sun, I didn't had my glassess.. and I realised pink bullet is coming straight to my head in slow motion... I guess it wasn't just a shade and I failed miserably that in sight test. They run us over

Also when the game moves PEF's do you finish moving all PEF's before resolving them or one at a time as they come into LOS Thank you for any answers or replies Updated, more clear, answer. You do move the whole group at the same time. The best way to do it is move all the figures the same distance at the same time. When one or more triggers and In Sight you still have 2" to move. It's like real life. The whole squad is moving at the same time. Example - I have a squad of 8 soldiers in line. They all move up 6" to the edge of the woods. Then you could move them into sight, at the same time. Think real life where they all are moving together.
Check Actions on page 16. Says group. How is this handled for NP Enemy movement? If an enemy group is on the table (via a resolved PEF) how is movement handled to attack a player group that is currently out of LOS but could be attacked after a (coordinated) move? The very first NP Enemy entering LOS would already trigger an In Sight Test while the Rest of the Enemy Group is far behind and unable to help. No, the group moves together. as page 16 says. Don't focus on individual figures mounted separately. It's still a group. Each member of the group together. Example - I want to move my group 8". I move the first guy 8" and he's in sight. I move the rest of the group 8" as well, one at a time becasue they are mounted individually. Then the In Sight takes place.
