Unit with Hero and Suppression

By locarno, in Dust Warfare Rules Discussion

ok, so when a Unit with a Hero gets "hit", it receives a suppression marker as per usual, and a lone Hero never receives suppression markers.

what happens if a Unit with a Hero is hit (supression marker received) and then on the same turn, another hit kills the last remaining infantry figure leaving the Hero alone?

does

a) the Hero receive the second suppression marker because the marker is given during the "hit" that kills the last regular figure?

b) the Hero does not receive the suppression marker because he is a "hero" but keeps the initial supression marker from the first hit?

c) the Hero does not receive the suppression marker because he is a "hero" and the initial suppression marker is immediately discarded as well?

thx,

The answer is C. Page 59 of the rulebook, last sentence of the, "Heroes and Suppression" rule reads…

"If a Hero is the last miniature alive in a unit, he immediately removes all Suppression markers and is treated as operating independently for the rest of the game (or until a medic restores a member of his squad)."
