You are correct, so long as this puts your assault troops into base
to base contact with the enemy. Your opponent sounds as if he is
getting confused with SM/TL rules.
We were unsure whether the Assaults could move (10-5)*3=15 cm when
exiting, or 10*3-5=25 when exiting. I put this in the last Q&A we
sent to Jervis, and he confirms that the correct answer is the
second one. Thus, the total distance moved by your assualt marines
could be 50cm.
My apologies for the fact that this last Q&A from Jervis hasnt' made it
up on my web pages yet. I left for the Thanksgiving holiday just after
it arrived, and since then I've been having to make up for the time I
lost over the holiday! I'll get it up as soon as I can. In the meantime,
I'll post Jervis reply to the list again so you can show it to your
friends.
