I am playing Peninsula game with fixed units....A yank unit is two hexes away.....and the unit is still fixed.....I thought that there was a 5 hex rule....Or am I thnking of an entry hex.....Does anyone know what the game program is set up at.....and why the unit is still fixed with the enemy so close.....

I think that specific unit has to have an LOS to the enemy unit doesn't it?

"Select Alternate Fixed Unit Release to have Fixed units become released whenever an enemy unit comes within 5 hexes of them regardless of the line-of-sight to that enemy unit."

"If you do not know where you are going, any road will take you there."

"Certain units may start a scenario as Fixed. Fixed units may fire and may change formation, may not move until they are Released. This can occur in one of several ways:
• Units that are fired upon, or meleed against, are automatically Released.
• Depending on the scenario, there may be Releases of Fixed units built into the scenario which will release the units at specified times.
• If a Fixed unit is spotted by an enemy unit that is 5 hexes away or closer, then it automatically becomes Released. Note: under the Alternate Fixed Unit Release Optional Rule, the unit does not have to be spotted to be released."
