Here is a situation that has come up multiple times.
OMAHA BEACH (N-02) Sector 7 is a good example.
If you Advance into Sector 7 from Sector 4, you must go through
Landmines. The Sector has a Requirement: Sacrifice Minesweeper to move here.
The rule for Landmines (p.11):
When moving from one Sector to another, if a Unit crosses a line with
Landmines, it must immediately roll 1 die to determine its losses. (...)
a Minesweeper can entirely prevent this loss.
The rule for Requirements (p.10):
When you need to sacrifice a Specialist, you must have that Specialist
in your Unit when you arrive.
My interpretation is that "moving from one Sector to another" occurs
before "when you arrive", so that the Minesweeper can be used to prevent
the loss due to Landmines before being sacrificed.
Another example: In order to reach EXERCISE TIGER (N-01) Sector 10, you
must Move through Landmines and sacrifice 1 Specialist. Since the next
stop is the Bunker, it makes sense to sacrifice the Minesweeper here, as
he has no further function.
Is there a rule that I am missing or misinterpreting?
