So I was playing the first scenario of the Eastern Front last night and came across a situation that raised a couple of questions:

a) My opponent's roll eliminated all but one infantry figure which was forced to retreat in response to a rolled flag. My only retreat option was onto the frozen river. Therefore, I rolled the two dice resulting in a star. We assumed that my opponent subsequently earned a medal for my demise. Was this correct?

b) What if on my own accord I chose to move a single, infantry figured unit onto a frozen river tile and I rolled the star. Does my opponent receive a star medal, or am I just one unit down for the self-inflicted and unfortunate turn of events?

The Frozen River Rules on p. 3 of the Eastern Front Rule Book do not go into sufficient depth to answer the question definitively.

Thanks.

Q. An Infantry unit is attacked and forced to retreat onto a frozen river. It has one figure left. Two dice are rolled. A Star comes up and the Infantry figure is eliminated. Does this count as a medal for the opponent?
A. Yes. When rolling for units moving or retreating onto a frozen river, we have the opposition player roll to see if the ice is thin and figures are lost. Note: Frozen rivers are the only terrain where its effect is still applied when a unit retreats onto it.


And there it is officially in black and white and red.
