PFC Joe actually has a good point that should actually end the whole debate but I'll bet it won't so here is my two cents on DMcGee's arguement.
The book states, "In general however, an army is entitled to one False Lead for every five hundred points it has."
The answer is in the quote you made in the first post bubba. It does not say that for every 500 points or part thereof - it clearly indicates that having 500 points is a pre-requisite for a False Lead. Therefore it would take a second full 500 points(1000 points) to have a 2nd False Lead and a third full 500 points(1500 points) to have a 3rd False Lead.
You are putting words into the sentence that aren't there. By your logic I should be able to take any portion of 2 grunt squads to take a support squad rather than two squads.
Bubba? I understand what it the quote says, however, I think that it, like other ambiguities in the book, is open to interpretation. I, firmly, do not believe that it was intended for games of less than 500 points to not have a false lead for each side. It is my opinion, and I have been trying to back it up with logic and reason.
You are, as well, entitled to your opinion, as is anyone who has a point of view on the subject. It is as valid, if not more so, than mine. I am not saying that anyone is wrong on the issue at hand. Some examples are flawed, and I pointed them out, but I did not mean to give the idea that I believe that I am right beyond all doubt. If I did, my apologies.
I believe that I am interpreting the quote from the book correctly, in keeping with the intent, and not, necessarily the text.
