Is the quarter or half turn of a LI or LC unit free of distance cost only at the beginning and the end of the move? If the unit moves straight, then turns then moves, is that a cost of 1UD?

It is always free of CP cost.

Per page 33, under LIGHT TROOPS, 1st bullet: "They can make a half-turn or a quarter-turn for free at the beginning or end of an advance move. This half-turn or quarter-turn is not counted in the movement distance." So, a half-turn or quarter-turn at any other time in the lights' movement costs 1 UD I believe. Or at least this is how I read it.

The vote is 1-1 so far. I agree that the exact wording implies it costs 1 UD in the middle of the move. But I believe the intention is that it should be free.

I believe it can be at any time in the turn. An "advance move" need not occupy the entire turn. So, for example, a unit may make a 1 UD advance move, turn, and then do a 2 UD advance move.

Page 28 "During an Advance the unit moves straight forward. One or more advances can be combined with ...."

So a given move may have more than one advance in it.

That means the first turn, which can occur at the beginning or end of any of the advance moves which happen in a turn, is free.

Any additional turn subsequent to this turn costs 1 UD.

Please note, when exiting a ZOC. the initial turn costs 1 UD per the DT.

This is based on p 34, right column, middle bullet. when it says the last turn is the freee one.

So the concept here is that lights can make any number of "Advance" moves. The first turn of one of them is free, and the second costs 1UD.

Exactly. A given turn may have multiple advances and the first turn, either at the beginning or end of any of them is free. Subsequent ones are not.

Dan is talking about a specific sub case related issue. When a light troop moves out of a ZOC the rules specify that it is the first turn which costs and the second one is free.

Specific cases override general rules.
