[Ramses II]

An Ambush marker is placed within 1UD of the centreline on one flank. The opponent places a light unit belonging to an unreliable corps at 7UD, within 4UD of the marker. The player then gets a command roll of "1" for that general. Normally this makes the unreliable corps "hesitant". How does the presence of the ambush marker affect this?

1. Does the presence of the marker within 4UD of a unit automatically make the corps "reliable", even if it is a dummy?
   
2. Is the corps "hesitant" unil the marker is revealed to contain enemy units?
   
3. Is the corps "hesitant" until an enemy unit actually moves within 4UD of one of the corps' units? (Meaning that bowmen in ambush could shoot without making the corps "reliable".

1/ No
2/ If the corps is hesitant and some of its units are revealed by the ennemy due to a mouvement within 1UD, it is no more hesitant
3/An unit in ambush can not shoot. If an ennemy unit is revealed and is within 4UD of an hesitant corps, it make it no more hesitant.

Thanks. I tend to agree that revealing a unit within 4UD of a unit should make the command "reliable". However, the strict wording says the unit must move within 4UD, hence the question.
