More FC:A Questions

Okay, I was about to play Tyre (actually played a few turns, then
realized I had done things like built more than 1 mole/turn wrong and
ran into these questions). 

1. When the walls are finally breached, do all unbreached wall segments
still count as forces for battle plan draws, force advantage and die
roll modifiers? For arguments sake, if I get lucky and hit with 2 SEs on
the second turn and knock down the same wall section, would I be facing
a -10 DRM? The same would apply if the mole is completed (possible -12
DRM?). 

2. The setup for Tyre has 3 Persian Forces: an archer, a peltast and an
infantry (or whatever, I don't have the map in front of me). I assume
this means that these are the 3 forces in there, not 3 random forces
plus these. 

3. The special rules say that no cavalry or phalanxes can be bought
until Tyre is conquered (presumably to prevent a run to Gaza first).
What about when I'm playing the 4 campaigns sequentially and have
cavalry and phalanxes left over from Issus? 

4. Once walls are breached, does Alexander still have to make a scouting
roll to enter Tyre? 

I think that's it.

The remaining walls do not effect the battle

Correct.

You can keep them, you just can't buy more. 

>4. Once walls are breached, does Alexander still have to make a
scouting roll to enter Tyre?

Yes. You enter as normal. (I edited this answer. I misread the question
the first time.)
