Dash Question

Rule A4.63 for Dash says you must start from a non-OG hex, then road, then non-OG hex.  The rules does not say you have to be out of the LOS of enemy units on either side of the road, only that if you are in an OG hex you'd have to be out of LOS.

So, if there was a building, road, and building, and the enemy had LOS to all three hexes, you could still perform a Dash from building, to road, to building because you're running from non-OG hex, road, to non-OG hex...correct?

And any enemy fire to that road hex would be halved for Dash penalties even though the enemy has LOS to all three hexes...correct?

Now, in the A4.63 example, the first paragraph, second to last sentence, reads, "Even if AA7 were a building hex, an attack by the 6-2-8 vs AA7 would not be halved...."

I'm confused.  If there was a building in AA7 then the 4-6-7 would be starting in a non-OG hex (since it is out of LOS to the 6-2-8 in CC6) then running into the road at BB7, then ending in non-OG building hex AA7.  So that is a Dash.  However, the example indicates the 6-2-8 would not be subject to Snapshot penalties at BB7 and fires in the road at full six FP.

I know some folks play that if the enemy has LOS to either side of the road, regardless of terrain, then a Dash cannot be declared. This seems in partial agreement with the example, but doesn't jive with the rule text.

Is the example incorrect or what am I missing?

Thanks!
Matt
