C.4 How is ordnance penalized when firing from terrain in which Area Fire applies (e.g., a LATW firing from marsh or shallow stream)?

A. TH Case K applies. Such use would be cumulative with any other application of Case K for firing at a target that is not Known to the firer. {96}

C1.2 & C9.3 Does Guarding prisoners affect a unit's ability to act as a mortar Spotter or use a radio/field phone?

A. A Guard cannot perform these functions if his US# is < the total US# as his prisoners. {AP1}

C1.21 In which of the following cases will the player have to attempt to regain Battery Access the next turn (assuming he establishes Radio Contact):

A) He chooses not to place any AR/SR onboard after gaining Battery Access (C1.3).

b) He chooses not to place any AR/SR or convert a FFE:C, thus removing the FFE:C counter.

c) An extra chit has to be drawn, and this extra chit is red so that the AR/SR is removed (C1.21).

d) An AR to correct an FFE:2 (or to immediately place a FFE:1 after dispensing with the SR) is placed out of the Observer's LOS and the opponent decides that the current Fire Mission is Cancelled (C1.3).

e) Radio Contact is "voluntarily" lost.

f) The player cancels the SR without placing an AR/SR.

A. All. {AP1}

C1.21 & C1.731 If an extra chit draw (as per C1.21) would ordinarily be needed in order to place an AR, would it still be necessary even when placing an AR in order to place a FFE:1 in a Pre-Registered hex as per C1.731?

A. Yes. {AP1}

C1.22 If Radio Contact is involuntarily lost while the battery's SR is onboard, and Contact is not regained in the next PFPh/DFPh, what happens to the SR?

A. As long as the absence of Radio Contact is not voluntary, the SR remains onboard in its present hex until otherwise corrected or canceled. {AP1}

C1.22 & C1.6 When is the absence of Radio Contact considered "voluntary"?

A. Failing to roll when the Observer has no LOS to the SR's/FFE's Blast Height (C1.22) or when loss of Contact was due to voluntary rout (C1.6). {AP1}

C1.33 & C1.4 After maintaining Radio Contact, may an Observer leave a SR in place as his OBA action for that phase?

A. Yes, if the Observer has a LOS to its Blast Height. {AP1}

C1.335 Must an Observer Correct or Cancel a SR if he has a LOS to its Blast Height but, disregarding SMOKE, not to a Known (to him) enemy unit in a non-Aerial Location in/adjacent-to that SR's hex?

A. No, if he has a LOS to the base level of the SR's hex, he may Convert the SR to an FFE and leave it in that hex (possibly needing to draw an extra chit); regardless, he may also attempt to Correct and Covert per C1.332. {AP1}

C1.335 Can the Observer Correct the SR when, disregarding SMOKE, he cannot see it, but can see a Known unit in a non-Aerial Location in/adjacent-to the SR's hex?

A. No; he can Cancel the SR and place an AR (C1.336). {AP1}

C1.336 & C1.343 Do you have to attempt to place an AR after you have cancelled the SR (C1.336) or removed the FFE:C (C1.343)? Assuming Radio Contact was maintained, what would happen in the next PFPh/DFPh when there is no SR/FFE onboard?

A. No. You must attempt to gain Battery Access. {AP1}

C1.34 What OBA options does the Observer have if he did not have a LOS to the FFE:C's Blast height during the current phase prior to achieving Access?

A. C1.343. {AP1}

C1.343 & C1.336 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C1.4 & C1.33 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C1.51 Assume a rowhouse Location within an FFE Blast Area. If Infantry in that Location exit the hex using "rowhouse bypass" (B23.71), are they attacked by the FFE as they leave the hex? If Infantry enter the rowhouse Location using "rowhouse bypass", are they attacked by the FFE with Open Ground TEM or building TEM?

A. No. Open Ground TEM. {AP1}

C1.54 Do units in a friendly Bombardment suffer a drop in morale level?

A. Yes. See Errata {97}

C1.57 If a unit's LOS crosses the Blast Area of two different HE Concentrations, is the FFE Hindrance DRM to that LOS "+1" or "+2"? What if the LOS crosses one hex that is in the Blast Area of two different HE Concentrations?

A. In both cases the FFE Hindrance DRM would be "+2". Each HE Concentration/Barrage is a separate Hindrance. {AP1}

C1.6 & C1.22 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C1.6 May an Observer use a radio during the PFPh and then during the MPh be moved by the vehicle he occupies? May this be done if he is Inherent in an OP tank?

A. No to both. {AP1}

C1.7 Is the type of Fire Mission announced when a SR is predesignated for Conversion to an FFE:1 per C1.332, or only when the FFE:1 actually appears on board?

A. Besides when an FFE:1 is actually placed, the type of Fire Mission must also be announced each time a SR is predesignated for conversion to an FFE:1, even if it does not actually convert. {AP1}

C1.71 May a FFE:1 resolved as Smoke be resolved as WP when it is a FFE:2 (or vice-versa), if the OBA can fire SMOKE?

A. No. {AP1}

C1.71 & A24.1 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C1.73 When recording the location of a Pre-Registered hex, is a LOS from the Observer to that hex required?

A. No. {AP1}

C1.731 & C1.732 If one chooses to place a SR in a Pre-Registered hex instead of a FFE:1, does C1.732 still apply to the accuracy of the SR?

A. Yes. {AP1}

C1.732 & C1.731 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C1.732 What is the Accuracy dr required for a pre-registered Offboard Observer (C1.63)?

A. 4 or less. {J1}

C1.82 & A12.14 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C1.82 If a unit breaks due to Bombardment, does it become DM?

A. Yes. {AP1}

C1.9 May a rocket OBA module be assigned a Pre-Registered hex, in order to halve its Extent-of-Error dr?

A. Yes. {AP1}

C2.24 & C8.4 Do Guns firing Canister still have their normal ROF?

A. Yes. {97}

C2.2401 If an AFV successfully passes a Motion Attempt dr in the enemy MPh and changes its CA (D2.401) but then becomes involved in a Gun Duel, must it use TH Case A?

A. Yes. {96}

C2.29 May an IFE-capable Gun that has exhausted its Multiple ROF use IFE again as Intensive Fire?

A. No; it could only use Sustained Fire, and only if also using Subsequent-First/Final-Protective Fire or Final Fire (since the use of Sustained Fire is permitted only to a DEFENDER MG/IFE-Gun and only during the MPh/DFPh). {96}

C3.2 Can a Gun fire in its own hex (i.e., is its own hex considered in its CA)? Do the same principles apply to BMG/CMG (D1.81-.82)?

A. Yes; except during the MPh if the hex is entered from outside the CA, when, even if the moving target expends MP for some other purpose (e.g. firing sD or stopping and unloading Passengers), the Gun would still have to turn its CA to include the direction from which the hex was entered, or if the bow-mounted weapon of an Immobile vehicle (D8.5); see C5.51. Yes. {J1}

C3.22 When a Gun is Recovered, may its CA be changed at that time?

A. No. {J1}

C3.31 Can Vehicle Target Type be employed against a hidden or concealed vehicle? Does the specified order (C.9) of target type (Vehicle, Infantry, Area) apply even if firing at a Location with no known targets? Must the defender reveal any information beyond what, if anything, is hit?

A. Yes, the existence of an actual vehicle is not required. Yes. No. {J1}

C3.32 & D5.32 According to C3.32, AFV are immune to the Infantry Target Type, but not their Vulnerable PRC. According to D5.32 & D.6, a CE crew cannot be targeted separately from its vehicle, but only affected Collaterally. Are these rules in conflict?

A. No, an AFV may be hit via Infantry Target type; it (but not its Vulnerable PRC) is "immune to damage from such a hit." {J1}

C3.33, C3.4, A8.1, & A24.31 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C3.73 If HE achieves a CH versus terrain that can be set-Ablaze/Rubbled, is the attack's doubled-FP IFT column used to determine if the original IFT DR is a KIA for Rubble/Flame purposes?

A. No--the non-CH FP column is used. {96}

C3.74 & A7.301 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C3.8 May a Gun that, as per a pertinent Vehicle/Ordnance Note, is allowed to make two TK DR per hit also able to achieve Multiple Hits?

A. No, regardless of whether or not its TH DR was made versus an armored target. {96}

C4.1-.3 Do these rules also apply to MTR and INF type SW?

A. Yes--and to 20mm ATR as well. {96}

C4.1 Does the Barrel Length TH# Modifier apply to SW ordnance?

A. Yes. {97}

C4.2 Does the Small Caliber TH# Modifier apply to SW ordnance?

A. Yes. {97}

C5 Do Cases B, D, G & H apply to a non-LATW SW firing as ordnance? Does Case H?

A. Yes; except that MG use is NA. Yes. {97}

C5.11 & D3.51 If an AFV in a rubble/building/woods hex fires a Gun as Bounding First Fire and that Gun retains its Multiple ROF, then I believe (as an EXC to C5.11) that the Gun would not have its CA fixed for further Bounding Fire in the same phase (i.e., the AFV could expend MP to change the Gun's CA in the same hex and fire it again from the new CA). Am I correct?

A. Yes. {96}

C5.11 Does a Gun Defensive First Firing during the MPh from a woods/building/rubble Location have its CA fixed for the remainder of the MPh or through the DFPh?

A. The MPh, or, if Pinned, the DFPh. {J1}

C5.35 MOTION FIRE: No Gun Counter--regardless of nationality--may use Motion Fire while being carried en porte. {p.H127}

C5.6 May a vehicular-mounted MG/ATR/light-MTR use Intensive Fire?

A. Yes, if it is MA. Such a weapon is considered a Gun (C2.1) {96}

C5.6 May an ATTACKER/DEFENDER (vehicular) Gun use Intensive Fire during the MPh?

A. Yes, unless otherwise prohibited. {96}

C6.42 Can the Crest level of a Depression hex be Bore Sighted by a Gun which does not have a LOS INTO the Depression? And if a Gun has a LOS INTO a Depression and it Bore Sights the hex, does its Bore Sighting DRM apply simultaneously to both the Crest and non-Crest levels of that hex?

A. Yes. Yes. {96}

C6.43 Does a Bore-Sighted weapon that enters or exists an entrenchment retain its Bore-Sighting if it otherwise remains in the same Location?

A. No--nor could it if it changed Crest status, became dm and/or was loaded/hooked/Packed onto some form of conveyance in its Location. {96}

C6.5 If an AFV that currently has an Acquired Target is attacked in CC by some other unit, can the acquisition be retained? Can an AFV decline to attack back in CC with its CMG just to preserve Acquisition?

A. No. No. {96}

C6.5 If infantry in the APh moves out of the CA of a Gun that has acquired it, but is still in the Gun's LOS, is the acquisition lost or can the CA be changed to retain it?

A. Nothing requires the CA to change--the target remains acquired as long as it is in LOS, and the Acquisition DRM will negate part of the Case A DRM when the CA does change. {96}

C7.11-7.24 Do TK Cases A-D apply to MG attacks?

A. A, B, and D do, but not C. {J1}

C7.34 HE & FLAME TK TABLE: Does an AFV FT suffer any modifiers to its basic TK# for being Motion/Non-Stopped?

A. No. {96}

C7.346 When attacking a partially armored AFV with a DC, is it necessary to make a DC Position DR?

A. Yes. {96}

C7.346 & A23.4 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C7.42 & D6.2 If a vehicle becomes a wreck as per C7.42, are its Riders affected? Can the Riders unload as per D6.5 before the vehicle becomes a wreck?

A. They roll for survival (D6.9). Yes. {97}

C8.2 How is C8.2 "elite" status determined for the purpose of higher ordnance Depletion Numbers?

A. An armed-vehicle/weapon in a printed scenario is considered "elite" for this purpose only if the historical formation to which it belongs is either SS or Russian Guards; otherwise it must be specified as "elite" by SSR. For a DYO scenario it is considered "elite" only if the Majority Squad Type of its side's total OB is Elite. Note that such an armed-vehicle/weapon would have all of its Depletion Numbers--not just those for APCR/APDS--raised by one. Note too that such "elite" status would apply to any applicable armed-vehicle/weapon with >= one Depletable ammo type (i.e., not just to AFVs). {96}

C8.31 Can HEAT potentially cause rubble regardless of its Caliber Size?

A. Yes, even if fired by a SCW (i.e., the 70+mm restriction of B24.11 does not apply to HEAT). {96}

C8.31 & B9.32 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C8.31 & C13.24 May an ATR use the Infantry Target Type to attack Infantry using AP HE Equivalency? Could it thus achieve a CH?

A. Only if it is a 20L (i.e. 20mm) ATR. {96}

C8.4 Can Intensive Fire be used to fire Canister with the normal +2 TH DRM applying as an IFT DRM instead?

A. No; Intensive Fire may be used, but halves the FP instead. {97}

C8.4 Does a Canister attack require a LOS to the vertex aiming point? Is LOS to each Location determined independently? Are Hindrance DRM based on LOS to the target vertex or to each affected Location?

A. No. Yes. Each Location. {97}

C8.4 & A9.5 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C8.4 & C2.24 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C8.6 Within the restrictions of C8.6, can WP be fired at a moving enemy unit during the enemy MPh? If yes, would only the moving unit(s) in the target Location be subject to the NMC?

A. Yes to both. However, the WP would still have to be fired before any non-SMOKE ammo in that phase. {96}

C8.9 & D3.71 If a Gun with a circled B# attempting to fire Special Ammunition makes a TH DR that is > that ammo type's Depletion # and >= that B#, is the shot (as per C8.9) assumed to not have occurred, or (as per D3.71) is a Low Ammo counter placed on the Gun?

A. The shot is assumed to have occurred, and a Low Ammo counter is placed; i.e. such a shot counts for both Malfunction and Low Ammo purposes. {96}

C9.3 If a MTR has a Spotter, can it fire at units that are in its manning unit's LOS but not in its Spotter's LOS?

A. Yes. {96}

C9.3 May a leader in the same Location as a SW mortar using Spotted Fire modify that mortar's TH DR? May a leader that is Spotting or that is stacked with a Spotter?

A. Yes. No. {96}

C9.3 & C1.2 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C10.1 May a unit attempt to repair a hooked-up Gun?

A. No. {96}

C10.11-.12 May a unit change a Gun's CA as it unhooks that Gun?

A. Yes, and its CA may also be changed as part of the hooking-up procedure. {96}

C10.111 If Infantry (i.e. not unloading Personnel) wish to unhook a Gun from a vehicle, must they first Recover the Gun?

A. Yes; however, a Gun (or dm SW counter) carried in the vehicle (e.g., a 76-107mm MTR; C10.1) can be unloaded only by a Passenger as per the last sentence of D6.5. {96}

C10.3 In determining the Manhandling DRM based on TEM, if a Gun is pushed across a wall hexside via a road that goes through a break in the wall, is there still a +2 wall TEM Manhandling DRM? If a Gun is pushed into a non-pontoon bridge hex via a road hexside, is there still a +1 Manhandling DRM based on the bridge's TEM?

A. No. No. {96}

C10.3 If a unit successfully pushes a Gun into a new hex, may it also change the Gun's CA in the new hex? May it change the CA if it fails to push the Gun?

A. Yes. No. {96}

C10.3 & E5.2 What is the C10.3 "+Y" DRM for Manhandling a boat into marsh (B16.4) or a fordable Water Obstacle (B21.41)?

A. Just like a Gun, a boat may not be Manhandled into such terrain, although one could of course be Beached in such terrain (if the marsh were flooded) in the normal manner. (An96}

C10.41 TRAILERS: A trailer, regardless of type/towing-vehicle, never leaves a wreck when it is destroyed. {p.H59, British Vehicle Note 38}

C11.2 May a Gun that is set up manned by a squad/HS/SMC be Emplaced? May a squad/HS/SMC manning an already-Emplaced Gun claim Emplacement TEM?

A. No. No for the squad, but yes otherwise. {96}

C11.4 If Infantry manning a Gun, and >= one other Infantry unit in the Gun's Location, are hit by an ordnance/OBA attack that causes a K or KIA result, does the Gun automatically receive a Direct Hit?

A. No--use Random Selection to determine the recipient(s) of the K/KIA. {96}

C11.51 If the FP of a FG attacking a Gun includes both MOL and Small Arms Fire, could a gunshield DRM modify the attack?

A. Yes, but the FG could opt to decline its Small Arms FP and attack only with the MOL to avoid the gunshield DRM. {96}

C12.21 The rule says that leadership DRM can never apply when firing a RCL; can't a leader apply his leadership DRM to a RCL attack being made by a MMC in his hex?

A. No. {96}

C12.24 May a RCL use acquisition in the DFPh against a Stopped vehicle that qualifies as a Moving Target per C.8?

A. No, not even if firing at that target again after retaining ROF. {96}

C13.24 & C8.31 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

C13.42 If using a BAZ 45 to fire WP, does the target's TEM apply both to the TH DR and to any resulting WP MC?
