Chapter C - Questions and Answers
C1.22 (Dec 2001)
If a scenario SSR provides an OB with mortar OBA, does that
always imply that it is battalion mortar OBA? C1.23 Field Phones (August 2003) B20.95 & C.123 May a Radio/Phone be used while in Crest status?
Yes.
Is a Phone (C1.23) eliminated if unpossessed while in Crest status, or if the possessing unit loses Crest status and moves INTO the Depression (or vice-versa)?
Yes (not sure what you mean by "vice-versa"; it could be left behind IN the depression if that was where it started). C1.51 Moving in FFE (August 2003) A stopped vehicle begins its MPh in an FFE blast area. If it expends a start MP, is it attacked by the FFE (considering it somehow becomes more vulerable to the FFE)?
No. C1.57 (Feb 2002)
Does a LOS traced exactly along a hexside of a FFE qualify for the FFE
Hindrance? B27.4, A4.7, C1.51: If an Infantry unit enters a Foxhole in an Open Ground hex during the APh, but that Foxhole hex contains an FFE:2 counter, does the Infantry unit get the +4 Foxhole TEM when resolving that FFE attack?
No. B28.62; C1.7 (Dec, 2003)
Is it really true that a Barrage and / or a Creeping Barrage cannot affect Mines?
Correct. C1.81 and ASOP (SR21) In a scenario with a pre-game bombardment and a side which enters from offboard on turn 1, does the bombardment occur before or after the offboard setup? Rules section C1.81 states “Bombardment begins after setup (inclusive of units set up offboard) but prior to the start of play.” The ASOP shows bombardment occurring during the pre-game sequence, but setup of entering forces occurs at the start of the RPh for turn 1. Which is correct?
A14.1, C3.8 (March 2004) I have fired a gun that is capable of multiple hits at an infantry target. I roll twice on the IFT. One of my effects DRs is also my opponent's SAN and I choose the other effects DR. Will the sniper attack anyway even though it is my choice as to which DR is the effect?
Yes, you rolled his SAN, it applies. C5 - Firer Based TH DRMs During the Defensive Fire Phase, does a DEFENDER Motion AFV apply Case C4 including Case C2 for fire against an ATTACKER AFV that expended 1 MP in LOS during the ATTACKERS Movement Phase?
Or, does it apply Case C4 including Case C, regardless the number of MP spend by the target?
No (although it sounds like Case J2 would also apply).
Yes. C5.33 (Aug 2003) Is the fact that a Smoke Dispenser attempt is described as "firing" sufficient to permit the opponent's declaration of a Gun Duel (C2.2401, C5.33) vs. that usage attempt, assuming that the other conditions for a Gun Duel are met?
No. C2.2401 and
C5.33 Gun Duel and BFF (January 2001) C3.33 Area Target Type (April 2003) Can we please
have a ruling stating that I need LOS to a non-Aerial Location in the hex to be
able to fire ATT. C6.2 1) C3.33 Area Target Type and C6.2 Case K: Concealed Target If a mortar can see an upper building level of a hex containing enemy units only at ground level, would an area target hit against a potential HIP unit (after adding in the Case K, +2 DRM) against the upper level location also be resolved against the units out of LOS at ground level? (Effectively, this allows shelling units out of LOS by paying the Case K DRM.)
No; you have to hit a non-HIP unit.
(Clearly, from C3.33 if a non-HIP unit were in the upper level location and a hit were achieved the units out of LOS would also be hit.) C6.4, A6.12 (Oct
2001) C6.51 Must a single
acquired target that moves into a new location (still in LOS of the firer) be
tracked, or may the firer choose to leave the acquisition in the current (now
empty) location? C6.4, A6.12 C8.2 (1992) How is C8.2 "elite" status determined for the purpose of higher ordnance Depletion Numbers? 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). C8.31 Can a unit fire
a bazooka (or any SCW/HEAT ammo) at a unit claiming tem from bocage? C8.31 (March 2003) Is Factory TEM
(B23.741) sufficient building TEM to qualify for a HEAT attack per C8.31? No. C8.31 and B23.741 Is Factory TEM (B23.741) sufficient building TEM to qualify for a HEAT attack per C8.31?
C9 - Mortars Can a MTR use Area Fire to fire at a gully hex containing a unit IN the gully, if the MTR (or Spotter) does not have LOS INTO the gully, but otherwise has LOS to the gully hex (i.e. at any potential Crest unit in the gully)? Can the unit IN the gully be hit by such fire? What would the TH modifier be for hitting such an out-of-LOS unit IN the gully?
An out-of-LOS unit in a gully can be hit by a MTR _only if_ an actual (and the hardest To Hit) in-LOS unit in that hex is hit. If firing SMOKE, the non-Known unit would require the use of Case K. Rule:C9.3 Spotters
A Spotter must be Good Order to spot.
A new Spotter may not be designated until the original Spotter is "eliminated, broken or captured".
Does this mean that a berserk spotter forfeits any possbility of designing another Spotter, at the
same time as it, being no more in Good Order, cannot spot. And thus, does one have to wait, either
its elimination, either its return to normal (most often after having charged the ENEMY and being
no more adjacent to the mortar it originally spotted for)?
Yes.
C 9.31 example (last 3 lines) : does this mean a spotter loses a mortar acquisition under all the loss
conditions expressed in C6.5 (as if it were firing the mortar itself), such as : interdicting, leaving
present Location, etc.?
Yes.
Two remarks about the rules (but I might be a bad reader) :
- Only does the example of Spotting rules prove that acquisition is possible.
It is possible.
The acquisition loss due to its manning infantry firing inherent FP seems to apply only to "Guns",
which could mean that infantry possessing a SW mortar would not lose acquisition when firing its
Inherent firepower...
Incorrect.
C 9.3 Spotters "... the Spotter must be predesignated by the owning player during his PFPh/DFPh ..." May a Spotter be predesignated during setup? If yes, when must this predesignation be declared?
Counting DFF as part of the DFPh for this exercise, the Spotter may be recorded _anytime_ prior to the start of the firing phase, with that designation becoming _effective_ at the start of the firing phase. C9.3 Spotters 1. C9 - Spotted Fire. The rules state that a spotter is designated during the owning player's Prep / Defensive Fire Phases. They also state that a HIP unit can spot, but must be "recorded" as such. Can the designation of a spotter take place during setup? I assume yes, because of the comments about a HIP unit being "recorded" as the spotter.)
Yes; counting DFF as part of the DFPh for this exercise, the Spotter may be recorded _anytime_ prior to the start of the firing phase, with that designation becoming _effective_ at the start of the firing phase.
2. When a spotter dies / breaks / is captured the rules state that you must wait "until the start of the owner's MPh following such a loss of the original Spotter". Since you must designate during Prep / Defensive Fire, this effectively means you must wait till the player turn FOLLOWING the owner's next MPh. Is this correct?
No; see ASOP step 3.11A. C13.31 & A8.31 Panzerfaust Use. May a German squad marked with a First Fire counter make a PF check during the enemy movement phase?
Assuming it can still fire a SW without having to use Subsequent First Fire, i.e. it either only used it Inherent FP or only fired one SW. C13.31 and A8.31
Does C13.31 supercede A7.351?
More clearly, with C13.31 & A7.351 in mind, can a Squad First
Fire its Inherent FP and First Fire some other type of SW (including Inherent
SW) during the MPh, then try for another PF in the DFPh? C13.31 Panzerfaust Use A HS fires its PSK in the MPh and is marked with a First Fire counter. In the DFPh, may that HS attempt a PF shot vs. an ADJACENT vehicle? No, per the SW Chart, a HS can only fire one SW. Is the answer any different if the HS had fired its Inherent FP in the MPh, instead of the PSK? No. Rule: C 13.24
Does a vehicle mounted ATR also have a Small Arms 1 FP?
If answer is "yes", can it add the 1 FP to its MG attacks?
Yes to both.
C13.31 Panzerfaust Availability (March 2003) Prior to 1944,
if there are not a whole number of Squad-Equivalents in the OB, are the number
of PFs available FRD or FRU? A7.351 and C13.31 (May 2003) If a squad has
fired its inherent FP and *any* SW (including a PF Check) during Defensive First
Fire, may it fire any SW (including a PF Check) during Final Fire? C13.9 SCW use from
vehicles. |
