BF loss with AT gun

[garbare83686]

[snip] I usually don't do 'double jeopardy' with the at guns and inf sharing a hex (only 1 loss on a x/x result) [/snip].

Neither do I; I apply the same procedure as you do, with the owning player having the choice to which unit to apply the loss.

So would you do a x/2x (inf/gun) as a hit on both?

Wouldn't this rule apply? 7.52 Separate Column Modifers in One Attack

In some cases, a column modifier will apply to some units in a target hex but not others. In such a case, make one dice roll for the attack, but use different columns to determine the combat results on the different target units.
Example: An SS HMG unit with a direct fire value of 11 fires at a hex containing a Soviet INF unit, a 76.2mm artillery unit, and a truck. The range is two hexes, so the HMG attacks the INF and truck units on the 11 column of the Direct Fire Table, and attacks the artillery unit on the 22 column (+2 column modifier vs. artillery). The German player rolls once, rolling a 4. That's an M1 result vs. the INF and truck units, and an X result vs. the weapon unit. The weapon unit is eliminated, and this elimination changes the M1 morale check result for the INF unit to an M2 check (always take the worst case). The truck would have also taken an M1 morale check changed to an M2 like the INF, but the gun elimination also forced the elimination of the truck (see Direct Fire Table for combat results descriptions).


I would have had each side suffer the hit. Some days just don't work out.
