"4E Air Support Rules question
Last night I used an aircraft with an AT value to attack a tank unit and I consulted the 4E rules to see how this works. According to 11.4, "... these [aircraft] units fire on hexes using their Direct Fire values normally (15.11). In addition, if any vehicle units are in the hex attacked, the owning player rolls a number of dice ...", making an Anti-Tank attack as well. I jumped to 15.0 Special Unit Types to check out Special Aircraft Anti-Tank attacks. Here, in 15.13, the second paragraph ends with the sentence, "An aircraft may execute one type of attack OR the other (Anti-Tank or Direct Fire), not both."
Rule 11.4 permits aircraft to make both DF and AT Fire attacks at the same time while rule 15.13 prohibits such attacks. Can someone please clarify this puzzle for me?
Thanks."
Good Evening All;
3 years have gone by without an outcome -
Forgive me for beating this dead horse yet again - but the situation has come up in a scenario I am currently playing and the future of a column of Panthers is at stake...
Does a Soviet IL-2-37 with a 24 in the top left corner and a 3 in a circle in the lower right corner get to attack on the 45 Column (22 Column + 2 for Adjacent) and hope for a 2X or a 3X
AND Then get to roll [3] D6 in the hopes of rolling 6's for more step losses? 11.4
OR does it have to choose DF or ATF? 15.13.
Thank You!
