3.13 Reexamined

[cjsiam]

Only problem is once you activate the col in #1---do the results, etc....he's done, fini, set.   
he can't "like the results and do more"....that's not how the activation works---that's not how the game works...

Conversely, you could use the captain to activate the two mortars (he's got a 1)....but, you'd have to activate all those
other units that want to use the combat modifiers (+2col; +1 cap) within that same activation.....

I guess the only question is---IF that captain uses his +1combat to combine fire of the mortars, CAN HE IN THE SAME ACTIVATION
use his +1 combat modifier to ALSO modify the DF of a unit he is stacked with?....... I see nothing in the rules that says he can only
use if for one thing per turn....it's that he has that capability...to combine fire, to increase effectiveness of fire...
I'd say he can do the combine mortars, and add to a firefight at the same time.
