RE: AT fire in assault hexes
First, as a matter of clarity, my question was about AT fire in an assault hex triggering a defensive fire response. So far the consensus is that it does not, only assault combat does, but AT units firing in the assault hex would still be subject to assault combat defensive fire if other units are engaging in assault combat. (Therefore I would take the AT shot first.)
About the T-34 example, it is true that there is (at present) no requirement to announce an overrun until the attacking unit enters the hex. In that sense I can see the Panther not expecting the attack. I still don't think I would pass up such a tempting target, especially since I would expect the T-34 to move out of LOS or at least to a more survivable position. Regardless, I don't expect the overrun to go well for the T-34.
Quick note: I think the rules as are do not allow multiple units to overrun together, because units are moved individually. Is there any disagreement about that?
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat!
