Thus far....

Since I don't have access to the new thread line, I'll post my latest queries in this thread:

1) It seems likely, but is not specific, that while a Leader can combine fire with his own stack as well as those in the six adjacent hexes (with the appropriate combat modifier). If there is a same ranked Leader in that adjacent hex he cannot activate that stack to fire. That does not seem logical! It seems to indicate that combined fire is allowed if the adjacent hex has no leader or a subordinate leader.  (In a world full of Lts., THAT could get a bit hairy!

2) AFVs are not "protected" defensivley by their armor in Assaults, does that mean they are affected by other than just "x" on the CRT? (I woudn't think so..... but.....)

3) I thought I saw it written somewhere, but can't find it.... Only ONE stack (3 combat units) can Assault a hex, yes?

That's all I have for today. (I'm settling down into a pretty smooth application of the rules.... Finally!)

1) You could have a Lt activate two adjacent stack and combine fire (assuming he has the appropriate modifier). You'd just leave the Lt in the second stack unactivated.

2) Yes, tanks are more vulnerable in assault so all combat results apply.

3) You are limited to three combat units (plus potentially three APCs) in an assault but they don't have to come from the same stack. Let's say you have a Lt in one stack and another stack adjacent to him. He could activate all the units, some could use direct fire and then three of them could enter the hex for assault.
