Cite your rule for that, please.
That's easy:
3.13 Unit Actions
The activated unit, leader or group performs actions in no specific order, but all actions must be designated before the first is performed. Actions are either Movement or Fire. Players need not pre-designate directions or targets - they just state which units will move and which will fire this action segment.
"Movement" includes moving (5.0), digging in (16.2), limbering/unlimbering (5.63) or attempting to recover morale (14.4). "Fire" includes direct fire (10.0), bombardment (9.0), anti-tank fire (11.0) and assault (12.0, even though initiating or joining an assault involves moving into the assault hex).
Once units are done moving and firing, mark them with Moved/Fired markers. Units marked with Moved/Fired markers may not activate again in the current turn except through Random Events (see Optional Rules).
My comments: The use of "unit" in this rule is all-encompassing because of the heading of the rule, "Unit Actions" and the immediate subsequent sentence: "The activated unit, leader or group performs actions in no specific order, but all actions must be designated before the first is performed." Furthermore, this reinforces what cjsiam states in his arguments that all actions must be predesignated prior to the first action. The stand alone term "unit" is not defined in the rules, only specific "combat units," "personnel units," "weapons units" and "transport units" are defined.
This is somewhat loose rule writing of using "unit/units" in a specific and general sense in the same rule. Nevertheless, with the pre-desgination thing, it is quite clear a moving leader cannot use his fire modifier once he has moved as then he would also be participating in a fire action when he was, in fact, predesignated to move.
