RE: 6.42 Firepower Enhancement
It seems although verbose, we are just dancing around the issue of whether or not adding a combat modifier constitutes a fire action. If it does, the answer is no, if it doesn't the answer is yes. The root of these long rebuttals seems to fall on the assumption that it is, without the rules actually defining it as such. Stressing how the unit is conducting a fire activation, which is not in question, isn't really clarifying the issue to the degree you are supposing.
The other thing you guys are going back and forth on is whether the leader is activated following the move within the same action segment. Consider the reverse then, so we can get to the core of the issue instead of this side issue.
The leader IS stacked with the unit. Both are activated, the unit fires with the activated leader's modifier, and THEN the leader moves out of the hex and has its moved/fired marker placed on. We circle back to core point 1. Point 2 being a distraction.
I actually always read this as disallowed based on the rules, but digging into the points Shad brought up I'm considering shifting to allowed, but undecided.
That being said, 95% of you all play with a laundry list of house rules, so does it really matter what the rules even say? Y'all gonna do what you want either way.
