Crossfire PingPong -- 2 Questions

[Blackcloud6]

Ya'all are over thinking this one.  The rule is quite clear.

Yes, the armored car can fire first to set up the crossfire.

Yes, the German tank platoon will get the cross fire bonus whether it fires second or third.

The AT gun will not get the cross fire bonus if it fires second, but it will get the crossfire bonus if it fires third after German tank platoon fires second.

But the real lesson is don't be a dumb-ass and drive your KV-1 into such a situation because if you do, you deserve what is coming.
