RE: AT fire *during* assault
Tony,
12.52 states "They [Units in an assault hex] may conduct AT fire attacks, but only against enemy vehicles in the same hex with them".
What I understand you and Vince to be saying is that unit that is making AT fire attack is part of the assault; my interpretation is that it is not. My interpretation is the unit activates to fire but not to assault; two separate actions.
Corollary 1: the unit conducting the AT fire attack can fire before the Direct Fire value for the defenders is calculated.
Corollary 2: the unit conducting the AT fire attack does not contribute towards column shifts.
Hopefully fourth edition will be clearer as to which interpretation is correct.
