RE: AT fire *during* assault
Your example above shows you do not understood my interpretation Vince.
Example 1: the StG's are adjacent to the T34's and activate to fire. They can do one of three things: (1) conduct AT fire at 1 hex range, (2) conduct direct fire at one hex range, or (3) assault the town hex. If they assault the town hex they must do so using their Direct Fire value and the T34's defend using their Direct Fire value.
Example 2: the StG's are in an assault hex with the T34's and activate to fire. They can do one of two things: (1) conduct AT fire, or (2) assault. If they conduct AT fire, it is like any other AT fire in the sense that there is no return fire and it is not an assault. If they assault, they must do so using their Direct Fire value and the T34's defend using their Direct Fire value.
Very simple.
Nowhere in 12.52 does it state the defender can defend using AT fire, actually the assault procedure is very clear they must use their Direct Fire value. I interpret attack 12.52 to mean the activated units to fire.
Edit: I was writing my response while Robin posted his. My interpretation is the same as his. His example is much better than mine because mine may mislead you into thinking the tanks must perform the same action.
