[Rules] AT fire *during* assault

[vince hughes]

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.

Yes and this is where we differed. I was reading it, due to it being in the assault section of the rules, to mean "Units firing in an assault hex". Whether assaulting or being assaulted.

As all my games are played hth, I will adopt the version proposed here so as to be on the same page as you and Alan ...... being a diplomatic type of guy I am

Funnily enough "Restoring The Line" our next scenario is an all infantry affair...... How ironic !
