[Rules] 7.44 Opportunity Fire

[vince hughes]

[/i]Units with direct fire values, and AFVs with Armor Efficiency (11.2), may conduct two opportunity fires each turn.

I guess there's a couple ways I could read the above rules. The unit can conduct opportunity fire twice if both conditions apply. Otherwise it would say "or" rather than "and".

But that would mean that non-AVF units such as an AT gun or infantry unit, can't conduct opportunity fire.

So if I assume that they really meant "or" then the second issue is that most AFV units which do NOT have Armor efficiency, do have direct fire values, so it would seem that the first qualifier negates the 2nd qualifier in most cases?

Dan,

Units with DF can do 2 opp fires a turn, but only one at a target as it enters a hex. Its next opp fire would have to be either at a different target entering a hex or at the same target as it entered a different hex.

Also, units with AT effeciency & DF although being able to Opp Fire twice, can only use EITHER the DF or AT not both. Once it has fired one of the types, it can only fire the same type in it's second Opp Fire ...

Hope that makes it all simpler
