ASL Official Q&A: Chapter D

Printer Friendly Version

D1.81 BOW MG: In all AFV with a "#x2" multiple-BMG arrangement, both BMG malfunction, and are repaired or disabled, individually. If the player has no appropriate AFV card, all such occurrences must be noted on a side record. {p.H52}

D2.1 VEHICULAR MOVEMENT: Since a vehicle is not prohibited from expending more MP to enter a hex than the minimum required, it may, as it enters a new hex, declare a higher-than-necessary MP expenditure in order not to create Vehicle Dust. {F11.74}

D2.12 When expending a Start MP, is it necessary to declare if it is for Reverse movement?

A. Yes (i.e., forward movement is assumed unless Reverse is declared at that time). {96}

D2.32 & D3.2 If a vehicle in Bypass is hit by an ordnance weapon from within the same hex, is the Target Facing that is hit the side, or is it determined randomly?

A. Side; the Target Facing of a turret hit would depend on which way the TCA was pointing. {97}

D2.32 Is LOS drawn from the front CAFP in all cases for both fire from and to the vehicle in Bypass? Even if the vehicle is in Reverse Motion?

A. Yes. Yes. {J1}

D2.321 If a vehicular weapon fires IFE or Canister vs the same Target in the same Target facing as last fired on, does it still have to pay Case A for these shots from the Bypass side-CA?

A. No, see Errata. {97}

D2.321 Do the Case A penalties and the extra +1 DRM for firing out of the side CA while in Bypass apply only to TH attempts and/or only to MA?

A. No, they apply to all non-CC attacks by all turreted weapons at a non-Acquired target [EXC: CMG attacks vs same target in same target facing as last fired on]. {J1}

D2.401 May a Motion Attempt dr be made at the end of the opponent's MPh using the MF/MP expenditure of any qualifying enemy unit?

A. Yes. {96}

D2.401 What happens to the TCA when the VCA is changed after a successful Motion Attempt?

A. The TCA may be adjusted to any desired hexspine. See Errata. {97}

D2.5 Can a tracked amphibious vehicle attempt an ESB DR while using amphibious movement?

A. No--but it could be used to gain land MP in the same turn that it used amphibious MP. {96}

D2.5 If a tracked AFV enters terrain that requires "ALL" of its MP allotment, may it then attempt ESB to gain extra MP?

A. No. {96}

D2.51 If a vehicle with red MPs wishes to make a Motion attempt(D2.401), must it also make a Mechanical Reliability DR?

A. Yes. For Mechanical-Reliability/Stall purposes, treat the vehicle as if it were expending a Start MP [EXC: if it Stalls, it simply fails to go into Motion, no ensuing Delay-MP DR is made]. {96}

D3.2 & D2.32 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D3.51 & C5.11 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D3.71 & C8.9 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D3.71 If a Gun with a circled B# fires using IFE with an attack DR >=of that B#, is a Low Ammo counter placed on the Gun?

A. Yes. {96}

D4.3 & B20.8 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D5.1 FREE FRENCH: Free French Inherent crews are considered British when determining their morale as per D5.1. {F.8B}

D5.31 If an AFV uses different CE DRM against attacks from different directions (e.g., see German Vehicle Note G), which one applies vs a Residual FP attack?

A. The one that applies to the greatest number of individual turret/upper-superstructure Target Facings for that AFV (e.g., +2 for the sIG IB, which has a +3 CE DRM for its upper-superstructure front Target Facing, a +2 CE DRM for its two upper-superstructure side Target Facings, and no CE DRM ["*"] for its upper-superstructure rear Target Facing) [EXC: vs a Fire Lane attack, use the CE DRM that applies to the turret/upper-superstructure Target Facing "hit" by that attack]. {96}

D5.31 May PRC that are CE claim TEM instead of CE DRM when subjected to a General Collateral Attack (A.14B)? A Specific Collateral Attack (A.14A)?

A. Yes. No. {J1}

D5.32 & C3.32 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D5.411 Is there any way to self-destruct a vehicle that cannot have an Inherent Crew?

A. No. {96}

D5.6 & D6.9 What happens to any SW possessed by Passengers/Riders that fail their CS roll? Unpossessed SW?

A. Both possessed and unpossessed SW are eliminated. {97}

D6.1 May a broken Passenger remain aboard a vehicle that has no Inherent Crew until otherwise forced to rout? What is the procedure for a broken Passenger that wishes to rout out of a vehicle whose Inherent Crew is unbroken (or that has only an Inherent Driver)?

A. Yes. Once the vehicle is Stopped, each Passenger routs beneath it as per D5.311. {96}

D6.2 & C7.42 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D6.21 Must a Rider Bail Out if its AFV moves through bocage via a Breach?

A. No. {96}

D6.24 The rule says that if a Bailing Out unit does not break, any SW it is carrying must still be removed from the vehicle; does the unbroken Bailing Out unit retain possession of the removed SW?

A. Yes. {96}

D6.4 If an Infantry unit enters an Abandoned vehicle to become its inherent crew (D5.42), is the vehicle considered to be "expending" all its MP so that it can be Defensive First Fired upon just as any vehicle that is loading Personnel units?

A. Yes, but not as a moving target of course. {96}

D6.4 If a vehicle is attacked as a result of MP expenditure for loading a Personnel unit, is the Personnel unit considered Vulnerable PRC with respect to that attack so that it would suffer a Specific Collateral Attack from it?

A. Yes--if the vehicle is unarmored or if the Personnel become Riders or CE in an AFV; no--if they load as BU AFV Passengers. {96}

D6.5 May you only unload infantry in Bypass if they have sufficient remaining MF to enter the obstacle?

A. No. {96}

D6.5 May Passengers or Riders be Unloaded with the use of Movement Points gained by ESB (D2.5)?

A. No; once a vehicle has spent > 3/4 of its printed MP allotment, the Personnel will have spent > 3/4 of their MF allotment, leaving no MF left to unload. {97}

D6.63 If a Passenger fires during its AFPh from an armored halftrack that has moved, is its FP halved for Bounding Fire and then halved again for firing during the AFPh?

A. No. {96}

D6.631 If a vehicle has armament that is Removable by a Passenger (e.g., the German SPW 251/sMG), is that armament Removed as part of the normal D6.5 unloading cost?

A. Yes. {96}

D6.631 & D10.5 SW REMOVAL & SCROUNGING: (See F.9 for British/U.S. vehicles) {96}

D6.64 May Cavalry (A13) riders form Fire Groups?

A. Yes. {J1}

D6.82 & A26.21 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D6.9 & D5.6 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D7.1 When a vehicle declares an OVR, may its DEFENDER target attack it before the OVR is resolved? If yes, would that DEFENDER have to use Reaction Fire?

A. Yes. No -- it would be Reaction Fire only if conducted after the OVR resolution (see the last sentence of D7.2). {96}

D7.11 If Passengers/Riders participating in a declared OVR attack become Pinned, broken or eliminated before the OVR is resolved, is there any effect to their OVR FP?

A. No. {97}

D7.11 If a vehicle's crew is eliminated or breaks after it had declared an OVR

attack, is there any effect on the FP of the OVR? If it is Pinned, or forced to BU?

A. Yes, since the vehicle is now Immobile, the OVR FP is halved. No. {J1}

D7.13 If an armed vehicle conducts an OVR, may it still fire its MA later in the same MPh?

A. Only as part of another OVR (i.e., as per D7.14). {96}

D7.2 Can an Infantry unit attack an enemy AFV in its Location (after passing a PAATC) during the Infantry unit's PFPh?

A. No--not with Reaction Fire anyway. {96}

D7.21 If an AFV moves into a road hex that is ADJACENT to building hexes on both sides of the road, can Infantry units on the ground level of those buildings who have Final Fire counters on them attack the AFV using Reaction Fire as their FPF?

A. No. {96}

D7.21 Is a CC marker placed immediately after a CC Reaction Fire attack is made?

A. Yes, unless the vehicle and PRC are eliminated by the attack. {J1}

D7.211 & A11.8 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D7.22 Is a CC marker placed immediately after a non-CC Reaction Fire (or any other same-Location TPBF) attack? Is the CC marker removed when only one side occupies the Location?

A. No, not until the armed vehicle (or unit) ends its MPh in the defender's Location (see also A7.211, A8.31, A12.151, A13.61, A15.432, A25.234, E9.43, and G1.423). Yes. {J1}

D8.3 When multiplying the wdr by the cdr to determine the number of Start MP used to start a Bogged vehicle, is the Original cdr used or is the Final cdr used?

A. The Original cdr. {J1}

D9.3 Since a Stopped AFV which had been a Moving Target earlier that Turn provides a +1 TEM following the AFPh, would it also present a +1 Hindrance as if it hadn't moved?

A. Yes. {96}

D9.3 Does the AFV TEM DRM apply to units Abandoning the AFV due to Immobilization TC (D5.5) or Crew Survival (D5.6) even if the AFV is considered Moving?

A. Yes. {J1}

D9.31 If Infantry using Armored Assault breaks, does it still receive the +1 TEM for the vehicle if the latter remains in the Infantry's Location? If the AFV ends its MPh in Motion?

A. Yes. No (but note that Motion status does not apply until the end of the Vehicle MPh). {96}

D9.31 During the DFPh, does Infantry which Armored Assaulted with an AFV that MPh receive a +1 TEM if still stacked with that AFV? Does other Infantry stacked with that AFV?

A. Only if the AFV is Stopped. No. {96}

D9.31 While Armored Assaulting, an AFV spends three MP to enter a hex but the Infantry spends only one MF. Having First Fired once (A8.3), may an enemy unit fire again at the same moving stack?

A. Yes, but the second shot could only affect the AFV. {J1}

D9.31 & A4.63 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D9.4 Is a concealed vehicle a LOS Hindrance? Must its owner show that it is not a Dummy stack?

A. Yes. Only if it would turn a hit into a miss (or no effect into an effect), or vice-versa. {96}

D9.5 ARMORED CUPOLA: Since it is treated as an Immobile tank, CC vs. an armored cupola requires the use of PAATC and CCV in the normal manner. An armored cupola set up directly behind a wall/hedge is always assumed to have Wall Advantage over those hexsides (even if set up after an enemy unit that is ADJACENT to it across such a hexside(s)) unless it is Abandoned or its Inherent crew is shocked/stunned. If an armored cupola is set up using HIP, it is revealed when an enemy unit enters its Location (or attempts to claim Wall Advantage while ADJACENT to it). If this occurs in the APh, the entering unit must immediately take a PAATC (if normally required to do so), failure of which Pins it in the armored cupola's Location. an Armored Cupola may also be placed in shellhole or debris terrain. An armored cupola, if considered a Dug-In tank, can become a burning wreck. {96}

D10.1 May a non-burning wreck be attacked, e.g., in an attempt to set it Ablaze?

A. Yes [EXC: if it is a Burnt-Out Wreck], and by either side. For attack and resolution purposes, treat the wreck as if it were still the original vehicle [EXC: for CC purposes it does not necessitate PAATC, cannot be Ambushed, and is considered CE, Immobile, Abandoned, and with no useable MG]. When first placing

A. Wreck counter, be sure to retain the VCA of the original vehicle when it was destroyed (but, for simplicity, assume its TCA to be the same as its VCA). {96}

D10.5 When a wreck/abandoned vehicle that has more than one type of scroungeable weapon is successfully scrounged, are the weapon(s) that are being scrounged selected by Random Selection, or can the scrounger chose which weapon(s) that are scrounged?

A. The weapon(s) are selected randomly. {97}

D10.5 & A9.72 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D10.5 & D6.631 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

D10.51 SCROUNGING: Any functioning CMG that may be repositioned as an AAMG may be Scrounged. (See French Vehicle Note A.) Scrounging a Fixed-Mount (D1.81) BMG is NA. (See French Vehicle Note B). {p.H121} & {p.H122}

D13.32 May a sM be fired from inside a building or from within dense jungle?

A. No. {96}

D13.32 Does the +2 DRM for firing the sM of a "moving/Motion AFV" apply to a Stopped vehicle that qualifies for being a Moving Target per C.8? To a Non-Stopped vehicle that is not a Moving Target?

A. Yes. No. {96}

D14.21 What is the procedure when more than one AFV in a platoon is subject to Bog, but with different Bog DRM?

A. Make one DR, then determine, based on the applicable DRM, which AFV would bog, and then use Random Selection among the AFV. {97}

D14.22 & D14.23 Must a radioless AFV that is using Platoon Movement take a NTC when its sole platoon-mate becomes Immobile or is eliminated?

A. No, it may continue to move normally in that MPh. {96}

D14.23 If a radioless AFV fails its non-platoon movement NTC, may its Crew then Abandon that AFV in that MPh? May it Bounding First Fire?

A. No. No. {96}

D14.23 Must radioless AFV enter in Platoon?

A. Yes; only on-board radioless AFV may use non-platoon movement. {J1}
