For the archive:

Can you activate the same unit in both Action Segments? The rules
clearly say no, but then go on to list numerous examples of units doing
so, as well as having rules that assume they can, like the ROF rule. So
which is it? 

*The answer is no. However, the game does work fine if you choose to
play it this way (allowing the same unit to be used in both segments).
Note that Melee combat and firing with the same unit is allowed. 

OK. There are several reasons why I was uncertain. First, both the
Action example on page 4 and Combat Example on page 9 has units taking
actions in both action segments. I take it both these examples are in
error. Or have I overlooked something? 

*The examples should show the units to be "different" units, not the
same ones. 

Second, the Rate of Fire rule on page 14 says the ROF is "per impulse
phase, not per segment. Thus an artillery unit that has a ROF of 4 could
fire twice in each segment." This also seems to be at odds with the
prohibition for activating the same unit twice. Did I miss something? 

*Twice meaning, firing two times in the first and second segments for a
total rate of 4 per impulse. Exception to the rule. 

How is this exception handled? Can all units with a ROF of 2 or more be
activated in both segments? Or only units with a ROF of 4? 

*Units with a RPF of 2 or 4 

By the way, do you have to pay MPs for EACH fire, or just once to fire
in a segment. 

*once 

The rules say the ROF is "per inpulse, not segment (tanks excepted)?
Does this mean tanks can fire up to its ROF in a segment, but not be
activated twice in an impulse? 

*yes 

Another thing I am a bit uncertain about. On page 5: "When a hex is
attacked with a MG, all units not hit are automatically suppressed. If
there is no hit on the infantry unit, but a modified roll of 10 or less
occurs, the target is suppressed." These two sentences seem to
contradict each other. One possible interpretation is that the first
case applies only if someone was hit in the hex, and the second if no
one was hit. Is that right? 

*Yes, that is exactly right. 

A question on opportunity fire, just to be certain: If a unit is fired
at by opportunity fire, is it suppressed REGARDLESS of the result of the
fire? That's what the rule says, I know, I just wanted to make sure. 

*Yes 

Some more questions on opportunity fire: Can units gang up to fire
opportunity fire, or do they fire singly? 

*Single 

Opposing units can only make one opportunity fire. Is this per segment,
per impulse or per turn? 

*Per turn 

I take it units firing opportunity fire have to spot like normal people.
If the unit fails its spotting roll, is it considered to have made its
one opportunity fire? 

*Yes, but if the spot roll fails on that moving unit, it may try again
on another since it had not fired Op fire. 

A unit moves into a hex. It is fired on by opportunity fire. After the
fire is resolved, can another unit fire opportunity fire on it before it
moves another hex? 

*If the unit could see the moving unit before it had ended its movement,
otherwise, no. 

The rules say up to 4 units can fire together, but the infantry fire
strength determination table only list up to three units. What is the
fire strength of four infantry units firing together? 

*Oops, should say 3 units. 

Speaking of obscure references, the sequence of play says you can
activate up to four units, or "all units of a type". This is mentioned
nowhere else in the rules, where it is repeated that you can only
activate four units per segment. Is this reference in error? If not, how
do you define what units are of "the same type"? Are tanks a type, or do
are all tanks of a certain model a type, for example? 

*That is bad wording. I simply mean four different units. Ignore Type. 

The rules talk of modifiers to the blast roll. What modifiers are these?

*Probably modifiers for terrain 

What is the blast rate of the 37mm gun that you added to some Whippets
as an addendum? 

*3 

Another question on spotting: Is spotting done before or after you spend
the MPs for firing? That is, would a unit that failed to spot its target
still have used up its MPs for firing? 

*no
