Hi All
Opel Blitz - 28MP towing a gun and carrying its crew and a squad as well
Unloads Gun after stopping at 2MP so up to 16MP - can they now unload squad or can it be part of the unhook gun MPs
To be clear - simultaneous unloading of squad and unhooking a gun? is it possible or is it sequential and thus one thing at a time
Thanks in advance
Cheers

"C10.12 UNHOOKING: A Stopped vehicle not in Bypass may unhook a Gun only by spending half (FRU) of its MP/MF allotment [EXC: if the Gun's M# is circled (e.g., M6), the vehicle must expend two-thirds (FRU) of its MP/MF allotment] under the otherwise same conditions as were necessary for hooking up (
10.11). That Gun's crew may disembark from that vehicle at no extra MP/MF cost as part of that unhooking procedure, but that crew and Gun must remain TI in that hex [EXC: that vehicle may expend its remaining MP/MF]. "
"D6.5 UNLOADING: A vehicle disembarks Passengers/Riders (without the latter Bailing Out) at a cost of one-fourth (FRU) of its MP allotment [EXC: Infantry unhooking a Gun,
C10. 12]
per disembarking stack but only while stopped during its own MPh. Disembarking Personnel must expend one MF to be placed beneath the vehicle and are additionally considered to have already expended one MF for every one-fourth of the MP allotment (FRU) used by the vehicle during that turn prior to unloading. "
I think that there are three possible scenarios here
1. The squad could unload first at the cost of a quarter of its MF allotment. This would leave one half of the vehicle's MP available to unhook the gun but it could move no further thereafter. The squad would retain half of its MF to move elsewhere.
2. It could unload as part of the unhooking expenditure but at the cost of one half of its MF allotment. This would would leave it with one MF to use and the vehicle would have a quarter of its MP allotment remaining to allow it to move elsewhere.
3. It could unload after the gun is unhooked. This would exhaust the remaining MF/MP of both the squad and the vehicle
