Deos A19.131 mean that every SW (in this particualre case, two MGs) used in a Fire Group under Ammo Shortage that rolls a 12 are malfunctioned? But only one MMC, chosen by RS, ELRs?
I'm wondering because of the introductory phrase in the only sentence that refers to SWs malfunctioning under ammo shortage (per J5 errata) being 'Unit Replacement does not occur as a result of a 12 Top Hit DR, but A.11 would apply because all SW Original B#s/X#s [EXC: DC] and Ammunition Depletion Numbers are decreased by one during an Ammunition Shortage.' Should this sentence be read to mean that the reduction in B#s always applies, or only when used via a To Hit? And if more than one MMC is using an MG, are they all malfunctioned even if RS determines only one of the MMCs is replaced?
In the particular case that led to the question, a German 5-4-8 had an HMG and a 4-6-7 an LMG under Ammo Shortage and they rolled a 12, leader directed. Both MGs malf'd? Pretty clear that the MMC to be replaced is determined by RS.
What if one of the MGs was being used by a leader, who per 19.131 seems to be immune to replacement due to ammo shortage - would his MG malf as well?
