A SMC may never portage more than two PP although one SMC can add its IPC to that of any one Good Order Infantry unit to increase the IPC of the latter, provided the two units start the phase together and move together as a stack.
Situation: Hero/HMG/9-1 want to leave a hex

I believe the rule says a SMC (the Hero) can never move with anything 3+ PP in size but that if the SW was 2PP, the Hero and Leader could combine to have their full 6MF (1 IPC on the Hero, +1 IPC for the Leader for no PP carried in excess of its IPC).

So in this situation, the Hero/9-1 would have to leave the HMG behind to leave the hex.

Confirm/deny?

q&a said:
A4.42 May two SMC together portage a 3PP weapon?
A. No. One SMC must possess the weapon and, even though the other SMC raises the first's IPC by one, the possessing SMC "may never portage more than two PP." [An96; Mw]
