Relative newbie question using 2nd ed RB.
This question refers to A4.63 and A9.22 / A9.222 / A9.223. I did not find any reference to dash in the A9.22 and A9.222 sections which I thought was odd.
It is the German MPh.
A 4-6-7 in a building wants to dash across the road to another building hex containing (2) Russian "?" counters. Three hexes away is a Soviet 4-4-7/MMG. The 4-4-7/MMG has an LOS to the road hex but neither of the building hexes.
The 4-6-7 declares dash and enters the street. The 4-4-7 First Fires using just the MMG by announcing a Fire Lane.
?? Since the Fire Lane did not exist before the 4-6-7 declared the dash does the Fire Lane cancel out the Area Fire benefit of the Dash??
?? Can the 4-4-7/MMG use its squad inherent FP to fire at the 4-6-7 in the road location as part of the Fire Lane?? As a separate First Fire attack??
?? Next question, assumming the 4-6-7 survives First Fire in the road hex and attempts to enter the building but can not because one of the "?" counters is revealed to be a 4-4-7. Is the 4-6-7 subject to the Fire Lane residual FP even though it did not leave it hex?? [I think the answers is YES per A8.2]
?? Is this right?: The 4-4-7/MMG MAY NOT use its squad inherent FP to SFF on 4-6-7 because A9.223 states the manning infantry can only use SFF if a TPBF situation
Is this right?: The newly revealed 4-4-7 can fire on the 4-6-7 using PBF, dash does not apply, DRM = -2, and the 4-6-7 is considered to have expended 2 MP because it tried to enter a building thus the 4-4-7 can Fire Fire and SFF?
Final question: Does the 4-4-7/MMG have freedom of action to First Fire at other targets if the MMG is marked with a Fire Lane marker?
Thanks,
Alan
