The followings are less rule arguments than they are anecdotal evidence
(1)
If some units can use DFF normally against an OVR. Why is an unmarked GUN forced to risk a TH/MC DR to do the same thing C5.641
Where is the logic here that a highly trained crew in +2 Emplacement TEM is at risk. But a 426 in the same hex with 0 TEM can fire away with no worries.
Because in my opinion. Both should be required to use Reaction Fire (after the OVR).
But the Gun can invoke C5.641 to get a shot off before the OVR (but at a risk).
(2)
For the players who argue that. Once the MP are spent. The DEFENDER is allowed to DFF on these MP. We already have an example where the effects dr is made before any DFF.
A squad can spend the MF to place smoke in it's own hex. The DEFENDER must wait for the smoke placement dr. before he can attack.
How is that much different than.
Having an AFV spend the MP for an OVR. Make the target of the OVR wait till the OVR is resolved. Before it can attacks.
Both are done in the MPh. Each need MP/MF to be spent. Both should require the effects DR/dr to be resolved before any type of DFF.
One of these rules may not be able to change the mind of some. But, hopefully all five rules should give people a pause for thought.
If anyone would like to suggest any rules I should add. Or suggest a rewording of the question. Please post them so I may add or change things before I send them to Perry.
