AFV CMG & acquisition

[hayman]

If my AFV (with B11 MA) moves in the Movement Phase, can I fire the CMG in the AdvFire Phase (at half FP) to place a -1 Acq counter (1/2") for the MA for the following turn's DefFire Phase?

Only MA can acquire. See C6.5.

Why would you think you could? Please be specific as to applicable rules.

The only applicable rule I can see is C6.5

C6.5 CASE N; ACQUIRED TARGET: When a Gun (including the MA and SA [Secondary Armament, as per Chapter H Vehicle Listings], of vehicles [EXC: not FT or LATW]) of ≥ 20mm other than a mortar fires at (not Interdicts) a Known unit or a bridge, it may place a " -1 Acquired counter on its target ....

Only MA can acquire. See C6.5.

Indeed, only MA ≥ 20mm (see above)

Thanks for the replies, folks.

The CMG can remove acq by firing at another location but does not gain acq.

But you can check LOS with your CMG before firing your MA in AFire or in the next DFire.
