So a German AFV made a bummer move and is vulnerable.
It’s the American MPh and an American AFV moves in its MPh behind the German AFV and stops. Both are BU and CAs are as shown. The American AFV wants to shoot its MA at the German AFV. The "typical" Firer-Based TH DRM of +5 exists (Case C+4 and Case I+1). Now, because both vehicles are stopped, the Target-Based TH DRM of Case L-2 applies for a total TH of 10 with DRM+3...correct? (This was as tactic shown me a few years ago to help counter some of the “+5” DRM.)
The American AFV needs a TH roll of 7 and the TK roll is all but guaranteed. What should the ENEMY do? Suck it up as poor planning on his part? Or should the German AFV perform a Motion Attempt? If successful, the Case L DRM is N/A and the American is back to a TH of 10 with DRM+5.
So first off, the German player has to figure if the American can roll a 5 or 7 and that figures in to his Motion Attempt decision...correct?
Now assume the German survives and is NOT in Motion. In the ensuing German PFPh, the German spins his top two-clicks to the left. His TH DRMs are Case A+2 (clicks), Case I+1 (BU), and Case L-2 (range) for a total TH of 10 with DRM+1...correct?
Or, assume the German survives and IS in Motion. In the ensuing German PFPh, the German spins his top two-clicks to the left. His TH DRMs are Case A+2 (clicks) and Case I+1 (BU) for a total TH of 10 with DRM+3...correct?
So during the American MPh, the German has to weigh going into Motion for the American to roll a 5 (vice 7) followed by a German PFPh roll of 7 (in Motion) vice 9 (stopped)...correct? So there are TWO rolls to consider to making a decision. Does that make sense?
So, the German PFPh and the German spins his top and is going to fire on the American AFV. Knowing a TK is all but guaranteed, should the American AFV go for a Motion Attempt? I'd say YES.
However, that puts the American back to the same “motion/stopped” question for the next attack opportunity for the American AFV.
In general, then, would folks ALWAYS go into Motion in this situation? Or stay stopped, hope for misses from his opponent, and better shots on his part?
(Hope I have all this correct =)
