A US MMC without a WA counter is in a shellhole hex bordered by a wall (eg. 2V7).
It is fired by a German MMC 2 hexes away (eg. 2T8) with the inherent FP. The FP attack is resolved on the IFT and the US uses the option given by the 3rd sentence of B 9.31 to use the wall TEM of +2 against this IFT attack.
After this IFT attack the German MMC announces and gets a PF shot.
Can now the US exercise its option of the 3rd sentence of B 9.31 to claim only the in-hex TEM of +1 of the shellhole instead of the +2 TEM of the wall and therefore by C 8.31 5th sentence deny the use of HEAT/PF to the German?
