Reading over the rules just now, it suddenly isn't clear to me how Armored assault works when not in the Mph...
If infantry uses armored assault to move with armor and the armor and infantry end their move together in the same (open ground) hex....does the armor have to expend a stop to continue to provide +1 tem in the subsequent DFPh (and in the opponents player turn prepfire, etc.) or can the armor stay in motion and still provide amored assault +1 tem? I had always thought it could stay in motion until the armored assault was ended... but I don't see that interpretation supported by the rules. The rules say a stopped AFV would continue to provide tem in the DFPh (which isn't normally the case)... which leads me to believe that a motion AFV no longer protects the armored assaulting troops. If this is the case I'm sure I'm not the only player who has been playing this wrong.
