berserk and opp fire

[Roy]

In prep, Russian 8-1 / 628 / 628 / 628 are marked with opportunity fire.

In German Defensive Fire Phase, Those units are hit, resulting in a berserk leader who changes all units to berserk.

Are these units still able to use Opp fire in Afph?

We found that the rule says must be good order to get marked opp fire, but only unbroken / unpinned in the Afph.

We played it as yes, they could.

Thanks

They can't use Opportunity Fire:

"A15.432 A berserk unit must enter a Known enemy occupied Location during the MPh if it has sufficient MF and, as such, may possibly force any DEFENDING Infantry therein to attack them with FPF. If the only Known enemy unit is a lone SMC, a berserk MMC will immediately conduct an Infantry OVR (4.15) with neither the NTC nor increased MF normally required and without the option of the SMC entering a new hex. The berserk unit may also attack with TPBF during its AFPh, but this TPBF is halved due to taking place in the AFPh. Survivors are not yet held in Melee, and the stack is marked with a CC counter to indicate this. Because a berserk unit must charge in its MPh, it may never fire during its PFPh—even if ADJACENT to the Location it must charge. However, it may fire during its AFPh (not Opportunity Fire) and DFPh/opponent's MPh. A berserk unit does not take prisoners. Berserk units are always Lax (11.18) in CC."

Ok, thanks. That does seem pretty clear cut, except the units couldn't charge as the movement phase was already over when they went berserk.
But, it says what it says.
Thanks!
