Bounding Fire Fire & ROF Retention

[Velocette]

An AFV uses Bounding First Fire (during the MPh) by firing it's MA. The AFV keeps (retains) ROF. The AFV conducts no more MA attacks during the MPh; nor does it fire it's vehicular MG (BMG/CMG) during the MPh.

It is now the AFPh, can the AFV:

A) Fire the the MA and MG (BMG and CMG) each one time? (D3.5 makes me initially think NO - since the MG did not fire in the same phase as the MA. But there is a pesky [EXC for D3.31-.32]; which is the genesis of my question)

OR

B) Fire the MA {ONLY - and just one shot; ROF = NA: per D3.32

Thanks,

I would suggest B). Only the MA has ROF - the various MGs do not (unless the MA is an MG), so additional fires should not apply to them. I don't see how the EXC in D3.31 changes this as it relates to halving of FP for BFF. I am using the latest release of the eASLRB (v2.01).

Thank you - that is a handy link. The correct answer is B) - no MG fire at all is allowed and the ROF weapon may fire once only in the AFPh as ROF was retained in the MPh.
