Too many words...
British MAVN Note Q applies to many of the nation's Carriers:
In short, does a Carrier's counter need "BU/HD FP ok" or "HD FP ok" on back to be allowed to fire while HD, or does Case Q grant that ability to all Carriers to which it applies? If it cannot, why does the Carrier MMG A & B note carry Note Q?
Addendum: Aha! Problem solved! There is a variant of the Carrier MMG A that possesses a BATR. So I guess Note Q simply has limited applicability despite being assigned to a great variety of Carrier types. Sorry to bother everyone...Cheers!?
Q. The ATR has a maximum To Hit range of 12 hexes (as signified by "[12]TH" on the counter) and may be Scrounged/Removed. If optional, it is always available and has a 1.1 RF. If listed as MA, it has a "1" Multiple ROF. If it is a TATR, it fires through the TCA in the normal manner. If it is a SA BATR, it may fire while the vehicle is BU and/or HD across its VCA - as signified on the counter by "BU/HD FP ok" (or "HD FP ok" for the Carrier, MMG A, which cannot be BU). The MA BATR of the 1P Carrier Mk IIB may fire while the vehicle is BU, as signified by "BU FP ok" on the counter.
My main question regards the firing of bow-mounted weapons while HD. Note Q appears to be entirely about Carrier ATRs, but the inclusion of the Carrier MMG A is confusing. Most Carriers using Note Q do not, in fact, have an ATR, and neither the Carrier MMG A nor B has one (despite using Note Q). Is this note allowing even the BMG of Carrier MMG A to fire while HD? The counter does not, in fact, include the text "HD FP ok" as illustrated in Chapter H despite the note seeming to say that it does (or is there an ATR variant that I haven't noticed before)!In short, does a Carrier's counter need "BU/HD FP ok" or "HD FP ok" on back to be allowed to fire while HD, or does Case Q grant that ability to all Carriers to which it applies?
