Here's the situation: the Nazis Advance into a building location containing a motion, bypass enemy bu AFV. Nazis have 2 heroes, an 8-1, and a fanatic squad, thus no paatcs are necessary. Ambush mods are +2 vehicle, +1 bu AFV, -1 stealth, -1 leader. Nazis ambush so designate CC attacks sequentially and resolve them all first. Hero, Hero, and 8-1 and Squad combined, predesignated. First Hero CCV 2, -1 hero -1 ambush +2 motion. DR 1,1... Immobile and Unlikely Kill- dr 5 no effect. Second Hero CCV 2, -1 hero, -1 ambush, -1 immobile, and +2 motion or no? Roll 1,3... either Burns or No Effect depending on motion... Leader and Squad kill AFV regardless. Now, ambush withdrawal to 1st level of building with no AFV return attack via cmg or other due to ambush. Does anyone see anything incorrect here and a reference for the error(s)?

Thanx,

Kilroy

If it is immobilized it is no longer in motion or non-stopped, so no +2 DRM.

I'd say that the "+2 motion" wouldn't count for this hero.
D2.4 Third Sentence:
A vehicle's Motion counter is immediately removed when it starts movement in its next MPh or if the vehicle becomes Immobile.

With it being sequential CC, vs. Veh, and Ambush, I think the motion counter is off, so no +2 motion.

Wait a sec. Why are all these guys taking separate attacks on the vehicle? A unit can only be attacked once in close combat.

If you predesignate a combined attack shouldn't it go like this

CCV 5 +1 (hero) +1 (hero) +1 (leader) =8
DRMs -1hero -1hero -1leader -1 ambush +2 motion

The net effect is a CCV of 8 with a -2 modifier.

If you want to add insult to injury have one of the heros roll for an AATM for an additional -3 drm if available.

Basically what you executed was sequential attacks not a combined attack. Although I may be confused by your description of the situation.

Check the CC example in the RB. The first squad immobilizes the PzIV and the second squad gets to take his shot without the +2drm.

Mark - AFVs may be attacked multiple times in CC. Check out the examples.

The exception is that vehicles can be attacked multiple times.

A MMC can only be combined with one SMC when attacking a vehicle. However, it would certainly have been good to roll for a ATMM if available. I also think that the best attack should have gone first so as to eliminate the Motion/Non-Stopped +2 DRM for the other attack if needed. Also, the two heroes could have combined for a 3 CCV -2 heroic modifier.

CCV

Hey before we discuss how he should have played it we must remember he succeeded by the way he played it. Good job.

Just reading the rules (A11.5) on this and wanted to clarify something:

Does a 6+1 Leader increase the CCV of a squad/HS/crew by +1 just like all other leaders? (This would seem to 'somewhat' negate that +1 CC DRM detriment applied per A11.51)

Your attack will increase by 1 odds shift against a vehicle (5ccv to 6ccv) with the +1 of the 6+1 leader off setting the advantage of the leader addition. The benefits to you are that the attack against you probably increased in your favor, if the attacker achieves a random reduction dr it may choose the 6+1 and leave your MMC alive to try again.
