If > 1 S? exists when fired upon by FRIENDLY units, is each S? activated (assuming so) and MC's all around...or activate both S? and then do MCs?
For example...
In the FRIENDLY PFPh a few units fire at two S? that are in the same woods location. A resulting roll (halved for Area Fire) results in a 1MC. Assume the two S? activate such:
#1 S? --> 8-1, 4-4-7
#2 S? --> 9-1, 4-4-7
Now, if we activate both S? first, then roll MCs, the 9-1 goes first, passes, then the 8-1 can use the 9-1 help and have a 1MC with -1 DRM.
However, if we activate each S? one at a time, the 8-1 gets no leadership help because the 9-1 hasn't activated yet.
Conversely, if we activated #2 first, then the 9-1 would roll 1MC, survives. Then the second (#1) S? activates with an 8-1 who can then use the 9-1 support.
So...the question is, with > 1 S? in the same Location, are all S? activated prior to attack resolution? I'm having a hard time finding such in the rules. It seems logical to me that all S? would activate (or at least have a chance to) first before applying attack resolution.
Eh?
Thanks!
