Question;

We have a Squad with a MMG, it fires on a gun. How is the attack resolved? Does the MMG get a seperate attack from the infantry attack? In what extent does in matter if there is a gunshield or if the gun is emplaced?

The rules are a bit unclear (Guns attacked by infantry or by a other gun is one thing, but I don't see how the MG's are factored in).

Thanks in advance,
Skye

The attack when put together goes under the mandatory fire group rule. In other words you must combine the firepower.

If both the Squad and MMG fire at the Gun, you do have to combine into one attack on the IFT.

Since the MMG doesn't fire HE (and its AP has no HE eqivalency) it can't attack the Gun alone as ordnance on the Infantry or Area Target Types (which are the two ways that a Gun can be attacked by To Hit ordnance, and both require HE or HE equivalency.)

On the IFT you can use either the Gunshield OR the Emplacement DRM, but you can not use both since neither can be combined with any other positive TEM. (Alternatively, you could use other TEM if its better, say the +3 in a stone building).

IFT attacks are against the Crew only, but you can Randomly Destruct the Gun if you roll low enough per A9.74.

Hope that helps,
Mark
