We're about to start this scenario but looking at SSR#2 it begs a question. Concerning the German leaders and optional PF usage. I assume that the German leaders all will begin with PFs. But they can carry only one, and the SSR states that these are deducted from the total PFs allocated. 21 PFs are allocated due to date and Squad equivalents and MMCs aren't permitted to utilize them by SSR I believe. So, my take is that MMCs can fire PFs in the normal fashion. Are they simply deducted from that same total? Also, can a leader get another PF from a MMC that might be carrying extras? How did you handle this SSR? Thanks in advance for your help.

Correct.
Correct.
Yes.
No, when a MMC find a PF it has to fired it, C13.31: "...If the final PF Check dr is a 1-3, the unit has a PF and an opportunity to fire it and must attempt a To Hit DR on the C3 To Hit Table...."
No, because the PF for MMCs never take counter form. Like Klas said, you roll for it, get it and it must be used immediately so it's not hanging around ready to be traded for a bar of chocolate or girlie mag. That being said, I played this scenario recently with @shirlfactor and I burned three AFVs with the inherent PFs and a leader rolled for another one in desperation later in the game and burned another one. That scenario was a blast. We took it down to the last Russian MPh before it was decided that the victory conditions couldn't be met.

No. I think the PF recorded at the start can be transferred between different leaders though.
