I am having a discussion within a PbeM game.

Does a player have to declare the placement of a Firelane before they roll the attack DR or can they wait to see the result of the rof die?
If you maintain rof, you probably do not want to lay a FL as you could still be a quite potent counter punch to your opponent's moves during that MPh.

You must declare the FL before rolling the dice (that is, simultaneously with the declaration of the attack). As per A9.23:

A9.22 FIRE LANE: Whenever the DEFENDER declares a Defensive First Fire attack with a Good Order SW MG that is manned by unpinned Infantry (even as ordnance or as part of a FG), he may also declare a Fire Lane with that MG if it is not already marked with a First/Final Fire counter and is firing within its Normal Range (but not using TPBF) and at a same-level (B.5) target.​
