During the MPh, the DEFENDER has a squad with an LMG. The LMG is marked with FIRST FIRE, the squad is not marked (hasn't fired yet). The ATTACKER moves a unit into LOS, but several hexes away, within normal range of both squad and LMG, and it is the closest KEU. The DEFENDER fires with both squad (normal FP) and LMG (half FP for AREA, sustained fire, B# reduced by 2, etc.). Assume the LMG doesn't break, no cowering occurs. The squad is marked with FIRST FIRE and the LMG is marked FINAL FIRE. So far so good, as this is similar to (but not exactly the same as) the Example on page A20 of the ASLRB about mid-way down, " .... If the LMG (only) were already marked with a FIRST FIRE counter when the 628 was first attacked in W2 ...blah blah blah...".
Now my questions:
Later in the MPh, the ATTACKER moves another unit into LOS, still several hexes away, and it is now the closest KEU. (1) I assume that the squad can use Subsequent FF again since it is marked FIRST FIRE. Is this correct? (2) Or, is there a restriction on the number of times a unit can use SFF? I assume there is no such restriction. (3) Is the LMG, which is now marked with FINAL FIRE, eligible to participate in the second SFF attack? I assume not, because it is marked with FINAL FIRE.
Thanks ahead of time for any help or opinions.
