Tanks in CC ASLSK #3

[ForgetFullPhil]

In the middle of playing ASL Scenario S21 in ASLSK #3 Borisovka. Despite many hours in the rule book and on the Internet I cannot find out if tanks can attack each other in the same hex ie in CC. There are many accounts of squads & SW attacking tanks in CC but none about tanks attacking tanks! Maybe they can only attack from a neighbouring hex?

Per 3.8 a vehicle can attack infantry. Because there is no mechanism for a vehicle to attack other vehicles (a vehicle has no CCV), it is not allowed using CC attacks. A Nahverteidigungswaffe might attack the CE crew of an enemy vehicle, but it would not attack the vehicle itself.

Last line of 3.8:

AFVs may not attack each other in CCPh.

Note that this text was added to the Rule Booklet in the ASLSK Expansion Pack 1, and is therefore absent from the rules that came with ASLSK3.

Thanks JRV. The scenario seems to show that the Russian T34s just need to rush to the other end of the board without thinking about stopping and fighting the Panzers! The moment they change this strategy they are dead!
