Question:A4.41 AFPh SW Fire Limits: No MMG, HMG, mortar, INF/RCL
SW, "?" non-vehicular ordnance counter which moved [other than
being Recovered (4.44)] during the MPh may fire during the
ensuing AFPh [EXC: German dm MMG/HMG may fire as LMG; 9.8].
However, if such weapons remained stationary while their new
owners moved into their Location, they can be fired during the
ensuing AFPh with the normal penalties for fire in the AFPh -
assuming they were Recovered during that MPh (4.44). A weapon
fired during the AFPh cannot use Intensive Fire and is limited
to one shot regardless of its ROF [EXC: if using Opportunity
Fire; 7.25].
Q. May a HMG or MMG fire in the AFPh if it has not changed
Locations but did enter/exit a Fortification, (un)load,
(dis)mount, move under Wire/Panji, or change Crest status or
position in a rice paddy? A. No, it has not remained stationary. {J1}
QUESTION: If a unit already possessing such a SW "remains
stationary", but conducts other activities, may it fire the SW
(with penalties) in the advancing fire phase? i.e.
(Perry: Only if not having expended any MF while possessing this SW. If the manning unit expended any MF, the SW has "moved".)
May it place SMOKE grenades? May it pick up a different SW
in the location?
No. No.
