I would use the standard rules for firing.

Me too. Chances are the other vehicles will be more than 4" away, so singling out just one vehicle should be pretty easy. The firer always has the option of splitting their fire to target more than one.

Those are your rifle grenadiers. They're a team and deploy on a 1.

I think this is an issue that might occur more in pick up games than in campaigns. Protracted firefights are rarely any use to anyone in a campaign situation.

Excellent point. I've kicked myself after campaign games for getting drawn into that kind of fight.

Most of my attacks quickly degenerate into exercises in managing shock, with no CIs spare to use on such subtleties. That's something you have to plan for though. You can't expect to be doing too much fancy stuff once the brown smelly stuff has hit the fan. There are never enough CIs in the late ga...

1) Can you deploy and engage immediately in close combat? 2) Being within 4" of him, was I obliged to engage in close combat, since we were in woods where you have to be within 4" to see the enemy? 3) Could I not have simply shot at him instead, and if so, could I have used "maschinengewehre" in th...

Unless you are falling back perhaps.

That's actually one of my favourite rules from SP2, and one I hope makes it into CoC2 when that arrives. Even if just for broken units.

If a AT Gun wants to target an enemy tank, but there is an enemy infantry team in front can it do so Yes. Check 11.7. Vehicle guns are counted as being at a higher level than troops on foot. Even if they were on the same level, the AT gun could just shoot right through the infantry. It's an artille...
