RE: DSII: Special Vehicle Packs & Multiple APWSs

APSWs & DFFGs are two entirely different systems.
When firing at infantry, there is no _to hit_ roll, you just draw the
chits (see ~pg 20?), the only problem is you can only fire at the ONE
target with ALL weapons of the same type (unless you have multiple
firecons).  
You draw chits once for each barrel of the weapon system, using
appropriate validities, either INFANTRY ASSAULT or DIRECT FIRE WEAPONS
AT INFANTRY TARGETS, whichever is appropriate for the situation. 
Against vehicles, you roll once for each weapon of the same type and
only draw chits for each individual hit.  (ie. 3 x DFFG/3, sup firecon,
close range; roll 3d12, drawing 3 chits for each hit, counting double)
Other than this, read your rulebook again.
