RE: [SG] No idea what I am doing. Help!

1.	Yes
2.	No, separate action required to fire each support weapon.
3.	Heavy Support weapons cannot be fired to support small arms
fire,
but SAWs & IAVRs can.  Support weapons are ground mounted and use 12"
bands
vs infantry and must fire individually.  Squad support weapons are SAWs,
grenade launchers & IAVRs that use normal quality range bands, so have
EXACTLY the same range as small arms.
Eg1. Heavy RFAC/1 groundmount fires using Quality + FC or FP die.  
Eg2. Squad with 1 SAW fires using Quality + small arms FP die + SAW FP
die
(ie: reg (d8) + 4 x fp:2 rifles (d8) + gatling SAW (d10).
4.	Potentially, you can fire 1 rifle (d4 fp) + 8 IAVRs (8 x d10
fp).
You must fire at least 1 small arms to use multiple IAVRs, otherwise
they
fire individually as support weapons (1 per action).  Firing them all at
once leaves you no antiarmour capability though...
5.	Can't remember, but I think that's right.
6.	It could happen, that's why the + threat level.  +5 threat
(leader
killed + airattack) hurts.
7.	At the time the condition was met.  So the untreated casualty is
not
counted when they are injured, but will count against all future
confidence
checks until they are treated.
