Please to hear that.

>1.  What about close combat VS vehicles or vehicle overrun of infantry? 

Comments on this from some other players:
You dive under the tracks, and hope it doesn't hurt too much. 8-)

If you close assault a tank in SG2, it will run you over and squish you.

What you can do is conduct firing from point blank range. (Does anyone
know 
of a real life example of close assault on a modern tank? I don't.) Adam

How about running up behind it to place grenades in its voonerables...? 
Dunno if it'd work against modern tanks, but it worked well for Finnish 
troops during WW2... Oerjan Ohlson

Target priority is defined (on p.12) as " ...THE GREATEST THREAT TO THE 
FIRING UNIT..."

An already moved/ fired/ activated target is not much of a threat (well,

not 'till next turn...) but a unit that is providing overwatch and has
yet 
to fire would be much more so. I know that item (i) on p.12 suggests the

opposite but it all boils down to how _you_ define the term "greatest 
threat". If you decide not to include item (i) because it doesn't fit
your 
force's training/doctrine then fine...

A unit can attempt to remove a Suppression marker by using 1 action to
do 
so and rolling the appropriate die. It does NOT have to be in cover to
do 
so. (see p.18)

OTOH, a unit must be in cover (soft or hard) in order to reorganise (see

p.17)

Do not confuse Reorganisation with Remove Suppression - they are two 
different actions.
