I think that since rallying uses up the units activation, it shouldn't
have to move. If it is in the open, then it will likely be shot at,
making the unit less effective even if it does rally. You would
think that a requirement for rallying would be that the unit already
be in cover. I have never been under fire, but I don't think that
anyone would have much success rallying _me_ if I was still in the
open and getting shot at...

This would seem to be a matter of taste. The rules imply that you can
only
suffer the effects of damage once, so the second (or third, etc.) would
be ignored. However, it could be considered a reasonable house rule that
a second damaged result would destroy the vehicle.

>Yours perplexed

You have shown two instances where the rules are open to interpretation.
I used to have problems with things like this, but eventually you get
used to it. So long as the players are reasonable, it shouldn't cause
much of a problem. I haven't found a miniature game yet that didn't have
"problems" like this.
