Certainly,

Situation:

Pl advancing to secure cross roads. One squad has come under fire from
troops on high ground beyond the cross roads and has gone to ground (Has
one suppression marker).

Pl Comd squad wishes to send a command to the suppressed squad. To do
this he needs to send a communication to 'Activate' the squad; thus
giving the squad two actions, one to attempt to remove the suppression
and if successful return fire. The Pl Comd squad is Regular as is the
suppressed squad. Leaderships are Pl Comd - 1, suppressed squad 3!

Pl Comd squad rolls a d8 and the result is a 4. Success! The squad can
now attempt carry out the commands of the Pl Commander.

With his other action the Pl Comd squad will attempt to activate another
squad to move up to support the squad under fire. In this case the squad
is 5 inches away so the communication is automatically received without
the need for a Communication Roll. As this squad has not activated this
turn it will still have its OWN activation later in the game turn.
Although it will only be able to fire its weapons once during the turn.
Both squads must use their actions resulting from the Pl Comd
communication immediately; effectively simultaneously.
