Re: [DS2]-Vehicle Designer v1.0 and a question on APSW

  I do see where the question comes from.
  Page 18 states "Note that any element may only fire ONE weapon system
per
Combat Action; Multiple mount weapons of the same type and class may
count as
one system for this (eg: a vehicle with twin MDC/4 barrels in its turret
MAY
fire them both togther, but only at the same target."
  And page 33 states "...each element of the firing unit has its fire
resolved
on an individual basis against a designated element within the target
unit."
  And (lastly) page 35 states "They (APSWs) are fired in the same way as
infantry Firefight weapons, whether they are mounted on vehicld by a
specialist
infantry team."
  Thus, the rules, as written, indicate that ALL ASPWs on a single AFV
(element) could only fire against one element of an infantry unit.
  But I think that a house rule that each ASPW on a vehicle could attack
a
different element within a single infantry element. But this house rule
would
have to be agreed to before the game starts.
