DS2 Multiple weapons in turret questions:

1)  It's pretty clear in the basics how main weapons in turrets are
designed to be used; pages 28-30 pretty clearly cover main guns in
direct
fire.

2)  It's also clear when two weapons of the same class in a turret act
(page 32.)

3)  It's pretty clear that when a main gun and an APSW are in the same
turret you can only fire one at a time at Infantry (page. 35) although
it
seems to make the traditional cannon and secondary APSW combination in
WW2 and today's turrets pretty much an either/or and forbids 'both
together' in a combat round.  Quibble, quibble, quibble.

4)  What's not so clear is what happens when some nut case (like myself)
designs a series of vehicles with multiple weapons of different classes
for a unit.

Currently i am working on a Divisional TO&E to draw formations from for
DS2 scenarios.	I am positing the first battalion as "air dropped" -
Class one sized vehicles and infantry (including power armor and a
single
section of infantry walkers;) the second battalion as "Interface
Landing"
- class 2 sized vehicles and infantry; Third battalion (and fourth) are
"Drop Ship capable" using size three and four vehicles plus infantry
[think of them as mechanized and armored] plus the remaining
'battalions'
being heavier vehicles (a few size 5) and arty/VTOL/Aerospace/train.

Not knowing better I worked on the vehicle designs and on most of the
vehicles with enough size to carry two guns I put different
weapons/classes.  For Example:

This is a mid-tech force using HMT power sources -

Class One vehicles for the Airdrop Battalion:

APC - One Fire Team, APSW (second) on pintle mount
ATM - GMS/H
Lt. Attack - turreted 2xDFFG-1

Class Two vehicles for the Interface Landing Battalion:

APC - 2 Fire Teams, turreted DFFG-1
Attack - Slam/3
Lt TD - HKP/3

Class Three/Four Vehicles (Battalions Three/Four plus others)

Size three (all of Battalion 3 and most of Battalion 4)
APC - 3 Fire Teams, Turreted DFFG-1
Lt. IFV - 2 Fire Teams, turreted MDC-2
LBT - Twin weapons in Turret - 2xSLAM/3
MBT - Turret: Main - HKP/4, Secondary HEL-1
Lt. TD - FIXED mount(s) [over/under] - HKP/4, HEL/3

Size Four (Remainder of Battalion four and included in some other
Battalions)
APC - 3 Fire Teams, turreted DFFG-2
IFV - 2 Fire Teams, Turreted SLAM/3
MBT - several options - all turreted - (none final currently)
	a.  HKP/5, HEL/2
	b.  SLAM/5, MDC/2
	c.  HKP/4, MDC/3
	d.  MDC/3, HEL/3

TD - Fixed, over/under - HKP/5, DFFG/5

Size 5 vehicles : (selected platoons in Battalion 4 and other
battalions)

HBT - two versions
	a.  "pure AT' - twin turret HKP/5
	b.  "DP" - twin turret MDC/4, ENH PDS, LAD
	c.  "LR" - twin Turret HEL/4, ENH PDS, LAD

Obviously it is in the dual weapons of different systems/sizes that it
gets unclear to me.  [The size three and four vehicles.]  Do I treat
this
as firing one OR the other system only per round,  or Do I treat this as
two separate attacks (?!?) per round, or do I (assuming both are in
range) treat this a similar (a variant) to the 'twin turret"  (page 32,
Multiple Mount Weapons) rule?  If I had to make a 'house rule' right now
I would choose to make both weapons fire, rolling an appropriate die for
the individual weapon's range (range 50 inches - HKP/5 long range, HEl/2
short range.)

What's the group consensus?

Gracias.
