Does the 1”/2.5cm gap needed to
shoot between two teams or a team
and terrain have to be perpendicular to
the line between the shooter and the
target?
No. While that might be more accurate
to require a 1”/2.5cm wide corridor from
shooter to target, this is hard to measure.
To keep things simple we just require a gap
of 1”/2.5cm between the two. However,
as with everything common sense and
reasonableness go a long way here. The
rule only provides an absolute minimum
requirement. If the shot looks improbable,
you probably shouldn’t take it.


Can a Man-packed Gun use the Crash
Action rule and shoot at full ROF
when it Dismounts?
Yes. Any sort of Gun team can use the
Crash Action rule.

The Tank Destroyer special rules have
been revised since the rulebook was
printed. The revised rules are shown in
the rulebook updates section (page 12)
and completely replace the rules in the
original rulebook.
If I have two guns side by side and need
to rotate them to face the target, but
cannot as their bases would overlap,
what do I do?
They cannot shoot as they cannot rotate to
face the target. The best way to avoid this
is to either deploy them further apart or
move them apart in the movement step,
thereby giving them room to rotate.

That last one is weird since they don't require dug-in guns to rotate to face. Hmmm. Good to know.
