Queries from game today
Hi
Couple of queries from a game
1. Can Dedicated AT sections (ie PzShk) fire on Infantry targets, the advanced rules imply no but the charts show an AI of 0 ?
2. If using the Inherent AT wpns option in particular the option wherein in PzFsts are allowed in all Inf units with a 50/50 throw for availability we got bit confused as to how this works re target priorities and also if you target an AFV and roll for availability but find unit has no AT available can this same unit then target Inf with its AI ?
I ruled no as they chose to target the AFV but bit unsure.
Cheers

G,
1. Can Dedicated AT sections (ie PzShk) fire on Infantry targets, the advanced rules imply no but the charts show an AI of 0 ?
A - Yes - but they are restricted by their limited range - so if you have an infantry or artillery target within 4" <6"> you can engage them.
2. If using the Inherent AT wpns option in particular the option wherein in PzFsts are allowed in all Inf units with a 50/50 throw for availability we got bit confused as to how this works re target priorities and also if you target an AFV and roll for availability but find unit has no AT available can this same unit then target Inf with its AI ?
A - As for target priorities - you will have to make that decision given the circumstances on the wargames tabel - though I would suggest that if faced but an infantry and AFV threat and your section have inherent AT weapons available they would target the AFV, unless the infantry were esp. dangerous, e.g. flamethrower equipped.
A - If you infantry have no AT capacity this turn then they can not actually target the AFV, thus are free to use their AI factor on infantry.
