RobT asks:
>I have a few questions that I would like some help

>1. If a tank moves into a hex exposing its side to

>the side shot or the front shot?

Either, the tank must give the defense the opportunity to
fire at each/every covered arc aspect. This and some of
the other questions are covered in the Q&A document.

>Furthermore, if the tank stops in that hex, is it
>considered moving to all subsequent fire?

Yes, for the remainder of that Defensive Fire Phase.

>2. An AFV is always seen in a wheatfield per the

>at an AFV several hexes away?

Yes.

>Does this also apply to an AFV shooting from inside
>(not edge) of a wheatfield at infantry in another non
>wheatfield hex considering the infantry could shoot at
>the AFV inside a wheatfield if it had AT weapons?

No. This is one of the few cases where LOS for firing
purposes is not reciprical.

>3. I take it growing concealment counters happens
>after a unit does nothing during "its" entire turn.

Yes, see sequence of play listing on back of rulebook.

>So an infantry unit does not grow a concealment
>counter during its defense fire turn even though it
>may have done nothing?

Correct, it can not grow concealment during the enemy turn.

>Thats all for now. Sorry if my questions seem obvious.
>After rejecting computer games for my true love of board
>wargames, I am very rusty.

No, they are all good questions. And "finding" clarity is
a lengthy (and fun) process.

>PS...Thank you Alan Ygwe for all your support to my
>posts. The SL Resource is a great web site.

Thank you for the supportive words. Enjoy
your Squad Leader gaming! -- Alan Yngve
