Heroes of the Pacific Question

Counter Attack Scenario. SSR #2 Running Cold states "Units using their HE equivalent after securing a hit do not pay an additional penalty on the DCT."

I am not getting what this refers to. Assault Movement? Probably something simple that I am overlooking.

Thanks

Got the same question from the LNLT Digital developper a few days ago

Frankly, the only thing I can see is that those units don't sufffer a -1 to their HE-equivalent after they hit a target not located in buildings, bunker, cave ou hut, because that it the only modifier applied after a hit is scored

 

[Jack Ruetty]

Stephane maybe I am wrong but I always thought that was limited to using Heat ammo.

 

[Stéphane Tanguay]

Yes, this is limited to HEAT ammo but, again, this is the only penalty a unit suffer AFTER scoring it, and the only penalty affecting your check on the DCT so that is the only explanation I can give to this. Penalty fort assault movement is applied BEFORE securing a hit, and on the OFT table
