Sorry for my bad English. According to 4.0 Operation Phase of LNL Modern Era, pg 12 paragraph 4:

Each activated unit in a hex can either move or shoot (not both, except in the special case of Assault Move or Stealth Movement) or perform any other unit-eligible action. Not all units in a hex need to perform the same function, but all firing units within a hex that are activated in the same impulse must engage the same target.

There is, however, an exception. SWs with to-hit tables on the back of their counters (such as RPG-2s, Bazookas, LAWs, etc., must either fire separately (i.e., not adding their Firepower in with any other units targeting the same hex, but rather by making an entirely separate roll) or fire at another target altogether. They still must fire during the same impulse as the unit possessing them.


Does that mean that during one impulse, if you have in one hex 2-6-4-5 with SW Bazooka and in the same hex you have 1-5-4-5, you can do following things:

1. Fire with 2-6-4-5 with SW Bazooka to target Hex X where enemy squad present. In this case squad fire with own inherit FP of 2 and then Bazooka will do separate roll to hit.

2. In the same impulse your another squad 1-2-5-6 can fire to another target Hex Y.

If leader present, could he modify Bazookas to-hit roll? If yes, can he also modify in the same impulse direct fire rolls from squads IFP?

Thank you.

1. Yes exactly.
2. No, the 1-2-5-6 squad would have to fire with the 2-6-4-5 squad at the same target if it wants to fire this impulse. It could fire at a different target in a different impulse OR it could move in this impulse.

Yes the leader would modify both the infantry fire and the bazooka to hit roll in the same impulse. But not the second squad in a different impulse.
