    Mike;

    No, yaou can not…See E7.5 third to the last sentance in the long paragraph…”An AA-capable weapon marked with an AA counter may not form a FG [EXC: Mandatory FG; A7.55] or use a Fire Lane vs Aerial targets, nor may it use Subsequent First Fire/Intensive/Sustained Fire vs Aircraft (or vs any ground target in that Player Turn).”

    Semper Fi!

    So here is a follow up question: If the armored HTs are in the same hex and firing at an aircraft in AA mode , can this done?

    per 7.55 MANDATORY FG: If Good Order units/weapons in the same Location are going to fire at the same target (i.e., at both the same Location and the same unit and the same “simultaneous” [8.1] MF/MP expenditure;
    see D3.5) during the same phase they must form a FG [EXC: Fire Lane; 9.22]; they may not attack separately except with ordnance/FT/DC or the subsequent shots of multiple ROF weapons (9.2).

    If they are both in the same hex, then it seems that A7.55 would come into effect.

    Hey…what do I know?…Im onlyh an ASL collector these days! ha ha

    Semper Fi!
