Close assault and opportunity fire question

[dylan]

I see this question was asked before and Big Insect said he'd get back to it but hasn't yet.

The question relates to opportunity fire (which was called response fire in previous editions) against close assaults.  If a defending unit has already undertaken opportunity fire in its turn, can it fire at an incoming assaulting unit?

I recall on the old forum that Mr Jones clarified that in BKCI/II the intention was that you could response fire, even if you'd previously opportunity fired. But I note slight tweaks in wording for BKCIV so I'd like to know what the design intent might be.

Yes, you can undertake response fire, if you have already undertaken Opportunity fire earlier in the same game turn.

Thanks for reminding me
