Can a unit or individual figure draw a line of sight and fire at an enemy through their own men? Or between them? Couldn't find that in the rules the other day and the argument came up.

We've played it as vehicles and AFVs can fire HE and AP (no machine guns) shots over infantry (infantry are assumed to be prone most of the time or grabbing any available cover), but not crewed gun teams (ie heavy machine guns, AT guns, AAA, mortars, etc).

Infantry and gun teams cannot fire through their own troops.

But, if you want, you can rule otherwise. I'm not sure there's a hard set rule about this, but I don't have my rulebook on me.

Thanks. I thought I saw something in the rules once, but can't seem to find it anywhere now!
