Can a unit fire more than once per turn if it expends multiple orders? Does it matter whether they are done in reaction or not?

All I see is the explicit statement that a unit can carry out more than one order per turn, with no caveat on order type, so I am assuming yes.

The one caveat I do see is that a Gun team cannot fire with an order if it has already moved with another order previously in the turn.

Thanks in advance,

Dale

yes it can fire multiple times per turn. As the active player, you may fire with one unit, after which the reactive player may respond. As the reactive player, you may spend one point per unit to opportunity fire simultaneously at unit that just finished moving, or "return fire" with a single unit that was just targeted. These orders may be given again later in the turn if points are available to spend.

Good. That is what I thought. Also simulates an intense firefight well.

Follow-on question: when designating fire the rules indicate you specify one team. If you score more than one RFP it goes to another team within 6". The rules do not save "another team within the same unit, so I assume that other teams from other units can be hit, correct?

correct, as long as they're within 6" of the target and also within LoS and range of a shooting team.
