Just to clarify: Currently you cannot target your on units. However abilities such as Rocket Salvo and Blast may cause incidental damage to them

@Audacity:

The scenario.Â An infantry soldier is in a town hex and a vehicle crosses the open ground and enters the same hex.Â The soldier is entitled to defensive fire.

The rule states the defensive fire effects (ie which hex it occurs)Â is determined by the defender.Â In this case that means the defender says if the effect take place in the open ground hex or if it happens in the town hex.

Question.Â If the defender awaits until the vehicle has entered the town hex, can he use his abilities to attack vehicles in his own hex with the far superior dice rolls or is Defensive fire only about direct fire

Yes. You get to chose where the defencive-fire occurs, and if you have any special abilities such as flamethrower or close assault you can use them. Only a few abilities are worded such that they can’t be used for defencive-fire (eg the Goliath’s ). So if your unit is, for example, simply a regular infantry it will probably be best to make the defencive-fire attack in the same hex where it can use its close assault.

Can a spotter also spot voor arty/mortars?

The Spotter SA applies only to Aircraft.
Any units that have **Indirect Fire say so. (Currently: GE sGrW 34 81mm Mortar, SV 82mm PM-37 Mortar, US M7 105mm Priest)

Can defensive fire result in anything more then disruption?

Defencive-Fire does NOT result in a hit against the unit; it simply gives a face-up disrupted token. Having more than one face-disrupted token has no additional effect on a unit. They do not cause damage/destroyed results because They Are Not Hits.

However units can still use their Special Abilities during defencive-fire which may cause more than disruption. For example if you provoke defencive-fire from a flamethrower and it rolls three 6s, it DOES still immediately destroy the unit.

Can a disrupted vehicle change facing?

No; the rules specifically say they can’t.**

Changing facing doesn’t take up movement “points.” When you get to your destination hex, you can face whichever hex side you wish. And instead of moving to another hex, you can change facing within the same hex.

However, if you are face-up disrupted, you cannot change facing, because you cannot move. And if defensive fire or a failed movement roll stops your movement, you must stop facing the hex you tried to enter.

For the exact rules wording, go to the Avalon Hill webpage and download the rules.

With Set II coming out you’ll be able to field and effective Soviet team and Japanese team. There are a couple of new Japanese tanks that are pretty good.

You might even be able to put together a Chinese team but you might have to amek a house rule that allows more than 15 units per team or play 80 pts. or something. Those 2pt soldiers don’t really fill out the points very well.
