    How does flamethrowers, AT rifles etc. work inside engineer squad? Do they have to shoot same target or can flamethrower or AT rifle choose different target (like one shot weapon Panzerfaust?). And how pins are applied, if rifles and flamethrower shoot at the same infantry squad, does it get 1 pin from rifle fire and more from flamethrower per it’s rules?

    All of a squads weapons MUST target the same enemy unit.

    UNLESS the weapon has indirect or limited ammo – in which case it may target a seperate enemy units.

    PINs – you pick the weapon (singular) with the highest potental number of pins and apply thoses pins.

    Limited ammo weapons – you select if it was going to fire before checking ranges, if you are out of range you still have to make a fuel check for flamethrowers and remove panzaerfausts.

    eg – a squad with all small arms will only do 1 pin.  a squad with a flamethrower and rifles shooting one target will pick the flamethrower to apply pins (if it hits).. so does D3+1
    eg 2 – a squad with 3 light mortars 1 smg & 5 rifles (not loaders) can select 1-4 targets to shoot …the SMG & rifles will HAVE to pick the same one.  If you select two mortars to shoot the same target and both hit the you apply D2 pins … you DONT roll 2 D2 and pick the highest.
    eg 3- your squad has 2 panzerfausts … you can shoot 1-3 targets, but because panzerfausts are one shot weapons you can choose not to fire them but the models can use their other weapons instead.
