So ... I now have what can be done in terms of moving and shooting in the same turn.But what about movement period? If there is no shot taken (nor intended) during the turn?More specifically: "Wheeled guns greater than 57mm may not turn or prolong and fire in the same turn. "This would seem to suggest that guns greater than 57mm CAN turn or prolong 1 inch, but not turn or prolong AND fire in the same turn?So from this should I imply that all guns (that aren't in fixed installations) can turn 90 degrees, or move 1 inch, during a turn? And that only those 57mm and smaller can do this AND fire during the same turn?Chapter 6 Ground Movement, page 6.4 first column, Gun Movement section states:"Wheeled guns up to 57mm may be turned up to 90/ in place, or prolonged up to 1", and fired in the same turn. This reduces the gun’s ROF by 1 and counts as movement for resolving Overwatch. Wheeled guns greater than 57mm may not turn or prolong and firein the same turn.
Oh, it does. I assure you it does.-Mark 1Hope this helps! :)

Bob:Great. That's just what I need to know.So is that somewhere in the rules or data book that you can point out to me, so that I might highlight it for future reference? (If not, I'll just print your message and keep it in my book...)And so, continuing my struggle to understand the mechanics of AT guns (and mortars, and artillery pieces), is there not also an actiion required to set the gun up for firing after moving, or to prepare it for movement before moving?-Mark 1Mark, you are correct, all wheeled guns can turn 90 degrees or move 1 inch during an ACTIVATION. This means they could move 2 inches OR spin 90 degrees and move 1 inch OR move 1 inch and turn 90 degrees IF you use both the standard action as a move action AND also use the bonus move during the guns activation.
