SS-Panther and disruptive fire

[panzerman989]

If I have my SS-Panther in a hex with an enemy rifleman and I attempt to move and rifleman close assaults me for disruptive fire and is successfull, I immediatly place a disruption counter on my Panther. Since the panther has ss determination and can move while disrupted, do I end my movement right there or can I keep moving? Same thing if the panther already had a disruption counter on it and moves provoking the fire and gets another counter, does it ignore the new counter and keep moving as normal.


Thanks,panzerman989

1. If the SS Panther is disrupted by defensive fire, it gets to keep moving.

2. If the SS Panther already had a face-up disruption marker on it, then the defensive fire could have no additional effect.

3. If the SS Panther already had a face-down disruption marker on it, then the defensive fire would place a face-up disruption marker on the tank.

Defensive fire against an SS Panther tank can't prevent it from moving. The only benefit you can gain from using defensive fire against the SS Panther is to place a face-up disruption marker. If this happens during the Movement phase or the first Assault phase, then you have a chance to attack the tank again during your Assault phase, when the tank's defenses will be reduced by 1 because of the disruption.
