Can DC toting squad in a building next to a bridge (DASL hex dF2, bridge 
dE3), throw its DC onto the bridge when a close topped enemy AFV crosses the 
bridge as Defensive First Fire in order to place 12 residual on the bridge?
We thought that it could, the bridge is not affected as in wasn't a "set" 
DC, and the AFV wasn't affected as it was not the predesignated target. Did we 
do this correctly?

No.  If the bridge is not the target, and if you're deliberately *not*
targeting the AFV, what exactly *are* you targeting?  You can't attack an
empty hex just for the hell of it in DFF. If you're attempting to target the 
AFV (which is legal), you won't leave any residual (since only the designated 
target can be affected).


Your answer makes sense, how about this though. If the AFV had exposed PRC, the 
unit could throw the DC and attack the vulnerable PRC (not the Placement 
process on the AFV) at 30+4 So why can't the unit throw the DC on the AFV if 
PRC aren't vulnerable?
