[ASLML] Squad Reduction with BF

[Will Fleming]

All,

A somewhat interesting situation came up with a squad who had a mortar.

The squad shot his inherent FP in DFF.  No cowering, so he can still shoot
the mortar later---but, the squad got hit by bounding fire and suffered a K/
result, but made the morale check unpinned.  

So there is a half-squad with a first fire counter possessing an unfired lt
MTR.  

Can the HS still shoot the Mortar?  The rules say that a HS/crew shooting a
SW loses its inherent FP for the remainder of that phase with some
exceptions for DFF and such, but it doesn't mention this case
specifically--a squad shooting inherent can still fire the MTR.  It doesn't
say that it loses this ability when it is reduced. It doesn't specifically
allow it nor deny it--at least as far as we could find.

Since the unit had the ability to fire the weapon before the K/ result and
there is nothing saying that the new HS can't fire it, there is an argument
that it can.

We played it that the HS could not shoot the mortar, but I wanted to make
sure by asking the list.
