Wouldn't the DEFENDER also declare at this point, at which MP increment it 
is firing?

What?  It can declare Defensive First Fire, but then can wait to decide what 
MP increment to apply it to based on what the vehicle does?

What?

I understand that the correct sequence is:

a. ATTACKER moves
b. ATTACKER allows sufficient time for DEFENDER to declare Defensive First 
First
c. ATTACKER either continues moving or declares Bounding First Fire

I.e., the option to use Bounding First Fire always occurs after the DEFENDER 
has the option of Defensive First Fire.

But when Defensive First Fire is declared, doesn't a part of that 
declaration also include the MP expenditure being used to claim Defensive 
First Fire?
