Hi
The point I was challenging boils down to:
1. Return fire - if fire upon you can return fire if if you have an action marker - this is clear
2. Support fire when you are returning fire - in diagram page 53 B1 is fired upon and on is able to return fire and has B3 giving support however B2 cannot as it has an action marker “Indeed, B2 has an action marker and cannot engage in combat if it is not attacked”
My point is if A2 was further over and fired on B1 (fire priority rules) then B2 would not be able to support B1 return fire.
So
When you return fire only units without an activation marker are able (if eligible) to support fire.
This is the same as when you are the initiator of shooting only units without action markers can support fire. As per page 50 Timing of Shooting.
