Highly Flammable

When this unit receives a Damaged counter, roll a die. On a 3 or higher, destroy it immediately.

Q: Does this happen when the tank receives a face-down counter or does it wait until hit counters are flipped during the casualty phase?
A: The roll occurs as soon as the Carro Armato M13/40 receives the face-down damaged counter.

Q: Assuming it goes second in an assault phase, would a Carro Armato still have a chance to shoot back if it failed its' Highly Flammable roll? Isn't damage applied simultaneously to both sides in the casualty phase?
A: Highly Flammable is an exception to the simultaneous damage rule. The flammability die roll is made when the damaged marker is received, and if the Carro Armato fails the roll, the tank is removed immediately.

Q: If a Carro Armato M13/40 receives 6 successful hits in a round, it would receive a face down disrupted, damaged and destroyed counter. The Carro Armato only has to succeed on one flammable roll because there is only one damaged counter. If successful it can return fire, if going second, before being destroyed in the casualty phase.
A: Correct.

Q: If a Carro Armato with a face-up damaged counter receives 6 successful hits in a round it receives a face down disrupted and destroyed counter. The Carro Armato gets to return fire, if going second, without having to make a flammable roll. Correct?
A: Correct. It's odd, but according to the letter of the rules, that's the way it works. Basically, no vehicle can ever receive two damaged markers in a game. Once you're damaged, you can't be damaged further, only destroyed.
