Miniatures rules - attacking while disabled?

[howdyhamster]

Miniatures 2e rulebook, page 13, section Vulcan Combat Drones, states in part:

...disabled units defend normally and attack at half strength while the crew recovers.

The D result on the CRT for Miniatures, and ODE, and all other versions, has always specified that disabled units cannot move or fire. So when does that half strength come into play?

During overruns, I think. Page 32, section "Attack Strength in Overruns" says: "Disabled units may fire in overrun situations, at half their attack strength."

Correct. This isn't the "normal" combat phase, it's only attacking during overruns.

I see it now - I figured it would come up in some sort of special maneuver. Thanks.
