[Rules] Leader effect on APC's morale

[Philippe]

Can a regular leader use his morale modifier to assist an APC morale check or recovery ?

Rule 6.8 seems to interdict that : Regular leaders may not use their morale modifier to assist AFV morale checks or recovery.
But it's seems strange that a regular leader of a mechanized infntery company can assist infantry platoons but not the APC's transporting the platoons.



And I've the same question for combining fire :
Can a leader stacked with an infantry + APC and adjacent of another stack of infantry + APC, use his combat modifier to combine the DF of the two infantry + the two APC ?
