RE: AT fire *during* assault
This excerpt to me is the best summary and makes game play easy. The only words I would add is that in this example where 1 or more T34's 'Assault' rather than AT fire, the StGIII's would also get to defend on the Assault table. My words added in brackets and italics :

And the positive outcome of all this shows why all rules debates should not end in thrown teddies !!

********************************************************************************************

Put those together and it seems to me that if you initiate an assault, all units that move into the assault hex in that activation must participate in Assault combat using the Assault Table. If they begin their activation in an assault hex, they may either fire with AT fire at armor in the hex or assault. They may not do both. Infantry AT weapons in an assault hex are a special case, spelled out in SSRs.

If assaulted, the defenders all participate in Assault Combat using the Assault Table. Since defending does not count as their activation, they may (on their activation) either assault or use AT fire against the enemy in the assault hex (or recover, exit the hex, dig-in, or just sit there).

In the example of the StuGs assaulting the T-34s, when the StuGs move into the hex, they all must assault. All of the T-34s will defend, and both sides will use the Assault Table. Assuming they all survive with no disruptions, the T-34s on their activation may
1) All three assault the StuGs (StG's defend on and roll on assault table), or
2) All fire at them with AT fire (StG's no recourse to assault table), or
3) One fires using AT fire and the other two assault, (StG's defend and roll on assault table at 1 x T34) ) or
4) Two fire using AT fire and one assaults (StG's defend and roll on assault table at 2 x T34) or
5) Use a Move activation to dig in, exit the hex, etc. (StG's no recourse to assault table)

In (3) or (4), the Russian player may activate all of them together in one activation, and choose which to carry out first, the AT fire or the assault.

Assuming all three StuGs survive with no disruptions, on the following turn the German player will have the same choices as the Russian player did.
