C then takes a shot... it would be a 3+2=5AT on the KV1 at this point.....Assume it is not successful with either shot....Desperation rises in the German camp...
Yes, it sets up the crossfire. This is specifically stated in the third paragraph of the crossfire rule.

At this point with the 3rd Activation--- B would like to shoot---is it a 2AT or a 4AT??
4AT because the KV1 was attacked by C...and considering ONLY that, the 37mm would get Crossfire...
or
2AT because the first shot in this turn's ambush came from A, and it went through the same hexside that B would as well????....
AT gun
B would not get the crossfire bonus because, as you note, the shot goes through the same hexside as the first shot. The rule says that " the second and/or subsequent Anti-Tank attack must be traced through an actual non-adjacent hex..."

That turn...Thus the B unit fires at only 2AT...
HOW do those who care decide this? Does this align with how others have/would resolve it, did we miss something or has anyone some other rationale to offer giving B a 4AT?
*One might make the case that given it's a platoon, some vehicles would turn to face the C threat
--thus exposing their soft behinds to the vagrancies of B...(as yet unknown perhaps...)...
Be careful, we don't want to make this into ASL. (Or A Platoon L in this case?)
