1. Cover does not stack, it's a state that you are either in or out.
2. No, once you re-roll a die the second result must be used. This was not covered in the core rules but will be addressed further in the FAQ once it is completed.
3. you can pre-measure.
4. Repairing is done in any order the players want. German tanks that elect to give up repairing to make a Blitzkrieg move must execute these movements in initiative order using their movement initiative stat.

4. How?
A SU152 (in2) is damaged, a barkmann-panther (in6) is as well . Who has to repair fist & when would barkman get to move?
(if you say "whomever" you don't understand where this can lead to problem and I ask you to keep reading so I can fix this in my fan faq)
_____ not clear what I'm asking?
in "4." you say that anyone may repair in any order, yet German tanks doing Blitzkrieg moves in initiative order.
The rules for "Blitzkrieg" suggest that blitzkrieg moves are a simultaneous alternative to repairs. This leads to a problem:
repairs happen

How do they chose when to repair or use their blitzkrieg move? can they wait until all enemies have repaired and then "decide" to start their repairs but forfeit them all to make blitzkrieg moves? Do germans have to chose weather to repair or not in initiative order, but no one else needs to??
Scenario A:
A SU152 (in2) has busted tracks (cant move), in its flank and out of LOS a tiger is parked (i5) who incidentally has also busted tracks but is also on fire...
the Russian only has one effect to repair, the german has two that are in varying priority: IF the Russian were to repair his tracks and become able to swing around, the tiger would need his tracks back (to move back out of LOS). if the Russian fails his repair, the german may want to ignore the tracks (as the SU152 cant draw LOS, even w/o moving) and repair the engine fire... Now according to your response the Russian player in his deadbeat-slow tank, well aware of this strategical dilemma, may claim that he wants to attempt to repair AFTER the german (as your quote technically allows him to do) to give the German, though higher initiative, no room to make his decision based on what happens to the Russian first... I know this game is all fun and giggles, it really is, but what prevents two players to come to a stalemate here? "you repair first - no you!"
(and please :D save me this all-time super stupid response - yadayadayada - "the Russian is being a no-fun-no-beer-and-pretzels-dance-your-name-flowers-in-your-hair-losing-is-just-like-winning-participation-medals-andstuff-person here and I "shouldn't be playing against him". as of right now it seems such behavior wouldn't only be allowed but encouraged, as he would just be making the decision not to repair first.)
Scenario B:
like A, but no damage on the Tiger. Does the Tiger at in5 have to make his blitzkrieg move before or after the Russian (in2)? "hey mate, your a fine bloke, you go last, let me do my stuff first and you get me back next turn"??
In the rules it says blitzkrieg moves happen at the same time as repairs, yet you separate them into moves at initiative and repairs whenever - I feel it should be initiative order for both, repairs and moves with attacker/defender-tie rules.
