Sorry, guys, but I've got something different than the rest of you (speaking in NFHS here). For a sense of simplicity, I'm going to assume that there are no half-the-distance enforcements on this one, in which case I've got 2nd and 5 for A. If there is no "order of occurance", then they offset and you stay put. Even if there is an order, the technically correct thing to do is to march off 15 yards in one direction and then 15 back the other way which puts in where you started, 2nd and 5. No automatic 1st down.

A new series is awared after any 1st, 2nd, or 3rd down after considering the effect of any act during the down and any dead ball foul
by B.
B fouled first. We factor this in and award A the new series. We then consider A's act, penalize it, and then the chains are set.
