Winter Wars, Reduced visablity question	Fri, 26 November 2010 23:10

Okay... units are only HIT on a grenade at range ( and stars if applicable ), and on the unit symbol in "Close Assault". Got that. The barrage card is played normally hitting on symbols and Grenades. So is Artillery being indirect fire also, subject to only hitting on a grenade also? or full Range of Grenade and symbol??? Flags are flags. But the Barrage card makes me think that Artillery should not be reduced mainly because of the randomness inherent in indirect fire to begin with. So what do y'all think??? Is indirect Artillery restricted by reduced visibility??? Not in real life.... So how do you play it? [Report message to a moderator]

Good question, but I will do as we are most often adviced to do. Read the rule as it stands. Artillery that battles from range hit only on grenade, artillery that battles in close assault hit on grenade and unit symbol. Stig Morten [Report message to a moderator]

Thanks for the answer Richard, sometimes the intent of the card is a little different than the wording, and I just wanted to be sure. [Report message to a moderator]

Another question:

Quote:

Any non-Infantry unit targeting a Tank
Destroyer unit will score a hit on any star rolled.

Hit these units also the tank destroyer in range fire and
Reduced Visibility rules?

Winter Wars rulebook p.4

Special units, Command or Combat cards that score a hit when a Star is rolled, still score hits on Stars.

So I guess, when Reduced Visibility is applied, non-infantry units hit a tank destroyer also on a star, like this is a "special rule".

That's the way I read it! [Updated on: Mon, 29 November 2010 13:56] [Report message to a moderator]
