A few questions from first play.
Hi there, finaly got around to playing Airborne IE last night, with 4th ed rules. And i have a couple of questions.
Limiting Terrain.
This got us a little confused the rules state
8.21 Spotting in Limiting Terrain
A unit occupying limiting terrain may only be spotted by enemy units within the designated distance on the Terrain Effects Chart (or less if the current spotting range is less due to night, weather, or other special scenario rules), or the line of sight to the unit's hex is blocked (8.41). Spotting range is three hexes for units or leaders in limiting terrain unless the TEC or scenario special rules specify differently.
No matter how much we looked at the TEC we could not find reference to some limiting terrains designated distance.
For example some units and a leader were in the village and this is listed as limiting terrain, and says see notes, in notes says "Blocks LOS, Limiting Terrain"
We interpreted the final sentence of 8.21 as units that were in limiting terrain had there spotting range reduced to 3 hexes as the pay of for using limiting terrain.
Assaults
We had the situation where the germans had assaulted a hex and disrupted one of the americans. In the american action segment a leader next to the village hex activated the unit in the village and the units in its hex. The disrupted unit rolled to recover moral then the leader and units assaulted the village. Would the unit that had moved/fired add his firepower to the assault and then would he be affected by the results of the assault?
Village
Do the column shifts for being in a village and being dug in add together on the fire charts? As being in a village on the TEC counts as being dug in.
Thanks all, hope people can answer these. Im sure were just missing some little bits of rules. We both massively enjoyed the game.
Cheers
Brian.
