RE: Bombardment Chart - Example
Thanks for the explanation and examples.
However, I still contend that an X result in any column equals a step loss AND a M2 morale check on those units remaining in the targeted hex. I think that most people know that an artillery or mortar shell concentration landing on, or in the immediate vicinity of combat units willl surely to exact a toll of some kind on all those present in a 200-meter area.
Realisticaly, there is indeed a penalty for an INF unit that is dug-in with an attractive bombardment target like a dug-in ATG platoon. Both targets are static, and fixed n-place, therefore subject to more accurate bombardment if spotted - even more so if the artillery or mortar units firing can also observe the target.
I know that this is a reality-based example, and that this is a only a game simulation . . .
As others have mentioned, whimsy enters into this picture because the muddled rule set allows it, as is proven be the variety of opinions as to how this CRT result should be handled. I say, decide how to play this kind of situation in advance with your opponent in shared play. Use the goosebrown method of a simple odd, or even, die roll to decide which way to go when there is a question of how to proceed, and be consistent in your play-through. You can mention this is the AAR, if you chose, and maybe have a better understanding of how to "game" the situation when it next arises. After all, this is JUST a game, and subject to the biases and whims of the players involved.
Good grief, have some fun with each other in shared play, and quit worrying about the number of angels that can stand on the head a pin.
