We are playing HS26 “Got Milkâ€, which has a creeping barrage (E12.7) in it. Do to extent of error I had to Lift the Barrage. I want to know if my interpretation of the relevant rules was right.
Here’s what happened. The Barrage came in on time (Black Card), but was not accurate (dr > 4) and drifted three hexes (Extent of error is halved) off of the line (Creeping Barrage Hex grain) in the First PFPh. During the next DFPh, I had to lift the Barrage because I am unable to reach the Creeping Barrage Hex grain, and thus had to lift it.
Here’s the relevant part of E12.74…
“Each Correction of a Creeping Barrage FFE counter is of two hexes, and must be attempted to (i.e. the [as perC1.4] must be placed in) a hex in the Creeping Barrage Hex Grain that is closer (in hexes) to the Aiming Hex than the FFE counter’s present hex. If this cannot be done, then the Creeping Barrage must Lift (12.76). Each Correction is subject to a normal accuracy dr, and if inaccurate is also subject to a direction of error and a subsequent error of one hex. “
Thus my thinking was that since I was unable to correct the AR to a hex in the Creeping Barrage Hex Grain, I had to lift it.
