CAFP and CA

[milhaud]

Hello there, May the Gun fire to the Tiger I in bypass without CA change?...
Tiger needs to change its TCA to fire to the Gun as needed... and, for the other hand I was unable to get any literature about reverse situation. Thanks in advance.
Best of wishes.

PD: Any rules reference would be seriously wellcomed.

Yes. The Gun (I assume the one in L5, "orsha") may fire since a Bypasser (the target) is considered to be in the hex being bypassed:

C.5A RANGE: Range is always measured from the firing hex to the hex containing the target (C.5C); just because a vertex is also part of a closer hex does not allow the firer to reduce the range to that other closer hex.​

​

C.5B FIRE WITHIN CA: A firer that must fire within a given CA must have the hex containing the target completely within its CA — merely having the vertex (or hexside) aiming point forming a part of the boundary of its CA is insufficient.​

​

C.5C The hex containing the target by definition must include the building/woods obstacle being bypassed, or the hex the target would remain in if affected by that fire (e.g., Snapshot [A8.15], Rowhouse "Bypass" [B23.71], Underbelly Hit [D4.3]) or the lower side of a cliff hexside being Climbed (B11.42).​

​

...and you're correct, the Tiger couldn't reciprocate without changing TCA because of the limited CAs of a Bypasser (D2.321).

P.S.... any relation to Darius? ?

Hard to tell from the picture, but I assume that is a woods hex the Tiger is VBMing?

I had the same thought! ? But I think I see a smidge of woods...

Kinda have to assume so for the sake of the post. It couldn't bypass a brush hex.
