Fellow Fanatics,
I'm reading the rulebook line by line and finding, if course, rules that I did not know existed or one that I had hitherto misunderstood.
Case in point: A9.22 states the following in the last paragraph:
"However, neither NVR (E11) nor any SMOKE/ brush/grain/marsh/FFE/LV-(E3.1)/DLV-(F11.6)/Dust-(F11.794)/hut-(G5.21) Hindrance affects LOS for Fire Lane placement/attack purposes."
The word that is messing me up here is "placement." If I am reading this rule correctly, I can place a fire lane at a unit which - due to the number of Hindrances - is out of my LOS. So let's say your proverbial 4-6-7 is trying to cross the street. I'm covering the street with an MMG. He manages to put +6 smoke down on me and the adjacent hex so that I am unable to see the squad cross the street. But as soon as the squad tries to cross the street I fire on him, leaving a Fire Lane.
Somehow this sounds screwy to me. Can someone set me straight here?
