Hi,
I am learning the rules by playing a few solitaire games. So far so good but I would like to confirm a few things. Hopefully someone could comment on the below statements:
Using board 12 for the examples:
1. Hedges are confusing me a bit.
A unit in 12U8 can fire at a unit in 12X7 with a +1 for the hedge because the hedge is part of 12X7 and the hedge does not block fire into the hex with the hedge.
A unit in 12U8 can not fire in to 12Y7 because the hedge blocks the line of sight.
What happens if a unit in 12R8 fires at 12S7? Does the hedge in 12S8 cause an hindrance?
2. DM Status
A broken unit is on the level one of 12U5. An enemy unit moves into level 0 of 12U5. Because the two units are adjacent the broken unit is DM'd. If the broken unit was on level one of V5 this would not happen.
3. Assault Fire Bonus
A German 8-3-8 unit assault fires at an adjacent unit. The 8-3-8 FP is as follows: (8 x 2)=16/2=8 +1 Assault Fire Bonus=9. Is it possible that the FP during the advance fire phase is greater then the normal FP?
During the advance firebase I had a firebase comprised of three hexes and a variety of units. Two hexes were adjacent to the target and one was one two hexes away. Some of the units had the assault fire bonus, some did not. What I did was I calculated the FP of each unit separately, taking into the assault fire bonus separately for each unit. I then added the resulting FP for each unit together. Was this correct?
Thanks for the help.
