Hi,
We have an aerial observer for a 100mm OBA purchased in a RB scenario - the RB purchase record indicates that the 100mm OBA module can fire HE/Smoke/IR.
If we have not purchased the aerial observer the module could fire smoke or HE for that matter into targeting a hex devoid of enemy units in the target hex or the 6 surrounding hexes of the normal blast zone, my understanding is this does not require a second OBA chit draw. However, the aerial observer sections E7.6 indicate that a sighting check must be made - in order to do this it seems that a target (concealed or unconcealed) must be stated to undertake the sighting TC.
Does this mean an aerial observer cannot use the OBA module to lay covering smoke or target a location that contains no enemy units, if it can what does it do about the sighting task check?
