Hi,
The subject says it all, really - in what sort of circumstances would you want to use Opp Fire?
Thanks!

It is rare that I use Opp Fire. Typically, it is when I have medium sized kill stack (something like a -1 leader directing 8-12 FP) that is suffering under CX or whose targets are concealed. Since I also normally use very little prep fire the circumstances probably also include short range and lots of maneuver elements at my disposal.Zoetrope said:The subject says it all, really - in what sort of circumstances would you want to use Opp Fire?
I'm not a big fan of searching. It is usually easier to simply move into the hext to try to strip concealment. It is necessary sometimes to search (PTO comes to mind), but when I do it it is the automatic loss of a HS, or I roll 6 and nothing happens.WinningerR said:Sure, you sacrifice the HS -- but the trade-off is often worthwhile.
I agree searching is necessary in the PTO, especially against the Japanese, but I really hate being TI for the rest of the turn.Brian W said:I'm not a big fan of searching.
