Refit Ph and terrain blazes

[The Purist]

Just finished Dec 20 AM in KGP I and we seem to have two good size forest fires on the go during the refit phase. I looked but could not find what to do with the blaze markers in Woods, Pine Woods, Brush and Orchards.

Do the fires go out(I think so)?

Is the terrain effected (I could not find anything to say 'yes')?

Do they remain in place for the next CG Date and just keep burning (I am doubtful of this one)?

The rules cover buildings and fortifications but what do we do with a forest fire? :hmmm:

Yup, excellent question, but due to the rule specifically mentioning only Buildings/Wrecks then there is no change to Forests, they probably just end up like Oz after the usual Summer bushfires... black trunks instead of the old green things. Hence (like Rubble) they would be eligable for burning again.

As for removing the fire/blaze that is covered clearly in P8.6061 "... must remove etc, etc..." and P8.6095 mentions the other effects on fortifications within Blaze hexes.

A damn good question though, there is just SO much to burn on those beautiful maps!

That would be because it is impossible for those terrain types to catch fire in the first place. See KGP9 -- a flame can occur only in a building/rubble location.


"Is the terrain effected (I could not find anything to say 'yes')?"

Is the terrain affected...

effect is a noun
affect is a verb

Ahah!!!

Nothing like reading ALL the rules is there.

Thanks much.

Affect - effect

Per Merriam-Webster’s:

The verb ‘affect’ means “to produce an effect upon”.

The noun ‘affect’ means “the conscious subjective aspect of an emotion considered apart from bodily changes”.

The verb ‘effect’ means “to cause to come into being”.

The noun ‘effect’ means “something that inevitably follows an antecedent (as a cause or agent)”.

Used in a sentence:

The effect of modifying our affect will effect change that will affect us all.

Like anybody cares.

The verb ‘effect’ means “to cause to come into being”.

While technically true, neither usage is likely to come up in a ASL rules debate -- especially the first listed, since it only applies to psychology or is obsolete in its usage.

Using 'effect' as a verb is kind of prissy.

Affect redux

I don't know about that.

I always adopt a 'belligerent, yet self-assured' affect when I'm working out rules questions with Roy Connelly (aka 'thebigbad'). It seems to work for me.



Joke.

Then I agree, you are in need of psychological help. :nuts:
