Smoke

[karl]

Hi

I am in a level two building and my opponent has fired level 2 ordnance smoke into the hexes in front of me. I understand the smoke only reaches to level 1 and thus I can fire over it, but the question we have is when I fire onto the ground.

Does the smoke act like a level 1.5 building and all blind hexes created, if it where one, would have the smoke +3 mod roll and any other hex would be free as per LOS rules? Or any fire from Level 2 gets the +3 smoke hindrance to any LOS ground level hex.

Cheers

Karl

Good Morning Grentlemen and Karl

See example om page A50 of 2nd ed rulebook and you understand how it should work.
In short you get affected by +3 Smoke as you fire at any target lower than your unit at level 2 and not affected at all if firing at same level or higher units.
The Outgoing LOS Hindrance of A24.8 can never apply in this case.
