Old questions never die. I did a search for this question but could not find an answer. If you roll snake eyes, do you cower?
Thanks

If you would otherwise cower, then yes you do cower. There are some players that play with a house rule that a DR2 never cowers, although I have never used that house rule.Bocko said:Old questions never die.

Yup. And it really sucks when you're the guy firing. I hate it.Bocko said:Old questions never die. I did a search for this question but could not find an answer. If you roll snake eyes, do you cower?
Well here's my question:Robin said:Here is a dumb "realism" question.
As British don't fear cowering, and fire all FP possible, even the smallest ones
Well, yes. A very important target may not have moved yet. Your opponent moves someone else. You can fire at the moving / less important target now and Subsequent First Fire later. But if you cower, the more important target will get a free ride.I've never passed up a shot for fear of cowering. I know what the cowering implications are but do others actually do this, "I'll fire at the moving guy in... no, wait, he might cower, nevermind."
Just checking.
As do I but it's because I'm waiting/hoping for the better shot at the important target, not because of the potential cowering result.SamB said:Well, yes.

So, sometimes in such situations I decline to fire.
I don't know about Brits, but I can tell you that playing a campaign with the Japanese is frustrating as your leaders quickly die if you expose them to fire. Good leaders will especially draw the hammer since causing them to fail morale once gives a good chance of never seeing them again.Robin said:Are there historical reasons that prove that Brits were more prone to suffer from snipers?
In terms of game playing, if a particularly important but unprotected British leader happens to be near the enemy sniper counter, the British are not "required" to fire all FP possible.Robin said:Here is a dumb "realism" question.
As British don't fear cowering, and fire all FP possible, even the smallest ones, they will provoke more SAN DRs.
Are there historical reasons that prove that Brits were more prone to suffer from snipers?
Of course this is not a true question for me, as ASL is just a game and most of "realism" questions lead to dead-ends [I thought useful to specify this, so that we don't extend a full discussion about that dumb question] :roll:
