Fire Support and LOS

By frbfli, in Rules

Quote

When determining which defending minis can suffer wounds, line of sight is determined from the attacking unit, and not the unit using the fire support keyword.

Quote

A weapon is considered eligible if it is a ranged weapon, if the defending unit is at the weapon’s range, and if any other requirements of using the weapon are met.

Based on the two quotes pulled from the latest RRG, if I'm attacking with a unit of Shoretroopers and opt to use Fire Support from a friendly Mortar Team, does the Mortar team need to have LOS on the defending unit? I know that they have to have range.

Yeah, each mini needs to have LOS. Page 39:

During the “Form Attack Pool” step of a friendly unit’s ranged
attack, each mini in a unit with the fire support keyword
may contribute an eligible weapon to the attack pool if that
mini has line of sight to any mini in the defending unit.

Also note that minis that are eligible to suffer wounds are exclusively determined by the attacking unit. Any minis that are not visible to the attacker, but are visible to the Fire Supporter are not eligible to suffer wounds.

I completely skimmed over that part. Thanks!
