I always found it odd that mortars don’t indirect fire in this game. Like I wouldn’t even worry about the cover stuff, just say “Indirect: this model does not require direct line of sight to the defender”.

I'm sure that would open a few odd rule interactions, but there you go

Well, for one thing, the mortars should probably be significantly more points since now they can target units that can't target them. At the very least I feel SOME unit should have LoS to represent a spotter.

I didn't say that. I said there will be a detachment unit and that detachment MIGHT be a mortar type thing. It also might not be.

Gotcha and agree. We don't 100% know what plans FFG has for the CW factions. They might introduce a new unit type that will eventually be available to the other factions.

Yeah, coming from 40K, i was surprised FFG had mortars play like direct fire weapons.

Tho, in 40k, i really hate dealing with enemy indirect fire units. That's probably why FFG ruled mortar units as such. To keep gameplay fun over realism.

Commander Cards with indirect fire is better gameplay because you can only use it once per game. Imagine dealing with opponents who can indirect fire every turn. Ugh!
