infantry firepower vs vehicles clarification needed

By Silverwings, in Tide of Iron

Hi all,

We just finished our first set of games and we , so far, encountered only 1 problem.

Range of normal infantry against vehicles is 1. If we attack at range 1, is that considered normal range or short range in this case?

As short range is 1 but normal range for this attack is also 1.

So, do we need 4's or 5's to hit?

Thanks for informing us.

Since the vehicle is in an adjacent hex it is considered to be at close range so hits are scored on 4, 5, and 6. When determining the range parse the options until you find a matching condition so on page 22 it goes like this:

  • If it's in the adjacent hex to the attacking unit(s): close range
  • If it's not close range but is <= range value of attacking unit(s): normal range
  • If it's not normal range but is <= to 2x range value of the attacking unit(s): long range
  • If it's > 2x range value of the attacking unit(s): out of range

Hope that helps.
