Weather card effects & Assaults

By CthIngo, in Tide of Iron

Some weather cards (Heavy rain, Thunderstorm) indicate:
"Infantry units attacking at close and normal range are considered to be at long range."
Does this also apply to assaults?

Since assaults are up close and personal, I would not think so.

Wow, that was a fast answer by Rob Kouba from FFG:

"No, weather effects on range do not apply to assaults."

Thanks!

Very important! Glad to know!
