I just want to bounce this off of you guys. In a game with limited visibility, soldiers cannot be seen more than 16" away. It says burst and spray weapons (long tom is a burst weapon) are not affected by this. Mechs can be discerned however. So if a command squad gives itself an order to fire the long tom, the radio man or miniature with artillary strike will have to have line of sight to a mech from any distance. But to fire the long tom at a soldier unit he must be within 16 inches and have LOS. While the long tom is a burst weapon, it still counts on visability and line of sight of a unit with the artillary strike ability. So I am to assume then that a Lothar could do a direct shot with a nebblewerfer (spray weapon) at troops more than 16" away, but a indirect attack would have to relay on an artillery man within 16" LOS of the enemy.

It is either the above, or it is worded the way it is so that artillery will always be able to fire in limited visibility.

Thoughts?
