Firing questions

Post by jre »

The last game and its rule checking brought a few questions:

If there is an overlapping base in a melee and some of my archers behind it, while the enemy has archers facing them 4 MU distant, p. 26 lets my opponent shoot fully (only friendly forces block LoS) while my own bases are obscured and cannot shoot. We wondered if it was deliberate to ignore the principle of reciprocity of fire (if I can shoot you, you can shoot me). Gave the opponent a 2 dice advantage in the shooting duel.

A knight base in second rank while the BG is in melee at the front is an eligible missile target. Again we wondered if this was deliberate as this contrasts with other units.

The rules say that heavily armoured foot is shot at 0 by artillery and firearms, while the table has those weapons with a - POA against any foot. I know you are revising the war wagon rules, but as they are foot, firearms and crossbows are at -- and artillery at - against them. We assume the table is correct.
