Line of sight

Post by LeslieMitchell »

If a unit can draw a line from it's middle to any part of the target it can shoot at it (page 51)

on Page 53 UNIT D in the diagram has the extra rule it lose one dice in three if it can't draw a line from the one front corner to any part of the enemy, can't find this rule anywhere else.

My question is what if it can't draw a line from both corners to any part of the enemy, but can draw a line from the middle of the unit to that target what happens?

Is that consider firing over intervening units or what?

p.51 penultimate bullet point under "Dice Allocation".

"The firers will fire as if one cohesion level lower if a line cannot be draw from both front corners to a target unit."

It doesn't matter whether its one or both corners that are blocked, the reduction in dice will be the same. As long as a line can be drawn from the centre of the firing unit and the target is in front of the firing unit, it can fire at reduced dice.
