coe Posted March 29, 2000 Share Posted March 29, 2000 If this has already been discussed, I apologize for I have tried doing the search thing. Suffice to say, if someone can't point me to the discussion: In the Beta demo, I didn't notice the Squad leader (I know CM isn't squad leader) trick such that a machine gun can target a squad and then apply the same die roll to a specified number of hexes beyond it as long as there was no change in elevation and it was in the same line of fire... I guess this was to prove the power of a machine gun of sweeping down an entire "alley" has this been covered in CM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 29, 2000 Share Posted March 29, 2000 Search under 'grazing fire', there has been a fair amount of discussion and yes it has been covered. Ron [This message has been edited by Ron (edited 03-29-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted March 29, 2000 Share Posted March 29, 2000 Yes it is in. As a test why don't you try running a tank with some infantry on the back through an MGs line of fire (target the MG at some target in the distance. The unlucky SOBs who get in the way of the line of fire on the back of the tank get riddled . Same goes for rounds which go over obviously but it is easier to show with a unit transecting the line of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Galanti Posted March 29, 2000 Share Posted March 29, 2000 I think this might have been added (or at least improved) since the beta demo came out, so that test might not work in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted March 30, 2000 Share Posted March 30, 2000 Ben, you might be correct. It was so long ago We also have "plunging fire". I think if you do a search on that you will find a whole lot of discussion about both. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
