Moon Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Yes, if a friendly unit crosses the fire line, there will be no casualties. If the friendly unit enters the target area, the area fire order will additionally be cancelled by the TacAI. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tar Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 In general line-of fire is not really tracked in CM, so you can freely and safely shoot (small arms) through your own troops. Cannon shell is a bit trickier, since there is the possibility of hitting your own forces if you miss the intended target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin I believe this is also dependant on the experience level of the unit and visibility. I recall a night battle in a village with my conscript partisans were there was so much "friendly fire" that the Germans could have just sat outside the town and not fired a shot and they still would have won... Although realistic, it was quite frustrating to watch as my Maxim HMG opened up on one of my own platoons as they tried to sneak across a street. :mad: :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apex Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Moon is basically correct, with one exception: Don't try this at night. apex 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
