Forward Observers
If a unit using indirect fire has LOS to its target, it acts as its own Forward Observer. If the unit doesn’t have LOS to its target, another unit must act as its Forward Observer and a Comms Check is required. If the check fails, the unit fires but automatically misses. Place a Fire Marker on the unit.
Unit with LOS to Target: Unit may use indirect fire.
Unit with no LOS to Target: Comms Check required. If the check fails, the unit fires but misses.
Indirect Fire Hit Procedure
Roll to hit the target unit using FP or AT depending on the target and apply the results.
Target Number: Indirect Fire has a 4+ TN.
Friendly Fire
If a unit rolls more 1’s than 6’s when firing for effect with indirect fire, the attack misses and hits the closest friendly unit with 4” of the target. Roll for effect against the friendly target.
Close Support Units and Opportunity Fire
Close support units cannot use opportunity fire.
