Artillery may be used to suppress a Blind. A Blind may be suppressed multiple times by artillery fire.
The artillery specifically targets the Blind. Place the Fire Template on the Blind and roll the Deviation Dice when it fires for effect. On a “Hit” the Impact Marker is on target, otherwise move it 1D+3” in the direction of the deviation arrow as normal.
If the centre of the fire template remains on the Blind, the Blind is hit by the battery’s Fire Dice (5+ TN). The Blind has 4D Reaction (5+ TN) regardless of the units it contains.
If the centre of the Fire Template isn’t on the Blind, but some of the Blind is covered by the Template, the Blind’s Reaction Dice is increased by +1D (5D).
Fire Dice: As per battery (5+ TN)
Blind Reaction: 4D (5+)
Cover Dice
Blinds benefit from cover the same as other units.
Effects of Fire
The Blind must roll more successes than the firing battery or take a suppression for each enemy success. Place the Suppression Markers on the Blind. Blinds are not Forced Back.
A Blind may have a maximum of four suppressions – any excess suppressions are converted into Disruption Points. Place the Disruption Points onto the Blind.
