Planned fire missions are allocated before the first turn of the game, but after players have deployed their Blinds. Make a note of these fire missions and reveal them to the opposing player when the fire missions are called.
Staff Orders and Planned Fire Missions
It doesn’t cost any Staff Orders to allocate a planned mission. Staff Orders are only paid when a battery is ordered to fire.
Ammunition Supply
A battery with a Planned Fire mission checks its ammunition supply each turn at the end of the Friendly Logistics Phase. If it runs out of ammunition, it stops firing and its mission is cancelled. The battery may be given a new fire mission next turn.
Command Failures and Pre-Planned Missions
A planned fire mission cannot be called in the same turn as a friendly Command Failure.
A battery’s on-going mission will be canceled by a Command Failure unless Staff Orders are paid to continue it.
Available Planned Fire Missions
- Pre-Registered Barrage
- Designated Targets
- Rolling Barrage
