Looking at the Minis rules we don't have a value for minimum range in respect to gun mounts. There is however a requirement for minimum range to exist for ASW weapons and the DB2K land artillery units. The implications of hitting a Mach 3 missile at 100m from your ship are covered by a separate rule in the minis version and the original H2 value was probably there as some type of workaround for the inability to model this rule.

I think I'll enter this for ASW Contact weapons and leave the gunnery to be "fixed" by editing of respective Databases. If the H4.1 Master rules don't have minimum values specified, I will have an extremely hard case to make for re-inclusion. On the other hand I think we shouldn't have much trouble with trying to get ASW weapons fixed as they have minimum range values in the minis game.

Cheers

.sem files: You guys are on it and there really is a work around but slows down the process.

Just a short update on the original issue. Darrel has found an issue with the Export Weapon Edits function which would cause the function to use the wrong unit as the "first entry" although it was in the middle of the unit list. Basically this means that the first half of the list doesn't get processed. I am not sure if there is a workaround for this issue or if it affects all scenarios.

Cheers,

Yes I got a response from Darrel last night and the issue seems to be on the way to being resolved. He said there's really no work around but they've fixed the problem.[:)] We'll see in September.

Darren thank you for your time. We'll make our own case or make the adjustment. Your assistance is appreciated by not required. All I can really ask of you guys is to post it in the wiki when changes are made if possible. Will save you support questions and frankly is just a good practice (change control).

Thanks again...
