I don't understand what appears in fire mode

Post by balenami1291 »

I read manual:
Move your cursor over the target you wish to attack. A display showing the soft and hard attack factors will appear.

If I move mouse over the target i read

3 - rifle platoon @ 1

or, in the same hex when the target isn't red-higlighted, 0/1

I don't understand how to use this data checking the combat result table (parmater data) or the attack and defense factors

Excuse for my bad english...

I cut this from the Tutorial and explains it pretty simply. Try the tutorials and bootcamp SCN's first. It displays hard and soft attack values. A zero would indicate it has no attack against a hard target.
xample: “10/4” might be displayed when an anti-tank platoon targets a hex. “10” is the attack factor the platoon would use against a “hard” (or armored) unit in that hex, and “4” is the attack factor the platoon would use against a “soft” (or non-armored) unit in that hex.
On a 3D map, when the Fire Mode cursor roams directly over a valid target and highlights it in red, a more detailed box appears that lists (from left to right) that Target’s Strength Points, its name, and the firing unit’s nominal attack strength vs. that target.
xample: “5 - BA-20 @ 10” would signify a 5-SP BA-20 (Russian Armored Car) being targeted
by a firing unit with an attack factor of “10”.
