20.0 Off Board Artillery

Smoke Example [18.0]

In this example a Grenade, an 81mm Mortar and a Smoke Grenade have landed during Turn 1. The 81mm mortar explodes during the turn and has a Smoke Marker placed on it. The Grenades will explode at the end of Turn 1 and have Smoke Markers placed on them then. So at the end of Turn 1 each hex will have a Smoke Marker. At the end of Turn 2 each Grenade, Smoke Grenade, Artillery Marker will compare the number of Smoke Markers with its Smoke Rating. The Mk 2 Grenade has a Smoke Rating of 1 and already has 1 Smoke Marker so this will be flipped to its Fading Smoke side. The Other 2 Markers have Smoke Ratings higher than the 1 Smoke Marker on each so will both have an additional Smoke Marker placed in the direction of the wind (hexes 15.08 and 14.08). At the end of Turn 3 the Grenade in hex 16.08 will have the Fading Smoke Marker and the Grenade Marker removed. The 81mm Mortar and the M18 Smoke Grenade will have an additional Smoke Marker placed in hexes 15.07 and 14.07 respectively. At the end of Turn 4 the Smoke Markers from the 81mm Mortar Marker and the Smoke Grenade will be flipped to their Fading Smoke side. Starting on Turn 5 the furthest Marker will be removed.

Turn 5

Off Board Artillery attacks are generated by Random Events during the game and are out of the control of the player. When an Off Board Artillery attack is generated the Event will have the following attributes: • The type of fire (60mm, 81mm, 105mm, etc.). In this case,

Friendly 81mm mortar fire. • The number of attacks that you roll for. For each attack roll 1D10 for the Initial Hex number and place an artillery

Marker of the appropriate size in the hex. • Scatter 1D6. For each attack now roll 1D6 for the direction and the appropriate die or dice as specified in the Event. Artillery will attack all characters in the final hex.
