Do the special effects of Indirect Fire on other units in the targeted hex still apply when the Indirect HE Fire is within 3 hexes and treated as Direct
Fire?
To put it another way, if an Indirect HE unit fires at 1 to 3 hexes range (treated as direct fire) on 1 unit in a hex containing 2 other units and scores a hit
do the other 2 units still have to take an S? result?
And can i still place barrage counters when Indirect Fire is at 1-3 hexes? (As it is technically treated as Direct Fire, i wondered if the Indirect special
effects do not apply).

Only indirect fire gets to place the barrage markers. Mortar units can only perform indirect fire with a range of 1 hex up to their range limit. Artillery
Units can only perform indirect fire with a range of 4 hexes up to their range limit.
If direct fire is being performed (such as when an artillery unit is firing at an enemy unit 3 hexes away or fewer), then no barrage marker is placed, and other units in the hex do not experience the other effects of indirect fire. |
