Op fire filter question.

Whaouch ! This is a revolution !
So CD players have a definite edge over DL players ??
Is that new feature able to prevent the dancing tactics ?

No, it just makes it more difficult for the attacker to use certain types of vehicles. It also makes it possible for the defender to select targets, by type and frontal armor. So you can set an ambush to ignore trucks and only shoot at tanks with a front armor rating higher then you select. Or lower. so a MBT will go by while the APC full of troops following it will be shot at by a anti-armor weapon that cannot kill the MBT but can kill the APC.
The setting are onlt affected by area fire for the category of the area fifing unit. I think. The Manual doesn't say, but I have experimented and think that is the way it works. In the DL version you can blow and ambush by area firing and the ambushers will reset the range to that of the area firing unit plus 1 hex. Now it will just reset the range for that type of unit.
I don't use it against players that don't have the CD and seldom against those that do. Only the aces.
