Opportunity Fire

[Pip Roberts]

From comments over the years and experience I have reached the following conclusions and list them for your comments please
GENERAL Many Blitzers think that Opfire is unreliable so it is better to keep the points for own use. Some OPfire is desirable to keep the opponent guessing. The OPfire global setting overrides individual settings so there is no point in setting different Opfire for some units
HARD VEHICLES Generally avoid using OPfire. If you want to set Global OPfire and you set an ambush (where you can hide from passing tanks and hit them from the rear) use up points by moving the ambusher so it will stay secret until it appears later.. Set OPFire range at Short for hard targets but set at never for soft vehicles and Infantry
ANTI-TANK Set Medium for hard vehicles & place unit near a tank pathway with a side obstruction to its view so that the gun will only fire at the side of an enemy tank. As it only has 2 shots it will be lost if there several enemy tanks. Set range at never for Other Firing U[/b]nits
OTHER FIRING UNITS Set at Medium so that Infantry will only fire one hex out
