Combined Unit Fire

[Kool Kat]

The primary disadvantage to group firing is that you are committing all the selected units to fire at the target, which might be overkill. For example, say you are trying to disrupt all the units in a hex. If you group fire with your 3 tank platoons at the first target, you might get a disrupt results on the first or second shot, and the remaining shots are "wasted" as far as disrupting the unit is concerned. If you single fired the units you might have been able to spread the shots around more and disrupted more enemies.

Excellent advice Mike! :)

I tend to "one shot" my targets while on the look out for that first instance of an enemy unit disrupt so I don't waste shots. I then have other available options such as assault, reposition attacking units, move more units into the battle, etc.

Interesting thread!
