F14 update now available from HPS

[Volcano Man]

"A & B quality units can fire quite well enough already so none of that new PDT stuff is utilized. This feature was really only added for some future games which might have *very small* elite units."

Here is why I'm asking: I'm playing two campaigns as French/BEF and I have maybe seventyfive-one hundred small MG units rated A & B. I've been firing these separately, when stacked with other lower rated units, to get the bonus, and taking extra auto D fire hits in the process. Should I, from this point on, in these older games begun before the update, just fire A units with C-F units together? We are in Day 2 so it's too late to begin anew. jonny :conf:

AFAIK fire attacks are not totaled per se, they are handled individually but the loss results are totaled. In other words, firing a stack and firing just one unit is just as effective, except that firing a single unit at a time will incur more opportunity fire against that hex - so I would avoid doing that unless you are trying to... draw attention to the hex (which can be useful at times). Now there might be something about rolling one die instead of several dice (random number seeds) and all that sort of thing between firing one unit at a time and firing all of them, but for the most part it is better to fire the whole stack at once.
