Extreme Assault Clarification

[Jason Petho]

I was working on the Combat section of the manual for Modern Wars and just noticed something I wasn't clear on before regarding how the 15% attack win or 10% defence win functions.

Here is my blurb from the manual, hopefully it clears things up.

Extreme Assault works under the same rules, but has a significant additional element factored into the equation, primarily the Morale of the unit. All of the Morales are summed, with a -3 penalty for Disrupted defenders, and averaged based on the number of units defending the target hex. After the Combat elements of the Assault have been calculated, a second die roll is performed and compared to an internal Assault Combat Results Table. If the Attacker wins the die roll, the defender’s Morale suffer a -5 Penalty. If the defender’s win, the defender’s Morale is increased by 3. A Morale Check is performed based on the defender’s modified Morale and the assault is successful if the defender fails the Morale Check and at least one of the assaulting unit(s) remains undisrupted. Otherwise, the defending wins and remains in the target hex.

The internal Assault Combat Results Table also allows any assault scenario a 15% chance of success and the defender a 10% chance of remaining in position. Of course, this is negated if the defender does not pass the final Morale Check.

All of the Middle East scenarios were designed with the intended use of Extreme Assault.
