Sniper vs Armoured vehicle.

[Cross]

IAs far a distance goes...remember the hexes represent 50 meters, but it doesn't mean that units in adjacent hexes are 50 to 100 meters apart only. It can also mean they are just feet apart (unit 1 is in far right of its hex and unit 2 is in far let of its hex, for example). The game just doesn't allow for adjustments below the 50 meter hex size - nor, as it is, could it.

Hi Gunslngr,

One way the game could adjust for below 50M range is to only allow 'close assaults' when in the same hex as the target, instead of the current adjacent (1 hex) range.

Remember in the old days when you could load infantry into a truck in an adjacent hex? Then it was sensibly changed to the same hex.

I wonder if the same thing should be done with 'close assaults'?

You would still be able to throw grenades at AFVs 1 hex away, but you'd only get the 'close assault' bonus when in the same hex.

I would think that would be a step towards greater realism.
