Auto defensive fire

[Aaron]

Each defender gets up to 3 shots just as in your move, artillery 2. If your unit gets disrupted it will lose a shot. So as far as how many shots a unit CAN take is the same as in your phase. The word here is CAN though, of course theres a mathematical calculation involved on weather it fires or not.

Hey Taz, thanks for the insight.

So if one of my recon units happens to bump into a stack of, say four enemy units for instance, it could theoretically get hit with as many as a dozen defensive shots?

I dont believe the maths will allow this against a single unit as i have never seen it, i would say more towards 3 shots at the most

And if a defender is attacked from multiple hexes, do they get three shots against each enemy hex that attacked them, or just three shots total? It sure seems like when I'm attacking an enemy with stacks of several units from two or three surrounding hexes the defender gets off a lot more than just three shots.

Thats 3 shots per unit in the defending stack, so if he has 3 units there you could get up to 3 shots from each unit

I think I'll run a few tests and actually keep track of the opportunity fire and see what I can find out.
