What is the hex firing range for a regular infantry piece.

John,

I would guess that infantry range is 1 hex or 250m, outside the hex they are in. The MG42 should be good for 4 hexes or 1000m.

Just mine guess.

Thanks Richie. Does that mean they would have to be adjacent to the target hex or one hex away?

Guys,

It may shock you but the average infantry platoon can shoot three to four hexes. That's out to 1,000 meters. Keep in mind that there is pretty serious range attenuation and most (effective) shots will be one to two hexes away maximum. These rifle platoons have LMG's etc included in their inventory which is a factor in the range. SMG units usually have a two hex range and pure MG units four to six dependent on the equipment. It becomes pot shots beyond two hexes for anything other than an MG and half the time you don't want to reveal your position until you can see the whites of their eyes...

Thanks for the reply. That gives me more reason to buy the game.
