Terrain Combat Modifiers

[Liebchen]

Do all combat modifiers in the parameter data apply to both melee and fire combat? 

I ask because most logically should affect both melee and fire but some, like creek or stream, I could see modifying melee but I doubt would have much of an impact on fire combat.  So just wondering.

Looking at page 19 of the user manual, you will see that only hexside and elevation terrain features factor into melees:

• The largest hexside modifier of all of the hexsides the attackers are attacking through is applied to the attacking strength. Likewise, if the attackers are attacking across a Breastwork hexside, then the Breastwork modifier, as determined by Parameter Data, is applied to the attacking strength.

• If the attackers are attacking across a Creek hexside via a Bridge, then 30% is subtracted from the attacking strength.


• Melee attacks against higher elevations have a modifier equal to the elevation change (in elevation increments) times the Elevation Modifier (see the Parameter Dialog for this value).

Other terrain features are not mentioned under "melee.
