FWWC & Alt Fire/Assault Resolution ORs

[Mr Grumpy]

Yes you are correct, these rules that are part of the optional rules list for the PzC series are on by default in the FWWC series.

This combined with high soft attack values for MG, Field gun and artillery units plus a much higher stacking allowance can make losses in FWWC very severe if you stack your battalions when in range of such weapons.

I have to admit I thought this was discussed in the designer notes, but a quick check and I cannot find any reference to the fact, however one big clue in the FWWC manual is in the firing section..........

"Fire Against Soft Targets
When a stack of soft targets is fired upon, then one randomly selected target in
that stack receives the majority of the fire while the other units in that stack
receive fire proportional to their strength relative to the total stack. The
exception to this is when only Field Guns (non Indirect Fire Artillery) fire on a
stack of soft targets, in which case Field Guns can choose their primary target
due to their high level of accuracy."
