odds question-- Armor shooting from a town or village hex

Big Dawg · 04-26-2009, 11:20 AM,

I recall Jason explaining that armor firing from a village or city hex will suffer a penalty.

Could someone please confirm that this penalty is standard with the JTCS version & is completely separate from the EA rules.

Setting: Say you have a tank unit, enough points for 1 shot & there is a road that runs through the village.......

Would be best to drive outside of the village to make your shot provided it was safe to do so?

Thanks guys!

I seem to remember that the discussion was in the context of assault into a built-up hex either by armour or against armour.

Dawg,
I don't think armor did all that well in villages,towns,etc historically but have no stats to support that assumption..........also don't know much about odds etc in any setting ( I don't study every table nor blade of grass as most of my opponents can attest to).........however I do have one burning question to a retired Porn star..............can you intro me to any retired female porn stars?............ I would ask about active ones but, I am old and it would probably kill me.......... but then again if you gotta die........you gotta die :-)

VE,

Can you catch a flight to Pensacola, FL next week?

We are shooting next week and are looking for a "hotel manager" for 2-3 scenes. I could hook you up!

You would be perfect!

Thanks Umbro.

I posted a question for Jason at the Matrix site too.

So armor shooting from a village at another armor unit in a field outside of said village suffers NO penalty?

Correcto!

That is correct.

Penalties are suffered during assaulting.

How about bridges?

I know the new rules penalize infantry units trying to shoot from a bridge...with a major reduction in fire power...but haven't noticed if the same penalty applies to armor?

I've noticed that too -- reduced fire power from infantry shooting from a bridge. The reduced firepower is displayed either in the attack box or in the combat result box, if I'm not mistaken. I'm assuming if the armor firepower is reduced, you'd see it in one of those boxes too.
