I think that Squats should be penalized for drinking beer until late at night...but probably Squat players would say that Squats can resist any amount of beercans...


I don't agree with indirect barrages, you are not shooting at a place you see, you are shooting to a spot on the map where your forward observer has told you there is a target. I mean, indirect barrages scatter because (even at daylight) you shoot referring to your map position and enemy position on the map. Another thing is that with spoting distance limitation, your observer must be VERY close to the enemy and perhaps could get some nasty scattered barraged...

Probably, the point is that at night most barrages will be indirect.

I would also add a penalization to "To hit" rolls of -1 for nightshooting and -2 if you are shooting to a firing unit outside your spotting distance.


Another point is that Titans and Praetorians are always seen, and we could just supose the spoting distance for SH could be risen to 50 cm?

  You can't attack what you haven't spotted; and to spot the target has to be
  within spotting range or fired (or both, although in this case the firing
  doesn't matter since you could see the target anyway).

  You can't fire even direct barrages further than the spotting distance, so I
  wouldn't penalize them any further. BTW I just noticed that if the IG
  vehicle spotting range is 40cm then Bombard can't fire directly at all...

  Yep, I think that would be it.
