Advanced Squad Leader Tactical #19 - Bite-Sized Rules - Part 9

[@ASLAcademy]

Note: I think I already covered #42 if a previous video. So you get a double dose of it!

Rule 12.3 says "Hidden Status is considered the equal of concealment except as otherwise specified" and 12.13 allows you to fire at Concealed units to reveal them. So I've always assumed that you treat HIP units as concealed units if you shoot at their hex (such as through OBA for example).

[@doubled1043]

Personally, I would like to see each example followed through to completion, with all proper markers placed(prep, resid,pin, etc) as well as all DR/Dr that would see each to completion.

[@StewsReplay]

Isn't that a simple AAR/replay?

[@Hedgehobbit]

In the Spraying Fire example, could the MG have picked the building in W5 as the second hex for spraying, thus making placing residual firepower that would affect the German squad when it enters that hex?

[@ASLAcademy]

Yes. The hexes only need to be adjacent to one another and in LOS of the firer.

If smalls arms fire at empty hexes are Area Fire as with Guns fire at empty hexes, then I think the RF in hex X5 in your spraying fire example wound be 1 RF - not 2 RF? ;)

[@ASLAcademy]

?? 4fp (MMG) x 2 (PBF) = 8fp x .5 (Spray) = 4fp attacking X5, which leaves 2fp residual.

@@ASLAcademy But if IFT fire at empty hex is like guns case K(Fire at a hidden unit) or case 23 in ASLSK, then it is area fire for firing at empty hex And with one more case of area fire it have to be half ones again - or do I misread the the rules?

[@phildraper3401]

@@ASLAcademy 4 FP (MMG) x2 (PBF) x .5 Spraying Fire x.5 Area Fire for non occupied location = 2 FP attack which leaves 1 resid. @nielsskaaningludvigsen8431 is correct.

Nice, always informative.

[@ASLAcademy]

Double informative this time. I think I covered a topic already covered (Conditional ROF). Oh well, it's already in the can. Not going to re-film it now. 🥴

@@ASLAcademy one of the keys to this game is repetition, so no worries about that.
