Hi there. Couple of quick queries if I may;
1. Cohesion of infantry within a squad- I assume its everyone within 6" otherwise you're looking at a squad potentially spread out right across the table?
2. Related to the above- how does blast damage work against infantry in a squad who are out of LOS of the target? I was going to house rule that anyone in the same squad (i.e. within 6" if the above is correct) can be impacted, whether they are in LOS or not?
Many thanks for any assistance. I'm really looking forward to giving the rules a try.

Hi Majestic12, 1. As long as a soldier is within 6" of another soldier, they count as in the same unit. So they could potentially spread out right across the table if you joined all your squads together, although in practice this kind of thing never happens, as it would mean some of the men being exposed to enemy fire, and would take time to set up, during which your men would be getting shot at and probably not shooting back... 2. Blast damage effects everyone in the unit, even if they are outside of LOS of the initial target. Soldiers outside of LOS would count as in cover against blast weapons (so 5+ to hit instead of 4+). Hope that helps, and you enjoy the system  |

Thanks. Just to clarify;
1. As long as wash soldier is within 6” of another they are considered in the same squad?
2. So it doesn’t matter how far away the other members of the squad not in LOS are? So for example a soldier is 30” away from the targeted individual (but within 6” of other squad members etc linking him back so still a member of the same squad) are they still effected by a blast weapon?

1. yes that's correct - this is described on page 3 "How Units Work" 2. Yes that is also correct - since blast weapons are usually only a maximum of 2 or 3 dice, it shouldn't be much of a problem, at most you'll have 1 or 2 soldiers hit who were behind cover and/or out of range of the attacking unit. Hope that Helps |
