Default Re: \"Z\" - fire

Thanks for a simple solution to a awkward problem in a hex and turn based game.
This is a huge improvment for infantery tactics in woods,
as it allows you to put suppresive fire into the hex beyond.

Previously you had to walk into the hex next to the defender, get your head shot off and only the upteen squad where able to make any offensive fire at the hidden defender.

Now you can spray, pray and advance with a chance to at least getting off the first rounds.

As I once was trained in "Fire line without depth" -
Squad in line abreast, three rounds - five steps - three rounds until the enemy position is overrun or a more deliberate assault is needed.

Cheers
John T
