Resolving Ranged Combat
The outcome of ranged combat attempts is determined as shown
EHORZ

To perform fire combat use the Fire!, Move and fire,

Opportunity fire or Reaction fire Actions
Then compare the following:
Attacker: 1D10 + Firepower + range modifier + other modifiers
Range modifier: +3 for short, 0 for medium and -3 for long
Other modifiers: +2 if Gone to ground, -4 if target Gone to
ground, -3 if target is in partial cover, plus
any modifiers from the chosen Action
Defender: 1D10 + Resilience if deadly fire or Guts if
suppressive fire
If Attacker total is greater than Defender total, Defender is hit
If Attacker total is greater than twice Defender total, Defender
is hit twice
Attacking total greater than three times Defender total,
Defender hit three times, etc.
If the target is hit, damage is resolved as shown on the opposite
SDJH

34

:LOGILUH
For each hit, the target suffers damage dependent on the type
of ranged attack.
For deadly fire: target suffers loss of Strength equal to the
Ranged damage of the attacking Fire Team
For suppressive fire: target suffers loss of one point of Nerve
If the Strength of the target Fire Team is reduced to zero at any
time, the Fire Team is destroyed

The value of the penalty is dependent on the relative speeds of the
DWWDFNHUDQGWKHWDUJHW

To determine the relative speeds of the attacker and target:

If the attacker and target are moving directly away from each
other, add their Speeds together.
If the attacker and target are moving directly toward each
other, subtract the lower Speed from the largest Speed.
If the attacker and target are moving parallel to each other, use
the largest Speed.
Note: infantry that are not using a Move and fire Action have
a Speed of zero, otherwise Speed equals their expended Move
allowance.
Then adjust the Firepower of the attacker based on the relative
speed:
Relative speed 0 - 6: no penalty to Firepower
Relative speed 7 - 14: -3 to attackers Firepower
Realtive speed 15 - 21: -6 to attackers Firepower
