I seem to recall that the initiative player is entitled to fire back but the more it happens the less effective their fire will be, but I can't say for sure. Sorry, I'm not much help I'm afraid!The Tactical Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980190745315043364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-58936407163058678582022-11-13T08:58:08.017+11:002022-11-13T08:58:08.017+11:00I know its been a few years but would you have an ...I know its been a few years but would you have an answer to my question on reactions by chance?Desperation Moralehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035921329288500173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-59511891133044899682022-11-13T08:32:06.471+11:002022-11-13T08:32:06.471+11:00Thank you for the wonderful AAR. It is very hard ...Thank you for the wonderful AAR. It is very hard to find good ones for this game which is a shame as it's one of my favourite systems. I will apologize in advance for the length of this post but I am hoping that you can help me with a pretty important rules question here. I have posted questions about this in the Ambush Alley forum but have not received an answer that is backed up with any sort of support from the rules. You always seem to reply and give well thought out answers, and as you have actually played a game I am hoping you could lend your insight. <br /><br />My question: <br />Part I: If an initiative unit A elects to move and fire on non-initiative unit B, which prompts a fire reaction from non-initiative units B and C. B beats A but C fails. So:<br />Even though you resolve attacks starting with the non-initiative unit which failed, you don’t apply the effects immediately right? C failed and therefore shoots after A fires. That means you roll C’s attack but when A fires at B you don’t take into account the effects of C’s attacks. Is this about right?<br />A only fires at B, as this was his action. Even though two units fire at him and even though he rolls two different reaction tests, he only ever gets to fire once.<br />This does mean that (with the exception of overwatch) initiative units can only participate in one round of fire, right?<br />Part II: After several more actions it comes time for the non-initiative player to activate any of his poor units that have not reacted yet. He activates unit D which fires on initiative unit A.<br /><br />A still cannot respond correct? As I read it, an initiative unit cannot react unless they forfeit their activation or are on overwatch.<br /><br />Now, I have heard some people say that a regular unit can always respond with fire when fired upon but I cannot find this anywhere in the rules. It makes sense I suppose, but rules as written I cannot see anything that supports it. <br /><br />From the rulebook: <br />"When the player with initiative announces that he is<br />activating a unit to move and/or fire within line of sight<br />of opposing units, those units may choose to React with<br />fire or movement of their own. These Reactions may<br />result in an exchange of fire (called a Round of Fire) or<br />a frenzied rush for cover." <br /><br />Also: <br />"Non-initiative units may choose to React to the actions of<br />an initiative unit within their Line of Sight by engaging it<br />in a round of normal or Suppression fire. As with<br />Reaction movement, a Reaction Test must be made to see<br />if the Reaction fire occurs before or after the initiative<br />unit’s declared action (See Reaction Tests, pg. 68)."<br /><br />I can only find rules allowing a non-initiative unit to react to fire. I cannot find anything in the main book or the simplified version that allows an initiative unit to return fire when fired upon as a reaction. <br /><br />I beg of you sir, please enlighten me!Desperation Moralehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035921329288500173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-31684751216109836212018-10-19T21:40:00.486+11:002018-10-19T21:40:00.486+11:00Good write up.

However that’s always the case with a new set of rules that uses some unusual mechanics. Plus, asymmetrical warfare is difficult to model but fun when it’s done well.
