"Woods" House Rules
- UNIT IN WOODS WITHIN ONE INCH OF EDGE, OTHER UNIT OUTSIDE WOODS.
- Units within one inch of the edge of woods that are given any
order except hold, or who fire, are treated as normally sighted
targets.
- If a unit performed some action on the previous turn, and was
sighted by any unit outside of the woods, and only holds the
following turn, it is an area target.
- Other than the above, a unit that performs no action is a blind
target.
- UNIT IN WOODS OVER ONE INCH FROM EDGE, OTHER UNIT OUTSIDE
WOODS.
- If unit in woods fires, it is treated as an area target by
units outside of the woods.
- Units that do not fire are treated as blind targets to fire
from outside the woods, regardless of other actions performed.
- Units in woods firing out must still make their visibility
roll, and may be required to fire as blind fire and be shot at
in return as area fire.
- BOTH UNITS IN THE WOODS.
- If a unit rolls for visibility and fails, it fires as blind
fire. Other units may then fire at that unit as area fire. Units
not the target of the fire may make visibility rolls, and if
fail treat the target as area fire. If they succeed, they treat
the target as normal.
- On the turn following a unit in the woods firing, failure to
make a visibility roll with that unit as the target results in
the unit being treated as area fire.
- Hidden markers in the woods that perform no action cannot be
seen by other units in the woods over one inch away.
- OTHER WOODS NOTES.
- Any part of a unit within one inch outside of woods is treated
as if it were in the woods for visibility.
- When a unit is charging in wood it is treated as a blind
target to units outside of the woods until it is one inch from
the edge. It is treated as a normal target for units in the
woods, unless beyond normal sighting possibilities.
- If a unit in a woods is charging out of the woods, charged
units outside the woods do a fear of charge when the unit comes
in sight, or at three inches, whichever is less. If the unit
comes into sight at less than three inches, the charged unit(s)
must do a fear of charge before firing, even if on hold.
- Non-charging targets who are fired at throught woods receive
all appropriate saving rolls.
- Artillery, when firing through any amount of woods, receive a
fire detriment for doing so.
