Hello Pete.

These points were raised in a game tonight - I think they've cropped up before so maybe they're suitable for the FAQ:

Question1. If the aiming point for Scheduled Artillery is in the centre of a wood (or other High Area Terrain for that matter), can an FAO use it as a Registered Target for a requested shoot even though he can only see the edge of the wood and not the actual aiming point?

Question2. If terrain (say a wood) is partially between a firing unit and its target (e.g. say half of the target's front is behind the wood and the other half is clear of the wood), is the target classed as in partial cover?

The answers I remember (or dreamt!) are yes and no respectively, but confirmation from the horse's mouth (if you'll pardon the expression) is always welcome.

Thank you

1. Yes as long as the aiming point is within 10cm of the edge of the wood.

2. More than half of the base must be in the cover for the unit to gain the benefit of being in cover.
