View Full Version : Covering fire and pillboxes

Reading the rules as written I'd say that even though a unit is in a pillbox, it's still scared out of its wits when a Bren or bar opens fire on it and can therefore not return fire....Is this intended to work like this? ( i.e. Did I understand this correctly? I realize compromises have to be made to keep a war simulation game playable, but doesn't this one ( as well as countless other ones which have been addresses over and over again on this forum...) seem to be just a little bit over the top and unrealistic? Wouldn't it be better as many have suggested, that this SA should only come into play if the Bren or bar actually managed to disrupt the target? I love this game, but it could still be so much better...........

1) Nothing about the pillbox negates the Covering Fire special ability.

2) Just a reminder that this forum is for rules questions, not discussions of design philosophy.
