RE: A question of Suppression

Hi Tom

OK, hate to do this but "the rules say" that suppression only effects
vehicles in the mount/dismount situation.

If we want to rationlise this it makes sense that firing is via Firecon
and not effected by being closed down.

Let's face it, we are assuming that the weapon systems of 2185 are
pretty guchi and video gamish. So watching fall of shot for a main gun
with the Mk One Eyeball is not going to be all that important. 

Now if you want to fire the main weapon without the Firecon then go
ahead and use the d4 in place of Firecon!!

Well that's my take,

Cheers,

Owen G

Hi Tom, not too confusing here.

Vehicle suppression only prevents Crew/Infantry mount/dismount and
firing of external mount weapons.

I'm not taking this private because my mail to you bounced (couldn't 
find your domain apparently....the wonder (NOT) of DNS....). 
Question: Does suppression penalize vehicle firing in SG2? It 
definitely does in most old style WW2 games (smaller view perspective 
for targeting, disturbance of incoming (if ineffective) fire).
