| Message text Sorry - I'm just seeing this post some 14 months later, but I do have an opinion on it.
The entire premise ignores why the fields are numbered 1 through 5 and merges fields 1 through 3 into one. This creates illogical situations as shown in Example 7 which is ludicrous when seen alongside Example 8.
In Example 7, figure #8, ship B is in fields 2 and 4 while ship A is in fields 3 and 5. Your ship has a clear view of both vessels a should be able to fire a full broadside at either, but the rule as proposed defeats the purpose of dividing the "overlap" area into 3 fields and creates this illogical situation where you cannot fire at ship B because ship A is closer in this merged area.
I do not see how merging fields 1,2, & 3 into one improves the fields of fire rules in any way. |
