Your line between the black and yellow is so crisp.  How did you get it that straight and even?

Thanks @CAVBOSS for all of that clarification.  I'll annotate my rules 🙂

These SMs apply to the IDF combat roll.

 

Ah yes, on page 30, I missed that!  Thanks!  Good, it feels like stationary and  salvo fire should affect that combat roll as well.   Cover gives you a bonus twice then, once on the strike-point roll, and one on the combat roll.

Critical hit add a D6 to the combat roll, Critical fumble check for 'out of ammo'.

Do critical hits or fumbles have any effect on the strike point roll then?  Other than the defender gets to reposition the strike point?  Are there two rolls for indirect fire that can result in out of ammo?

@Ultramarineand I played a game with the rules update recently.  We we unsure how the new indirect fire rule target point roll was handled.  We understand that you first make a strike point roll.  If that roll is successful the rules say you make a Combat Roll target point (6) to see if you hit.  While it says strike point roll SMs don't apply, are we understanding that correctly that there are never any modifiers to that combat roll, you are always trying to beat a 6?  Also, would a combat roll of a 12 be a critical hit and add a D6 to the score?  Does a critical fumble on that combat roll have any effect other than missing (like running out of ammo)?

I was also a bit uncertain of the diagram on p.29 about the strike-point combat roll and cover.  It seems like it is saying that even though indirect fire doesn't need line of sight, if a model is within 1" of blocking cover (E3 cover between the attacker and defender) they can't be targeted by indirect fire.  The diagram shows the strike-point on the CAV D1 and that blast being on the unprotected side of CAV D2.  The hill providing the cover is on the opposite side of the CAV from the blast.  I feel like I'm missing something.

We did enjoy the game, and it fired us up for another!

When will the winners be announced?  

Nice looking scenario.  I like that it is objective based, that looks like it will lead to a different kind of game.

I love the shadows on this picture, very well done!

J--

Thanks, I really appreciate it!  The shadow was the original concept but turned out to be rather tricky.  My son said I should only have the shadow in it, and I was like "but it is a miniature painting contest!"

I'd like to enter the diorama contest with this one titled "Night Stalker"
