| 3.3.1 Firing at a skirmish line | When firing at a skirmish line, the skirmish line is considered as a separate target. Results relative to loss and morale will apply only to the skirmish line. In order to receive a positive factor for soutien, ref. table 6 and 7, a skirmish line must have one or more figures within 15 cm of its soutien, ref. 1.3.3. A skirmish line will not cover a unit placed behind it against artillery fire. A skirmish line will cover against small arms fire, provided that the skirmish line is not in base contact with the unit placed behind it. When a skirmish line does not cover against fire, the firing player may chose a target behind the skirmish line, ref. 3.1.3. |
| 3.3.2 Firing at a soutien | When firing at a soutien, those figures in a skirmish line that are within 15 cm of the soutien are calculated as part of the number of figures in the soutien, unless the skirmish line at the same time is fired upon separately. When one or more figures i the skirmish line are calculated as part of the number of figures in the soutien, the results relative to morale will apply also to the entire skirmish line. When the line of fire passes through the skirmish line, and the firing may be carried out, ref. 3.1.3, results relative to loss are to be divided proportionally between the skirmish line and the soutien. |
