| 6.3.0 Field work | Field work is carried out by engineers and gunners. However, field work within buildings may be carried out by the units that have occupied a building. Field work must be indicated on the order sheet and must be announced, ref. table 1, and the unit performing field work must be placed in a special formation, ref. 1.3.5. The time expended on field work is indicated in table 20. Where required, rolls of dice for materials are carried out at the announcement of the field work, ref. table 1. When the required minimum points are not achieved, the field work is not commenced during the present bound. New attempts may be announced and carried out during the subsequent bounds. For each consecutive bound with an unsuccessful roll of dice for materials, a positive factor is added, ref. table 20. A unit carrying out field work may not be MD or FD, and it must be stationary, without carrying out any other activity, including participation in melee or being passed through. However, work may be carried out also during the bound where a unit is positioned for field work. It will not interrupt field work that a unit is fired at, unless the unit as a result is brought into MD or FD. When a field work is interrupted, the work performed during the present bound is lost, but the result of work during previous bounds is not lost. The field work may be resumed later, but a new roll of dice for materials will be required. In order to achieve incineration or detonation, a roll of dice must be carried out either the end of the field work or in a later bound. When the minimum required points are not achieved, the incineration or detonation does not take place, but new attempts may be carried out in later bounds. For each consecutive bound with an unsuccessful roll of dice for incineration or detonation, a positive factor is added, ref. table 20. A unit capable of preparing incineration or detonation must be in base contact with the object in order for a roll of dice for incineration or detonation to be carried out. |
