Rock lobber / skull chukka
« on: April 29, 2013, 07:12:51 AM »
Hi,

We are uncertain about the need of a line of sight for the two units.

In the German rule book it is mentioned they can shoot over own units without a line of sight.

Later it is mentioned that all artillery needs to be in a higher level for shooting overhead.
My opinion is that they need a line of sight.

Just want to clarify.

Regards,
Jürgen

You need LOS always. If not they cannot shoot.

Artillery on higher ground can see over other units below and shoot, even over your own troops and obstacles (except Forests)

Artillery at the same level than your troops with LOS blocked can not shoot overhead (except Bretonian Trebuchet)

Archers/Infantery on higher ground can not shoot over friendly troops as they are not artillery.
