Special Abilities Errata & FAQ

Superior Optics

While this unit is in a hill hex, it can ignore the terrain in any one hex when determining line of sight.

Q: Can you explain this a little more?
A: To determine line of sight for a Nashorn attacking from a hill hex, draw a line from the center of the Nashorn's hex to the center of the target's hex. Ignoring the terrain in the Nashorn's hex, the target's hex, and one other hex of your choice, if you can draw the line without crossing any part of a hex containing towns, hills, or forests, then the Nashorn has line of sight to the target.

Q: Can a Nashorn use its Superior Optics ability to "ignore" a smoke screen?
A: No. Superior Optics allows the Nashorn to ignore one hex of terrain when determining line of sight. A smoke screen isn't terrain and doesn't modify terrain in any way.

No Turret

This unit can attack Vehicles only if they are in front of this unit.

Extended Range 20

This unit’s long range against Vehicles is 5–20 hexes.

Q: German Flak 88 w/shield just says Extended Range 20 versus the North Africa 88 which has Extended Range 20 for vehicles only. Which is it?
A: The Flak 88 w/shield should have the same wording as the other 88s. It should say;
"Extended Range 20 - This unit's long range against Vehicles is 5-0 hexes."
