Greg:
Sorry I was so slow in getting this to you. The abbreviations below are fairly self evident: "Vis" equals "Max visibility". "Ext" and "Eff" relate to the Troop Quality summary table. "3x", "2x", etc, are the multipliers of the appropriate Troop Quality values. Note the ruleconcerning the "T' autospot distance will have to be repealed. I wouldadd arule stating that if the stand being spottedis arecon patrol or FO, determine spottingchanceas aboveand then halve, rounding down.
If you have any questions, let me know.
John Holtz has been experimenting with a modified spotting table in an effort to make it simplier and tied to the Troop Quality rating. Below is the result of his latest efforts in that area.--GN
| Category of Stand Being Spotted | Type of Stand Being Spotted | Chance of Being Spotted |
|---|---|---|
| Stationary under cover | Vehicle | less than or equal to 10" Ext |
| Stationary under cover | Other | Must move into contact |
| Moving Under Cover | Vehicle | less than or equal to 20" 2x Ef, less than or equal to Vis Eff |
| Firing stationary in cover Statationary in open | Other | less than or equal to 20" Eff, less than or equal to Vis Ext |
| Moving in Open Firing and Moving in cover Firing stationary in Open | Any | less than or equal to 20" 3xEff, less than or equal to Vis 2xEff |
| Moving and Firing in Open | Any | less than or equal to Vis Autospot |
