Mortars in Squad Hammer Core PE

[Daniele V]

Mortars do not require line of sight.

1. Does it mean that they roll to hit a target as it was Concealed? (8+)?

2. Is it a difficult shot? (- 2)?

3. Why -2 to Damage?

Thank you.

Official answer from Ivan, he can’t get to answer you directly.

1: Yes (unless you decide otherwise. Very high tech targeting and comms could make it easier)

2: See above. I probably wouldn’t.

3: Since a turn is fairly short, a mortar attack is a few individual shells fired so they are likely to bother a unit, but unlikely to break it on their own.

 

Mortars are best used to fire on units that are already damaged or which are about to be assaulted (so the combined damage knocks them out).

Thank you!
