Yes, I know there's a yahoogroup. I notice that some infantry RPG types have a range of 1" while others are C (close combat). However, if a moving unit comes within 1" of an enemy, an assault is launched, which also permits C type weapons to be used.
Is there a difference between C and 1 then that I am missing somewhere? |

I would assume that the 1" range gives you some standoff capability that could be a ranged attack as opposed to the far more bloody assault action. |

I did think of one instance: If the range is 1", you can fire at long range at 1.5".
So if you can position yourself exactly 1.5" away, you can shoot without getting shot at. |

Yes, Weasel, you are correct. A 1" effective range gives you a 1.5" long range for standoff AT capability, unlike infantry with a 'C' rating, which can *only* fire in Close combat (1" or less). It's a pretty fine balance, however, since there's only a half-inch between firing and being in close combat. This would be pretty easy to mis-judge (except if you were the one moving and stopping at 1.5"). |

Hey that is fifty meters and that 50 meters is a long way. Mike |

It is when trying to hit something with an RPG! |
