Title: Suppressed FAOs
Post by: richafricanus on 09 March 2025, 05:46:22 AM
Are suppressed FAO's unable to call in fire or can they do so with a -2CV as per the Command modifiers table on p.22?

As page 22 states - they can attempt a call in but at a -2 to their CV

Page 22 refers to Commands from Co/HQ s and seems clear
I think he was asking about FAOs , they don't have any factors for being suppressed
So does a Sniper stop them trying to call in ?

Ah Speedy , wait I think I've got it
P22 says "if your Command unit is suppressed " but it means any Command unit involved in any action ?
So , including the FAO , who technically isn't in the section on p22 ?
I mean the CO isn't involved is he ? The FAO makes his own test to call in based on all the factors on p48 . There's no mention of suppression, but we're supposed to infer that p22 applies even though no other factors on p22 are relevant
Is that right ?

It's a -2 to the command value or a +2 to the dice roll
Both are detrimental and that is the desired effect.

Ok ,but this really needs errata I think

The only clue we have is in the definition of suppression which says " suppressed command units may only issue orders at a significant disadvantage" .We then go to p22 to find out the disadvantage
 
Adding an extra line to the FAO table on p48 would ,in my opinion, make things a lot more clear
