direct fire splashes

[narwan]

Hi,

I just played scenario 003 as the egyptians. I noticed that my 17-pounders and 3-inch mortars did splash damage to adjacent hexes (I was firing at scout and RR jeeps) when they were using direct fire. I know that the game routines concerning splash damage have been altered but it still suprised me to see that fairly light calibre weapons have spill-over effects now too. Is there a listing somewhere of what calibres have what 'splash range'?

Also, it may have been a fluke (since it was a single game I played and there were at most 10 instances of splash damage) but I noticed that when the direct fire rounds that missed, landed in the same hex as a unit, that unit never suffered 'secondary' damage. Secondary damage from the direct fire only occured when hexes were 'hit' that were adjacent to the unit suffering secondary damage.
