Is there a shorter version of infantry Close assault?
There is also a side bar called Close Assault: Short & Sweet in the green sidebar on page 112
again, any extra notes in red):
Use the Close Assault factor on the
TU card.
Bowl a dice for each TU in contact
and add that to that factor. Highest
wins, loser is removed.
Ganging up? Make a total of the
results on each side.
Vehicles? Max 4 TUs to a vehicle
(more in a second turn of combat)
but don't forget the ADS on the way
in.
Firing into a close assault? You
CAN'T.
And check out flamethrowers,
Molotovs, satchel charges and
limpet mines too…
Is more information available?
There are five free supplements on this website
and supplement 4 has the FAQs section which
has a section on page 12 about Infantry close
assault on vehicles (in the green sidebar). It
says:
Vehicle Close Assault
If more than one infantry TU attacks
a vehicle, which defensive value do
they combine to attack?
The answer is "their most
advantageous". For example, two
Infantry TUs swarm a vehicle, one
to the front (DV10) and one to the
side (DV9). They add both of their
Close Assault values to the result of
2D6 and attack the side DV trying to
equal or beat DV9 with their result.
In this example, four infantry TUs Close
assault a Blower Tank. They choose the most
advantageous quarter to launch their attack:
the rear quarter with a DV of 9, however their
assault is the combined Close Assault Values
of all four infantry TUs plus the result of 2D6
