Fire Lanes

Fire Lanes in ASL simulate the real life use of machine guns and their ability to project automatic fire along fixed lines.

Some useful information about Fire Lanes:

Fire Lanes are not placed if the initial attack cowers.
Fire Lanes can be placed when making a To Hit attempt as well as an IFT attack, and TH attempts are not subject to Cowering.
Once placed, they are not affected by cower, but they are affected by breakdown....rolling the breakdown number resolving a FL Resid attack for the MG in question breaks the gun and cancels the fire lane. A9.223
Firelanes vs. a human wave/banzai get to apply the effects of the initial shot plus the firelane immediately affects any units moving in that impulse w/i the just placed firelane despite the fact that the firelane wasn't placed until after they moved...
A FL is not reduced vs a Dashing unit.
You can lay firelanes at night outside your LOS by firing at your pre-reg hex...
A FL's FP is not halved vs a Concealed unit (nor is normal residual).
9.223 Cancellation:...An unarmored vehicle with no PRC (7.212) or an armored vehicle with no Vulnerable PRC which does not end its MPh in the Location do not require cancellation...
