Q1: ?Based on these two rules; if a Starshell/IR illuminates your location, does this limit your unit(s) within that Illuminated Location from seeing anything other than gun flashes or other Illuminated Locations regardless of their NVR?? Meaning they are now restricted from seeing (no LOS) to non-Illuminated Locations even within their NVR.

That is correct.? Even if the NVR is eg 5 hexes, and there is an enemy unit 5 hexes away, but you're illuminated and he is not, you do not have LOS to him; he may have LOS to you.??

Q2: Is there a clear distinction between hexes visible within the NVR, and those same hexes if they become Illuminated Locations (E1.9). Meaning, that hexes within its NVR are?not?considered Illuminate Locations, unless a Starshell/IR or Fire illuminates them.

Hexes are either illuminated or not.? Most are not.? Assume no illumination, units have LOS to hexes only within their NVR.? Assume some illumination.? All units not in that illuminated zone have LOS into that zone (even if they are illuminated).? All units in illuminated hexes have no LOS to all hexes that are not illuminated.? EXCEPTION: a location with gunflashes.?

I hope this helps.

?Hi Folks,

I’m looking for any analysis/tutorial articles about ASL Night rules. ? Specifically any that talk about the differences between NVR and Illumination, with regards to rules E1.101 and E1.9.

The following two rules are absolutely essential in order to play any night scenario properly.
E1.101: ?“The NVR of all units in an Illuminated Location is limited to Illuminated areas only [EXC: Gunflashes as seen per 1.8]".
E1.9: ? ? ?“Illumination can occur via Starshell/IR of Fires - none of which create daylight conditions.? Night rules remain in effect in an Illuminated Location [EXC:..; Illuminated units can see only Gunflashes and into Illuminated Locations; 1.101]”.

Q1: ?Based on these two rules; if a Starshell/IR illuminates your location, does this limit your unit(s) within that Illuminated Location from seeing anything other than gun flashes or other Illuminated Locations regardless of their NVR?? Meaning they are now restricted from seeing (no LOS) to non-Illuminated Locations even within their NVR.

Q2: Is there a clear distinction between hexes visible within the NVR, and those same hexes if they become Illuminated Locations (E1.9). Meaning, that hexes within its NVR are?not?considered Illuminate Locations, unless a Starshell/IR or Fire illuminates them.

Q3: ?If a unit is not ‘within’ an Illuminated Location, can it see out to its NVR and any Illuminated Locations/gunflash (even if there is a gap between NVR and that Illuminated Location/gunflash)?

The reason I am asking, is whether these rules can be utilized to blind a defender by firing a Starshells/IR into his positions, so the he might only be able to shoot out (of his Illuminate Location) at gunflashs and other Illuminated Locations. ? This might allow an attacker to safely move without being seen by avoiding movement through Illuminated Locations.? Of course during his Defensive First Fire Phase he could fire Starshells/IR on your advancing units and the gig could be up, but it isn’t guaranteed.

Thanks,
