Just played for the first time two days ago. It's an awesome game, but I have a bunch of rules questions.
1. I'm confused about perimeter. How do you determine it and what purpose does it serve in the game? Can artillery attachments start the fight before the perimeter is breached?
2. Are artillery attacks still affected by the defender's cover? The book's mention of long range weapons as "artillery" implied to me an up-and-over kind of thing.
4. Can a mech with multiple gun attachments choose more than 1 target in a turn, assuming there were appropriate targets in range of each? I assume no, but if 2 same-range guns can combine to d8 why can't 2 different range guns fire simultaneously as well?
5. Do you always have to declare a target before you roll? What if no target is within range, but you're sure one will be after the roll?
That's all I got for now. Thanks for an awesome game!
