Terrain fire

 

Click on the orange ‘terrain fire’ button to select terrain fire mode. This mode is used to target terrain in an attempt to destroy it. Select a unit then right click on the terrain you wish to attack, and an orange attack line will appear.

Each fire order instructs the unit to fire a single shot. If you want to shoot more than once at the terrain, issue more orders. During the results phase, if the targeted piece of terrain is destroyed then any subsequent orders to attack that terrain are aborted. This helps to avoid wasting ammunition while shooting terrain.

When using the terrain fire mode you can get extra information about the target terrain if you hold down the right mouse button. The terrain that would be hit by a direct shot is highlighted in red with some numbers below. The first number is the strength of that piece of terrain. The number in brackets is the percentage chance that the terrain will be destroyed by a single hit from the selected unit.
