FFE Markers

[gashlycrumb]

[18.1] Onboard Mortars
After the attack, place a Fire for Effect (FFE) marker on the target hex; the FFE marker stays on the Map until the Admin Phase and attacks any unit that enters its hex.

Does an FFE marker ONLY affect units that enter/Move into/through the hex with the FFE marker even if there are other non-moving units in the hex with the FFE marker?
Example - Hex Z1 contains unit A and an FFE marker. Unit B moves into hex Z1. Does the FFE marker only affect unit B?

Thanks!

I'd say yes (unit B only), since unit A was attacked by the FFE when the latter was placed or when it moved into the hex in a previous impulse.

The FFE marker stays in the hex because the barrage is considered to last more or less the whole turn, and actions in different impulses are supposed to be happening more or less simultaneously anyway.

Yes, each unit is only attacked once by the FFE marker.

Yes, each unit is only attacked once by the FFE marker.

Unless, of course, said unit enter another hex affected by the FFE marker
