Another Wed - Another BA V3 Intelligence Report, this time it is Close Combat. The headline is that in V3 close combat in open ground occurs simultaneously. This means that there’s a far greater chance of either a draw (in which case a new round is fought automatically), or the attacker losing the first round more risk! The other big change is that whenever the assault of the enemy has gone across obstacles or rough ground, or defenders that are DOWN when they are assaulted cannot benefit from this defensive position bonus; the fight is resolved simultaneously as normal. Not everyone is happy a bout this significant change from V3, but Marcus Vine has explained in several podcast that the intent of this change was to both better represent history.
