Suppression Fire: Autofire Lives!

[Dust Raven]

I think I understand it now. Basically, the attacker fires his Autofire rate per Segment, and that rate is divided up amongst the hexes/hex lines he's firing into, right?

 

So using my previous example, the character is using 20 rounds per Phase (Autofire 5 times number of Segments per Phase), which are divided equaly among the hexes he's firing into to (which would be 2.5 per Segment, but I suppose I could alternate Segements on which gets to round up).

 

Have I got it right now?

 

Thanks for your help, Steve!

You're correct on the number of rounds, but there's no specific precise division among the hex lines. It's easier just to say they're all sprayed into the defined area, since trying to keep track of who's been hit in which hex line, etc., etc., would be a bookkeeping nightmare, I think. But of course, GMs who like that sorta thing are welcome to try it.
