Supression Fire

[Vanguard]

I've read the rules for supression fire as well as checking the faq. Now, I think I understand the rules and the way they are suppose to work. I just want to ask to make sure.

 

From what I've read, you pick X hex lines to Supress and then open fire (up to the maximum allowable shots from the weapon in question). Now, anyone that enters these hex rows can be attacked.

 

So far, I got this and it makes perfect sense.

 

Now we come to the part that I'm having trouble wrapping my fuzzy little brain around.

 

Let's say you're weapon is Autofire 5. The way I read it is like this. If 5 people try to cross those surpressed hex lines you get a chance to hit all five of them. We'll say you hit them all.

 

Now, same phase, only a few Dex later. Another 5 people rush into the hex. From what I'm reading, they get a free ride (at least till next segement).

 

Is this the case?

Yes, that's correct. If you're only firing five shots in a Segment, at most you can only hit five people that Segment. You might make more than five Attack Rolls, but at most you're restricted to five hits.
